I have heard of some MMA fighters have invested in crypto, I guess Ben is in that boat. He had an expert on his Cryptocurrency-themed podcast. Michael Saylor has invested 1.125B USD in Bitcoin through his analytics company, and has been going to podcast after podcast explaining how 1 BTC can be worth 1 million USD in the near future. This must be his 15th podcast in a row and he's tired AF.



Apparently Stephan Bonnar made a lot of money in 2017 because he went in earlier than that and now owns a strip club in Vegas that accepts bitcoin as payment.

Not really surprising considering MMA is a gambling sport and a lot of fighters bet on other fights as well as their own. Investing in crypto is highly speculative and might as well be a gamble if you're not a hedge fund guy or a tech executive.

I guess now we know what he's going to be spending his YouTuber bashing money on...
 
Bitcoin is at an all-time high right now.
 
Rory McDonald was sponsored by Dash coin, which was a top20 coin at the time. Now it's down to 30th but not too bad
 
One BTC might be enough to set you up for life at some moment, sucks that I never bought some, pretty much bought some eth and some top100 alts

Eddie Alvarez is involved in it as well. I've been it for years (mainly Bitcoin but I have Litecoin, Ethereum and others). Askren also is involved in Litecoin, the UFC is/was excepting Litecoin years ago. Saylor isn't an expert, he bought Bitcoin the past few months and pretty much turned his company into a Bitcoin ETF. I've owned bitcoin for years and don't consider myself an expert. He is a leader among corporate CEO's since he's the first one to do this with his company's cash.
 
Bitcoin is another diseased symptom of capitalism. Assigning value arbitrarily to something inherently worthless out of thin air. Shitbags getting rich off doing nothing other than buying an invisible ghost coin will just bring forward the revolution.

You don't think the dollar or other paper currencies are the problem?
 
I can see Ethereum going up 15x and Bitcoin 10x potentailly all in the next 5 years. If you know, you know.
