A former Real Madrid Player by name David Barral has been recorded as the first player to be bought using cryptocurrency! This is the adoption! No one loves to hear this like me. I'm really pleased to see how far Bitcoin has come. And I'm sure that this year has a lot in place for Bitcoin.

Nice story... but a double edge sword:

(1) Football / soccer is famously corrupt. It is not a business for nice guys.
(2) But...the fans are heavily into sports gambling, so Bitcoin will be a natural progression.

Yes I saw it! I think it's great for the reputation of Bitcoin, I'm sure this has led to new people who began to interest in Bitcoin now.
