BStanRamFan Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Where are the mods telling us to get back to talking football? Instead they're participating in the tangents on what "crypto" is. When it's a social justice issue or sexual assault, we're immediately steered back on topic. But something less divisive, have at it! 🤡 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It is unlikely they will see any problem with it as long as the value given is market value. What I mean is a team can't buy a cryptocurrency now, give it to a player a year from now, but claim it as the value it is now vs then. I also expect the rule will be/is that the contract has to be in USD with a provision saying they will pay such value in bitcoin rather saying they will give X number of bitcoin.

I did share a thought (given that it's a topic I happen to be an SME at, given my current career) and I did direct to another thread that's more apropos to this line of discussion. You're right that it's not divisive - but more importantly, it's not an item that's governed by the rules of this website: https://forums.footballsfuture.com/guidelines/ I see that those other two items we "steer back" on are covered - pretty extensively, at that. But, I look at these rules (which have been standard for nearly two decades) and... I DON'T see anything about Cryptocurrency. So, I don't know where I'm required to "steer back" but... What do I know, I've only been a Mod since Adrian Peterson was a rookie and the Rams were 8-8 with Jeff Fisher in St Louis. So, hope this helps. And... next time, send me a PM. kthx! - ET 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like when we are able to have free discussions, regardless of the topic. However, if we are going to keep discussions about football solely, let's be consistent. But you are right; next time, I will PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyX Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 If you think the concept of a tradable asset that fluctuates in value did not exist before now then I suggest you read up on tulips. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
