I have been wondering for some time now which sports personality should become the face of Scorum, in other words who in the sports world does Scorum seem to have been made for? Here is my pick and I'm challenging you to share this blog with this sports personality and on social media and then write your own blog and tell me who you think would be the perfect fit as the "Face of Scorum."

My reasons for nominating Charles Barkley as the "Face of Scorum"

  1. He is from my home state of Alabama - I'm not embarrassed to say that I take pride in my State and the people from Alabama that distinguish themselves in their chosen profession. Even though Charles Barkley played his college career at a rival school, and even though I'm not a huge fan of the NBA, I still very much admire this man's accomplishments and how he always did things un-apologetically his way. He silenced those who said that he was not tall enough, or that he was too big, or that he was too "In your face" and aggressive.
  2. Charles Barkley is not afraid to take a chance or put himself out there for something that he believes in. If he were to read the Scorum White Paper and fall in love with this project and it's economic model, then he would not hesitate to jump in with both feet and make himself a home on Scorum. On the other hand if he looked the project over and thought that the idea and the model were flawed then he would have no problem telling us exactly what he thought about this project. This means that if he saw the same potential that many of us see then he would not only want to be a part of it, but he would not be afraid to explain to everyone why he chose Scorum over any potential rivals.
  3. Charles Barkley once lost $30 million dollars betting on sports, it is about time for him to make that money back and much more from Scorum and the betscorum site. Here is how, if he quietly began buying SCR at the current market price then he could easily collect 300,000 SCR for well under $10,000, which would be chump change for him since he has an estimated net worth of over $40 million. Once he had established his account he could then reveal that he is heavily invested in Scorum and then recommend the site to his friends. There are less than 30 million Scorum tokens in this world and Charles Barkley could easily control 1% of them without breaking a sweat. And with far less than half of those 30 million Scorum tokens available for purchase, it would not take much buying pressure to drastically raise the price. As you have heard me say many times, I believe that SCR will be valued at or above $100 within five years, thus with this relatively small investment Sir Charles could possibly reclaim his $30 million dollars in gambling losses just by taking a modest position in Scorum coins..
  4. If Charles Barkley converted his  300K SCR into SP and then used his influence to promote the Scorum platform he could secure for himself and his family a lifetime income stream that would become one of his most valuable  legacies to pass down to his family.
  5. Charles Barkley has a strong personality and will, just like Scorum. He is a man's man who likes to do things his way and with flare, Scorum is wide open for a man like that. He is not afraid to take chances and he loves the sports industry, so why wouldn't he want to become the leading edge of the future of sports? With his help and input Scorum would soar and adoption by the masses would begin much faster than without him, and with his face at the forefront he would be forever remembered as a pioneer in this new emerging industry of Sports Media built using Blockchain technology.
  6. If Scorum coins eventually became the Bitcoin of sports then Charles Barkley would be its King and one of the wealthiest athletes in the history of the world!
