Like Dirk – Treffsicherer NBA-Fan gewinnt 100.000 US-Dollar in Bitcoin
Wie einst Dirk Nowitzki: Mavs-Fan Isaiah Stone räumt für seine Wurfkünste 100.000 US-Dollar ab.
Ein Fan des ehemaligen Nowitzki-Teams Dallas Mavericks hat im Rahmen einer Pausenshow, die von der Krypto-Brokerage Voyager Digital gesponsert wurde, 100.000 US-Dollar in Bitcoin (BTC) gewonnen.
Um in den Besitz der beträchtlichen Summe von Voyager Digital zu kommen, musste der Mann namens Isaiah Stone zunächst jedoch seine Wurfkünste mit dem Basketball unter Beweis stellen. Es galt einen Freiwurf, einen Dreipunktewurf und einen Wurf von der Mittellinie mit jeweils nur einem Versuch zu versenken. Dieses Kunststück gelang und Stone räumte somit „den größten Geldpreis“ ab, den die Dallas Mavericks jemals vergeben haben.

On Wednesday, Voyager Digital entered into a five-year partnership deal with Mark Cuban’s Dallas Mavericks to increase crypto exposure among NBA fans through various fan engagement promotions.
As Cointelegraph reported, the crypto trading platform will also have naming rights over the franchise’s Mavs Gaming Hub in Dallas, a venue for the Mavs NBA 2K League team. According to Cuban:
“Our partnership with Voyager will allow Mavs and NBA fans to learn more about Voyager and how they can earn more from Voyagers‘ platform than from traditional financial applications.”
In addition, the NBA franchise’s rewards program allows fans to buy merchandise and win rewards in cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin (DOGE).
