It could be misleading to think that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is distant for Mexico and its football, since it is enough to take a look at those who run the clubs to realize that there is at least one clear connection: it is about Necaxa, as one of its The owners have decided to donate all the profits they make to the Ukrainian nation at an auction of their NFT, Bored Ape.
In a column to the Sportico site, Al Tylis, club owner, announced that he was born in Ukraine, specifically in Donetsk, and despite having emigrated to the United States, he still has friends in Ukraine. For this reason, the war has made him feel “powerless, sad and angry” so he has decided to find ways to help.
The businessman commented that he first chose to donate money, then with the rent from Airbnbs, but for him it has not been enough and now with “the good fortune” of working in New York and owning the Necaxa he has decided to support after having ventured into the cryptocurrency market.
Therefore, after having created the first NFT that was related to a sports team and also having been the first to imitate the Bored Ape Yacht Clubfound a way to continue helping the people of Ukraine and through an auction will donate everything that can be obtained with the image of the ape dressed in the club’s red and white shirt, as well as a cap.
How much money can the Necaxa NFT be worth?
According to the club owner, around 300 thousand dollars, since the minimum offer is 80 Weths, that is, about 206 thousand 84 dollars; The auction has a deadline of March 20.
Faced with questions from those who point out that it would be easier to donate the figure directly, he commented that he does it through this method because he not only wants to promote the NFT community, but also attract the attention of other sports teams to join the cause.
What is an NFT?
NFTs have become the subject of great controversy in recent months, because although for some it is the perfect idea to preserve copyright, for others it means just a clumsy way of making a profit.
This is because NFTs are assets that cannot be modified or exchanged, since no two are the same, it is as if only you had the original work in your hands, like the Monna Lisa painting: copies are not worth the same.
Its initials mean Non-Fungible Token (NFT), which can be understood as non-fungible tokens and have become units of value similar to cryptocurrencies, so now Necaxa seeks to help the Ukrainian population suffering from the ravages of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine with this auction .
