Summary
Location: London Date: Thursday 13th January Company: Real Bedford Role: Chairman
For years I have wanted to buy a football club in Bedford and get them in the football league. Now it's a reality as I have agreed to acquire Bedford FC and set up the first Bitcoin standard football club: Real Bedford. And, it's thanks to Bitcoin and its amazing community.
There are two prime motivations. Firstly I want an opportunity to play my part and help spread the wider exposure, education, and adoption of Bitcoin. There are many great people I've been fortunate to interview over these past few years who have provided real value to the ecosystem.
Secondly, I want to give something back to my hometown where I still live: Bedford. Like many small towns throughout the UK and around the world, it has gone through various waves of growth and contraction that have tested its identity. A football club that's able to compete at the highest levels could provide a positive focal point for the town and put it firmly back on the map.
Don't be fooled into thinking this isn't without major challenges. I have never run a football club before, we're 9 leagues below the Premier League, I have other significant commitments, and there's widespread incredulity about my ambitions. But, this is a boys' own dream, and I want to take you along for the ride.
In this interview, Bitcoin advocate and good friend of What Bitcoin Did Dominic Frisby talks to Peter McCormack, Chairman of Real Bedford. We discuss the dream to help Bitcoin and Bedford, learning to run a football club, and documenting the adventure.
