Tagoa'i is a four-star prospect and 247Sports' No. 87 overall prospect in the Class of 2025. He is the No. 5 linebacker in the nation and the No. 7 player from the state of California.

In a statement, Tagoa'i called the decision "a game-changer" that will set himself up for long-term financial growth. He said that he hopes to set an example for other athletes thinking about their financial future.

“This is a game-changer for me,” Tagoa’i said, via On3. “By taking part of my NIL earnings in Bitcoin, I’m setting myself up for long-term financial growth. I’m grateful to Strike, House of Victory and 3Point0 Labs for helping me take this step. I’m proud to be part of this innovative collaboration that’s redefining the future of college athletics and finance and hope to set an example for other young athletes to think about their financial future.”

None. It just makes him feel better to get it in Bitcoin. It's no different than getting paid in stocks. You either get cash and buy the stocks or you get the stock equal to the cash value of the deal. Same with Bitcoin. If it was 10 years ago and he was at the forefront of the virtual currency push, then that's a different story. Now, not so much.

It shows the uninformed public that there's viable day to day use case for decentralized currencies that skip middle entities like banks and governments.
