Soccer and blockchain: popular and misunderstood

Soccer and the blockchain: the long-awaited encounter
Soccer has a long history. Back to its origins, football was a game for British aristocrats. Its popularity is mainly due to financial and imperialist reasons. It is mostly popular in Europe and developing countries — most of them being former British colonies.

The Commonwealth is the reason football is the most popular sport in the world.

FIFA also played a big part in broadening the attractiveness around the world. By organizing World Cups and European Cups, governments around the globe see in football a financial opporutnity to gain influence on the international scene.

Yet, as it gained in popularity, it brought with its growth a giant amount of speculation, noise and corruption — jeopardizing the very essence of the game.

The same thing is happening to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. At the moment, crowds are still unaware of the possibilities the blockchain can bring to them. This is why personalities from the crowds must express their opinions on its values. Listening to financial gurus who make a living with FIAT could be dangerous, for the core values of some blockchains put at stake the paradigm they have evolved in.

Why you need to choose the right blockchain
What matters is not how developed a technology is. What matters is the vision the founder of a cryptocurrency.

Niv’s values and vision are what enabled a whole team of freelancers around the world to build the UnitedFans’ Dapp.

Every action, every decision in the creative process has been made so crowds and sport fans can get empowered by living their passion.

Sport fans won’t be mere spectators clapping or buying tickets for a game. Niv’s goal is to suppress the boundaries whch exist between team-managers and football fans.

UnitedFans will enable anyone to participate in the decision-making process — in a secure and corrupt-free fashion. By keeping a trace of every transaction and decision, the Ethereum blockchain serves as a protection to make the football world a more ethical environment.
