Even better would be a bitcoin shark tank where all the sharks are early bitcoin adopters.

Have Ver, Keiser, Voorhees, and maybe even a Winklevoss invest REAL money - bitcoin - into young bitcoin startups.

I don't think Shark Tank would be the right place to get money for any BTC-startup. Those guys are way to greedy and usually take a lot of equity, which for 'traditional' businesses is fine. However, imho I'd say that the sharks wouldn't be able to grasp the full potential that any BTC-startup could bring to the table (maybe Mark or Robert could, but they are just as greedy as the other guys).
As a marketing-pupose for Bitcoin, an appearance on Shark Tank would certainly be very nice.

But my guess would be, that it'll probably be some mobile-app or some product with a very broad audience.

Wasn't Kevin on the Canadian news months back with positive things to say about Bitcoin.   

Haven't read about that, but i guess you're right, it sounds very much like him, he'd be willing to make money on anything! The only deal, i know of, that he turned down for image-reasons was for medicinal mariuana (but who knows what he did behind the curtains).
Anyway, every if that startup wouldn't get an investment, it would be good publicity indeed.

Credit card that can transfer BTC to usable currency in seconds. Click a couple buttons to determine how much BTC you want to sell at the exchanges rate, and once it sells the currency is immedaitely available on your credit/debit card.

I guess it'd be the app + the company they would be promoting there

When would you expect a business Bitcoin related to be on Shark Tank? and what kind of business would it be(currency exchange, Mining hardware manufacturer, etc.)? All guesses are welcome Wink
