Instead of Bobbleheads, Baseball Stadium Tries Handing Out Crypto Tokens (mlblogs.com)
The Los Angeles Dodgers will try a high-tech giveaway for their September 21st game: "Digital Bobblehead Night." DevNull127 quotes the digital editor for the Los Angeles Dodgers:
While supplies last at guest's point of entry, the first 40,000 ticketed fans in attendance will receive a card with a unique code and directions to a website where a digital bobblehead can be unlocked and added to their Ethereum wallet. The player Crypto token received will be randomly selected, with approximately an equal number of Kershaw, Turner and Jansen codes distributed at the stadium gates.
"We're excited for our first-ever Crypto giveaway, and to explore an entirely new marketplace with our fanbase," said Lon Rosen, Dodger Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "We hope this piques the interest of Dodger fans, and will help launch a new age of digital collectibles and promotions."
That stadium already has another high-tech gimmick: Flippy the Burger-Flipping Robot, who reportedly was "called up to the Majors" to help feed hungry baseball fans by cooking up fried chicken tenders and tater tots.

"Where is my bobblehead?"
"Sir, tonight you are getting a special token to a digital bobblehead."
"So I go to some web site where I can see my bobblehead?"
"Well, no. First you need an Etherium wallet."
"Where do I get this wallet, then?"
"You have to download the wallet software and run it on your computer."
"Then I can see my non-existent bobblehead?"
"Well, sort of. It's in your wallet, and you know it's there."
"F' that. Give me a real bobblehead."
A dingo ate my sig...
... you're getting a "virtual bobblehead" added to your "Ethereum wallet", whatever the fuck that is?
Perhaps you haven't heard of things like Cryptokitties and that People have spent over $1M buying virtual cats on the Ethereum blockchain -- oh, and that people are stupid.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Someone probably will "accidentally" leave some fake cards lying around at the stadium with alternate instructions that winds up draining the persons Ethereum wallet.
We hope this piques the interest of Dodger fans, and will help launch a new age of digital collectibles and promotions.
And The End then won't come soon enough - for Dodgers fans and the World ...

I'm starting to understand how Trump got elected.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Yes, it happened because the Left considers the American people stupid and wishes to harm them. Apparently you learned nothing from the experience. Sneering contempt is not how to win people over to your side. I also note the TDS in a thread about cryptography.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
It's a bobble scheme, not a bubble. Try to keep up.
