Gibraltar United is the first European football club to pay its players with CRIPTOCOINS
Gibraltar United will become the first European football club to pay with Criptomonedas to its players. Thanks to an alliance they have made with Quantocoin, Gibraltar's longest-lasting team will become a pioneer of this type of operations.
Gibraltar is a country with a very open stance to the criptomonedas and blockchain technology. Thus, it is not surprising that a team from the country's first professional football division take a similar step. The club owner, Pablo Dana, has already pointed out that all player contracts will include payment agreements in Criptomoneda for the next season.
Dana is an investor in Quantocoin, a project that seeks to launch a mobile banking application based on blockchain during this year. In addition, Heritage Sports Holdings, the team's shareholder group, signed a partnership agreement with the company. According to this negotiation, players, fans and employees of the company can use the services of Quantocoin. This includes the possibility of the group using Criptomonedas to buy players.
[Gibraltar] was the first place that regulated betting companies 20 years ago, when everyone saw them as horrible. They established compliance and anti-money laundering regulations and created a platform; They have the intelligence to do the same with the Criptomonedas.

Michael Owen of striker to create his own Criptomoneda
This famous striker born in the city of Chester, United Kingdom, has gone from being an idol of the Harrow of Anfield Road to become a great investor. Playing in teams like Real Madrid or Liverpool leaves huge amounts of money in the purse and it seems that Michael Owen knows how to administer it.
Two weeks ago, the British striker acknowledged in an interview in Hong Kong that he was working to take out a revolutionary project in the world of Criptomonedas.
The platform they are working on is intended to be a loudspeaker so that celebrities can get funding for charitable projects by selling their own tokens.
We hope and wish that the English striker is so lucky in this project as in his football career, becoming a golden ball of the Criptmonedas.
