Sacramento Becomes First NBA Team To Offer Bitcoin Salaries

새크라멘토, 비트코인 급여를 제공하는 최초의 NBA 팀이 되다

Ranadivé made this known in a room hosted by a club called the ‘Satoshi Roundtable.’ The room was headed by Tim Draper, a venture capitalist well-known in the industry for purchasing Bitcoin from the US Marshall’s auction in 2014, and co-hosted by Bruce Fenton, a prominent Bitcoin advocate, and investor.

The news first broke out on Twitter after a Clubhouse audience member, Neil Jacobs, tweeted what the Sacramento Kings owner said.

“I’m going to announce in the next few days that I’m going to offer everyone in the Kings organization, they can get paid as much of their salary in bitcoin as they want, including the players,” said Ranadivé, according to Jacobs.

Ranadivé는 "앞으로 며칠 내에 Kings 조직의 모든 구성원에게 선수를 포함하여 원하는 만큼 급여를 비트코인으로 받을 수 있는 기회를 제공할 것이라고 발표할 예정입니다"라고 말했습니다. 제이콥스.

The news has generated many opinions from crypto critics and enthusiasts. Most say that this move would strengthen the California NBA team’s long-standing claim to be one of the most pro-crypto teams in professional sports.

This is not the first time the sports team has innovated using blockchain tech. Sacramento Kings announced back in 2014 that they were open to receiving payments in Bitcoin for their team merchandise in partnership with payment processor BitPay.

스포츠팀이 블록체인 기술을 사용하여 혁신을 이룬 것은 이번이 처음이 아닙니다. Sacramento Kings는 2014년에 결제 프로세서인 BitPay와 협력하여 팀 상품에 대해 비트코인으로 결제를 받을 수 있다고 발표했습니다.

It also started mining cryptocurrency in 2018 by setting up a program called MiningForGood that donates the funds to charity.

In 2019, Sacramento Kings went on to launch rewards tokens for fans. The token was called The Kings Token, and it was done in partnership with blockchain-based event ticketing platform Blockparty.

2019년에 새크라멘토 킹스는 팬들을 위한 보상 토큰을 출시했습니다. 토큰은 The Kings Token이라고 불리며, 블록체인 기반 이벤트 티켓팅 플랫폼인 Blockparty와의 파트너십을 통해 이루어졌습니다.

Last month, Cuban announced that they would be accepting Dogecoin as payment for tickets and merchandise. Shortly after that, Cuban confirmed that they immediately received more than 20,000 Dogecoin transactions making the Mavericks the largest Dogecoin merchant in the world.

Before the Dogecoin announcement, Mavericks already allow Bitcoin payments for tickets and merchandise through a partnership made with BitPay in 2019.

Dogecoin 발표 이전에 Mavericks는 이미 2019년 BitPay와의 파트너십을 통해 티켓 및 상품에 대한 비트코인 결제를 허용했습니다.

Not only is crypto being used to allow fans to purchase tickets and merchandise and for clubs to pay players’ salaries and transfer fees recently, but it has also gained momentum in the NFT sector.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is a major player in the NFT space through its online digital collectibles marketplace, the NBA Top Shot. The NFT mania has become a good source of revenue for basketball teams, with the NBA reportedly closing deals over $500 million, according to The Verge.
