Learn more about what connects the world of Web3 and football in the second half of our series.

Welcome back to the second part of our exploration of football and blockchain technology! After a short halftime break, we are witnessing the kickoff of more leagues this week, including the league where our star player plays.
From fan tokens that work like digital season tickets to the importance of doing your own research, we'll explore new ways these two worlds intersect - yes, just like that full-back roaming down the wing.
The Importance of Security: Defending Your Goal
In football, strong defense is crucial to protecting the goal. Similarly, in the world of cryptocurrencies, security measures like two-factor authentication (2FA) and secure wallets are essential to protect your digital assets.
Just as the goalkeeper and defenders collaborate to keep their goal clean, various security protocols work together to keep your cryptocurrencies safe. Ensuring the security of your digital assets is just as important as having a strong defense in football.
Passionate fans - our special Binance Angels
Every football club has its loyal fanbase, known for their unwavering support and passion. From attending every match to their notable encouragement in the face of challenges, these fans represent the essence of the club's community.
In the world of digital currencies, Binance Angels play a similar role. Dedicated community members volunteer their time to help others, spread knowledge, and foster a positive environment. Just as passionate fans represent the heartbeat of any football club, Binance Angels are the driving force behind the Binance community, ensuring everyone feels welcomed and stays informed. If you are one of those passionate fans of your team, you already know this.
DYOR: Do Your Own Research
Football coaches do not enter any match without scouting the opposing team. Similarly, no head coach or sporting director signs any player without ensuring their readiness to play. Thorough research is essential in football and is a core part of any club's success.
Similarly, no one should own or trade digital collectibles without putting in their own effort. The principle of 'Do Your Own Research' (DYOR) is a fundamental principle in the world of cryptocurrency, emphasizing the importance of understanding what you are investing in, just as a coach needs to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the opposing team.
WGMI: We’re Going to Make It
In football, fans rally their support for their team with chants, especially during critical moments of the match or at the start of a new season. This collective display of belief in the team's success can be a powerful motivator for any player on the field. Think of phrases like 'YNWA' in Liverpool or 'GGMU' in Manchester United, and you’ll be on the right track.
Similarly, in the cryptocurrency community, WGMI, or 'We’re Going to Make It', serves as a rallying cry to boost morale. Whether launching a new project or facing a tough market, WGMI unites the community with a shared belief in future success.
To the Moon: Unlimited Potential
Every true football fan believes that their team is destined for the best and greatness. Whether it's winning a derby match, a cup, or the league, we all want that. Every new season makes you think: 'This will be our year.'
In the world of cryptocurrencies, the term 'to the moon' refers to the same thing. Originally, it referred to a project or token price that is expected to rise significantly. However, it can now generally be used to refer to the future success of something.
When: A playful take on when
"When will that happen?" From anticipating a potential title win to signing a prominent new player, or even the inevitable firing of the coach, the question of 'when?' echoes on the lips of football experts and fans alike.
In the world of cryptocurrencies, this sentiment is also embodied in the term 'when', which is a deliberate misspelling of the word 'when'. People use 'when' to ask about future milestones of the project, such as 'when moon?' or 'when, what are its new features?'.
As with much of internet culture and cryptocurrency memes, it helps to add a touch of humor to discussions, just like the banter among fans speculating about their team's next big move.
Connecting the worlds of football and Web 3
Success in football and cryptocurrency isn't entirely different. You need to do your homework, keep your belongings secure, and appreciate your team and unique assets.
Whether you are cheering for your favorite team or diving into the world of cryptocurrencies, discovering these connections can make a big difference and allow you to achieve significant gains in both fields. This could be our season!
