拉塞爾·奧孔（Russell Okung）在比特幣賭注獲得回報後看起來像個天才

早在 2020 年，比特幣的價格約為 27,000 美元。快進到 2024 年 11 月大選後，這一數字接近 9 萬美元。

Back in 2020, the price of bitcoin was roughly $27,000. Now, post-election November of 2024, it’s sitting at nearly $90,000. That’s great news for now retired Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Russell Okung.

早在 2020 年，比特幣的價格約為 27,000 美元。現在，2024 年 11 月大選後，這一數字接近 9 萬美元。這對現已退休的卡羅萊納黑豹隊進攻截鋒拉塞爾·奧孔來說是個好消息。

Okung was the first player in NFL history to be paid in bitcoin back in 2020 when he opted to have half his $13 million salary converted into the crypto coin.

Okung 是 NFL 歷史上第一位以比特幣支付工資的球員，早在 2020 年，他選擇將 1,300 萬美元工資的一半兌換成加密貨幣。

That $6.5 million was converted into 240 bitcoins. As of this writing, that many bitcoins is worth nearly $21 million for 36-year-old Okung as the price of bitcoin has surged in the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election.

這 650 萬美元被兌換成 240 個比特幣。截至撰寫本文時，對於 36 歲的 Okung 來說，這些比特幣價值近 2,100 萬美元，因為美國總統大選後比特幣價格飆升。

Smart choice for Okung, who was selected with the No. 6 pick in the 2010 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. He also played for the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers. He is a two-time Pro Bowler and 2013 Super Bowl champion. On June 6, 2023, Okung announced his retirement from professional football.

對於奧孔來說，這是明智的選擇，他在 2010 年 NFL 選秀中以第 6 順位被西雅圖海鷹隊選中。他也曾效力於丹佛野馬隊和洛杉磯閃電隊。他是兩屆職業保齡球手和 2013 年超級碗冠軍。 2023年6月6日，奧孔宣布從職業足壇退休。

Here’s Okung talking on Tuesday about bitcoin and the reason he loves it:

Okung 週二談論了比特幣以及他喜愛比特幣的原因：

the future isn't in their system, the future is not in their currency

未來不在於他們的體系，未來不在於他們的貨幣

Okung certainly looks like he can predict the future.

奧孔看起來確實可以預測未來。

While his bitcoin is crushing it, his former team certainly isn’t. The Panthers sit at 3-7 and at the bottom of the NFC South. Okung looks like he made the right decision to retire from the NFL where he can sit back and watch his bitcoin in first place in the crypto standings.

雖然他的比特幣正在壓垮它，但他以前的團隊肯定不會。黑豹隊目前戰績為 3 勝 7 負，在國聯南部區墊底。 Okung 看起來從 NFL 退休是一個正確的決定，他可以坐下來看著他的比特幣在加密貨幣排行榜上排名第一。
