maybe now it looks like; too bad, but the money worked for what he needed it for, it was his salary, it wasn't extra money, whatever, it's happening right now someone is selling a bitcoin that will be worth 10 or 20 times more in the future.
Based on this article
Police Chief Tony Vaughn, who said he will donate his salary to a Vicco Bitcoin account, appeared before the commission last month to request getting his paycheck converted to Bitcoins..
So he is not the one who's actually benefitting from his Bitcoin salary and besides he doesn't need that salary from that job since he owns real estate and does not work to make a living it's the town that's really benefiting from that salary.
