Aaron Rodgers Announces He'll Be Taking Some of His Salary in Bitcoin

"Bitcoin: To the moon."

In a video announcement shared on his Twitter page on Monday, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers began his address with that popular rallying cry before revealing he has teamed up with Cash App to have a portion of his salary paid to him in Bitcoin, while also using the mobile payment service to give away $1 million in Bitcoin to his fans.

Rodgers made the announcement while still donning his John Wick-inspired Halloween costume, which he spent the past year growing his hair out for.

Rodgers is not the first NFL player to embrace the popular cryptocurrency in this way.
