Bears will be playing on "FTX Field" for 10 years.
Lordy, it could be a lot worse. In the land of crypto, FTX is a rising star, just like our Cal Bears. I'm elated about this relationship; and I'm certain that with increased crypto asset adoption, more will feel the same.Chapman_is_Gone said:

They also sponsor MLB Umpires, they all wear patches on their uniforms.
Nope! That the beauty of this deal. No fiat ponzi for our University.BearoutEast67 said:

DOGE, not a fan, as well as with vast majority of 8k+ "coins" out there. Won't touch them. Given DOGE's backing and numbers, it will seemingly do well though. There are much more compelling projects to choose from. It's sort of like the early days of the internet, with tons of upside for the winners. If Cal saddles-up with BTC, ETH, SOL and MATIC, all on the FTX exchange, IMO, they will be rewarded quite nicely.ColoradoBear said:CalGB94 said:

I was wondering who the hell FTX was since those logo just recently popped up on the umpires uniforms. Ut not enough to Google FTX until now...
That deal goes beyond just the umpires uniform and includes marketing on many different MLB platforms.
The Heat/Miami-Dade County have an arena deal with FTX for $135 million/19 years.
So seems like a decently reputable deal with a SF based startup. So when are they giving away doge coin to the first 10k fans instead of bobbeheads?

Being somewhat compelled into accepting an early retirement package in Jan of this year, on my long to-do list was to thoroughly educate my ignorant, skeptical self on Bitcoin and crypto in general. In recent years, especially after some very smart people I admire did a 180 on Bitcoin, now fully embracing it along with the promise and potential of crypto assets and the blockchain, I realized the importance of dedicating some serious time to learn as much as I can...Unit2Sucks said:
Interesting, hadn't heard of FTX until recently but have been talking to some people who work/worked there, including a Cal friend of mine.
I am not that deep into crypto but someone I know who is believes that FTX's founder/CEO is the real deal and that FTX is going to do really well. If so, this could be a nice association.
About a week back was the 50th anniversary (Nixon) of the US going-off the gold standard. As a kid who took his weekly allowance to the local coin shops to purchase world currencies, I collected money from over 100 different countries before I traveled outside the US for the first time. I've long been fascinated by the concept and valuation of money. A ten dollar bill, for example, was worth its value in gold. No longer...metabear said:Apparently.BearoutEast67 said:

I'm in, and even put 25% of my Roth IRA into BTC and other crypto assets a month or so back. Preliminary returns have been astounding... The aforementioned Cardano (ADA) is about to hit 3 bucks as I type. Was a buck, about month ago. I encourage anyone to read-up on Cardano all that it will be able to do. It's launching smart contracts on 12 Sep 2021.

Love it, and congrats. Wish I made the time 7 years ago as I did 7 months ago! Quite envious...edwinbear said:Quote:

2014 Bitcoin OG here. Don't be surprised if soon our bears are playing games in Edwinbear Memorial Stadium.

Sam Bankman-Fried is pretty impressive alright. Crypto is hot, will get hotter, and FTX is a making a name for itself.
