Bitcoin or Ethereum? Crypto cops ensnare Mike Tyson


Mike Tyson is curious about crypto. Apparently he commutes between Bitcoin and Ethereum – and now asks crypto-Twitter for advice.

Living legend Mike Tyson hung up his boxing gloves a long time ago. But now “Iron Mike” is targeting a new arena, which is also used to fight hard. On Twitter, “The baddest man on the planet” asked its 5.6 million fans a question that all crypto newbies will sooner or later face. Bitcoin or Ethereum?

This gives “Kid Dynamite” a starting point for crypto Twitter. In the forefront – how could it be otherwise – Microstrategy boss Michael Saylor is promoting the number 1 crypto currency. He has already asked himself the question of “Bitcoin or Ethereum”, said Saylor in his answer to the earlobe gourmet. After intensive research, his choice finally fell on Bitcoin.

Mike, I thought about this question for more than a thousand hours and decided to go with Bitcoin. So far, I’ve bought $ 2.9 billion in BTC because I think it’s the future of digital property. […]

Saylor referred to his specially set up Bitcoin education portal Hope.com. Twitter and Square boss Jack Dorsey also insisted on making an offer of help to Mike Tyson. Dorsey, who recently announced a new platform for the marriage of Bitcoin to DeFi, left it with a link to a collection of sources for information about Bitcoin.

“Everyone is gonna kid you”

Meanwhile, Richard Heart, the founder of the crypto platform HEX, has a completely different flow. Heart breaks a lance for the Ethereum network, which in his opinion is superior to Bitcoin in every respect:


Mike, everyone is going to fool you and try to sell you what they’ve already bought. If you are interested in features, ETH. If you are interested in the course, ETH. If you are interested in decentralization, ETH. Scaling? ETH. Roadmap? ETH. Founders Supporting Charity? ETH.

If you follow the logic of Hearts, then the Bitcoin minimalist himself should have a bulging ether wallet. In the case of Calvyin Ayre, one of the most prominent propagandists of the Bitcoin Cash Fork Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV), Hearts warning also applies. BSV is Bitcoin, so Ayre in his reply to the iron Michel, and works better than BTC and ETH.

Bitcoin or Ethereum? Why choose?

Meanwhile, there are even more moderate voices who do not see Bitcoin and Ethereum in direct competition. This also includes Jay Hao, the head of the Bitcoin exchange Okex.

As the operator of a coin exchange office, Hao doesn’t care what technology the ruble is based on – the main thing is that it rolls.

Whether Mike Tyson will opt for Bitcoin, Ethereum or both is still open. This also applies to any effects of his decision on the Bitcoin price. However, one can confidently doubt that this would develop a wearing width comparable to that of the large-caliber entries from Microstrategy, PayPal or Tesla.
