🏈 Former Carolina Panthers player Russell Okung caused a stir when half of his $13 million salary was converted into Bitcoin. The result? It's now worth $21 million! 🚀

- In 2020, Okung became one of the first athletes to accept his salary in Bitcoin. At that time, the price of Bitcoin was around $27,000.

- Even though it dropped to $17,000 in 2022, Okung remained calm and did not sell. And sure enough, Bitcoin has now soared to $88,000!

- His Panthers contract total is now $27.8 million, up $14.8 million from his smart decision.

Okung, who is now retired, is even more enthusiastic about inviting other athletes to follow in his footsteps through the Bitball initiative. "How long do I hold Bitcoin? Just like I breathe," he said.
