Quick question that I am unclear on with Bitcoin. I am sure he like other players gets paid every game, so when did Bitcoin start it's decline and if his salary was $200K per game (just using round numbers for ease of discussion) would he not have been paid "x" Bitcoins each week, which would fluctuate with the value of the coin in comparison to real money. i.e., first week $200K = 3.08 Bitcoins ($65K per coin). Then when the price has dropped wouldn't he get equivalent again in week 8 $200K = 5.71 Bitcoins ($35K per coin).

I guess if he is getting all the money up front then he loses a lot of Bitcoins but if he is buying weekly then it changes. Hopefully someone can clarify this as I don't really understand the whole Bitcoin business (Old Bastard that I am).
