Mark Cuban: Bitcoin (BTC) is a Digital Store of Value

Bitcoin and crypto Twitter has been ablaze over the past few weeks as Mark Cuban, a billionaire investor, has continued to dabble in the space. Cuban is best known for his role as a Shark on “Shark Tank” and as the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. The American investor recently started to increase his exposure to the Bitcoin space, at least in terms of his public persona, when he began to tweet about cryptocurrencies.

In a recent blog post, Cuban affirmed that he sees Bitcoin as a digital store of value.

Cuban Talks Bitcoin

In a blog post dated January 31st, Cuban discussed Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other aspects of the digital economy.

In this blog published to Blog Maverick, his personal website, he explained that blockchain driven assets have “now legitimately become stores of value”:

“This digital store of value isn’t limited to Digital Goods of course. It has long included cryptocurrencies (CryptoAssets is what they should be called, they are rarely used as currency), like Bitcoin , Ethereum and so many others, along with the tokens being created to support De-Fi and other value creating derivatives of CryptoAssets. They all are Stores of Value with market cap leader Bitcoin having a decade plus long history of transactions and wealth generation.”

The investor has long discussed Bitcoin, previously arguing that investors should have some percentage of their portfolio in the leading cryptocurrency.

Cuban is now arguing that there may be some intrinsic value to these digital assets:

“To so many the idea that a CryptoAsset could be a store of value is crazy. To them, there is no there, there. There is no intrinsic value. To them it is a digital representation of nothing, that crazy people are paying good money for. That is not the case.”

Far From the Only Billionaire Involved

Ray Dalio, another billionaire investor, also recently released a blog post on his thoughts on Bitcoin.

The world-famous asset manager commented last week that he thinks “Bitcoin is one hell of an invention.”

He added that the cryptocurrency is becoming a gold-like asset:

“Those who have built it and supported the dream of making this new kind of money a reality have done a fabulous job of sustaining that dream and moving Bitcoin (by which I mean it and its analogous competitors) into being an alternative gold-like asset.”

Cuban and Dalio join the growing list of prominent investors that see Bitcoin as a viable investment opportunity.

How to play and earn in CryptoKitties

CryptoKitties is a blockchain-based game where players can buy, sell and breed digital cats with unique attributes. Reminiscent of Tamagotchi and Pokémon, the wildly popular digital pets and creatures of the 1990s, CryptoKitties is a blockchain-based game where players can collect, trade and breed digital virtual cats. CryptoKitties was the first Ethereum-based game, and its popularity underscored many of the network’s scaling issues. This digital cat-breeding blockchain game caused quite a bit of congestion on the Ethereum blockchain, peaking in 2020. However, the game’s creators were able to address these issues. What is CryptoKitties? Launched in 2017, CryptoKitties was built by Dapper Labs, the company that uses blockchain technology to bring nonfungible tokens (NFTs) and new forms of digital engagement to fans around the world. CryptoKitties is also considered one of the world’s first-ever blockchain games. In the game, each one of the digital collectible cats possesses a

Bitcoin dominance falls under 40%

While Bitcoin critics claim this means that BTC is losing its first-mover competitive advantage, others are anticipating the “altcoin season” is just around the corner, or might even be already underway. Bitcoin’s market dominance has continued to fall, bottoming out below 40% this week. That’s very close to the all-time low of 36.7% in Jan 2018 according to data from Tradingview. Bitcoin ( BTC ) market dominance refers to the ratio between BTC’s market cap and the total crypto market cap. It's not the first time dominance has dipped in 2021.
