    Would you be happy if the club took money off Gazprom today?

    Could be worse I guess.... could have been a 4 week period of Liz Truss' face on the shirt fronts.

    I get what you are saying, and as already mentioned, hopefully, we got paid upfront this time. It seems they are marketing to your average person with claims like 39% return on investment. Not people who know about Crypto. That return is based on Hex though and not the underlying Ethereum coin and requires an ever-larger demand for hex to keep the prices going. This means more and more people investing etc. to cause an increase in price by an increase in demand. Would I want any of our fans putting any of their hard-earned cash into this? No no, at all. That would be my worry I suppose.

    Doesn't look like that increase in demand is working anymore either

    The sort of stuff you see in an article which ends with the words "...jailed for 10 years."

    I understand what you are saying but how many Barnsley fans get involved in the product? not many.
    Unless we can get a good sponsor as they have at Millwall, then this types the best unless one of the Ownership wants to do it and built it up.

    Spot on Gally - this doesn't fill me with any confidence. I can see us finishing the season without a sponsor the way cypto is imploding.

    As someone who invests a bit in crypto, I'm obviously not anti-crypto. Don't know much about Hex to be honest. I still think it's a good time to be buying BTC and ethereum, though.

    For me, the most persuasive evidence for it being a scam is that we've gone with it. It's far more on brand for BFC to be sponsored by a pyramid/ponzi/Nigerian Prince than it is to be sponsored by the legitimate future of blockchain.

    On the plus side, the deal is worth 17 gazillion BitGroats* to Barnsley FC

    I know this is very serious stuff, but I’ve seriously never got the giggles as much to a thread on here, before I even looked, having seen the official announcement…. You couldn’t write it!
