Maybe someday you'll see a #Telcoin commercial during the big 🏈 game.
In the meantime, we're putting everything we have into building the Internet of Money.
#Telcoin CEO Paul Neuner, General Counsel Tim Mahota, and President of Telcoin Banking Operations Patrick Gerhart testified in front of the #Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance this morning as a final step toward becoming the state’s first Digital Asset Depository Institution. Many thanks to the department and @USRepMikeFlood for the opportunity to share our vision for Nebraska and beyond as we seek to upgrade the technology of money and put the state at the forefront of #blockchain banking and #fintech.
This line of argument regarding Pep gets a lot of traction. It is mischievous to make it an EITHER / OR kind of argument. There are various facts which can be and are true at the same time.
Fact - Pep is a great Manager. ONE of the greatest and the best right now.
Fact - But outside of the once in a generation Barca team with the likes of once in a generation players like Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and others, he basically did nothing out of the ordinary until he came to a financial doping powerhouse in City.
Fact - He builds great teams and plays a scintillating brand of football most days. No doubt.
Fact - But without that financial doping of City, he would not have the resources to build his team and keep refreshing them at the pace he did/does. He'd have to do it how every other manager in the world has to do it. It would take more time. Which would mean he wouldn't win it as consecutively as he did. There would be trials and errors as every other manager but Pep faced, because he had the luxury to buy players for eye watering sums in same positions and then replace them immediately if they didn't work. Other managers have to live longer with their failed signings, but Pep doesn't.
Fact - Some of the athletes in other sports caught doping were great athletes in themselves too. But in elite sports of thin margins, the significant advantage of doping makes all the difference between winning and losing.
Fact - Just like athletes in other fields, financial doping at City gave Pep - an already great manager - an illegal and insurmountable advantage which was impossible for other great managers to match without the same luxuries as Pep.
FACT - So yes, without financial doping and without the luxuries of the squad bequeathed him by financial doping, they'd still have won the PL title on and off (which City anyway won before him) and maybe the Champions League too. But they'd not have won it consecutively and probably not won THE treble either. He couldn't do it at Bayern of all places.
FACT - He will be considered a managerial great but his trophies at City will always remain tainted. A scandal of this magnitude in sports has never been run in such an organised manner by such a powerful organisation (backed by a state with its monetary and diplomatic might) with such success for as long as I can remember.
FACT - Nobody else would have won the league 4 times in a row other than Pep is like saying 'Yes he might have cheated and had an unfair advantage, but nobody could have won the Tour De France 7 times in a row like Lance Armstrong did'

Klopp's "let them come to Anfield" and the arrogance of their players after the first leg only to get trashed at home was fucking glorious
One of the biggest "you're not that guy" moments in football
