Kanye West gets his own currency, “Coinye West”
Looking for a digital currency alternative to the Bitcoin? Also happen to be a hip-hop fan? Well, why not merge the two with the Kanye West-inspired “Coinye West”.
“Our goal with Coinye West is to make it easier for people to use cryptocurrency,” its anonymous creators told Noisey. “We chose to represent Kanye because he is and always has been a trendsetter, and he’s always keeping things unique.”
They even want the rapper himself to get involved with the project, adding: “I can picture a future where Coinye is used to buy concert tickets, with cryptographically verified virtual tickets, and other ideas I can’t give away just yet.”
The cryptocurrency is set to launch on 11 January.
