Patriots Quarterback 'Santa Mac' Jones presenter Bitcoin till hela hans offensiva linje
Mac Jones, the rookie quarterback sensation and best hope for the 9-5 New England Patriots to extend their decades-long dynasty in the NFL, is giving Bitcoin to his entire offensive line this Christmas.
Mac Jones, the rookie quarterback sensation and best hope for the 9-5 New England Patriots to extend their decades-long dynasty in the National Football League (NFL), is gifting Bitcoin to his entire offensive line this Christmas.
“I’ve been studying Bitcoin for a while now. This year I just knew I had to give some Bitcoin to my teammates,” Jones said. “So I reached out to Bitcoin Magazine and asked for help on how to give Bitcoin as a gift.”
Mac Jones nådde sedan ut till andra Alabama Alumni och VD för Bitcoin magazine David Bailey. In addition to Bitcoin, Jones and Bailey decided to give the financial education resource of a Bitcoin magazine tryckt abonnemang till hela Patriots offensiva linje, samt passningar till Bitcoin 2022 conference, which is set to be the largest Bitcoin event in history.
“When Mac told us he wanted to spread the Bitcoin wealth for Christmas, we jumped at the opportunity to support him. Our mission is to make Bitcoin the de facto money of humanity, which means blending it into our popular culture. Bitcoin is for everyone, but the brave, optimistic, and forward thinking people who see the future are the ones adopting Bitcoin and sharing this important message,” Bailey said.
Med nyheterna, Jones becomes the first NFL quarterback to give Bitcoin as part of a ritual that’s now tradition among elite players in America’s most watched sports league. Quarterbacks often go the extra mile to give back to their teammates, as a happy and dedicated offensive line is what protects them from an onslaught of attacking tacklers.
Under 2020 gav NFL-quarterbacks en rad unika gåvor till sina lagkamrater från Pacman arkadspel till anpassade målningar.
Dock med sitt val av gåva, köpt via Svanen Privat, the concierge division of popular Bitcoin buying service Svan, Jones visar framsynthet för att hjälpa till att skydda ekonomin i hans offensiva linje på lång sikt.
"He did an outstanding job. We got a big haul over here," veteran center/guard Ted Karras told reporters Friday in a video press conference.
"One of the best efforts, especially by a rookie, to show appreciation and wish us a Merry Christmas," Karras said. "So, very thankful to him and very glad to be his teammate here in this Christmas season."
In total, Jones is gifting Bitcoin to 12 members of the Patriots, including David Andrews, Trent Brown, Yodny Cajuste, Yasir Durant, James Ferentz, Justin Herron, Ted Karras, Shaq Mason, Mike Onwenu, Alex Redmond, Will Sherman, and Isaiah Wynn.
All will now hold Bitcoin for the first time, joining the 46 million Americans som äger Bitcoin eller någon form av kryptovaluta, enligt Pew Research Center.
It may prove good timing as despite Bitcoin’s recent Q4 cool-off, Bitcoin is still up 107% on the year (compared to just 27% for the broader S&P). Not to mention that over the last decade those gains are even more staggering, with Bitcoin upp över 1,100,000 XNUMX XNUMX % under det intervallet.
Jones and his offensive line will receive the Bitcoin via the concierge service Svanen Privat, which connects each recipient with one of the world's top Bitcoin experts to help them on their Bitcoin journey. Notably, Jones and Swan have both had stellar Novembers, with the former having been named the NFL’s rookie of the month and the latter samla in 6 miljoner dollar i en serie A finansieringsrunda.
Cory Klippsten, vd för Swan Bitcoin, commented: "Our mission at Swan is to create 10 million new Bitcoiners, not just people who own Bitcoin, but people who understand how important it is. That’s why we’re so focused on education and world class service. Our Swan Private concierge team is very excited to partner with Mac and his squad on their Bitcoin resa."
In embracing the promise of Bitcoin, Jones follows a lineage of football greats who have begun to hold Bitcoin or take their salaries in the cryptocurrency, including Odell Beckham Jr., Saquon Barkley, Aaron Rodgers och regerande Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady, i vars fotspår Jones följer i New England.
Bitcoin and crypto exchanges FTX och Crypto.com have both purchased ads for Super Bowl LVI 2022, which means this February could see Bitcoin gaining broader visibility on the national stage.
Time will tell whether Jones and his upstart Patriots will be on the field for the game. In anycase, they will be attending the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami this April as special guests.
