美國說唱傳奇人物納西爾瓊斯(Nasir Jones)(專業名稱為 Nas)是加密貨幣的早期採用者之一,甚至利用他的藝術來行銷該行業
American rap legend Nasir Jones, known professionally as Nas, has been one of the early adopters of cryptocurrency and even used his art to market the industry to the masses. On Apr. 30, 2021, a track titled "Sorry Not Sorry" was dropped, featuring Nas along with DJ Khaled, Jay-Z, James Fauntleroy, and Beyoncé. The song showed Nas rapping the lines, "I'm coin-based, basically crypto-currency scarface. Join us, there's gotta be more of us," in what was a clear reference to his stakes in Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) — the cryptocurrency exchange that went public just two weeks before. Nas invested in the company through his venture capital firm QueensBridge Venture Partners in 2013, a year after the trading platform was launched. Since its direct listing, the stock has been closely tied to the price movement of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), the world's biggest cryptocurrency. An investment of $1000 in Bitcoin when the track was released on Apr. 30, 2021, would have fetched 0.017351 units of the cryptocurrency. Nas has been a visionary Bitcoiner and once famously said," “Bitcoin will evolve into an industry as big, if not bigger, than the internet.” The hip-hop star, whose albums like “Illmatic” have been chartbusters, bought the apex cryptocurrency when it was valued at $500, and continues to hold on to his stash, according to well-known Bitcoin journalist Pete Rizzo. Apart from Nas, Grammy award-winning rapper Eminem referenced Bitcoin in the song “Not Alike” from the best-selling album “Kamikaze."
美國饒舌傳奇人物納西爾瓊斯(Nasir Jones)(專業名稱為 Nas)一直是加密貨幣的早期採用者之一,甚至利用他的藝術向大眾推銷該行業。 2021 年 4 月 30 日,Nas 與 DJ Khaled、Jay-Z、James Fauntleroy 和 Beyoncé 合作的一首名為“Sorry Not Reason”的歌曲被刪除。在這首歌中,Nas 唱著歌詞,「我是基於硬幣的,基本上是加密貨幣疤面。加入我們,我們的人數會更多。」這清楚地提到了他在Coinbase Global Inc.(納斯達克: COIN)-兩週前剛上市的加密貨幣交易所。 2013 年,即該交易平台推出一年後,納斯透過他的風險投資公司 QueensBridge Venture Partners 對該公司進行了投資。自直接上市以來,該股票一直與全球最大的加密貨幣比特幣(CRYPTO:BTC)的價格走勢密切相關。當該曲目於 2021 年 4 月 30 日發行時,投資 1000 美元的比特幣可兌換 0.017351 單位的加密貨幣。納斯是一位富有遠見的比特幣支持者,他曾說過一句名言:“比特幣將演變成一個與互聯網一樣大(甚至更大)的行業。”據著名比特幣記者皮特·里佐 (Pete Rizzo) 報道,這位嘻哈明星的《Illmatic》等專輯曾風靡全球,他在價值 500 美元時購買了頂級加密貨幣,並繼續持有他的藏品。美獲獎饒舌歌手艾米納姆在暢銷專輯《Kamikaze》中的歌曲《Not Alike》中引用了比特幣。
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $63,684.21, up 2.76% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro. Shares of Coinbase closed 4.79% higher during Friday's session, mirroring the apex cryptocurrency's rise on the day.
