Boxing legend Mike Tyson and hip hop titan Busta Rhymes taken crypto Twitter by storm: which is better, BTC or ETH
While Bitcoin and Ethereum are vying for supremacy, boxing legend Mike Tyson is trying to figure out which dominant cryptocurrency is actually better. Besides, the cryptocurrency community might soon be joined by the hip hop titan – Busta Rhymes and Tyson.

Which is better, Bitcoin or Ethereum asked boxing legend, Mike Tyson
After the popular rapper Busta Rhymes asked around for trustworthy sources for education about digital assets, the 55-year-old took it to Twitter to see if his 5.6 million followers prefer BTC or ETH.
Which do you prefer, BTC or ETH?

Although the debate has been going on for years between the two leading cryptocurrencies, it is clear that both serve their unique purposes within the ecosystem. Tyson received numerous responses to his question, most notably from MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor.
“Mike, I spent more than a thousand hours considering this question and chose bitcoin. So far, I have purchased $2.9 billion in BTC because I think it’s the future of the digital property. I have posted tons of free Bitcoin education on http://hope.com”, Saylor tweeted.
Thousands of answers ranging from those urging him to stay away from the volatile nature of the crypto space to Bitcoin maximalists highlighting only BTC as the correct option and more balanced views of why not both. Meanwhile, the Ethereum community has started the conversation, claiming that the biggest altcoin represents the future of the internet.
The debate could have been more fruitful if it hadn’t been attacked by other altcoin communities who desperately want Tyson to notice their favorite token. Unsurprisingly, the holders of Dogecoin and its numerous offshoots (namely, BabyDoge) ended up swarming the boxer’s replies despite none of the canine coins actually being mentioned in the initial tweet.
The community offered up plenty of other crypto options including Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ripple (XRP), DOGE, and even Baby DogeCoin. However, the best explanation in the thread may is “BTC is digital gold, ETH is the future of finance, SOL is the future of finance/gaming/trading”, stated COPE creator Cyrii MM.
While celebrity testimonials no longer excite the crypto community in the age of Elon Musk, it is worth mentioning that Tyson was one of the first A-listers to jump on the Bitcoin train. The former boxer launched his first branded Bitcoin ATM in Las Vegas all the way back in 2015. In early 2016, Tyson also unveiled his own cryptocurrency wallet for iOS and Android users.

Meanwhile, Trevor George Smith Jr., better known by the stage name Busta Rhymes, has also recently dabbled in the cryptocurrency industry. Rhymes recently asked his nearly 4 million followers on Twitter whether anywhere here is into crypto?
Anyone here into #crypto? How ya’ll feeling about ?

This is the same reason Tyson had questions about Bitcoin and Ethereum.
“All jokes aside, I’m loving the vibe and energy of learning educative conversations. It all correlates to success and powerful thinking. My question is .. are they teaching or planning to teach crypto in school? What grade would be acceptable?”, Rhymes tweeted.
After more questions about Elon Musk’s role on the market and Dogecoin, in particular, he concluded that he is loving the vibe and energy of learning educative conversations. Furthermore, he wondered whether crypto will ever find a place in schools.
