Odell Beckham Jr is the latest NFL player to get FULLY paid in BTC !

Hi HODLers and Bitcoiners,

Today, we learned that **Odell Beckham Jr is going to take all his $4.25mn salary in Bitcoin**.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSJXkMPm3tvphNL5v57Q1u5HhFyYbCxwjH2umpv99gdTS/image.png)

This will be done through a partnership with CashApp which seems to be one of the biggest Bitcoin advocate.

CashApp is behind this $1mn BTC giveaway that O.Beckham Jr mentioned on his Twitter account:

>To ALL MY FANS out there, no matter where u r: THANK YOU! I’m giving back a total of $1M in BTC rn too

https://twitter.com/i/status/1462836953888534528

Odell Beckham Jr seems to be quite deep into the rabbithole as he currently has a CryptoPunk-style image as his Twitter profile picture. He currently plays for the LA Rams.

Los Angeles is also the city where Crypto.com signed a $700mn naming deal with the LA Clippers.

This latest news follows another earlier one where NFL superstar **Aaron Rodgers stated he would be receiving part of his $22 million salary in BTC.**

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSfEqKyZ3yUy8zfgDymXLz4aNwBjfbYUqvbHRDKLwCTFA/image.png)

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers — recently in the national spotlight after deceiving the public about his COVID-19 vaccine status — also said he would be receiving part of his $22 million salary in BTC.

![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcNk1hdAw7bV49JckyvZGdzZ5xTjY9E8JVnb1FbVHPByr/image.png)

Okung was one of the precursor as he asked his salary to be converted into BTC back in 2020.

>In December, $6.5 million of Okung’s salary was converted to Bitcoin, which computes to about 240 BTC. Now valued at $58,914.70 each—a stunning 118-percent increase—Okung’s 240 BTC is now worth an estimated $14.1 million.

**NFL seems to be quite a great Bitcoin PR !** I guess it can only amplify and soon we might even be able to buy tickets or merchandise in BTC as they might pay most of their players in Bitcoin in a few years :D.

Stay safe out there Degens !

Hello @vlemon
I didn't know these sports stars were accepting BTC as part payment for their work, which I actually think is great. This gives me cause to keep thinking that cryptocurrencies came to stay, and that regardless of the attacks they suffer from some states, they will not fall, and will rather continue to be used more and more.

👍 vlemon, josevas217
