Anybody calculate what kind of lick he hit?
I think he put half of his 13 million in bitcoin. So 6.5 million which jumped to like 10.5 million. So basically he made that 13 million contract into 18.5 million and if it keeps increasing who knows how much he made.

Broke boi shut up we don’t take ur advice

Just shows how broke nikka informed y’all are.

When you got a million bucks it’s easy to turn that into millions more. Bitcoin and things like it are the risky way for “normal” people to come up.

Nothing wrong with investing. But to ask your employer to pay you with cryptocurrency is about as risky a thing you can do with your money. It’s great it seemingly turned out good for dude(tho recent reports say this “story” was false from the jump) but he could have invested in Bitcoin or anything else and made a bunch of money over time without asking his employer to pay him in Bitcoin, like lots of rich people do :ehh:

Your broke ass can’t do none of this :ufdup:

Bro most likely made 10 times his money. Bitcoin was around back 6-8k a year ago.

So technically his 6.5 mill that year turned into 65 million just cuz he paid in a different currency.

Wow, just like Rob Gronkowski he just shed all that extra weight

I’m sure he pulled all his money out of Bitcoin during the crash, dude made at least an extra 40% of his contract value out of that chess move.
