It came out in 2007, but it wasn\u2019t until the best apps like Instagram and Snapchat and Facebook went mobile, that the App Store and the iPhone really took off. Crypto is still waiting for its Instagram moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Cuban argued that the market is currently underperforming.<\/p>\n<p>However, he drew comparisons to other industries, such as the internet stock market crash, when companies like Amazon and Microsoft experienced significant setbacks before rebounding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not gonna tell you what you should or shouldn\u2019t do, other than to say with NFTs, the best time to buy is when you\u2019re a collector and you love the NFT,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Cuban Talks Wealth and Taxes<\/h2>\n<p>\nDuring the interview, Cuban also shared his insights on wealth, taxes, and the potential of cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n<p>For one, the billionaire emphasized the role of luck in achieving billionaire status, stating that luck plays a significant part in the journey to extreme wealth.<\/p>\n<p>He debunked the notion that billionaires can easily replicate their success, highlighting the importance of fortunate circumstances in their achievements.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing a strong belief in the responsibility of the super-rich, Cuban advocated for billionaires to pay higher taxes.<\/p>\n<p>He acknowledged the contributions of the country and the infrastructure that enables success, emphasizing that paying taxes is a patriotic duty.<\/p>\n<p>According to Cuban, wealth should be accompanied by a willingness to contribute to the betterment of society.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how he would make money from scratch with limited resources, Cuban emphasized his sales skills.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that he would seek a sales job and strive to become the best salesperson in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Cuban also discussed the potential business opportunities presented by technologies like Alexa and language models such as ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested that individuals could leverage their knowledge of these technologies to provide services and training to others.<\/p>\n<p>For example, teaching people how to optimize the use of Alexa in their homes or guiding businesses in utilizing ChatGPT for their operations.\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo if you just get involved and stay ahead, you\u2019re gonna be the person in demand, selling your services on how to prompt ChatGPT to help a business, or even to tutor kids on how to best use it for school.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"newsletter home-newsletter single\">\n<div class=\"left-side\">\n<p>\n        <em><br \/>\n            Enter your email for our Free Daily Newsletter        <\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<p> A quick 3min read about today&#8217;s crypto news!<\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"response-msg\" id=\"newsletter-response\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/billionaire-mark-cuban-crypto-needs-a-grandma-friendly-app-to-thrive-heres-the-latest.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source: YouTube \/ ABC Billionaire investor Mark Cuban has stressed the need for a \u201cgrandma-friendly\u201d crypto application that would attract widespread adoption.
