Billionaire star of ABC's "Shark Tank" and tech entrepreneur Mark Cuban says the Dallas Mavericks, the NBA team which he owns, will soon accept bitcoin.
A Twitter user asked Cuban Monday when it would be possible to buy basketball tickets with the cryptocurrency. "Next season," the tech entrepreneur replied.
Mark, when will I be able to purchase Mavs tickets with bitcoin?
"We will be adding a crypto payment ability," Cuban tells CoinDesk. "We will accept BTC, Eth, possibly some other currencies. [That's] to be determined."
Cuban, currently worth $3.3 billion according to Forbes, has made investments in the cryptocurrency industry, but has cautioned others about buying bitcoin and its counterparts.
In October, Cuban said you should only invest what you can afford to lose.
"If you're a true adventurer and you really want tothrow the Hail Mary," says Cuban to Vanity Fair, "you might take 10 percent [of your savings] and put it in bitcoin or ethereum."
