Topic: Olympic athlete gets paid in cryptocurrency (Read 570 times)
I hope our country will be the next of it because our government has a little budget on athlete and sometimes as an athlete you need to provide on your own to pursue your dreams. I experience before that my friend is an athlete that he can't provide shoes on her own to run on a contest, so I've let her borrow my shoes so he can run comfortably. Even though he did not win in that contest I know that someone will see her talent and sponsor him.
good news has begun to come
Cryptocurrencies are well adapted in sports and betting industries and Japan who will host this 2020 Olympics are also preparing to introduce the bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. There is no doubt that cryptocurrencies will be adopted to other industry aside from sports , entertainment and music industries as well.

That's great news!! I am sure that he is not the last who will get paid in cryptocurrency.
It is good news for cryptocurrency users but in the same time it is weird seeing that many governments are against it
Hello everyone an excellent kind of earnings on crypto currency is investing in Bitcoin and it takes quite a lucrative profit not so much time as it seems not so difficult to deal with it.
Do the athletes know more about cryptocurrency ?, or just know it ?. If indeed the athletes know more about cryptocurrency, I think that race deserves and is quite unique in gift giving. But if the athletes were not very understanding with the crypto, they are given a decent gift shaped ordinary course.

whether this can motivate the sports industry on other branches to adopt cryptourrency?
need an international branch to be able to influence other industries, eg World Cup Soccer. With prizes using cryptocurrency, then adoption on other sports will emerge

I think it's an awesome way to get crypto out there! Global even! Hope to see more of this.
That's great news for crypto currencies in general, but especially good advertisement for the athlete and the mentioned sponsors. I would also be interested in what crypto currency the athlete got, but this might be revealed at another time.
Even though we don't know what currency they were paid in, being paid in a crypto currency is the most exciting prize. This is great publicity for crypto currencies along with provided the winner with a long term investment opportunity beyond the initial reward.
Recently I have heard that a coin made sponsorship agreement with football team "Espanyol" and now the athlete gets paid in crypto makes me feel that sport arena would be the best way to advertise crypto
Interesting stuff. Looks like it's about SportyCo - decentralized sports financing platform, which is the new sponsor of Espanyol.
With the partnership of SportyCo and RCD Espanyol crypto moves into top tier football
This is fantastic that sport and crypto gets closer and closer.
It's been long overdue since bitcoin has been making the news ans sports especially soccer is the most popular sport i expected more of this to happen even a year or two ago because sports can really promote crypto currencies like bitcoin even better and the springing up of many sports betting companies online and their impact on spoorts is enough evidence to p[rove that sports and cryptocurencies can help each other and they've got some connection.
Its great to find out about that. He turned into the primary competitor to be paid in crypto. I feel that is on account of he is under the sponsorship of ONG Social. Notwithstanding, that could be an uplifting news toward the end, despite the fact that the crypto couldn't be at high cost right now. I trust different competitors take after the means done by Ted-Jan Bloemen. What's more, the crypto sponsorship ought to be augment up to cross web based amusements.
Here is another Olympic update from USA Luge team: Bitcoin at the USA Olympics this winter.
Looks like there are some certain tax benefits for donating BTC in US.
Not sure, are those tax benefits applied only to sport or other areas as well?

This is good news for the cryptocurrency market. I am sure there will be many more like this. In fact, I believe in the future for every industry there will be a separate coin to suit the special needs of each separate market.
This is definitely good news. We need more endorsements by athletes, celebrities, and other people with strong followings. It wouldn't hurt to have a credible investor as well.
