Bitcoin Soccer Team Adds Winklevoss Twins As Investors In English Premier League Mission: Why Shared 'Deep Conviction' In Bitcoin Is Important
The goal of owning a professional sports team is out of reach for most people. Valuations are exorbitantly high, and there are a limited number of publicly traded teams for sale.
對於大多數人來說，擁有一支職業運動隊的目標是遙不可及的。估值高得離譜，可供出售的公開交易團隊數量有限。
Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are not like most people. The twin brothers recently invested $4.5 million worth of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) into English soccer team Real Bedford FC.
雙子座創始人卡梅隆和泰勒·溫克萊沃斯與大多數人不同。這對雙胞胎兄弟最近向英格蘭足球隊皇家貝德福德足球俱樂部投資了價值450萬美元的比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）。
They are now official co-owners in the team, alongside Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack, who bought Real Bedford in 2021.
他們現在是該團隊的正式共同所有者，還有比特幣播客彼得·麥考馬克，後者在2021年收購了皇家貝德福德。
McCormack has been trying to propel the team to the Premier League — the top English soccer league.
麥考馬克一直在努力推動球隊進入英超聯賽——英格蘭頂級足球聯賽。
So far, he's on the right path. Real Bedford was promoted from the 10th tier to the ninth tier after last season. The club is currently in first place in the Spartan South Midlands Football League. A league win would earn a second straight promotion and take the team to the eighth tier.
到目前爲止，他走在正確的道路上。皇家貝德福德從 10 強中晉級第四 繼上賽季之後排名第九級。該俱樂部目前在斯巴達南米德蘭茲足球聯賽中排名第一。聯賽勝利將獲得連續第二次晉升，使球隊進入第八級。
"Cameron, Tyler and Peter all share a deep conviction in bitcoin and its ability to help supercharge RBFC's quest to make it into the Premier League," a press release reads.
一份新聞稿寫道：“卡梅隆、泰勒和彼得都對比特幣及其幫助加強 RBFC 進入英超聯賽的努力的能力有着深刻的信念。”
"We're not just investing in a football club, we're investing in a dream to bring Premier League football to Bedford. We firmly believe Peter is the right leader to make the dream a reality," Cameron Winklevoss said.
“我們不僅投資足球俱樂部，還投資於將英超足球帶到貝德福德的夢想。我們堅信彼得是實現夢想的正確領導人，” 卡梅隆·溫克萊沃斯說。
The English Premier League includes some of the most valuable teams in the world, including Manchester United (NYSE:MANU). The publicly traded sports team went through its own investment cycle recently with English billionaire Jim Ratcliffe securing an investment in the team.
英超聯賽包括一些世界上最有價值的球隊，包括曼聯（紐約證券交易所代碼：MANU）。這支上市的運動隊最近經歷了自己的投資週期，英國億萬富翁吉姆·拉特克利夫獲得了對該隊的投資。
Nowadays, soccer teams are attracting investments from deep-pocketed investors and celebrities alike. Actor Ryan Reynolds and pro athletes like Tom Brady are just two of the most famous names putting a spotlight on soccer fandom and the promotion system, leading to potential growth for teams.
如今，足球隊正在吸引財力雄厚的投資者和名人的投資。演員瑞安·雷諾茲和像湯姆·布雷迪這樣的職業運動員只是兩個最著名的名字，他們聚焦足球迷和晉升體系，這爲球隊帶來了潛在的增長。
