# [Mark Cuban](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cuban) is an investor, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and chairman of the HDTV Cable network  AXS TV. He's also got a [great blog](http://blogmaverick.com/) and has been known to engage via email with anyone who reaches out with a good idea.

A few years back when we were launching the [Coinbase tip button](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2mnxkx/introducing_the_coinbase_tip_button/), I shot him a cold email. 

Here was the email:

He quickly responded back:

He [was right](https://community.coinbase.com/t/shutting-down-the-coinbase-tip-button/692). We proceeded to have a back and forth convo where he stated more thoughts about a tip button:

I haven't reached back out to him about Steemit yet, but I will when the time is right and it's out of beta. 

The problem he addressed with the question"how many Coinbase users are logged in at one time?" was prescient (there weren't enough) that I believe Steem could solve by being so accessible to new people (you don't need to own Steem already to use it).

# What do you think it will take to get someone like Cuban on Steemit?
