Staples Center to be renamed Crypto.com Arena on Christmas Day!!

[Lucius]

The funny thing is that Los Angeles Lakers fans are absolutely NOT happy about this name change. 

Not only fans, but also famous people like Kobe Bryant's wife or LA Clippers player Paul George, who consider it a move that will in some way take away the history that is directly related to the name that the center had for many years. People are sentimentally attached to these things and find it hard when someone sells the name of a sports arena or football stadium, and I believe many will be disappointed with this move. But no one asked the fans what they thought about it, only money matters and there is a lot of it here.

I think it's a very fortunate event, especially due to the naming of the company. If it were something like Coinbase or Binance, it would only promote a particular company, and people who aren't into cryptos might not even know what it means and what business the company's in. But 'crypto.com', while definitely advertising this specific company, also clearly has the name 'crypto' in it, so I think it counts as a general publicity of cryptocurrencies as well. Hopefully, by hearing 'crypto' more, people will be motivated to learn more themselves and then choose the services and providers of services they are interested in themselves.

Even the players aren't happy about it.  Russell Westbrook joked that they will soon call it "Crip Arena" in what I can only assume is a misguided attempt at humor or maybe he knows something about satoshi that the rest of us don't.

This whole brands on buildings and jerseys isn't anything new.  I remember being pissed off when Candlestick Park became 3com park.  That's when I sort of stopped thinking of manmade buildings as having their own identities.  Who knows, maybe someday the Grand Canyon will be called Amazon View or iCanyon.

Thanks to this particular altcoin project's name the renaming of the Staples Center will probably benefit more than just the project alone. Had this project remained Monaco, this promotion might end up serving only their own brand and not the entire cryptocurrency community.

This is big news indeed. And Crypto.com is already benefiting from this news. This kind of active marketing is not new to Crypto.com. The brand has been aggressively promoted around the world in so many ways big and small.

Man this is huge news!!! I'm going nuts on this!!! Although that I am not a fan of Los Angeles Lakers or Clippers, this is a history in the making!!! Now crypto adoption and mainstream will be accelerating even more.

Thoughts on this guys? This is really exciting for crypto enthusiasts!!!!

And this is why crypto.com coin had a huge bull run recently. It's a good news, but I don't think anyone who aren't crypto enthusiast would notice anything. I mean people are still going to call it Staples. We have seen name changes a lot, but people still call them using their old names. Like most of the people still call Sears tower as the Sears tower. Call it Willis tower, I am sure there are people that won't recognize the name. But yeah, good for crypto.com. At least people will notice it because of the ".com" lol.

For the right price, nothing is impossible, because everything is for sale. Maybe even Matt Damon will add crypto as his middle name or make a movie called Cryptonian - at least that's how it seems to me when I visit their site, it looks like some movie portal, not a crypto exchange

as people who are not aware of crypto might be curious, and they would never think it's a scam since LA Lakers promoted them.

I wouldn't be so sure about that! Imagine what a newcomer investor would think after seeing drastic reductions in value, for some of their investments.

I saw the announcement earlier and it surprise me because of all the names, they focus on crypto as if it will gonna be the next big thing in the next decades to come and it will be since we see these companies adopting the crypto industry one after another.

They didn't focus on any name or brand, but rather on who's willing to pay the most amount ^{[in the shortest time]} for the naming rights of their arena.

I wonder if we will see an effect on the price of BTC because of this news. this is quite big and the exposure cryptocurrency because of this will be huge. that being said, I also wonder how many people will have a problem with this. I mean, Staples Center must have been a nostalgic memory for someone, and seeing it being renamed would probably have an effect on them.

It will definitely be a big effect, I mean it's a stadium that has a lot of basketball and other events have been held so it's not like it's going to fly under the radar of the event goers especially with the signboards and total name change, I don't think that only a blind and deaf man would miss it. I don't think that bitcoin will get the full effect though, I think that it's more likely that Crypto.com's crypto would get the credit more.

For me as a historical person and I love history I would not let change the name of the Staples Cente like its history the name it will be known that way.

Also same as you I am going nuts they are changing it? for what? Money?

Crypto.com paid more than $700 million for the 20-year naming rights, according to the Times.

All I would say we, people of today are a slave of money and some does not care about history in the making.

I don't know about the business they may say it's a brilliant move but I am against it. Maybe if I am business-minded and all maybe I would understand this such thing.
