Not to be racist, but I don't know a single black person that owns a bitcoin or is in the bitcoin world.  Anyone?

Snoop Dogg was black last time I checked.

Does Snoop own Bitcoins or is he in the Bitcoin world?

Yes he is. Selling his latest "tunes" with bitcoin.

Pretty sure he wasn't being serious. He also said his album will be delivered by drones.

He confuses me. He is "Snoop Lion" now according to my son ..... obviously pays a lot for PR to be #trending Smiley


Yeah, any celeb who mentions Bitcoin is automatically gonna get a shitload of free publicity. Think he was just Snoop Lion for that crappy reggae album he did last year. There's a vice documentary on it if you're interested.

I actually watched that documentary with my son a couple of months back. Learning about Bob Marley was more interesting that Snoop piggybacking on Bob Marley ..... but there is a fantastic documentary I saw about Bob Marley a year or so back. Forget the title, but very interesting. Turns out his dad was some English dude on horseback who was a manager at a tea plantation in Jamaica, and disappeared after making Bob's mum pregnant. Had no idea Bob (Robert) was half English. But to me, one of the first "citizens of the world". He made fortunes but gave most of it away in his lifetime. And never left a will, he said "I want people to reveal their true spirit" ... referring to which of his family members would show their greed fighting over his legacy.

Sorry to rant. Personal hero of mine Smiley
