The motivations of the champion Dellavedova
Matthew Dellavedova, NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, is a fervent defender of Bitcoin. He invested in cryptocurrency as early as 2017 and has since promoted Bitcoin through his social media.
According to Dellavedova, Swan Bitcoin appeals to him because of its simple and accessible approach to buying and selling BTC. He also says he is impressed by Swan Bitcoin's vision, particularly that of a world where everyone has access to the benefits of cryptocurrency.
“I believe bitcoin is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to transform the way we think about money […]. I look forward to working with the Swan Bitcoin team to help bring bitcoin to the world,” said Dellavedova.

The world of crypto extends to the world of sport
Dellavedova's transition from the basketball court to the bitcoin arena is a sign of the growing interest in cryptocurrency in the industry. More and more public figures, including athletes, musicians, and entrepreneurs, are using their influence to promote crypto. It's with Mark Cuban, a notorious BasketBall figure who shows interest in bitcoin.
Besides, Dellavedova has a great reach, especially in Australia, where he is a popular basketball player. It is likely that its association with Swan Bitcoin will help raise awareness of bitcoin in these regions.
Additionally, the NBA champion is an accomplished leader and a passionate advocate for bitcoin. As such, he could use his influence to promote bitcoin adoption beyond Australia.
In short, Dellavedova's decision to join Swan Bitcoin shows that the sports world is very interested in cryptocurrencies. Other high-profile athletes, such as LeBron James and Serena Williams, have also expressed their support for Bitcoin.
