Says he got paid on May 2, 2021. Right when BTC was peaking at ~$58,000. And then crashed the next week back to ~$30k.
Rough if the timing is accurate, but it did jump up again in November to an all time high in the $60ks, so maybe he sold off then after seeing how the summer went.
Or he's still holding for the long haul. I'm sure he's mostly living off endorsement money anyways. Football money is to play/invest/gamble with for some of these guys.
Odell Beckham took his salary in Bitcoin a few years back.
Prior to the recent Superbowl, they said that due to the BTC volatility, Beckham was playing the 2021 season for about $37,000. Ouch.

But some of them will be coming back strong. Others will not be coming back from their decline.

Exactly. Do it now while Aaron Rodgers is busy playing golf.

It's nice to see that golf is not just for old white guys in plaid pants.

If a certification is required, but we have a total system failure, why would anybody put their faith in a certification? And would there even be a governing body to manage the certification process, should the system fail?
Regarding the impacts of Evergrande, I admit that I am skeptical. Any time I hear of an earthquake of an event, I wonder why a single event would lead to total chaos on the stock market.
FWIW, I have a computer science degree (UB), and did devops for a living before I moved to being a sales engineer 8 years ago. I understand the tech behind "coins", and therefore find myself somewhat conflicted about the aims of crypto overall. Plus there's a Q vibe to this whole thing, and naive thinking around what will actually happen should Wall Street collapse.
100% correct analysis, and if Wall Street dies, we'll all be in a world of hurt -- before WS is replaced with a crypto model.
ISO20022 certification is actually a messaging standard used by financial institutions of the world. It's not like a certification you earn as a developer.
Evergrande owns 90% of China's housing market. So when they are delisted from the stock market tomorrow (June 16), there is likely to be some serious shtuff hitting the fan.
A Q vibe, you say?

So essentially you're gambling that the the US stock market which is worth somewhere around 50 trillion dollars is going to collapse and you're going to get rich? You do realize that in this scenario it would mean the world would be ending and your coins would also be worthless?
The world will not be ending. This is simply a historic financial collapse.
What's coming is NESARA - National Economic Security and Reformation Act.
Print on the image is kind of small, so a few highlights:
Debt forgiveness - mortgages, credit cards, other bank debt wiped out
Abolishes IRS and income tax
New currency - backed by precious metals
Prices will be returning to 1955 levels. Life will be good.

Glad that my previous narrative was not misunderstood / taken the wrong way (as taunting). Like I wrote earlier in 2022, I swore off arguing on the internet as a resolution, and I'm sticking with that. It makes my headspace all that much more clear.
I am 50, and plan to retire at 60. I've done all of the squirreling away via 401k, as has been the norm, for many, many years. Simply put, I've had conventional employment, and (hopefully) have made all of the right moves -- so that I can retire in peace (early'ish), then start my own business and consult / do whatnot / totally realize my inner curmudgeon -- until they wheel me out feet first someday. How can crypto help in this regard? Is it incremental gains (and losses) like Wall Street? Or is it home run hitting? That's the part of the game that I don't understand. I say this as one who's just about done, and who is pretty much risk averse at this point in life.
I have tried to warn a few people about the coming collapse of the stock market. But I am not a financial advisor or economist, just a retired software engineer, so nobody listens. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether are doomed along with most other crypto. The only survivors will be those "coins" to be used in the quantum financial system, where ISO20022 certification is required.
There is a "***** hits the fan" event coming soon, perhaps this Thursday June 16 when Evergrande is removed from the stock market. When this happens, cryptos will take a quantum leap, in one direction or the other. Once things settle down, crypto trading should then be more of an incremental thing.
In your position, I would cash in a chunk of stock and buy XLM and XRP. Being risk averse, this is likely not an option.
Time will tell the rest of the story.

From my end of things, I'm not taunting you when I say that I have a lot of disbelief. This can also be said of electric cars, solar panel savings, and many other things.
While I wish you well (and I mean this!), at some point, given the electric cars and solar panel savings, it comes down to gain vs loss, so in that light -- I always want people to show me the baby. Would be great if you keep us posted, because should your theory about QFS be true, nobody here will lose out should Wall Street be replaced by crypto; there will be enough investments to go around, right?
I was not thinking of you as one of the taunters.
If you are currently invested in the stock market, you may well lose out. NYSE goes away. The new stock market will be a different entity.
I will keep you all posted as things develop.
I understand what you mean about disbelief. All my friends and family are disbelievers.

I wonder how
@Poleshifter is doing. In another thread about cryptocurrency he was very gung-ho about his financial outlook. He wrote:
"I expect to have millions of dollars by the end of the year. I had never expected to be rich, but then I happened into XRP and then XLM. I have about 40-45% of my net worth in crypto, and a similar % in precious metals too. I am just waiting for the big event to cash in some of it, keep most of it long-term."
Well, both XRP and XLM did a nosedive. Since last summer/fall, they lost 70% of their value. Silver (he referred to silver in another post) also lost 25% value in the last year.
Hey @DrW thanks for thinking of me! I am doing well, riding the crypto roller coaster.
I am periodically buying more XLM and swapping it for various tokens in the Stellar Network, which will be the new stock market. Soon the NYSE will be toast, and I have gathered millions of shares in hundreds of international companies.
I'm buying the dip, getting XLM for 11 cents today. I have traded some XLM into XRP as well. XRP @ 31 cents today is an amazing bargain.
Silver and gold are still hovering where they were 2 years ago, more or less. Once the QFS kicks in, they will skyrocket in value because the new "rainbow" currency will be backed by precious metals.
Some of you skeptics might want to take a shot - open a Coinbase account, spend $50 or $100 on XLM (aka Stellar Lumens). Open a Lobstr account and send the XLM to it. Trade some XLM for XRP and just see what happens. Or you can just taunt from the sidelines. Hey batta batta batta!
These are historic times we are living through right now.

Didn't the Bills trade that #10 pick to the Rams? Traded down to #13 and took EJ Manuel.
The extra 2nd round pick brought Robert Woods - or was it Kiko?

lifecoin
Or was he talking about Litecoin? Litecoin with a "T".
I never heard of the LIFE coin. Why would someone invest in LIFE coin?
The only coins which will survive the great shakeout will be those compliant with ISO 20022. That is, XRP, XLM, XDC, ALGO, IOTA, QNT, and a few more.
If you are still invested in Bitcoin/Ethereum, there is still time to repent.

Yep, theres a big sign off I-10 for Schobel's. Every time I drive past it I tell my wife how its connected to the Bills and say that one day we'll stop in for a bite but we both know thats a lie.
I stopped at the Schobel family restaurant on NFL opening day in 2002. I expected to see the game on TV there. But there was no trace of the NFL.
This was even the opening day for the new Houston Texans franchise. Again, nothing.
The Schobel family must stay home on Sundays and watch the games. Seemed weird to me.

What a pleasure to listen to Brandon Beane talking about the draft.
What a great thing to have this guy as our Bills' GM! After 20 years of sub-par GMs, we finally have the best GM!
Thank you for posting this video.

I'd forgotten about him, but when I think 4th round Jeff Yeates always comes to mind. He's someone 98% of the people here likely have never heard of. He was a decent d-lineman in the 70's that I remember built swimming pools in the off season. Football careers have changed a bit since then.
Funny you should mention Jeff Yeates. I just read his story in the Cardinal O'Hara HS newsletter.
The Bills released him in his 3rd or 4th year, and he went on to greater success with Atlanta's Grits Blitz defense for about 8 more years.

Nice thoughts, Hondo. So true.
Isn't it nice to watch the draft come and go, and never need to worry about getting a QB? Just some upgrades to the supporting cast.
Blessed at long last.
Happy Easter to those who believe.

There are dispensaries now where you can buy weed safely and legally.
I found one out in Gowanda (https://goodleaf716.com/), which will suffice until something closer to home pops up.
It's a great option compared with buying from some guy on the street.
