UFC fighter will receive earnings in Bitcoin from now on

 


Matheus Nicolau, the eighth-ranked UFC flyweight fighter, has signed an agreement to receive his future earnings in Bitcoin through payroll service Bitwage, CryptoAdvisor learned in a press release.


The contract, signed on March 21, makes him the first Latin American UFC athlete to receive a paycheck in bitcoin.


The crypto market has seen explosive growth in South America

Originally from Brazil, Nicolau is aware of the importance of Bitcoin. In South America, the market has exploded over the past two years as a result of inflation and other economic pressures.


Nicolau shared:


I'm thrilled to receive my earnings in Bitcoin. As an athlete, I work hard to earn a living, but with rising inflation, I worry that all that hard work is going to waste. By using Bitwage to earn bitcoin, I know I am safeguarding the value of my work.


Nicolaus Manager Vinícius Las Casas added:


We are very bullish on bitcoin. We want to spread the bitcoin gospel with this latest deal.


The largest payroll company in the bitcoin space in the world

Las Casas will also receive a portion of its earnings in bitcoin through Bitwage, the largest payroll, benefits and billing company in the bitcoin space. Bitwage allows people and businesses around the world to receive their monthly wages in Bitcoin.


They are a pioneer in the industry with their Lightning Payroll products and Bitcoin 401k.


Bitwage CEO Jonathan Chester commented:


Working with Matheus has been a rewarding experience for us. He's an amazing fighter with a champion mentality.


Nicolau follows in the footsteps of professional soccer players Achara Ifunanyachi and Alex Crognale, who similarly collaborated with Bitwage last year.


Some of the UFC's most renowned fighters have left the organization or opted for high-paying crossover boxing opportunities. Fighters can be paid in bitcoin via Bitwage without having to take the UFC on board the service. They can have peace of mind knowing their Bitcoin savings are safe and have the time and energy to focus on training.


Bitwage's services have gone mainstream

Anyone can use Bitwage's services. You register with the platform, get a bank account number and choose how much of your salary or wages you want to receive in bitcoin. Finally, inform your employer of the new account number.


At the moment, Nicolau is enjoying a four-fight win streak. He meets David Dvorak on March 26 in Columbus, Ohio.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing.

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne
