“Bitcoin is hope, and it is traveling, and people are becoming aware of it…I’m ready to do this and I don’t really view this as a risky thing.”
— Sean Culkin

Location: Remotely
Date: Monday 3rd May
Company: Kansas City Chiefs
Role: Tight End

Sean Culkin rocked the sports world with his recent announcement that he is taking 100% of his $920K salary in bitcoin. Sean is not the first NFL player to dive into bitcoin, but he is the first to take his entire salary in bitcoin in a truly trailblazing move.

Sean argues that athletes now need to "view themselves as corporations", and with many corporations now using Bitcoin as an inflation hedge, why should athletes be any different? Microstrategy CEO Michael Saylor described his cash position as being like a '$500m melting ice cube' when he led the charge.

In this interview, we discuss his journey to the NFL, taking his entire $920K salary in bitcoin and where his conviction comes from.
