拉塞尔·奥孔（Russell Okung）在比特币赌注获得回报后看起来像个天才

早在 2020 年，比特币的价格约为 27,000 美元。快进到 2024 年 11 月大选后，这一数字接近 90,000 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，比特币的价格约为 27,000 美元。现在，2024 年 11 月大选后，这一数字接近 90,000 美元。这对于现已退役的卡罗莱纳黑豹队进攻截锋拉塞尔·奥孔来说是个好消息。

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 历史上第一位以比特币支付工资的球员，早在 2020 年，他选择将 1300 万美元工资的一半兑换成加密货币。

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.

这 650 万美元被兑换成 240 个比特币。截至撰写本文时，对于 36 岁的 Okung 来说，这些比特币价值近 2100 万美元，因为美国总统大选后比特币价格飙升。

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.

对于奥孔来说，这是明智的选择，他在 2010 年 NFL 选秀中以第 6 顺位被西雅图海鹰队选中。他还曾效力于丹佛野马队和洛杉矶闪电队。他是两届职业保龄球手和 2013 年超级碗冠军。 2023年6月6日，奥孔宣布从职业足坛退役。

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

Okung 周二谈论了比特币以及他喜爱比特币的原因：

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

未来不在于他们的体系，未来不在于他们的货币

Okung certainly looks like he can predict the future.

奥孔看起来确实可以预测未来。

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.

虽然他的比特币正在压垮它，但他以前的团队肯定不会。黑豹队目前战绩为 3 胜 7 负，在国联南部区垫底。 Okung 看起来从 NFL 退役是一个正确的决定，他可以坐下来看着他的比特币在加密货币排行榜上排名第一。
