The Smart Policeman
Back in 2013, not many people knew about Bitcoin, but this was not the case with Tony Vaughn, a policeman from Kentucky, who asked the officials to convert his whole salary into Bitcoin and receive it in cryptocurrency. What a bold move!
The officials did their research and didn’t find the officer’s request too weird, so Mr Vaughn started getting his salary in Bitcoin. With an average yearly salary of a policeman in Kentucky being around $54,000, we can only imagine how many Bitcoins he managed to gather in savings.
And with a thought process like that, we imagine he did save more than enough to support himself for decades! Back then 1 Bitcoin was worth $1,000 and now it’s $17,226. We can all do the math here and appreciate the brilliant mind of Tony Vaughn.
