Whether the rumors of Hulk Hogan missing out on the George Foreman Grill endorsement contract are true or not, Mike Tyson isn’t about to let the same thing happen to him with the future of digital currencies. He’s now endorsing his own digital wallet, putting the value of his name to hardware that makes it easier to hold on to your virtual cash.

The digital wallet, while compatible with those same machines, is an entirely different piece of kit.
The wallet, which is app-based, is designed to bring Bitcoins to smartphones in an easier manner than ever before.
