Mark Cuban Anticipates Ethereum Price To ‘Blow Up’ Soon
Billionaire investor and business tycoon Mark Cuban unveiled a game-changing catalyst that could surge Ethereum to great heights. In a tweet, the Dallas Mavericks owner told his 8.4 million followers that Ethereum (ETH) has the potential to overtake the business world.
“The reason ETH has a chance to blow up even bigger is that we have yet to really see business applications built on ETH smart contracts start to happen. When they do, every company will be ETH literate which will change the game. But layer 2s will have an important role to play too.”
Cuban also highlighted that Ethereum’s highly anticipated update to the proof-of-stake model would significantly maintain its dominance in the crypto-space.
“It’s hard to keep up with all the different options, and there really aren’t many hedging mechanisms for others. Of course, the path of [ETH] 2.0 will be important.”
Last month, Cuban had supported ETH subtly and also advised his crypto traders to buy Ethereum instead of Bitcoin.
Cuban believes that due to Bitcoin and Ethereum platforms, a lot of things will happen. Bitcoin right now has evolved as a primary store of value, and it’s challenging to use it for anything else. If you want, it can also become “Digital gold”. You can use it as a platform that enables other things, but it requires wrapping or doing various other things. Also, it acts more as collateral to gain additional utility.
Meanwhile, Ethereum has a more built-in utility in its organic and native form. The significant difference is the ability to use smart contracts organically and natively. However, it does not mean there aren’t Layer-2s on Bitcoin for creating new value and opportunities. But you have to work harder on Bitcoin than you do on Ethereum, he concluded.
