also a charity auction to meet the worlds greatest soccer player will be carried out through bitcoin!

That was nice and "unique" way of contract signing deal lol. Honestly no surprises here.

Since this thread was posted on Speculation section, then let's make a speculation question here after that move.

- Will others follow? On the side note, this month, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban noted on Twitter that next season fans would be able to purchase tickets with Bitcoin (I think for American Airlines Center only). It will be on 2018-2019 Season. If that will happened, there is a chance that other NBA homecourt will follow this,

- Will sports organizations will allow this kind of deal for long term? (as per article, the Turkish government suggested to citizens that use of cryptocurrency was “not suitable” for Muslims as the government could not exert sufficient control over its use.)
