Britney Spears may have used BTC to hide her purchases from her father

In the wake of the hype surrounding the #FreeBritney movement, the hosts of the Toxic podcast, Tess Barker and Barbara Gray, stated that the pop singer, since 2014, could use Bitcoin for purchases that she wanted to hide from her trustee father Jamie Spears. Zycrypto reports.

Recall that in 2008, the court ordered compulsory custody of the singer, recognizing her as mentally unstable. Since then, her father is considered the copyright holder of all the tracks she releases, and also has complete control over fees, performances and costs.

Recently, audio recordings of Britney's court testimony, confirmed by National Public Radio (NPR), were leaked to YouTube, in which she wanted to end her 13-year guardianship, citing her father completely disenfranchising her and forcing her to take drugs against her will.

Barker and Gray clarified that the singer's use of BTC as a means of payment is only an assumption, but so far no official comments have been received from Britney or her representatives.

Chainalysis analyzed the crypto activity of 154 countries and came to the conclusion that the classic market leaders, China and the United States, fell in the ranking due to a decrease in the volume of peer-to-peer digital money trading.
