The Dallas Mavericks of the NBA Will Take Bitcoin

It has been an extremely volatile an stressful time in the cryptocurrency world over the last few weeks. Bitcoin has dropped from its all time high around 20,000 back down to under 10,000 including a devastating drop over the last 72 hours. The governments of South Korea and China are getting most of the blame, but there might be big news out of the sports world to give everyone a reason for optimism.
The billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks and potential Presidential candidate, Mark Cuban, announced that he will accept Bitcoin as a form of currency at their stadium next season. Fans will be able to buy tickets and t shirts and hats, etc with the cryptocurrency. Cuban is the first major sports owner to embrace Bitcoin.
The next question is will this be mass adopted by all of the major United States sports? Or is this an isolated incidence? Mark Cuban has always been a forward thinking owner and is well respected not only in the sports world but also in the business, finance and technology worlds.
This could potentially be one of the biggest developments in the history of the cryptocurrency as Bitcoin may merge into the professional sports leagues. That would ease a lot of tension and give hope to what has been a rough stretch of late.
Do you think that this will positively affect the current crash of Bitcoin? Thank you for following @steemsports and you can find me @scottybuckets

If I recall correctly it seems like someone converted or sold out Cough Mark Cuban and his bubble talk still comes to mind.

Well I don't know if he is following the crowd or leading the charge but to answer your question I do think it is helpful to see adoption in general and the interest is genuine and good in the long run.
cool..!
First he trash talks it now hes going to adopt it. Well at least he recognizes when he is wrong
That's huge news! Momentum is growing... it's only a matter of time before cryptocurrency is mainstream.
This could be fantastic news! I hope all of the major sports teams follow suit
I can't wait to see what the effects of this move would be.. Great post !
Very exciting!
Its a great time to buy bit coin
Why wait? Isn't Cuban supposed to be an early adopter. This should have been done 5 years ago.
Wow this is exciting! it would be Mark Cuban do take this on first
And so it begins
Great news!!!
