NFL backup Matt Barkley digs Bitcoin (3/6)

NFL QB Matt Barkley, the pride of USC attempted to negotiate his contract be paid entirely in Bitcoin back in 2019.

At the time he was negotiating with both the 49ers and the Bengals for a contract and threw a hail marry (heh) in asking to be paid in Bitcoin. Unfortunately, they said, “no” and Matt ended up accepting a boring old fiat contract (yawn). We can’t blame you Matt, let’s just hope you used some of your signing bonus to convert to a few moonshots.
