Summary

Tom Brady rewarded a fan, Byron Kennedy, with Bitcoin and other memorabilia after the fan returned the quarterback's historic 600th touchdown football.

Abstract

Tom Brady made history by throwing his 600th touchdown pass, and the fan who caught the ball, Mike Evans, initially gave it to another fan, Byron Kennedy, without realizing its significance. Kennedy generously returned the ball to Brady without demanding compensation, prompting Brady to gift him a Bitcoin, which was valued at over $60,000 at the time, and additional memorabilia. The fan's decision not to haggle for more may have been influenced by his unawareness of the football's potential value, which is estimated to be between$ 100,000 and $600,000. Furthermore, predictions from macro guru Raoul Pal suggest that the value of Bitcoin could skyrocket to$ 400,000, potentially making Kennedy's Bitcoin worth as much as the historic football in the future.

One Bitcoin for Tom Brady’s 600th Touchdown Ball was a Steal

Tom Brady may have given the best cryptocurrency gift ever.

You may have heard Tom Brady threw his 600th touchdown pass this past Sunday. The receiver, Mike Evans, who caught the ball, handed it to a fan and didn’t think twice about the significance of the football.

Fortunately for Tom Brady, the fan, Bryon Kennedy, gave up the football without a fight. In return, Brady gave Kennedy a Bitcoin which was worth over $60,000 that he announced on Monday Night Football. The fan could have asked for more but didn’t. He may not even know the true value of the football.

Some estimate the football could be worth over $600,000. Action Network estimates the value a little lower at $100,000.

Receiving the Bitcoin wasn’t the only reward Kenedy received. Kennedy was given two signed jerseys and a helmet from Brady, a signed jersey from Evans as well as the cleats he wore in the game.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers gave Kennedy store credit up to $1,000 to their team store as well as season passes for this and next season.

TB12 brand tweeted they would provide Kennedy complimentary session at the TB12 Center in Tampa.

This wasn’t a complete loss for Kennedy or was it?

2021–2022 Bitcoin price prediction

The former Goldman Sachs executive and now investor, Marco Guru Raoul Pal, said this on Anthony Pompliano, or Pomp’s YouTube channel:

“I think Bitcoin, somewhere north of $200,000, and ETH closer to $15,000, but I think we finish the cycle with Bitcoin close to $400,000 and ETH closer to $40,000.”

Raoul Pal expects the market will end when Ethereum finishes its conversion to ETH 2.0.

If Kennedy holds onto his Bitcoin, it could reach close to the current asking price for Brady’s football.

Ken Goldin of Goldin Auctions believes Brady’s football could be worth at least half a million dollars.

“I know I could call two or three people and sell that for $500,000.”

Kennedy’s Bitcoin will reach close to that amount but possibly more in the future.
