RE: FOUNDATION PROPOSAL - Update For State Of Steem
Hey @bluefinstudios,
The fifth paragraph of the following article in The Jerusalem Post reads: https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/HYPE-launches-worlds-first-blockchain-sports-tech-accelerator-584205
"Early adopters of blockchain technology include Italian soccer club Juventus – which launched an “Official Fan Token” with blockchain platform Socios.com – and the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League – which launched a blockchain-based platform last month for verifying the authenticity of merchandise."
Do you suppose that the Steem blockchain can be used in a similar manner by professional sports teams?

I would be very interested in hearing how the LA Dodgers and LA Kings held these events, given the difficulty of the US SEC and US IRS. There were conflicting interests and signals from each department on how ETH and Steem, etc would be treated. As a Security? Capital Investment? FOREX?
Hey @bluefinstudios,
If you phone or send an e-mail to the LA Dodgers and the LA Kings, and ask to have your e-mail or phone call to them transferred to whomever is the person that was responsible for having put together their organization's respective blockchain initiative, then they will probably be happy to chat with you, that they may answer your questions, as well as to hear about your own initiatives regarding the Steem blockchain.
