A Fan Token is a valued VIP Fandom membership in the form of a cryptocurrency. HIB$ Fan Token Holders could receive premium and priority access to a range of Hibernian FC specific Fandom membership perks, competitions, iGames and loyalty benefits. So that clears that up. When you get down to it, it sounds like this company are sponsoring the club and then raffling off the sponsor benefits. But all wrapped up in some cryptocurrency mumbo jumbo that allows other people to profit off Hibs fans in the process. Just from an outside perspective, there's more to this than meets the eye. I've been trading cryptocurrencies since 2010(ish) and it's a completely unregulated market. That means all the usual price manipulation tactics are perfectly legal (most common being whaling) as well as "pump and dumps" - there's nothing to stop this company or some random dude on the other side of the planet from doing either. I think the Hibs administration pushing this is misinformed at best and shady at worst and that's before we even get into the blatant astroturfing that was going on over on Twitter when this was announced.

tian447 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Sportemon Go? They are taking the absolute piss with that name. I can see Niantic and Nintendo raking them over the coals for that infringement, seeing as it's clearly a name rip of Pokémon Go and could arguably be trying to ride the SEO of a much more popular but similar search result. The difference is, that at least one is enormously popular. It sounds like a complete con for absolute morons who don't know what they're doing, and think it will be the next Bitcoin. It won't.

Gmcjambo Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think this decisions just shows how much respect the owner has for the fans, and how much he rates their intellectual capacity (he has a point there though!). To be fair there is strong opposition to this on hibs.net and some are definitely seeing the risks of a foreign owner - think their eyes have just been opened. Ron the Con has a mark against his name and I reckon they'll see more from him to worry them before too long. Hibs have plateaued on and off the field - we're passing them on the way up which is marvellous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ToqueJambo Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Had a look at the Twitter replies to Hibs promotion of this - it's overrun by bots or followers of this currency or whatever the **** it is. That's seriously dodgy and a massive brand fail. This on top of other Ron Gordon decisions, especially the fact Hibs hired a guy who was slated at Norwich for this kind of toxic commercial deal, doesn't exactly bode well. He's clearly tone deaf when it comes to understanding football culture in Scotland and the image Hibs fans have of their own team. Popcorn time. As for changing their club name for this "promotion" by adding a dollar sign (not even a currency Hibs fans use FFS) - cringe, tin pot, etc, etc....
