Following the day the Tesla founder, Elon Musk, added the Bitcoin hashtag to his Twitter profile, the popular Carolina Panthers offensive tackle, Russell Okung told his social media followers to put the Bitcoin hashtag in their bio. Okung has managed to get hundreds of people to do it, but more recently the NFL player started a decent train of celebrities with very large Twitter follower counts to join the bandwagon too.
Russell Okung: âPlant the Flag to Declare Youâre Ready for the Futureâ
Last week, Elon Musk put the Bitcoin hashtag in his Twitter bio, and after he did that, the price of bitcoin (BTC) coincidently saw significant gains. Musk also tweeted, âIn retrospect, it was inevitable,â and a great number of crypto supporters celebrated the Tesla founderâs social media teases. After Musk did this on Twitter, the NFL player who plays offensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers, Russell Okung told his Twitter followers to follow Muskâs recent move.
âEveryone put #Bitcoin in your bio,â Okung tweeted. âPlant the flag to declare youâre ready for the future. Send me a screenshot so I know itâs real,â the football player wrote. The football player is also well known for recently telling the world that he chose to take half of his U.S. 13 million-dollar NFL salary in bitcoin payments.
âGetting paid in bitcoin is the first step of opting out of the corrupt, manipulated economy we all inhabit,â Okung explained at the time.

Famous Celebs Join the Bitcoin Hashtag Trend
Furthermore, Okung managed to get a great number of celebrity names to participate in the Bitcoin hashtag bio trend as well. Okung has also been tweeting about some of the well known celebs joining in on planting the Bitcoin hashtag flag in their Twitter bios.
Some of the individuals included the spiritual guru Sofia Hayat, Westbrook Mediaâs Brad Haugen, Mr Beast, the singer Joy Villa, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, Skybridge Capitalâs Anthony Scaramucci, and many more. Every one of the celebs has well over 100k Twitter followers or a whole lot more. âSalute to those building a decentralized future.â
Okung further tweeted on Saturday. âThe message is clear: Weâre not here to play a part, weâre here to take over,â the Carolina Panthers offensive tackle added. The following day, Okung also tweeted a disdainful message toward the âGreat Resetâ agenda.
âYou will own nothing, and you will be happy,â Okung tweeted referring to the November 2016 World Economic Forum (WEF) tweet that originally stems from a prediction made by a member of Danish parliament, Ida Auken. âNow translated as: âWe will own everything, and you will let us,ââ the NFL player Okung said on Sunday morning.
