FWIW the website is © Copyright 2015 Bitcoin Direct, LLC ... So it's marketing for using a big celebrities name. But it's always encouraging to see high-profile be aware and share Bitcoin.
True! And he tweeted to 4.9 million followers.  |

What is more significant price wise? Bill Gates buying more BTC for his foundation (a guy from the technology area investing) or Mike Tyson opening his own ATM (a more mainstream celeb investing)?

I'd definitely say Bill Gates. They both have a large amount of followers, however Bill Gates has more influence over people with more of a tech and investment background. I'd imagine most people that follow Mike Tyson are not techies or investors. Since bitcoin makes sense to more people with a tech or financial background I'd say Bill Gates is a more significant supporter. |

With that rationale Mike Tyson is widening bitcoin awareness, people in tech industry already now about bitcoin, specially investors. |

I was very surprised to see Tyson into Bitcoins. He doesn't come across as someone interested something so intangible as bitcoin? FWIW the website is © Copyright 2015 Bitcoin Direct, LLC ... So it's marketing for using a big celebrities name. But it's always encouraging to see high-profile be aware and share Bitcoin.
That's why. He is a celebrity spokesperson for Bitcoin Direct! Mike Tyson is a celebirty, no doubt. Is he really the right person as a spokesperson? I don't think he can pull people into bitcoin. His words doesn't carry enough weight. The list isn't that long. We need more and bigger stars. A bitcoin logo on a top female tennis player in a grand slam final would do nicely. |

Bill Gates of course, he moves millions, but don't understimate the power of Mike Tyson. He is not only one of the best ever in the sport of boxing, he is part of American culture and a legend, thanks to this now millions of people will be aware that at least Bitcoin exists, so this is indeed awesome news, a great publicity stunt for Bitcoin. |

well I sure hope Mike is smarter with finances compared to the days when he earned $400M and blew it all and had to declare bankruptcy.

That's pretty cool news, hope he is successful with this, and expands. He might be able to bring more mainstream people into it.
This is really great and I am sure this will bring some positives to Bitcoin and seeing Mike Tyson do this, other celebrities might follow, even if they do it to earn some money to advertise but people follow them and it will help bitcoin ultimately. wow. he doesn't look like the type that takes interest in something like bitcoin..
I wonder what made him do this.

he should've invested before then(around $90), seeing how we have increased to 1200, he is probably very confident that bitcoin will skyrocket again |
