Cripto and Sports

[TheGreatPython]

I doubt that Messi actually took too much in fan token, he probably got like a thousand dollars worth just for marketing purposes. Obviously PSG is a big club but their token is not that big, it is a small one and I doubt that they would actually gave those token owners governance rights at all, it is simply just a marketing thing for PSG to raise some funds and get some attention.

If you research, you will realize that nobody actually gave the amount, we have no idea how much fan tokens Messi got, it could be simply just one token and they would be able to say "Messi took some of his salary in fan token" because it would technically be true. His 2-3 year salary is worth as much as the entire PSG fan token marketcap, I doubt he would be getting any serious amount there.

It doesn't matter how much of it he took in fan token, it was important to convince him to do it. It could be $1 all we know but he accepted that fan token is something he is willing to promote. I doubt that he would get a huge number, I agree with that however the ability to convince a super star like Messi to take even a dollar in it is the important part.

This is not about amount, amount could be anything, Messi could have still said no because he didn't believe in crypto, or he didn't believe in fan tokens at least, he could have been against it, there are people who are totally against crypto as well. The fact that he said alright to a fan token part of the deal shows that he is not against crypto or fan tokens as a whole and that is the important news here.

The only combination of cryptocurrency and sports, it seems to me, is only catalysts and bets, and most projects do not just like to cheat, but mislead people, and the problem is that this is not always connected with the companies themselves, but with fake matches.

I think that will depend on how people search for more details about the project to not get a scam or misleading information. Many people do not want to dig deeper about the project instead of following what others suggest. That makes them pick the wrong project and in the end, the project is run away with the investor's money. So related to the sports star who wants to invest their income in crypto, they should search for more if the tokens offered are really good.

Well because there is still the potential for fraud from fake matches so it must be clearly concluded that those who like cryptocurrencies will also use it personally and will have nothing to do with any party even if it is brought into the sport.

We saw the Litecoin Foundation sponsoring Ultimate Fighting Championship, Stake is sponsoring Watford, and there are many other examples I believe! Which is normal I guess, big names also need some marketing!
What we saw until now is just the beginning, crypto will find a way to get into sports, like with everything else, little by little... so we should be patient with adoption, crypto is spreading on all sides, and sport is not excluded!

I doubt that "official" tokens of sports teams would be scams. After all the teams are there and they could be sued which is the biggest problem for any scammer. If you are a scammer and nobody knows who you are then you could end up scamming people hoping that you will not be sued, and more often than not you will not be sued because people know that it is a highly unlikely deal that you would be.

However at the same time we are talking about something that is quite risky with teams because teams are there and they can be sued. So, that means if you are buying an official team token then you know that you will not be scammed. This doesn't mean that it will profit you, it may end up not being profitable at all, however it just means that it will not be zero, it will not be scam, it could still become a failure in the end if they do not care about it enough.

If the coin is issued as a share (Security token), then there is no problem and all holders of coins are equated to shareholders, but if it is tokens (Utility token) then there are problems with this, for example in the U.S. it will not be quite legal.

A number of sports stars were also interested in Crypto lately, such as Tennis Star Naomi Osaka openly interested in Dogecoin. The famous soccer player, Lionel Messi also received a part of his salary in the form of Crypto, namely the PSG Fansclub token. Previously, the NFL star Russel Okung also chose to receive half his salary at Bitcoin.

What do you think ?

So what is your concern here? does those star players has the right to choose on what to do in their salary? this means it is their decision to invest in crypto or not so what is your problem on that?

what is the difference of normal person and a sportsman to invest in this market as long as they are legally investing on it?

this should be taking a serious matter and also a advantage on our part because this will lure more investors as their Fans will invest following them sooner.

I think that due to the rapid advancement of technology, it is only natural that such a famous star, Lionel Messi, is paid part of his salary in digital currency "PSG Fansclub Token", I think it will have a global impact where digital currency will have more popularity than before. hopefully in the future there will be other sports stars who are interested in Crypto.

Some fan tokens from Chiliz are doing the business now. It's spreading the fan token sense amongst sports. Especially football(or soccer). Clubs like Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Paris-Saint Germain to name a few have jumped on the bandwagon. These tokens can be used to buy merchs and club goods, and some matchday tickets(from new developments)

And which do you think is better in this case? is it Security token or Utility Token?
because so far every cryptocurrency has been very good to hold and also won't be bad if held in the long term.

With the participations of sports personalities, the adoptions from this venue may increase interested investors who happened
to also as fan of those sports celebrities will be encouraged to use this system. Either to invest or to take part in this business.
by doing trades.

I see good influence personally; we know how wide the access of those sports personalities, especially superstars, who acknowledge
crypto.

That's good and there will be a good effect for every cryptocurrency that is used as their salary payment, because the more people who like cryptocurrency, the better the future of cryptocurrency will be in the future, so don't worry and just enjoy your work very much wise.

If they're really serious about crypto then that's really really good, because they are stars, celebrities, influence a large part of society. Their actions will push the cryptocurrency to be widespread further. But if they just use their reputation to manipulate and dump the market for self-interest like Elon did then it damages the market and harms those who trust them.

its not surprising anymore since crypto is really gaining attention even in public places nowadays, especially when it comes NFT'S wherein it becomes trending because how gamers and a bunch of people can obtain massive returns from it while at home, so it's not surprising that there are some popular games/sports or people around the globe that will embrace cryptocurrency as well as it's more reliable in my personal opinion and so easy to advertise around the internet unlike other physical stuff.

Yeah.

I saw that development and there are a lot of fans that are very optimistic with this development and wanting to use it to buy their favorite teams and players shirt.

It's a good use case aside from other benefits of use of crypto.

[impulse709]

This acceptance is a common thing. The adoption of cryptocurrencies by celebrities and sports clubs does not have a big impact on crypto. As predicted by a lot of people if this will definitely be a short-term adoption. They are trying to use superstars with great influence in the community to start increasing their advertising for coins. coin and the fact that it is just a fad, this is similar to what Elon Musk did with the dogecoin coin.

Crypto is for everybody.It doesnt matter on whats your status or position or what kind of person you are as long you do know on what you are dealing with including crypto then it will be our own choice
whether you  are a famous person or not then we can deal with crypto anytime and on what form.This isnt only limited on gambling industry but also in other industries as well
on where personalities do really see the beauty of crypto and thats why they do make out such decisions.

The crypto market is growing and becoming more popular. Celebrities using crypto can help it reach more people. However, we should be wary, it can be a gimmick to promote. Electronic coins like Dogecoin do not have practical utilities or solutions, they are considered meme coins, entertaining but promoted by celebrities, so their value is very high.

Sport is a wide range to target the possibilities to attract investors through audiences. If crypto will use sports to make awareness to the world, well fast and easy advertisement will happen. Televised crypto that sponsor the game is another influence. Not impossible to have a partnership between crypto and sport. In fact this is now happening world wide.

[dbc23]

It's another way to hype most of those tokens，aside Bitcoin and a few other cryptocurrency that athleles and sportspersons might choose as means of payment the rest is just an advertising strategy taking advantage of this sports person's influence to promote their tokens. Any way and which way it goes I still feel it's for the good of the crypto Industry

[nikola22]

many sport stars earn big money and they want to invest because their sport career is not long. crypto is a new evolving industry with high profits and that's why it attracts sport stars.
