    Non league Club just had £4m thrown at it by the Winklevoss brothers. They’re now Real Bedford. Netflix incoming…

    Obviously pocket fluff to them, but an insane amount of money for any Club at that level. The fans will of course be buzzing, but I have to wonder what the wider and longer term impacts of this could be. They’ve already changed their name, and adopted a daft badge with a blockchain address as their Established date.

    Crypto billionaires, created a crypto exchange, will prob vanish leaving behind a puzzled football club and many dreamers with empty pockets in the near future.

    It's nice while it lasts of course, but why that particular team/club.

    Aren't these the two brothers who created Facebook at college, before the Lizard Man stole the idea and claimed it as his?

    Bedford is such a weird place - no football team of note, no rugby side, no county cricket side of any standing...First one may be about to change with this though.

    Their owner does a crypto podcast, has an association with them whereby he gets funded to say how wonderful their product is. Probably.
