That's a first in football I believe?
A Serie C club (Rimini), Italian 3rd league, will have 25% of its shares sold in the form of a cryptocurrency transaction, following partnership with Quantocoin. Never heard about this Quantacoin before but a look on their website https://quantocoin.io and it looks quite promising.

Really ?. If this information is true I think it's very good news for holder Crypto. It show us the recognition for Crypto in Italy.
I hope the government in other countries will completely make laws and accept Crypto.

Not the first actually. There are already facts about selling tickets (for crypto) to the football matches with help of blockchain and some other examples around football especially.
It looks mostly not like something good for crypto community but rather for a 3rd league football team as it will bring more attention to them because of crypto hype.

This is quite exciting and I must say it is the first time of hearing such info. With beautiful good news of such, Bitcoin and the blockchain technology is gradually moving towards the promised land.

I always love reading news like this, I mean in the grand scale of things it might not mean much, but it's certainly very good publicity.
Seems like this was actually done as a publicity stunt. Do you happen to have an article in english as well?

lol i doubt a soccer team has any value at all. they must have done that just symbolic to try to say everyone its valuable,

soccer teams arent valuable anymore, they are more a liability especially in a time in which, the national currencies collapse, into neocommunist banking cartels.

Very interesting.. but not surprising. Cryptocurrency adoption is rising at formidable rates. I expect more and more of this kind of big transactions happening in the future. Heck.. I've paid for some speakers and cables with bitcoin just a few days ago. Crypto ERA is coming!!  

[Windmoney@1]

Wow..  Cryptocurrency is really a great asset to hold and I want you to believe  me... We are expecting more and more of this to happen  because  cryptocurrency is taking  a lead and I can proudly say cryptocurrency will change to financial asset
As a result of mass adoption...if a football club can be bought with cryptocurrency then you need to understand that fact that more of this is expecting to happen very soon... Now with cryptocurrency you can buy goods and services and sum are considering is as asset 

[bitfocus741]

This is indeed a great news for us. It just shows that the uses of crypto are endless. And this is a good thing that more and more firms and organizations are now being open to receive payments in crypto. From buying phones to a football team, crypto is really having a wide reach.

[EveningGull]

Italy has been one of the pioneers of cryptocurrency adoption. I guess this type of news might affect other football clubs to consider accepting crypto too. Maybe someday we'll see its use in other sports too as well as sports betting. Cryptocurrency is getting mass adoption and awareness which is a good thing for all crypto enthusiast out there.

[boltz]

I like what happens when bitcoin starts to spread more and more with each day and month and a news like this is great. I also saw in La Liga a huge ad to a new sport-casino and let's not forget when dogecoin sponsored a car in nascar and it was great so cryptos have a history with sports.

I don't know much about quantoo, and I don't know what your goal is to provide information, or want a promotion
but, if cryptocurrency really wants to be more famous, the management of the Serie A club, can adopt cryptocurrency as a ticket payment tool, so here the role of cryptocurrency will be more useful for the general public

[BlueBruiser]

There are various other exciting news like this in the recent days and these just keeps getting better and better. Italy is one of the country that has adopted cryptocurrency in a large scale. There are places in Italy that accepts bitcoin as a mode of transactions and it’s a paradise for crypto users. Guess we'll see more countries adopting it soon.

[mitchr4]

Like Alessandro Del Piero, I saw he also helped promote one of the token projects. In addition to promoting the project, he could also use cryptocurrency. Famous people have a good impact on cryptocurrency known to many people.

[geminiboy]

this is a hope that people who are engaged in the world of crypto, maybe it will develop crypto in their country in a way that is quite genius, football club is one of the popular sports fields in Italy, so an idea like this emerges.

[vit05]

This is money laundering. It does not make any sense this operation with an unknown project that is still in the ICO. And football always attracts companies interested in laundering money. The people listed on the site are totally unknown to the crypto world. They have never done anything relevant related to Bitcoin.

But it seems they are getting a great media about it.

Not the first actually. There are already facts about selling tickets (for crypto) to the football matches with help of blockchain and some other examples around football especially.
It looks mostly not like something good for crypto community but rather for a 3rd league football team as it will bring more attention to them because of crypto hype.

I also remember quite recent news about UEFA making experiments ticket distributions on blockchain to make sure that tickets are not faked. And yet in this case I really don't understand in which coin the payment was issued. Quanto is in its ICO stage, so none of their tokens could be involved. Both links seems to use the term 'cryptocurrency' without explaining which one was it.
As for quantocoin, I guess it's cool that they are planning to be a totally legit crypto bank. It is also sweet that their token is built on Waves, not erc-20. But who knows if they actually manage to become accepted by people from other spheres (whether the payments in shops will be possible with their token, for instance). So far this project is in its infantry, and all we can do is keep track.

That make bitcoin price bump from Italy?

Yes, this is not the first time it has happened, there are many countries and companies out there that sell tickets for football matches with crypto currencies, but this news is also quite good and useful so we know that some Italian companies and communities have supported crypto currencies

[Herbert2020]

If this news is legit then I guess it will be good for both the cryptocurrency and the Italian people. Day by day crypto is getting popular and I hope Italian people will be using crypto in other sectors as well.

i don't really think so. it is only one case and it is not even a full usage of a cryptocurrency. it is more like an iconic use of some tokens on top of using real fiat. the article says 25% but i think it was 100% in fiat and some tokens were exchanged mainly for publicity of the token, possibly because they have some stake in it. and this whole thing looks like an ad for that altcoin to me.
