Odell Beckham Jr. is having the last laugh about his Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin bet in 2021. The
Miami Dolphins• Спорт » Виды спорта » Американский футбол » Национальная футбольная лига » Клубы НФЛ » Майами Долфинс wide receiver took to social media Wednesday to remind everyone
about his decision to receive his $750,000 Rams salary in Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin three years
ago.
"Who said taking my Rams salary in Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin was dumb again?" Beckham said
Wednesday afternoon as Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin traded above $90,000, which is a nearly 40%
gain from when he made the conversion at $64,293 back on November 12, 2021.
Reading that tweet immediately draws flashes of an iconic intro from rapper
Chamillionaire: "They see me rolling,' they hatin’"
While Beckham's representatives haven't confirmed if he's held
onto his entire Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin position, his social media victory lap suggests he
stuck with his conviction through the market's ups and downs. Any profits
would face capital gains tax if sold, on top of the income tax likely paid on
the initial salary.
The NFL star's crypto holdings were converted through a deal with Block
Inc.'s Cash App in November 2021.
While his investment took a beating during the crypto winter of 2022, dropping
to $401,500 at one point , this year’s rally has put him firmly ahead, despite
his decision being called out as a "cautionary tale" during the bear cycle.
Beckham isn't alone in the crypto-athlete club. Former Carolina Panthers• Спорт » Виды спорта » Американский футбол » Национальная футбольная лига » Клубы НФЛ » Каролина Пантерз
player Russell Okung made waves in 2020 by converting $6.5 million of his
salary to Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin at $27,000 — a stake worth over $20.9 million today.
Other sports stars like Tom Brady, Saquon Barkley, and Trevor Lawrence have
dabbled in crypto compensation through various deals and endorsements.
In terms of compensation in crypto, jobs in the crypto industry continue to
see an uptick as more companies continue to hire and scale their projects.
Data from Tiger Research shows that the crypto industry's momentum
extends beyond price action, with global Web3 job postings surging nearly 20%
year-over-year following the US SEC's approval of Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin ETFs in January
2024.
Asia leads the employment surge, with Singapore, India, and Hong Kong emerging
as key hiring hubs.
Companies have "started accelerating hiring," and most of these companies pay
either partially or in full with "tokens, ETH, and often BTC," Raman Shalupau,
founder and CEO of CryptoJobsList, a prominent job portal for the crypto
industry, told Decrypt .
The surge in crypto values follows Donald Trump's election victory and
his dramatic shift from crypto skeptic to advocate, promising to make the US
"the crypto capital of the planet." Bitcoin• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Bitcoin has jumped 139% over the past
year, while Ethereum• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Ethereum is up 55% to $3,100.
