Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

This is really where the main risk is imo and needs to be very clearly communicated, if you know what you are doing you can easily hedge out any risk on the $CHZ side of things. Are you at all familiar with the Socio platform? For instance is there an order book for the fan tokens? Yes, you'll be a...

Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

Murphy do you know who actually controls the supply of the actual Leicester fan tokens? Is this managed on Socios end or by the club? It will be a finite supply as agreed between Socios and Tigers - they'll have to advertise what that number is, under what conditions tokens might be burned (destroy...

Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

Fair enough. We are getting a bit into the weeds with my wider grievances with crypto. On a more localised basis, a major concern should be around monetising of fan access/engagement. Perhaps on the face of it this is a more appealing to a Premier League club, where the barrier between fans and the...

Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

Crypto evangelists have been saying they'll move to proof-of-stake for ages. I'll believe it when it happens. It's actually more complex and inefficient in some ways, and it's still bad for the environment (just less so). Proof-of-stake also massively skews in favour of those who already own the mo...

Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

Are these firms regulated by the FCA ? No, the industry is largely unregulated at the moment - hence the number of pump-and-dump scams. My advice: don't engage with it other than to add your voice to the rest of the fans who are telling the club to ditch the idea - not because it's a scam though; b...

Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

I will clarify with murphy's post, that the tokens are fundamentally tied with Socios own cryptocurrency. In order to buy tokens, you have to use their app to buy their cryptocurrency called Chiliz. This currency is then used to buy tokens. By the way, the value of Chiliz has halved in the past yea...

Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

As a bit of an old git myself I would be really grateful if one of my fellow posters with knowledge of all of this, and there seem to be a few of you could find the time to do an idiots guide on all this including explaining the terminology and some of the acronyms used :smt023 This is a pretty bro...

Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

My stepson is a graphic artist and got involved in the NFT market, producing art and literary work, in partnership with a member of a world-famous rock band (family connections). After a year, both declared it a disastrous con. The con is partly in the way that some people/businesses are using them...

Re: Leicester Tigers gets in on the crypto grift...

I work in blockchain and I think that fan tokens aren't worthwhile. In a sport like football, where player access is very limited and clubs are behemoths, then finding a way to help a sprawling, international fanbase close that gap could be valuable (though much more easily achievable using a fixed ...

Re: Manu sent home

Excellent piece of man management from MoC today regarding this. Protecting his man, just like EJ did with Ford when he was criticised (albeit for different reasons). Personally I like it when a manager tells people to back off in no uncertain terms. I expect a positive response from MT to his coac...
