Cryptocurrencies attract many people from a wide variety of industries, and NBA players seem to have topped the list. They not only accept payments in bitcoins, but they are also involved in the creation of NFTs.
More recently, two players from the Golden State Warriors announced that they will receive their salaries in bitcoins. This idea was taken up by the players Clay Thompson and Andre Iguodala, who will also receive part of the next salary in bitcoins. In addition, both athletes will donate $ 1 million in BTC.
To do this, NBA players began to cooperate with the Cash App mobile payment service:
… I’m happy to receive a portion of my salary in bitcoins thanks to the Cash App! I am for bitcoin because I believe that this is the future of money. Plus, I’ll be giving away $ 1M in Bitcoin with Andre NOW. Just sign up for CashApp + place a cashtag PaidInBitcoin.
I’m BACK and changing it up: excited to take part of my paycheck in bitcoin thanks to Cash App! I’m with bitcoin because I believe it’s the future of money 🌚 Plus I’m giving out $1M in btc with @andre right NOW. Just follow @CashApp + drop your $cashtag below w/ #PaidInBitcoin pic.twitter.com/bUYC6SxkMj

NBA giant Sacramento Kings wowed the public with the team owner’s announcement that all players would be paid BTC. Earlier, Detroit Pistons’ Cade Cunningham partnered with BlockFi to claim his Bitcoin bonus.
Not long ago, Mark Cuban encouraged his Dallas Mavericks team to integrate Dogecoin along with Bitcoin to pay for goods and tickets.
Interestingly, athletes are not afraid of the volatility of bitcoin, the price of which has shown a decline since November last year. On the evening of January 11, Bitcoin was trading at $ 42,900.
