People planning to attend Houston Texans games will now be able to purchase single game suites with Bitcoin
BitWallet became the team’s official partner as a digital currency wallet to expand their entertainment sales. Since the recent announcement, the Texans have already sold a suite through Crypto to a digital marketing firm, EWR Digital.
“We are proud to partner with BitWallet to provide an exciting option for our fans looking to enjoy Texas game day in one of our suites,” said Houston Texans President, Greg Grissom. “BitWallet is a perfect partner as we continue our efforts to move our organization forward in new and innovative ways.”
BitWallet allows you not only to buy Bitcoin, but also to send it anywhere in the world.
“Digital currency has become a primary means of payment, and by partnering with BitWallet, the Texans are leading the way in the NFL,” said BitWallet CEO John Perrone. “I am honored that BitWallet is the first to offer Texans fans this service.”
The Tennessee Titans are the second team to also announce that Bitcoin can be used through purchases with their own unique partnership.

To gain insight, I spoke with Colin Yurcisin, the founder of Leveraged Lifestyle, Leveraged Mining and Leveraged Investments. Leveraged Mining, Yurcisin’s new business, was created to help spread bitcoin. His dream is to help 10,000 people mine bitcoin using the company’s hands-free model.
With his specific expertise and focus now as Bitcoin mining, Yurcisin had a unique perspective on Texan adoption.

“It opens up a spectrum of possibilities for how Bitcoin can be connected and established in mainstream society.” He said.
“The NFL is one of the biggest sports leagues in the world, and now that more teams are opening up to using cryptocurrency for paying customers, you’re likely to see a snowball effect in many other places. The transactions are also reduced (at least for the teams) because the final currency is still in fiat.”
Yurcisin wants to make bitcoin mining easy for the average person, so there is an incentive to adopt crypto carriers across popular entertainment elements.
Yurcisin added, “The best thing about our business is that we use industrial power at incredibly cheap prices, we build out our immersion cooling systems which is our biggest competitive advantage over other mining companies.”

“Immersion cooling is the most efficient way to mine bitcoin,” he continued, “The reason for this is because you remove the fan from the miner, which is the single biggest point of failure, and then you dip the miners in immersion cooling. fluid that allows them to run in their most efficient state.”
“We also charge all our costs up front on our mining packages with our customers, so there is no risk of us having to shut down our rigs because they are not profitable. We charge the miner, electricity and maintenance up front so we have the money to buy our equipment, invest in infrastructure, pay staff and ensure we can deliver the promised TH/S amount the customer has paid for over the four year contract.”
The company’s mission to make mining accessible to everyone is a potential precursor to creating industry and societal influence to make the currency easier to use everywhere.
Yurcisin concluded, “Most mining companies are shutting down their machines right now and selling bitcoin during the bear market, and we’re doing the opposite. We’re building to be the best, and from teams like the Houston Texans, you see the growth in understanding the market is changing.”
