Billionaire investor Mark Cuban to talk crypto on Blockchain & Booze tonight

Published at: March 9, 2021

Shark Tank star and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will appear on tonight’s episode of Blockchain & Booze.

Cuban is expected to talk about his fascination with decentralized finance and nonfungible tokens, and his views on the most imminent and compelling use cases for blockchain technology.

The billionaire investor recently joined a group of National Basketball Association franchise owners exploring the adoption of the novel tech in the NBA.

According to host Adam Levy of blockchain venture studio and fund Draper Goren Holm, the billionaire investor will also touch on his recent Dogecoin (DOGE) interest, as well as other projects on his investment radar.

Cuban recently adopted DOGE as a payment option for Dallas Mavericks merchandise. Earlier in March, the NBA franchise owner tweeted that Dogecoin's price could reach the $1 mark on the back of sales of “Mavs merch.”

Cuban’s more positive statements about crypto in recent times appear at odds with his prior position where on one occasion he expressed his preference for bananas over Bitcoin (BTC).

These days, he is more likely to be found praising cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. Cuban recently disagreed with noted “gold bug” and BTC skeptic Peter Schiff, calling Bitcoin living technology while referring to gold as being dead.

Commenting on Cuban’s scheduled appearance on Blockchain & Booze, Adam Levy, the show’s host, stated:

“Having Mark Cuban on the show is one of our biggest highlights for the Boozer community. I’m honored to be sharing an hour with him live in front of thousands and to pick his brain on his outlook for the industry.”

Episode 50 featuring Cuban will air via livestream on the Cointelegraph Twitter account on Tuesday, March 9 at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time (1:00 a.m. UTC, March 10 ).

The hour-long fireside chat will be followed by a 60-minute networking session for streamers and viewers.

The Blockchain & Booze show happens every Tuesday, and it's free to register at Blockchainbooze.io.
