The current price of Bitcoin is $23,007.21, down 0.08% over the past 24 hours [1]. This digital asset has seen a remarkable 9,000,000% return over the past decade, though it&#039;s been in a bear market over the past year [2]. Seven professional athletes, including Odell Beckham Jr., have announced that they will receive some or all of their salaries in Bitcoin [3].
