I would not mock a legend like this.... He has a huge following in the boxing scene and also some followers from the pigeon lover community. {That does not sound quite right..}

In any way... He can bring in a new crowd of people, with his contacts in both of these communities... Just imagine, if he could manage to arrange for a fight to be paid in Bitcoin. {The prize money.. that is}  Wink

If they bought that amount of Bitcoin to fund the prize, we would get loads of exposure.  Grin

He also bit off a guys ear and was convicted of Rape.. among other things.

he is really pro bitcoin, and he certainly seems switched on to the tech generation,

in the Wallet descrition he says Bitcoin will soon be the currency we use!



I'm not sure if he really is an crypto enthusiast. I believe he is again just giving his name and face for the purpose of marketing.I don't know about his actual financial situation, that might play a role.
But it's cool though.Tyson goes crypto! Grin



My first reaction after finding Tyson giving his name and face for the new wallet was hopefully the wallet operator wont stole the Bitcoins and fucks Tyson reputation this way. But hopefully the new wallet is legit and will be operating longterm like coinbase for example.

Rest assured that Mike Tyson listens to everything expressed about Bitcoin with his three ears.

It's pretty strange that they hired the services of Mike Tyson as a face of their company. Everyone knows about his not so good past but most know him as a very good boxer a knock out artist to be exact but having him as a face sounds strange.

Can't find anything on google about this.. Where did you get the information from?

Would've expected quite some news coverage from something like this.

It's starting to get covered by big sites, and Google's starting to spider through the stories. It's on the time website, and that's a big achievement. All the other big websites will follow time's lead and be doing their own stories on the wallet tomorrow. Tyson's wallet's good publicity for bitcoin.

Notice that it's a fork of the Copay code. I'm OK with this.

Really interesting, somebody the majority of people wouldn't expect to be involved in Bitcoin, very welcome though.

I don't understand...

Was Mike Tyson a early adopter? Is he funding this new online "wallet" of sorts, so people can buy directly through him?  Or is he using another exchange site that goes through his wallet?

Regardless, it's interesting... but I won't be using it, because it looks like it's exactly like coinbase, circle, etc.  ... and I don't even trust them completely; let alone me trusting fucking MIKE TYSON with my funds and linking my bank account and everything there. Haha, times are getting weird in crypto land I suppose... Tongue

I knew there was a Mike Tyson affiliated bitcoin ATM. Didn't know about this though.

I wonder how he got into bitcoin or are people just paying him to advertise these things for them?

I wonder if he genuinely has any interest in bitcoin himself?

I have these same questions.  It is great that he is into it but it escapes me how he is all in?  Don't really think of him as a techie.  Again, who cares! Great press for Bitcoin.

This is just a marketing move, I want to see an interview with him personally addressing Bitcoin, until then I will just keep assuming that he gave permission for his public image to be used in this marketing campaign to attract more viewers, that's all there's to it unless Mike surprises us and it turns out he is actually into it and somewhat knowledgeable.

Yes I've given a little thought about it and imagine if someone like Di Caprio starts talking about Bitcoin. I mention Di Caprio because he is a huge enviromentalist, but you get the point. People will associate BTC with something cool and on vogue. Perhaps it's not the best though, it could backlash really quick and turn Bitcoin into a trend.
