Mark Cuban, the American Billionaire and owner of the basketball team Dallas Mavericks, predicts that dogecoin can reach $1 in the future.

Mark is a well-known entrepreneur and investor. His NBA franchise, the Mavericks, started accepting payments in crypto through BitPay two years ago. The basketball enthusiasts can buy tickets and purchase other merchandise using Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Binance USD (BUSD), Paxos Standard (PAX), and USD Coin (USDC).

BitPay facilitated the Dogecoin transaction on March 4th. This made Dallas Mavericks the first-ever merchant to accept payments in $DOGE. Mark Cuban took to  Twitter on Saturday for announcing the number of purchases made by maverick fans using $DOGE. He also predicted the possibility of dogecoin hitting $1 if basketball lovers bought 6,556,000,000 DOGE worth of Mavericks merchandise.

The Rise of Doge:

Dogecoin had its unique ‘claim to fame’ at the start of last month. Despite being created as a meme in 2013, $DOGE has shown its muscle in the crypto market. Much of this Social Media induced glory is a result of Tweets from Billionaires. The owner of Tesla, Elon Musk, had the highest contribution in pushing dogecoin’s price upwards. Elon is still bent over supporting $DOGE. He recently tweeted in favour of currency.
