Brazilian UFC fighter Renato Moicano, following his thrilling win at UFC 300, has the community excited by asking for a $300,000 bonus in Bitcoin (BTC). His request aroused the interest of investors and crypto enthusiasts.
Opponent Received Bonus
While Moicano was the center of attention for his bid, Max Holloway received a $300,000 bonus after his impressive fight with Justin Gaethier. Despite the missed opportunity, Moicano emphasized that he believes the bonus is well-deserved for Holloway.
After his fight, Moicano gave an unusual speech, emphasizing his love of America, the Constitution and economic principles. He encouraged everyone interested to read the works of Ludwig von Mises, expressing their support for his ideas.
Bitcoin and Economics
Bitcoin, often associated with the Austrian school of economics, represents a potential solution to problems of inflation and financial instability. Moicano, by calling for the bonus to be paid out in BTC, emphasizes his belief in cryptocurrency as a form of money.
Despite Bitcoin's support, there are problems such as high network fees that the cryptocurrency faces. However, Bitcoin enthusiasts like Moicano continue to support the idea of cryptocurrency as an alternative form of money.
The question remains whether the UFC will follow suit and pay out bonuses in Bitcoin. The decision could have an impact on the future of cryptocurrency adoption in the sports world.
