Who orange-pilled Kanye West? Is the most controversial person in the world a bitcoiner now? Over the last few weeks, the fashion mogul\/ rapper has dominated news cycle after news cycle. And it now seems like bitcoin has entered his orbit. Or, did Kanye West enter bitcoin\u2019s orbit? The always-calculated rapper\/ performer was photographed<\/a> wearing a \u201cSatoshi Nakamoto\u201d cap, which sent the Internet into a frenzy.<\/p>\n

The whole situation makes sense and the timing works. JPMorgan and West\u2019s Yeezy brand recently ended their business relationship, which lead to the billionaire receiving a slew of bitcoin enthusiast\u2019s messages on Twitter. It also left many to wonder exactly why did the relationship end? Was it just because of West\u2019s controversial opinions and wild antics? Or was this a genuine parting of ways?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The real question, though, is this: does JPMorgan have the ability to turn off their banking service on an individual just because they don\u2019t like his or her political views?<\/p>\n

The Kanye West\/ JP Morgan Incident<\/p>\n

On October 12th, Republican author Candace Owens published a letter from JPMorgan to the Yeezy high command. \u201cEarlier today I learned that Kanye West was officially kicked out of JP Morgan Chase bank. I was told there was no official reason given, but they sent this letter as well to confirm that he has until late November to find another place for the Yeezy empire to bank,\u201d she tweeted.<\/p>\n

As it happens in politics, the story was quickly refuted. CNBC News Anchor Sara Eisen counterpunched with, \u201cKanye West announced on CNBC during our interview he was pulling his money out of JPMorgan and switching to Bank of America because Jamie Dimon didn\u2019t call him. This was several weeks ago, September 15. This letter appears to be an acknowledgment of his breakup.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whichever the case, recognizing a marketing opportunity, bitcoiners everywhere took to Twitter to bombard Kanye West with recommendations. Say what you will about Kanye West, but the man has as much right to banking services as any of us. And he shouldn\u2019t be censored because of his beliefs. The world needs uncensorable, apolitical money, and bitcoin is the only alternative in that regard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The message seems to have reached Kanye West\u2019s ears.<\/p>\n\n

\nThe Satoshi Nakamoto Hat<\/p>\n

In one of mainstream media\u2019s many daily posts about Kanye West\u2019s sightings, the Daily Mail caught the fashion mogul conveying a particular message. Lately, West had been wearing a \u201c2024\u201d cap, which allegedly refers to something as important as his presidential campaign. Today, he wore a \u201cSatoshi Nakamoto\u201d hat. Reporting the incident, the Daily Mail<\/a> said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rapper, 45, swapped his usual 2024 cap for a black hat that read Satoshi Nakamoto \u2013 a nod to the mysterious bitcoin creator.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybe the JPMorgan story was in the air, or maybe the rapper is this calculated. In the same article, the Daily Mail quotes Kanye West\u2019s recent Drink Champs interview, where he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cSo when I drive by and I see the Hulu ads and I see the JP [Morgan Chase] ads, I\u2019m gonna let y\u2019all know right now, the devil is a defeated foe \u2013 you can\u2019t poison me.\u201d<\/p>\n

He probably wasn\u2019t talking about bitcoin at the moment, but he might as well.<\/p>\n

Is Kanye West the correct spokesperson for bitcoin, though? The controversial figure has expressed his interest in the technology. He even went so far as to say that bitcoiners have a real perspective on the \u201ctrue liberation of America and humanity\u201d in his Joe Rogan interview. And now, he might have a reason to use bitcoin. He might\u2019ve seen the problem that centralization, politicization, and weaponization of access bring.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The question is, does bitcoin want Kanye West? The man is surely controversial, to say the least.<\/p>\n
