Title: Bitcoin Shark Tank Post by: thegolden24 on December 11, 2013, 11:53:37 PM When would you expect a business Bitcoin related to be on Shark Tank? and what kind of business would it be(currency exchange, Mining hardware manufacturer, etc.)? All guesses are welcome ;)
Title: Re: Bitcoin Shark Tank Post by: olsn on December 20, 2013, 08:38:26 AM I don't think Shark Tank would be the right place to get money for any BTC-startup. Those guys are way to greedy and usually take a lot of equity, which for 'traditional' businesses is fine. However, imho I'd say that the sharks wouldn't be able to grasp the full potential that any BTC-startup could bring to the table (maybe Mark or Robert could, but they are just as greedy as the other guys).
As a marketing-pupose for Bitcoin, an appearance on Shark Tank would certainly be very nice. But my guess would be, that it'll probably be some mobile-app or some product with a very broad audience.

Title: Re: Bitcoin Shark Tank Post by: Wardrick on December 21, 2013, 05:07:36 AM Credit card that can transfer BTC to usable currency in seconds. Click a couple buttons to determine how much BTC you want to sell at the exchanges rate, and once it sells the currency is immedaitely available on your credit/debit card.
I guess it'd be the app + the company they would be promoting there Title: Re: Bitcoin Shark Tank Post by: olsn on December 21, 2013, 03:30:21 PM I don't think Shark Tank would be the right place to get money for any BTC-startup.

Wasn't Kevin on the Canadian news months back with positive things to say about Bitcoin. Haven't read about that, but i guess you're right, it sounds very much like him, he'd be willing to make money on anything! The only deal, i know of, that he turned down for image-reasons was for medicinal mariuana (but who knows what he did behind the curtains). Anyway, every if that startup wouldn't get an investment, it would be good publicity indeed. Title: Re: Bitcoin Shark Tank Post by: bitpop on December 26, 2013, 10:20:12 AM I love the show.

He already scammed other investors for $8 mil and was wearing flip flops!

Have Ver, Keiser, Voorhees, and maybe even a Winklevoss invest REAL money - bitcoin - into young bitcoin startups. Title: Re: Bitcoin Shark Tank Post by: notserp on February 02, 2014, 10:13:07 PM ha i love shark tank
