Mike Tyson onboarded Solana recently: started by buying an NFT

• Former boxer recently tweeted about getting into Solana.
• He chose Dream for his crypto partnership and further tweeted promoting it.
• There are predictions that Solana would continue to eat up the market share of its big rival.  

Mike Tyson, former heavyweight Champion, very recently tweeted about him going all-in on Solana. Along with it, he also attached an NFT of a Catalina Whale, which is issued through the Solana blockchain. 

After this one, he later tweeted promoting Dream ($DREAM), which is an ERC-20 token, and further stated that ever since he has been into NFTs, he has been looking for crypto partnerships and claimed that Dream stood out. And that it can revolutionize the space and can also help with the mental health issues of the crypto community.

Reportedly in September, Mike asked Twitter about the decision whether he should go with Ethereum or Solana. And in July, he asked a similar question about Ethereum and Bitcoin to his five million followers. 

And in July, the legendary boxer announced his very first NFT line after collaborating with 1ofone, a creative agency, and the launch happened in August.

Solana, which is said to be one the leading ‘Ethereum killers’, is in quite tough competition with the former. In a recent prediction by JP Morgan and the Bank of America, both of them said that Solana might continue to grind down the market share of its rival and competitor Ethereum. But still, Solana has faced a few technical problems in the last few months, which indicates towards the dubiousness of its mainstream adoptions.

Mike Tyson, in 2015, got involved in the Bitcoin game by launching an ATM based in Las Vegas after partnering with Bitcoin Direct. But the project was criticized by scam accusations which were denied quite vehemently. In fact, later in 2016, the boxer also launched a Bitcoin wallet in collaboration with Bitcoin Direct. 

Mike Tyson has been in the world of Cryptocurrency for years now. But, It’s quite a big thing for Solana, which happens to be a pretty popular project and one of the significant Ethereum killers to get involved with such a prominent person. And this tweet can have a very positive impact on the Solana users. And because there goes a competition between Ethereum and Solana, this might add some plus points for the latter chain.
