GeordieDazzler Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Seems to be more and more of this creeping in the game. I'm pretty cynical about the whole thing but we're probably going to be seeing a lot more of it so thought it might be appropriate to have a thread for discussion. https://youtu.be/fyMPbkyRvh8 Edited December 22, 2021 by GeordieDazzler Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza ladra Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Probably says too much about myself: my age, my lack of tech savvy, my general disinterest in the modern world, that my immediate thought (hope) is that this really belongs in Not Worthy of a Thread.

Lazarus Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 These have been available for months - I first noticed them attached to south american clubs then loads of Italian clubs had them. After release they immediately plummet in value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting in that Tifo video about them that West Ham fans successfully lobbied the club against a partnership.

wormy Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 World leaders are probably some of the last people that want this shite replacing cash. Unfortunately there's just enough people that have now gotten rich off this sort of thing that they can form a vocal minority pushing everyone to get in on these modern day MLMS. I love that the Burnley one is trying to make it sound like you'll hold a vested interest in the club or something through their 'security token'. Not gonna just let people access actual shares in the club though, are you? Nah, thought not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central governments have always had control of money since the 18th century. The nationwide issue is for me an issue with the bank Industry, not enough is done for checks on banks IT systems and infrastructure and what backups they have. See what happened with TSB a few years back. However and cashless society reduces risk of counterfeit money and money laundering however needs to be fallbacks for older generation and those without access to the internet. That question they asked is around money laundering legislation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually ask you that because large transactions can be criminal in nature. It’s not really about controlling you I was unable to use an ATM or to make payments in and out of my bank, nothing I could do, I still don't see how a bank can ask what I'm using my own money for.

Look at fractional reserve banking where most what we call money is credit and that's issued by banks etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Listen, I'm not here to educate the masses. I've been in this space for years and I believe the web3 movement will be as big or bigger than web2. It's a pretty fundamental shift. And because it's still early and lacks regulation it will cause the dodge coin or crazy digital art auctions. Don't let that distract you from how much investment is going on. The game I mentioned above led the largest investment round in Europe. Just yesterday Visa announced a 1B$ acquisition of a ripple partner. Point fingers and laugh all you want.
