2/ This acquisition is part of a childhood dream to own a local Bedford club. We don't have a big club where I live and I've always wanted to bring league football to the town.
I am taking over as Chairman but Lui is going to stay on until the end of the season and support me.

3/ So what is the plan? To get our club into the Premier League, 9 promotions...
...I am a bitcoiner, we aim big. If we can separate money and state, we can get a football club into the Premier League.

4/ I expect to be laughed at and told we can't. I expect people will tell me stories of how other people have tried this and failed. I don't care, we can do this and I will put everything I have into it.
We have so much leverage...

6/ There are two specific phases to this:
- Local: getting the team to the National League
- National: getting the team into the Premier League
Both phases require a different strategy, but ultimately we need to be commercially successful.

7/ The following chart is a guide as to the range of running costs per team, per league.
Based on the sponsorships I have already sold and interest in our merchandise. Our year 1 revenue could match a small league 1 club.
We can therefore afford the best players and managers.

8/ Where local teams can only tap into a local community of fans/companies to drive revenue, we have a global army of #bitcoin holders and companies who can get behind this.
9/ We have so much leverage.
An army of 150m #bitcoin holders and companies can be part of this journey.
I can also leverage my platform and audience.

11/ Let's not let FTX, Crypto.com and Ryan Reynolds have all the fun...
...3.5bn people watch the Premier League alone, we can use this to communicate a #bitcoin standard.

The design here is a mockup for the club jerseys. I'll be tapping you all up to buy them :)
