I had a feeling that was going to be his answer, especially after he said he had "pages."

Rovell's Civil Rights collection piece financially bolstered if not an outright white supremacist, someone friendly enough with it that they weren't squicked out by making money off of it.

Wouldn't be shocked if before Rovell got it in an auction, the Parks NAACP card was initially obtained because it had been confiscated somewhere. Or stolen.

He doesn't care. I don't think Rovell is even one of those guys who likes Capitalism that much, he just operates on a whole different frequency from normal humanity.

This ... y'all it might be even worse.

It's not completely proven yet, but some evidence has popped up that Rovell bought the pages for $130K last year. And then bragged that he'd be able to sell it for millions within a few years.

Fast forward a month and Rovell announces that he's just sold an NFT of Emmett Till in his casket.

I wonder if Rovell's thinking he could turn those pages into NFTs. Someone just bought an original Dune thinking they could do the same because buying a book also somehow means buying its rights.

I assumed anyone that publicly takes their salary in Bitcoin is being paid to do so as a promo, is that not the case?

Eric Adams made a big deal out of taking his 3 paychecks in Bitcoin but apparently he just takes his regular check and buys some amount of Bitcoin with it, and could just as easily be lying about the whole thing.

This is the thing, I don’t think many companies outside of Silicon Valley are even set up for that. I just assume these guys are “taking their salary in Bitcoin”, pocketing the promo money then converting their Bitcoin back (if they even bother) into something they can pay a mortgage with

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

There’s functionally no difference between someone being paid and Bitcoin and someone just taking their paycheck and immediately buying Bitcoin with it. I guess aside from however long it takes for someone to convert cash to Bitcoin.

I sure hope OBJ got a sponsorship for the Bitcoin thing. Even just buying Bitcoin means you’re making less after you pay for all of the fees.

Someone find out how El Salvador is doing today. Hope their president didn’t plunge too much of their treasury into it.

There is a big difference because the whole point is to legitimize Bitcoin as legal tender.
