    Polygon (MATIC) coin on the rise – Now being supported by Mark Cuban

    The billionaire investor Mark Cuban has now revealed to officially support Polygon crypto. Mark Cuban Companies website has issued a disclosure which revealed that the billionaire is backing the cryptocurrency. Since being a critic in the bull of 2017, Mark Cuban has come a long way and now is an avid supporter of the cryptocurrency and blockchain sphere. The investor thinks the technology possesses a lot of potentials and says the future of the industry is bright.

    Polygon (MATIC) rose to popularity in the bull run of 2021 as did a lot of otherwise unknown cryptocurrencies. Some of the cryptocurrencies stole the limelight because of their return on investment while others because of their technology and offering. Polygon is the latter of the two. The cryptocurrency quickly rose through the ranks and now stands at the thirteenth in the market in terms of capitalization.

    The project is one of the first ones from India. India had been not as active in the cryptocurrency sphere because of the Reserve Bank of India’s rigid yet confused stance on cryptocurrencies. India is considered one of the most powerful developing economies and its absence from the crypto sphere had been taken note of. A development team from India originated the Polygon network and it did not disappoint.

    Polygon is a layer-1 scaling solution designed to enhance the capabilities and efficiency of the Ethereum network. The multi-chain scaling solution has been tackling the problems that layer-1 and layer-2 solutions had been facing well. The user base of the cryptocurrency had been recorded to grow at an unprecedented pace.

    At the time of writing, MATIC stands at a price level of $2.24. The price of cryptocurrency has climbed up by 30% in the past twenty-four hours. The daily trading volume is also on the rise

    From a crypto sceptic to staunch believer: Billionaire Mark Cuban

    The American entrepreneur, Mark Cuban, is a cryptocurrency believer. Cuban has revealed his cryptocurrency portfolio comprising 60% Bitcoin, 30% Ethereum, and 10% other altcoins. The billionaire believes Ethereum (ETH) to be the “closest to a true currency” while citing Bitcoin as a better alternative to gold. Per the entrepreneur, Bitcoin is better suited as a store of value and a safe haven asset – like gold but better. And Ethereum, with its scalability, is ideal for transactionary demand – making it a viable currency.

    The tech billionaire hadn’t always been big on cryptocurrencies. Cuban has been vocal about the absence of any intrinsic value of Bitcoin, at the same time, he compared Bitcoin to gold – stating both gold and Bitcoin will serve to real purpose to an average investor, rather pose problems because of their complications. Cuban’s comment “I’d rather have bananas” on Bitcoin and gold had become quite famous.

    Now, with the cryptocurrency market in a boom primarily due to the popularity of the decentralized block chain technology, the billionaire like many others have had a shift in fundamentals and is now a staunch believer of cryptocurrencies as well as their underlying technology. Cuban pointed out towards the decentralized technology of cryptocurrencies and how that has the potential to become the “next big thing” in a growingly connected world.
