can this be leveraged into salary-cap shenanigans? Given the Panthers actually went ahead with this I'd assume most definitely since bitcoin may as well be invisible money and all that counts is the 6.5mil in cap. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://media.giphy.com/media/WvQHBYW0q4TuxdAg61/giphy.gif https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 ...

Not accurate, an NFL spokesperson tells me, adding that his people are converting some of the money into bitcoin after he gets paid in US dollars, just like every other NFL player. Okungs own team, the Carolina Panthers, also confirmed to The Verge that teams pay their players in US dollars. By that standard, anyone can get their salary paid in bitcoin anytime they want: just go buy some bitcoin with your salary after it arrives, which is probably what the company that Okung is pumping Zap is hoping youll do when you see hes repping it online. Its not clear why Okung chose this particular startup to convert his paycheck (it does accept direct deposit), or why hes tweeted fourteen times this afternoon encouraging his followers to hop on board the bitcoin and Zap train. He doesnt disclose any kind of relationship with Zap on Twitter, although Zap founder Jack Mallers does call him a friend. (Mallers didnt respond to repeated requests for comment.) --- ...
