Billionaire Mark Cuban is Finally Considering Bitcoin

It seems just about every time the Bitcoin markets perform well, legacy investors and traders feel the need to make themselves heard. Yesterday we heard from billionaire and reality television star Mark Cuban (again):

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

Him being a billionaire doesn't change anything -- Mark Cuban is a complete idiot who's just trying to say or do things to gain himself some media attention. No one in his right mind takes anything coming from him seriously. I don't even understand why news sites are creating an entire article just for him -- are they that desperate to push articles online to generate some ad revenue pennies?

I think this is worth a news. Remember he was anti-bitcoin and he had said a lot of negative things about it. I think he was left behind by some of his billionaires friends who have invested early on. And during once of their chat he was out of place because his friends are talking about bitcoin. LOL. Then he went on a tirade because of this. Now, he's suddenly make a U-turn because bitcoin is now a game for the rich. He don't want to be left again and of course he wants to get profit as well. Greedy Mark.  Smiley Plus he wants to stay relevant in the news and he wants to talk about bitcoin and for sure everybody will listens.

Lol the same idiot who said bitcoins are in a bubble is now saying he's interested. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if he invests in bitcoin cash hahaha. Roger Ver and him seem to have similar logic and agendas.

Maybe Mark Cuban not understand the nature of volatile cryptocurrencies, because of lack of time. But we should not underestimate his entrepreneur and businessman talent. "Idiot" guy will never gain such money and assets as he has. He is owner and co-owner, famous investor and philanthropist.

I'm sure that someone like him would have invested  into Bitcoin quite early. No matter what he may have publicly said, there is absolutely no chance that he would have missed an investment into bitcoin as soon as the possibility of it becoming a real currency appeared. I don't know what kind of personal issue you might have with him, but unless you have some sort of proof of anything of what you say, this sounds like random BS to me. Just because he has spoken against Bitcoin before doesn't mean he isn't allowed to change his mind. I am sure everyone at one point had their doubts about Bitcoin ever becoming popular or commonly accepted as an asset or currency to transact.

The signature campaign posters adding useless redundant fluff to their posts to reach their minimum word count are lowering my IQ.

News articles are written on news which sells. Billionaires getting into cryptocurrencies is definitely news worthy, especially from a cryptocurrency website's point of view. It doesn't  matter if Mark Cuban gets some free attention on the way.

Bitcoin is surpassing every investment asset this year in terms of profit it has to offer. These millionaires and billionaires have many sources of income with investment being the major. They keep on investing in profitable assets and hence can't certainly ignore Bitcoin. Many investors are turning to Bitcoin today because with Bitcoin you can grow your money with least risk possible. I claim it to be the least risky investment asset because year after year Bitcoin has always risen and any dip lasted for a short term only.
