anyone getting involved?

Ive pre registered so will wait and see what happens next

[Billy Whizz]

Did this not get panned on here when it was launched

[DarrenSQH]

Hibs official twitter pushing these NFTs to purchase to Hibs fans through official accounts tonight doesn't sit well with me.

Immediately alot of automatic bot style replies on how this is such good news.

Seems a bit of a scam to me. Hope no good hibees lose there money to it.

also if you question it on twitter be prepared to be inundated with replies how how you are wrong from people with very very few followers. And the followers they do have are associated with sportemongo

I saw this tweet a few minutes ago, I might if I understood what it was.

I had a look at Hibs' FAQs and unfortunately that doesn't take me any further forward - A Fan Token is a valued VIP Fandom membership in the form of a cryptocurrency.

That may as well have been typed up in Swahili.

Hibs hypermarket also out today, what's this about too?

[Mikey_1875]

Can’t really get my head around it or the benefits. The stream of odd accounts on twitter that back it up don’t really inspire confidence in it either.

I did notice a lot of random accounts commenting on Hibs' tweet within minutes, all of them had the Sportemon Go background on their profile photo.

I must admit it did make me feel a bit suspicious of the whole thing.

Seen that too, I replied saying the instant replies looked a bit suspicious and I come back to 6 notifications full of randoms telling me I should be excited to get involved.

The whole thing reeks, not happy with the club pushing this onto fans.

100% agree with this. It seems we take money off anyone this weather. Certainly not Hibs class

[bigwheel]

This Is something very different and new to most of us. Another example where the club seems to think more about the commercial opportunities than actually explaining the rationale and engage fans with it….this might be a big part of sports future, but without engaging us about it, it’s only natural it is met with cynicism.

I think I'd be less sceptical of this whole thing if there wasn't a rush of people replying to Hibs Twitter with very similarly worded replies about how great it is.

'I thought this wasn't for me then I tried it and I haven't regretted it. Just wait and see this is totally revolutionary and I could not be happier'.

Seems totally legit and natural.

[Radium]

I am clearly not the target audience because all I see is red flags.

A cryptocurrency, held by a third party where I can trade (buy) something that allows me to become a super fan.

A disclaimer that value can go up or down.

A series of bot accounts popping up on Twitter to back it.

You can vote on things

It looks to have been written as part of a school project, paragraph below from the website

“The more tokens a fan holds, and they more they vote, the higher the level of that fan, more tokens, more activity = higher rewards and level achievements until they have access to the biggest VIP benefit offers.”

I am presuming that because it is cryptobabble it is exempt from financial rules on selling investments?

I think that the comment around physical memorabilia makes it look like the end of the programme was linked to this deal.

… you never know the club may have listened and this will be the replacement for loyalty points

This also appeared on my timeline having been retweeted by Kenny Millar not long after the HIB$ announcement

What is Hibs Token?

[Jack]

Martin Lewis, Money saving expert to the masses, who has concerns about Klarna, another recent partnership. If you use it you lose certain consumer rights.

It seems the new regime, in bringing more money to the club, are whooring us for every cent they can get.

Hibs has a proud history of doing the right thing, mostly. I'd hope our current custodian respects that in future.

I think quite a few Hibs Fans have issues with where we are heading
Whoever signed this off needs to explain this

[DarrenSQH]

Some of the bots now starting to delete their replies.

They must have realised all the same tweets from accounts with single figure followers was being seen through easily

The clubs not fell for a scam. They got money to promote the company as any sponsor deal.

It's the fans who pay good money for something that won't physically exist is the scam.

No one apart from sportemongo will make any money from Hib$ tokens.

You didnt really answer the question, do you know what its about or just guessing and came up with the conclusion that its a scam, genuinely interested as i think i know what its about but not 100%

If it was genuinely a good thing would they need all these bots pretending it’s brilliant?

It’s very shady. Go on any of their profiles and look at their replies. They respond to every and any post involving this “Sportemongo” with cut and paste answers.

[Irish_Steve]

I read it, I am none the wiser. I will be avoiding it, not because I think it's good/bad/a scam - i just don't understand it!

Yip ive been on and the amount of bots replying is mental, but also been on and had a look at the actual company, if you are into crypto more than i am then it might make more sense, i only recently started to get involved in crypto currency so new to it

[007]

Lots of "people" all over this, haven't seen a single genuine fan that's interested. It's a mixture of "people" connected to Sportemongo.

They seem to be trying stir up a lot of "noise" to get people to think they've got to get involved ASAP so they don't miss out. It's a shameful hard sell tactic.

I'm also not keen on some of the smart @rse replies they've given. Use of the word "mate" and they manage to make the thumbs up come across as patronising.

For the record, on the screenshots you posted, I’m the one that said the instant replies were sus and 1 hour later I’m still getting replies from random crypto accounts telling me how great it is.

[gbhibby]

As Karen Dunbars character said in Chewing the Fat, I smell sh***.

[Silky]

It's just laughable. All the robot replies and crap from influences and stuff. Sounds a complete load of bollox. Hib$ token! 😂😂😂. I'll pa$$ on that!

[Radium]

Health warning with this one year old Twitter account that has made 11 Tweets. Has been going against the tide on the announcement thread ( for a potential bot)

These are replies to Hibs Tweets earlier in the week. The second one is to the Tweet about the B game.

Can someone please tell me that this is fairy tale stuff.

Really conscious that HSL was sunk on launch by claims of a ponzu scheme so if there’s something I am getting wrong can someone explain
