On this week’s episode of The Crypto Mile, our host Brian McGleenon is joined by CEO of Socios.com Alexandre Dreyfus, a platform that allows fans to invest in crypto tokens that offer voting rights on the decisions made by their favourite clubs.

NFTs, sports and crypto combine on the Socios.com platform, which has partnered with over 170 sporting clubs across 25 countries and 10 sports and made high-profile deals with the likes of Manchester City, Barcelona and the Aston Martin F1 Team.

Socios.com utilises the Chiliz cryptocurrency and has invested in GameUsed, which takes the innovations of NFTs and tokenises sport memorabilia so that each item can become digital on the blockchain and usable within the metaverse.

The $26 billion sports memorabilia market is growing, and this is partly fueled by the rise of NFTs. The market is expected to reach $227.2 billion by 2032.

A blockchain is a distributed database that is shared among the nodes of a computer network. As a database, a blockchain stores information electronically in digital format. Blockchains are best known for their crucial role in cryptocurrency systems, such as Bitcoin, for maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions. The innovation with a blockchain is that it guarantees the accuracy and security of a record of data and generates trust without the need for a trusted third party.

In This Story: metaverse

A metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection.

In futurism and science fiction, the term is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets.

The metaverse is something which many in the early 2020s are actively engaged in developing: an entirely online, virtual and alternative reality, in which people will be able to conduct many forms of business and social interaction – virtually.

The movement towards a metaverse gathered significant pace and attention when Facebook’s parent company rebranded itself to “meta” in 2021.

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
