Apparently Brady has said in the Past that he would like to be paid in cryptocurrency.
And I know for a fact there is a few Athletes in different sports being paid in cryptocurrency.
These Athletes are…
– Russell Okung is the 1st NFL Player to be paid in #Bitcoin, Half his salary was paid in #BTC or bitcoin during the 2020 #NFL Season During the Carolina Panthers. He Made about 13 Million in total, so that means approximately 6.5 million worth of Bitcoin was received at certain throughout the 2020 Season. I’m not sure the Value at those Payment times but it seems that in the Beginning of the Season when he started receiving the payment in Bitcoins that the approx. value was about 10k by the time the season was over in 2020 it was around 37k per #Bitcoin.
In 2020 he apparently ended up with about 120 Bitcoins at an average cost of about 27k per #BTC. Currently the Price @ 1:32 am EST on 10/15/2021 – Bitcoin is About 60K… But I foresee I drop shortly after it reaches and crosses the 60k Price Mark.
So Russell Okung’s Bitcoin is worth $60k each, that price at the count of 120 Bitcoins = approximately 7.2 million USD. 120 Bitcoins at the Average Cost of 27k = 3.25 million. So that growth and appreciation of Funds over the year basically doubled his amount that he started thanks to a pop in Bitcoin Prices. So his Investment and insistence to being payed in bitcoin paid off for him dramatically and increased his salary in 2020 for the 13 million to potentially over 20 million. After his Bitcoin investment in December and paying half back in taxes he was still able to Make more money this way instead of keeping his payment in the Traditional form of cash, thanks to his intuition that the price of Bitcoin would increase dramatically.
– Germain Soccer Star Lionel Messi, payments are in the form of ‘fan tokens’ created by the team. Which could be extremely Risky for the Star because we don’t know how Stable the PSG Token is. I’m willing to bet it’s not as stable as Bitcoin & Ethereum. So I would Definitely Advise to switch Payments to BTC or Ethereum if possible because those are significantly more stable to use.
– The Owner for the Sacramento Kings will soon offer a Portion or All of an employees salary in Bitcoin if Wanted…
– The Oakland Athletics & the Dallas Mavericks will begin to accept Bitcoins for Merchandise, Tickets, and if not yet they will probably soon accept Bitcoin for Concessions also.
Elon Musk:
There are many people out there Championing Bitcoin and Even offering to accept Bitcoin as payment for their products, like Elon Musk for his Vehicles, but he eventually was able to tank the price back down when he talked shit about Bitcoin after years of Blindly Hyping it and accepting it, he then decided that it all the sudden takes too much energy to mine Bitcoin, but somehow he deems the extremely dangerous, life killing process of mining for the materials to make his batteries OK and not a big deal. But you better stop those Bitcoin Miners using energy to mine.
He Tanked the Price of Bitcoin with his Decision to no longer accept Bitcoin as Payment for his Tesla Cars. Not only that but he decided to talk shit on Bitcoin about how much Energy it Takes to Mine while leaving out the fact that his cars take far more energy to build and are much more dangerous to build, contributing to many deaths across the world…
Because often his erratic behavior can have damning effects on the people and companies he is around or part of. To him its no big deal if the stock price drops a bunch but to some people something like that can bankrupt people. A filter is often extremely important and needed to Keep someone from causing issues.
I am not discriminatory towards People with Asperger’s but I happen to feel that those people shouldn’t be running fortune 500 companies unless they have the Ability to apply a filter that could help protect the Multi millions of dollars of peoples money and the careers that are at risk. Elon has already caused this problems before and lost certain people a lot of money but he keeps receiving chance after chance.
