Which means at least one person thinks that bitcoin, among others, will still be around a year from now.
Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks announced they will accept bitcoin and ethereum as a form of payment for tickets.
His quote to coindesk was as follows:
"We will be adding a crypto payment ability. We will accept BTC, Eth, possibly some other currencies. [That's] to be determined."
The Dallas Mavericks will be adding support for bitcoin, ethereum, as well as possibly a couple other cryptocurrencies as a means of payment?
That is a far cry from where Cuban was less than a year ago when he went on twitter saying that bitcoin was in a bubble and due to crash at any time.
Some of his more popular tweets at the time:
"I think it's in a bubble. I just don't know when or how much it corrects. When everyone is bragging about how easy they are making $=bubble"
"Anyone anywhere can buy a stock. #crypto is like gold. More religion than asset. Except of course gold makes nice jewelry. #crypto notsomuch"
"Everyone always thinks that this time is different."

Keep in mind that bitcoin was around $2k per coin at that time.
So, on a day when those around you are losing their heads, keep in mind that some out there are building for the future.
This announcement from a well connected billionaire gives some insight as to his thoughts on where he sees things a year from now.
Sounds like he thinks there might be some demand from customers to purchasetickets via crypto.
Stay informed my friends.
