Can you imagine getting paid 30 BTC per month as a salary?
Take a second and think about it.
Today that would be about $2.3 million.
It sounds crazy now.
But something very similar actually happened.
Back in 2013, when Bitcoin was trading around $100, a few companies experimented with paying employees in BTC. At the time it didn’t feel extraordinary. Bitcoin was still a strange internet experiment and very few people believed it could become what it is today.
A normal monthly salary of around $3,000 could easily be paid in roughly 30 BTC.
Back then it was just another paycheck.
Today those same 30 BTC would be worth more than $2 million.
And this is one of the strange things about Bitcoin’s early years.
Some people really did receive payments and salaries in BTC.
But very few managed to keep those coins.
Most sold them long before the real explosion happened.
Because in crypto, the hardest part has never been buying Bitcoin.
It has always been holding it long enough.
