What is more significant price wise? Bill Gates buying more BTC for his foundation (a guy from the technology area investing) or Mike Tyson opening his own ATM (a more mainstream celeb investing)?

Bill Gates of course, he moves millions, but don't understimate the power of Mike Tyson. He is not only one of the best ever in the sport of boxing, he is part of American culture and a legend, thanks to this now millions of people will be aware that at least Bitcoin exists, so this is indeed awesome news, a great publicity stunt for Bitcoin.

And never underestimate Tyson's influence to teenagers.That dude was wrestling, had cameos in several movies.Even my niece knows who Tyson is.She just got 12. But she has no clue who Bill gates is although she knows a lot about tech for her age.
So both are important I would say. Both guys bring different types of people into our ecosystem.And only that counts in the end.

Mike Tyson can knock me out 2.5 times before my cash is turned into Bitcoin? Waiting at his ATM sounds terrifying. Grin

First Lucy Liu is into bitcoin
Now Mike Tyson"s ATM
whats next? Donald Trump will launch his own coins? Grin

Oh god no, Trump is like king midas only instead of gold everything he touches turns to shit.

I was just thinking, if Mike Tyson has bitcoins, he might be an active member on these forums. Better be nice to people around here just in case!

Satoshi is rolling in his grave. #bitcoin

Mike Tyson is probably looking out to make some extra bucks because he lost most of his fortune, but none the less, this is the kind
of publicity we need to make bitcoin a trend amung young adults; which are by my thought the targeted audience. Let's just hope he doesn't screw this up Roll Eyes

I doubt it was started by Mike Tyson.
It's really likely that someone is just using it as a way to distinguish these ATMs from other Bitcoin ATMs.
If they are doing so though, it is likely that they're going to get into trouble if they ever become big.

EDIT: I was wrong. Just googled it and found an official twitter post announcing it: https://twitter.com/MikeTyson/status/624986928690036737
This is interesting, and it may be able to reach out to sufficient non-Bitcoin users due to him starting it.
But still, the question is, would an easy way to convert Bitcoin to easily usable cash convince you to start using Bitcoin? Not necessarily.
Maybe if your currency was highly volatile (even more volatile than Bitcoin !?) then maybe. But otherwise, this would appeal to only existing Bitcoin users, which seems to sorta miss the point.

Yeah i agree on what you said, but i think its still great for Tyson to be doing this, im sure people that are his fans will start wondering what bitcoin is and if it appeals to them,they will get into it

So who is going to sell him some prize racing pigeons, using only Bitcoins? I would be too scared to, because I need both of my ears. Grin

This just shows us, the older generations is still on the ball, when it comes down to ground breaking new technology. We just landed ourselves with a prize fighting legend,

and I hope he will help us fight our battles, like he did in the ring when he was still boxing!!!!

Money, it's all about money, Celebs will/can do anything for money.

he should've invested before then(around $90), seeing how we have increased to 1200, he is probably very confident that bitcoin will skyrocket again

That's pretty cool news, hope he is successful with this, and expands. He might be able to bring more mainstream people into it.

This is really great and I am sure this will bring some positives to Bitcoin and seeing Mike Tyson do this, other celebrities might follow, even if they do it to earn some money to advertise but people follow them and it will help bitcoin ultimately.
