Top-10 UFC flyweight fighter Matheus Nicolau says he has signed a contract to be paid entirely in Bitcoin to secure his future financially.
Nicolau, who lives in Brazil but accepts a paycheck from the U.S., signed the contract on March 21 and is the first Latin American UFC athlete to take a paycheck in bitcoin.
AARON RODGERS, SERENA WILLIAMS, ODELL BECKHAM JR. TALK BITCOIN AT CONFERENCE: ‘I’M BETTING BIG ON CRYPTO' Nicolau says he is "putting everything in Bitcoin" after learning about the world's most popular cryptocurrency a couple of years ago. The moments when Bitcoin "goes down a little bit is an opportunity to put more money into Bitcoin," the UFC fighter said when asked whether he was concerned about the volatility of the cryptocurrency, which was valued at around $42,800 as of Friday afternoon."I really believe in Bitcoin," he said.
And it's not just athletes. Bitwage works with retail workers, rideshare drivers, city workers, services companies and more.
