Will we ever see players transfer paid with bitcoin ??!

Guys! It happened yesterday! Here is the link:

Omer Faruk Kiroglu transfer is the first in history paid with bitcoin!

Can't understand the link and I don't know on who are those people out there. But my guess that this news is all about the "first transfer of bitcoin". Nothing as usual, they want only to document the first transfer and nothing will add to the discussion but if someone can translate it that will be better and will be an enlightenment.

Don't you know how to use google translate? In short, club Harunustaspor from Turkey bought player Omer Faruk Kiroglu for 0.0524 BTC. The club which sold him, hopes BTC will continue to rise.

Sounds too cheap but its a good thing that they are already recognizing bitcoin which can really be used on paying some players.It is really possible which i have read off on the link been given.If this adoption or thing be recognized even more then demand will surely uprise and would somehow add up on the awareness of bitcoins usage on any industry.

I know but I'm not comfortable using google translate, I did some before but its not accurate by that moment when I'm trying to translate something. Well if that's the news all about that's a good adopt but with the current price of bitcoin at $8,500 * 0.0524 BTC = $445.4

Sounds too cheap but its a good thing that they are already recognizing bitcoin which can really be used on paying some players.

That's what I noticed but the adoption is what matters most this will start all bitcoin payments through the entire sports community.

Already happened even though it was with a Turkish Amateur League side, coz of the club of their stature maybe most will not take them very serious, but it is a start of something. Also, Arsenal have just recently signed a partnership deal with a US cryptocurrency firm - CashBet. So the more football clubs start having some sort of relation with Cryptos, and their finance department understand it better, we could see such activities grow in the next couple of transfer markets.

Why would you say in 3rd world countries? I think it's because bitcoin there is really beneficial and it would be soon to take over there with money. In Zimbabwe, I think they have some kind of currency there or I don't know if they use bitcoin already but it helps them.

It already happened, read posts above.

Recently one of the football club started to pay its players with bitcoin. Maybe this could be a good start for more similar clubs to follow it. Recently saw an ico related to sports and more sporting personalities being a part of the community as well the development team. This shows the involvement of players into cryptocurrency.

I really feel that dealing with bitcoin in players transfert is a good idea bceause now the market prices are so high and we really need another kind of payment to make it easy. Bitcoin can resolve the problem and help investator to make an easier work.

I disagree. If Bitcoin would be used as a mean of payment for football transfers it would destroy football.

Maybe, why not? As long as it is not banned in that region or by FIFA, then I think it is okay! However some players for example in China will never get paid in bitcoin because it is already banned as well as the other countries that banned it. Also, if they are going to pay them with bitcoin, then I believe the price will be high because players get high payment. It is just a matter of time until bitcoin is recognized worldwide.

Maybe it could happen, but not for now because the price of Bitcoin is currently churning. That's not impossible because I think there are companies that transfers their money, invest their money, and manage their money with Bitcoin because maybe they feel that it's easier. Unlike the transfer in the bank use the regular currency. In the bank there are many boundaries that Bitcoin does not have. For example, like the limit of money transferred at certain hours and in one day, age to transfer and have a bank account, and if you transfer money in a very large and unusual amount, you will surely be suspected.

Yes that can be, in fact in different places people have to face different condition, in japan bitcoin is legal and they will like to be paid in bitcoin, while in china they may not be welling to be paid in bitcoin, because they may be facing problems while converting their bitcoins in to fiat currency in their local area.

That is sort of funny because being paid in bitcoin would mean their pay could either increase of decrease.
But a player did accept it in Turkey as the link has shown clearly enough.

There is a player in the NFL (that is the American Football league for those not familiar with what it is, it is in the States) that is quite into bitcoin and even started accepting it for merch and promoting an exchange called Cobinhood.

Quite interesting indeed: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/02/richard-sherman-nfl-players-are-curious-about-bitcoin.html
Cause if bitcoin does reach it's forecasted potential as most predict it reaching $50k later on this year, then you could expect him being the first to accept being paid by his football organization. And maybe some to follow suit.
Why knows, because bitcoin's value is really up in the air at this point and time very much so being sub $8k now.

I think bitcoin isn’t a thing which should be banned because there is nothing bad in using bitcoin as a digital currency. Also bitcoin is very helpful to deal with transactions related to online procedures. Bitcoin popularity is increasing day by day and I think that the time will soon come in our lives when we will see player’s transfers paid in bitcoins as the world is becoming more modern and digitalized day by day. Bitcoin has made it place in trading also so easy to see its use in football.
