In a rather slick PR stunt, a Turkish amateur soccer club called Harunustaspor, announced they finished the first of its kind ever transfer for a 22 year old player called Omer Faruk Kiroglu. The total amount of money involved is not spectacular, around 6-700 EUR, a little bit over half of it being in Bitcoin.
As I said, it's not really a transaction, as it is a PR stunt:
Club chairman Haldun Sehit declared that the move was the first of its kind by a sports club in Turkey and worldwide. “We did it to make a name for ourselves in the country and the world... We are proud of this,” he was quoted as saying.
noted Reuters.
I wonder how much that tiny amount of Bitcoin will be worth by the time that 22 year old will retire...

Soccer players being traded on the blockchain? Makes sense to me! :-) I'll be patiently saving my ETH for the ICO of "PlayerTrader" ;-)

I suppose it's kind of cool in the sense that it gets added to the long list of "world firsts." A lot of trends happen because people lead by example. It may not look like much... but it opens a doorway to others to think "Hey, WE could do that!" and before you know it, you have a trend...

I think it's an inevitable trend, I know several people in my work environment who work with this currency and, perhaps, it will be a matter of a short time before they start making commercial agreements with this currency; perhaps, minor agreements, but in the end they are transactions. It's a matter of time ... I'm not an expert on the subject, but it's my perception. Greetings.
