What could go wrong?

Moving this out of this forum, because more then likely this will swirl itself right into the shitter as a topic. And because we don't have time to babysit non-football related issues. 

Add another thing to the list of things I don’t understand.  😂

Yes, it’s an extensive list.

Why is Bitcoin so controversial? 

Fake news.

I think a lot of people still view crypto as a grift, which I think it certainly can be. The concept is not IMO and certainly blockchain could be game-changing technology, but it all seems very volatile. My understanding is that Rodgers and others aren’t technically paid in Bitcoin, the team send a portion of his salary to a 3rd party that converts the money into bitcoin. I think that’s right? Just like a lot of things, when you have hundreds of millions of dollars Bitcoin seems like a great idea and investment.

Everything is hackable.

So they're asking the team to do the investing for them?  Seems rather pointless.

Definitely volatile but Bitcoin isn't going to disappear off the map anytime soon.  Too many corporations already buying in.  Just a matter of time before it's regulated, which goes against the very principle, but it'll happen.   

Yeah, the only way the Packers could pay players in Bitcoin would be to have a large stake in it to work with. Which wouldn't be the worst idea ever as long as you have someone capable managing it.

@Boris check that Bitcoin for Rona!
