Good news, today cryptocurrency reached Olympic games industry!

Speed skater Ted-Jan Bloemen gets paid in cryptocurrency

I hope that it is truth

At present there a lot of fake news and it is hard to understand what is real some times..but anyway it is good

He's about to be paid and so, he's not paid yet. And it's not clear what specific coin in the 300 million coins ONG Social has mined Bloemen would receive.

Canadian speed skater Ted-Jan Bloemen recently became the first athlete to be paid in virtual money when he struck a one-year sponsorship deal with ONG Social, a social network and crypto community, and CEEK VR, a developer of virtual reality experiences.

According to Kgazette.com, ONG Social has mined 300 million coins, worth a total of $138.69 million. The cryptocurrency was founded in June.
Although it's not known how many coins Bloemen stands to receive, he told Canada's National Post that the deal was "a minimum amount in cash, but most in cryptocurrencies."
