Okay, so the US Treasury isn’t signing off on this, but Kanye West is getting his own form of digital currency come January 11 called Coinye West.
If you’re unaware digital currency is real and things like Bitcoin and cryptocurrency’s popularity are on the rise thanks to our online culture. So with that come the novelty items, like Coinye West. The rapper’s coin will join the likes of Dogecoin based on “Doge” that dog meme that’s floating around.
West was the likely candidate for the creators because of his place in pop culture. They explained, “We chose to represent Kanye because he is and always has been a trendsetter, and he’s always keeping things unique.” Yup, unique trendsetter, that’s Kanye – remember those plain white t-shirts he sold for too much last year?
The creators also hope that West eventually supports the Coinye West. If he gets something from it, we’re sure he will. This leaves us to wonder who’s next to get a novelty coin…Perhaps the guys of Duck Dynasty would have before the scandal; maybe Beyonce will have Beycoins? The possibilities are endless.

U know it is a scam right and you are promoting it. Its run by a music company firstly which goes against the whole ideology of open source de-central crypto and being a company means they want to make profits… also they admitted to premining and reserving supply as well as being caught amending the total supply figure by twitter users TOTAL UTTER SCAM! Shame on you for reporting it!
