Some analysts think that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, in general, will play the role “digital gold” in the future. It means people will use digital currencies as a haven during an internal and external crisis. Protests in Hong Kong, which continues for several months, are an excellent example of how the protests might affect the crypto currency market.

Even though the Bitcoin price dropped almost 10% the last week in Hong Kong, its price is on the rise. According to Bitcoin advocates, this fact once more than underlines the importance of Bitcoin. Users who want to learn about the ongoing situation can use Reddit cryptocurrency and other sources.

Last year owner of the team, Mark Cuhan, said that fans would be able to use cryptocurrencies to pay for tickets. Dallas Mavericks kept its word and from now on fans can pay for the tickets by digital currencies.
