Everton, fan tokens and cryptocurrency

[BrendanGOT]

Err, pretty much all ransomware attacks request payment in crypto.

State of Crypto: Ransomware Is a Crypto Problem

The crypto industry needs to pay attention to – and help fight – the growing ransomware threat.

Err, what about all those years of the same scammers asking for bank transfers?

 

[Connor]

No its not haha.

Yes, it is

 

[sladen90]

Yes, it is

Some of it is a scam, but some of it is legit and has proper use cases.

 

[Efcjake]

Not a good look for the club getting involved in these ponzi schemes.

[Vic Vinegar]

Sinister individuals deal with crypto currency.

Keep that head buried

99% of illegal activities are financed and rewarded with FIAT currencies. Well that is what Interpol say and they might have some info on that stuff.

If you want complete anonymity, CASH is your man.

 

[Jacko93]

Do we have enough Chiliz to buy a right back? Do agents even deal in this stuff?

Is it exclusive to Mexican players?

 

[Connor]

Some of it is a scam,

Thank you

I am fully aware that many on here are reluctant to take any/much of what The Esk says seriously but, in this instance with Everton announcing (along with Arsenal, Leeds and City) a liaison with a cryptocurrency operation, it might be worth setting bias and jaundice to one side and read his latest article.

Esk has been looking into an interesting but potentially concerning development involving four Premier League clubs and the world of cryptocurrency.

At a time when fans everywhere are looking for more and better transparency in the game, is ‘buying influence’ through crypto really the way things should be heading ?

Chiliz, Socios…….

In recent weeks Arsenal, Everton, Manchester City and Leeds United have partnered with a company called Chiliz, who describe themselves as the leading global blockchain providers for the sports and…

Everton (or Socios) are asking for money for vaporware. It's completely outrageous.

Just what we need during the climate crisis

More computors running night and day to generate money for weirdos

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Makes me laugh that we condemn the Super League proposition in such strong terms and then come out with this kind of money-grabbing crap.

100% we’d have signed up for ESL if invited. No different to the rest of the fan-rinsing, soulless clubs in the league.

Up the Socio's

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Another example of the club practicing the very opposite of what they preach.

It's similar to Football Index in that the value of the asset is a complete blag.

I'm not even comfortable hosting debate on here - but then we have Everton endorsing it. Shame.
