Kanye West Gets His Own Bitcoin-Like Cryptocurrency “CoinYe West”

Following in the footsteps of a dim-witted Shiba Inu, the one and only Kanye West is soon to have his own cryptocurrency, with CoinYe West set to launch on 11th January, complete with the tagline “WE AIN’T MININ’, WE PICKIN’”.

Perfect for all your non-traceable online spendature, there are already six notable cryptocurrencies in existence – Bitcoing, Litecoin, Ripple, Peercoin, Namecoin and, of course, Dogecoin. The value of a single Bitcoin skyrocketed to around $1,000 in 2013.

The folks behind CoinYe, who are staying anonymous in case Yeezy himself gets pissed, have promised “no premine, no screwed up fake “fair” launches, shyster devs, muted channels, and fucked up wallets”. But of course.

The design also has nods to K. Widdles’ supposed illuminati connections, with the designers saying, “We chose to represent Kanye because he is and always has been a trendsetter, and he’s always keeping things unique.”

They’ve even tweeted Kanye directly, asking “Kanye, have you ever invested in bitcoin or litecoin? What do you think of @CoinyeWest ?” No response from the man himself just yet, but we’re sure a personalised currency is just the gift for the Yeezy who has everything. Kimmy, take note.
