RSC is combining football and crypto like never before
The cryptocurrency movement has flooded into all kinds of industries and its influence has been global. So much so, that it is already making great promises of changing the sports industry as we know it — for fans and even for players themselves.
Nowadays you can buy coffee, beer, or just about any type of food using Bitcoin, you can shop at an e-commerce online store and pay with Ethereum, Litecoin and other digital currencies and you can even pay for your cable bill using crypto, too. The winning march of crypto in so many aspects of our lives is becoming more and more present. So what else do we love and is a big part of many people’s lives? It looks like cryptocurrencies are ready to disrupt the way sports fans and players interact. And football is the next frontier.
Football (soccer; in some regions) is a sport that does not shy away from evolution. It is a fast paced sport that changes along with new technologies and actually adopts many of these quite rapidly. FIFA recently allowed player stats tablets to be used during its recent Russian World Cup 2018. This is a step forward in data extraction for machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help teams make better decisions while in-game. Virtual Reality (VR) games are being used by football associations to help players train and analyze plays more efficiently and fans can even catch their favorite games projected in 3D on their kitchen tables using Augmented Reality (AR) and ditch the old 2D viewing experience that has been the norm for so long. With all of these exciting new possibilities football is also embracing how cryptocurrencies and blockchain can work to make the industry better. A more recent example has had the UEFA using blockchain to distribute tickets to the Super Cup directly to fans’ mobiles.
An interesting example shows teams paying their players in cryptocurrency salaries and even cryptocurrency projects sponsoring teams as brands, too. It seems cryptocurrencies and football have a great potential of doing great things together.
But the most compelling evidence of cryptocurrency and technology joining forces to change soccer is, by far, Ronaldinho Soccer Coin (RSC). It is the most complete project in terms of offering great use cases for fans who love football and want to experience it using AR and VR technologies. Fans who want to be able to buy tickets for their games and avoid paying high fees to make international payments, these are all problems solved by the creation of the RSC Token harnessing the power of the NEO blockchain, with 10X faster confirmation than the Ethereum blockchain.
The RSC Ecosystem is a revolutionary take because it gives something to every fan.
It will help promote football and futsal — a variation of football — through Ronaldinho Soccer Academies in different parts of the world. It will also create Digital Stadiums in which fans will be able to buy services such as AR/ VR applications and even participate in placing bets in cryptocurrencies for real-life games and virtual games as well. The construction of an innovative actual soccer stadium will also have the RSC team promoting the use of the RSC Token for any games and sports events inside the stadium. Smile Project is the final component that will donate soccer balls to kids all over the world to help them pursue their soccer dreams.
Ronaldinho is a key partner for this project as his sphere of influence and followers is global. He is cherished as one of the most influential football living legends of our time. He has voiced his support for this huge endeavor quite often on his personal Twitter account.
Ronaldinho and the RSC team are building the next standard for technology and cryptocurrency in soccer and now YOU can participate in this promising venture. The crowdsale of RSC tokens starts on 1 November and lasts till 20 November, NEO sale will be live from 30 November to 28 December.
