Peter McCormack, a well-known Bitcoin bull, recently announced that he has become the proud owner of Bedford FC, a local football club in the United Kingdom.
In a heartfelt Twitter thread, he explained how this acquisition matches with a childhood desire of bringing professional football to his hometown and how Bitcoin will help make that dream a reality.
McCormack highlighted his aspirations to build Bedford FC as a club with “Bitcoin at its center” in a fourteen-tweet thread, as well as some of the details of his optimistic agenda for the team. The first phase will focus on putting Bedford FC into the National League, with the second phase focusing on getting Bedford FC into the Premier League.
“Both phases necessitate a distinct strategy, but we must ultimately be commercially successful,” Peter concluded, and this is where Bitcoin, according to McCormack, joins the team.
“It’s all about winning games, and you need the finest players and managers to win games.” “You have to be commercially successful to afford the greatest players and managers,” he remarked as he explained his method.
“I will establish our club as the Bitcoin club, a team that operates on a Bitcoin standard,” McCormack said, adding that Bitcoin will be incorporated into every aspect of the team, from merchandise and sponsorship endorsements to an education training program for fans and community members, as well as open-source development opportunities.
“We have so much leverage,” said the bull without any false modesty, adding that he knows everyone in Bitcoin–which will make it easy to “rally the troops.”
“An army of 150 million Bitcoin holders and companies can be part of this journey,” he argued, as he pointed out that teams the size of Bedford FC can typically only tap into a local community of fans and companies to drive revenue.
McCormack has over 432 thousand Twitter followers, and his well-known Bitcoin podcast has over one million monthly downloads–and he’s more than eager to take advantage of his platform and audience.
” Let us not allow FTX, Crypto.com, and Ryan Reynolds have all the fun,” McCormack said sarcastically, noting that 3.5 billion people watch the Premier League alone, which he hopes to utilize to promote the Bitcoin Standard.
