Self-made billionaire Mark Cuban says new innovations and companies will come out of the pandemic, creating an “America 2.0,” as he calls it.
“At the beginning of the pandemic, as awful as it’s been, I talked about companies that we’re going to look back [on] in 10 or 15 years that were created” during this time, Cuban told Real Vision founder and CEO Raoul Pal in an interview published Feb. 9.
And according to Cuban, investor on ABC’s “Shark Tank” and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, one of those things will be the evolution of blockchain technology and the companies that follow from it.
“What we’re seeing right now with this communal effort and the foundation of blockchain-type applications that people stuck at home can use to try to make money ... just changed the game 180 degrees,” he said.
If you don’t understand blockchain, Cuban said, “it’s going to smack you down and make you bleed.”
Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that documents transactions, like cryptocurrency, and it’s development reminds Cuban of the “early days of the internet.”
“It’s like the early days of the internet – brand new, no one really knows what it’s going to be. [There’s] a lot of projections,” he said. ”[W]hen we were starting AudioNet, that turned into Broadcast.com, I can’t tell you how many times everybody said, ‘Internet broadcasting? There’s no chance. I don’t need this internet craziness to do this.’ A lot of people thought we were crazy.”
In 1995, Cuban and a friend, Todd Wagner, started an internet radio company called Broadcast.com. Despite its naysayers, in 1999, Broadcast.com was acquired by Yahoo for $5.7 billion in stock, and in turn, made Cuban a very wealthy man.
Cuban pointed out that blockchain and internet companies, like his Broadcast.com, have similarities. “It’s got the same feel of the early days of the internet.”
For example, “it took time ... before bandwidth became available and cheap enough so that streaming and cord-cutting could really happen. That was 20 years into the internet, give or take, and we’re only 10, 12 years into crypto after starting with bitcoin,” he said.
So for other cryptocurrencies, like ether; transactional blockchain; or smart contracts, “there’s a long way to go, and there will be a lot of companies that don’t work, but you’re going to get some winners!”
Cuban himself has recently auctioned digital goods online, including a Mavs Suns Game Day Experience video, via crypto tokens called an NFTs, or non‑fungible tokens.
“I put up some videos that the Mavs had done for sale,” he said. “I sold them for a lot more than I expected to.”
Mintable, the digital marketplace Cuban used to auction his digital goods, rewarded Cuban with “resale commission” to reflect his copyright ownership of the good, he said. “And when I saw that, I fell in love.”
“That’s what’s been missing in the conveyance of all goods forevermore. Again, it’s the same feeling of the early days of the internet.”
The evolution of blockchain and digital goods are the future of business, according to Cuban.
“Now this is America 2.0. This is money 2.0. And I don’t mean currency money, I mean being able to earn money via digital has all changed. The only thing we don’t know is who are the Amazons and who are the Pets.coms,” a pet food and supplies company that flopped after the dot-com bubble burst.
Although Cuban is unsure how long it’ll take, or what companies will master blockchain, he is certain that “disruptors will win. We just don’t know which or exactly how they’ll win, but they’ll win,” he said.
“They always do. I don’t see any horse and buggies. I don’t see any CD manufacturers doing real well.”

以下是 GOOGLE TRANSLATE 文章:自製的億萬富翁馬克·庫班（Mark Cuban）表示，大流行病將帶來新的創新和公司，創造出他所說的“美國2.0 ”。
古巴告訴Real Vision創始人兼首席執行官Raoul：“在大流行初期，我曾談到公司將在10或15年內回顧過去，這真是太糟糕了。”帕爾在2月9日發布的一次採訪中。
根據古巴銀行（ABC的“鯊魚坦克”的投資者，達拉斯小牛隊的所有者）的說法，其中之一將是區塊鏈技術的發展以及隨之而來的公司。
他說：“通過這種共同的努力，我們現在看到的是人們困在家裡的區塊鏈類型應用程序的基礎，他們可以用來嘗試賺錢……只是將游戲改變了180度，”他說。
庫班說，如果您不了解區塊鏈，“它會打垮您並讓您流血。”
區塊鍊是一種去中心化的數字賬本，記錄了諸如加密貨幣之類的交易，它的發展使古巴人想起了“互聯網的早期”。
“這就像是互聯網的早期–全新，沒人真正知道它將會是什麼。（有很多預測，”他說。“ [當我們啟動AudioNet時，它變成了Broadcast.com，我無法告訴大家多少次，’互聯網廣播？沒有機會了 我不需要這種網絡瘋狂來做到這一點。” 許多人認為我們瘋了。”
1995年，Cuban和朋友Todd Wagner創立了一家名為Broadcast.com的互聯網廣播公司。儘管有反對意見，但1999年，Broadcast.com被雅虎以57億美元的股票收購，這反過來又使古巴成為了一個非常富有的人。
庫班指出，像他的Broadcast.com一樣，區塊鍊和互聯網公司也有相似之處。“它具有互聯網初期的感覺。”
例如，“花了一些時間...帶寬才變得可用和足夠便宜，以至於流媒體和剪線確實可以發生。不管是付出還是接受，進入互聯網已有20年了，從比特幣開始，我們進入加密時代只有10、12年。”
因此，對於其他加密貨幣，例如以太幣；交易區塊鏈; 或智能合約，“還有很長的路要走，會有許多公司無法運作，但您將獲得一些贏家！”
古巴本人最近 通過稱為NFT的加密令牌或不可替代的令牌在線拍賣了 數字商品，包括Mavs Suns Game Day Experience視頻 。
他說：“我放了一些小牛隊出售的錄像帶。” “我賣出的價格比我預期的要高得多。”
他說，古巴人過去用來拍賣他的數字產品的數字市場Mintable給予古巴“轉售佣金”，以反映他對商品的版權所有權。“當我看到那件事時，我墜入愛河。”
“這就是永遠運送所有貨物所缺少的。同樣，這與互聯網早期的感覺一樣。”
古巴表示，區塊鍊和數字商品的發展是商業的未來。
現在是美國2.0。這是金錢2.0。我不是說貨幣，而是通過數字賺錢的能力已經發生了改變。我們唯一不知道的是誰是亞馬遜，誰是Pets.com，這是一家寵物食品和用品公司，在網絡泡沫破滅後倒閉了。
儘管Cuban不確定將花費多長時間，或者哪些公司將掌握區塊鏈，但他確信“顛覆者將獲勝。我們只是不知道他們會贏得哪種或確切的方式，但是他們會贏得勝利。”他說。
“他們總是這樣做。我看不到任何馬車。我看不到任何CD製造商的表現都很好。”
