I'm assuming that the main reason Messi's salary is paid this way is for tax purposes (maybe it doesn't count as a "salary" or other weird reason).
My guess is PSG added it as a rider above and beyond his actual, agreed upon salary
purely for pump & dump purposesas a promotional thing.

@DogsB wow, such scam!
Baby Doge seeks to impress his father by showing his new improved transaction speeds & adorableness. He is Hyper-deflationary with static reflection that rewards holders, so more baby doge coins are being automatically added to your wallet each transaction. Simply Love, pet, and hold as 5% from each transaction is automatically redistributed to baby doge holders.
Much pyramid!

Baby Doge was alleged as saying in A fool and his not-really-money are soon parted:
is Hyper-deflationary
Oh okay, so they do actually admit this. That always baffled me about the gold people, that inflation is teh evulzz!!! and so apparently massive deflation is… just lovely?
I wonder if they actually see any concrete benefit to deflation beyond “well it’s not inflation!”

I guess it benefits the people who already have. Money (or in this case, "money") becomes more valuable, so the people who already have the "money" gain value, while it becomes harder for those who don't have to get into the game. I guess if I were one of the
scammers running the gameearly investors in the cryptocurrency du jour, I'd consider that a benefit.

@TimeBandit well, running it straight from the well reduces grid impact and cuts that loss. So being total assholes was an improvement, in a way.

@TimeBandit I'd really love for Quantum Computing to become a thing if only for the singular reason of making any and all crypto currency completely useless overnight.

Well, that too. But let's push that uselessness into the negative!

Right, but selling something that obviously doesn't exist as a prank on art buyers is exactly the kind of thing he would do.

I'm actually fascinated to watch how this plays out. But I'm a bit skeptical about stuff like this:
The Salvadorian government hopes it will boost financial inclusion in a country where around 70% of citizens do not have access to traditional financial services, according to the bitcoin law.
Seems like it would be a lot easier to get them into more traditional banking than getting them on bitcoin, but stupider bitcoin things have happened.
“I think the main use in El Salvador is really going to be around remittances and people using it to save some wealth and really perhaps just to be some competition to the dollar in the country.”
That seems more likely.

Ouch. That's going to hurt those people more than people who can actually afford to waste skittles money.

Angry protests, technological glitches and a plummet in value marked the first day of El Salvador adopting Bitcoin as legal tender.
The price of Bitcoin on Tuesday crashed to its lowest in nearly a month, falling from $52,000 (£37,730) to under $43,000 at one point.
An opposition politician said the fall caused one of Latin America's poorest countries to lose $3m.
