Unbelievably proud and humbled to have helped @RussellOkung achieve his goal of getting paid in #Bitcoin with @ln_strike.

Russel is a leader. Getting #Bitcoin in exchange for your labor is much more than meets the eye.

He is setting that example on a big stage. https://twitter.com/CoinDesk/status/1343920434639761408
Russel risks his body and health every week to provide for his family.

With the current asset inflation here in the US, Russel will lose ~50% of his earned wealth over the next 5 years if held in USD.

It's unfair to ask him to put his health on the line in exchange for dollars.
What can he do? Get his paycheck in real estate? Ask the @Panthers to drop off Gold bars at his house?

No.
@RussellOkung knows Bitcoin is engineered to be the world's premier store of value.

The first natively digital programmable money, making it easy to build on top of, and do things like seamlessly receive a % of your paycheck in #Bitcoin via an app.
This marks a critical point in history where a human we all watch every Sunday, who risks his health to perform labor on the field, opts to receive his hard work in #Bitcoin .

Money with defined scarcity and fixed supply.

A network and monetary policy he can audit and trust.
I'm proud to be able to call @RussellOkung my friend. He will be looked back in history favorably for so many reasons. A true leader who has no fear of standing for what he believes in. A deserving role model to so many around the world.
I'm so proud of the team @ln_strike. We work for #Bitcoin .

Strike will (very soon) be launching around the world, onboarding merchants, and now a payday product for consumers.

This team is amazing and I'm lucky to be able to spend so much time with such a talented group.
The product Russ is using today will be available for everyone who has @ln_strike here in the US, with plans to bring it to the other countries we will be coming to in the coming weeks/months.

You can sign up for early access at http://payday.strike.me 
You'll hear more from me soon.

To be exact, a week from tomorrow 😉🔥🚀 https://twitter.com/JackMallers/status/1331661579033702406
