Lily Allen shouldn\'t feel too bad. At the time, she had no way of knowing if bitcoin was going to be the next beenz or e-cash. (Upon which investors lost hundreds of millions of dollars).\
\
\"Lily Allen has admitted her regret at turning down \"hundreds of thousands of bitcoin\" in payment for an online concert that would now be worth at least 20 times the £6m fortune she has earned from album and single sales and royalties.\
\...\
Since then, though, they have soared in value. Today they are hovering around £590 each, meaning a fee of 200,000BTC would now be worth £118m to the singer if she had kept them -- almost 20 times what she is now reported to be worth, according to last year's Sunday Times Rich List.\"\
