Sean Culkin, Latest NFL Player to Announce Bitcoin Salary, Cut From Chiefs

Culkin was seeking to one up Russell Okung, the offensive tackle who started converting half his salary into bitcoin starting late last year. Okung's contract was for $13 million; Culkin's was set for $920,000.
The news of Culkin's dismissal comes on the day quarterback Tom Brady added laser eyes to his Twitter bio, a move that sent observers into a tizzy over whether the legend was also stocking up on BTC.
From everything I’ve read about Tom Brady’s lifestyle regimen, it’s no surprise he chooses #Bitcoin to store his wealth. His mentality is to optimize.

A call to Culkin's agent was not immediately returned.
