Lily Allen regrets that she did not take the gig that was paying "hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins"
Lily Allen has confirmed that she was offered hundreds of thousands of Bitcoins back in 2009 for streaming a live gig on Second Life. She did not think much of the offer and declined it instantly. Now she is regretting her choice.
