"Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of the Raptors, and [I'll] move to LA with lower NBA salary, but much happier financially off the court after this", Leonard explained to CNN. "I thought, 'Well, that's enough.' And why not go out with something that's very upbeat and positive?" The project he is referring to is the automated trading platform he's deeply invested in which was recently showcased in Dragons' Den by two best friends from university.

A user would simply make an intial deposit into the platform, usually of CAD 250 or more, and the automated trading algorithm would go to work. Using a combination of data and machine learning, the algorithm would know the perfect time to buy bitcoin low and sell high, maximizing the user's profit.
The entrepreneurial pair backed by Kawhi intend to make money from their platform by charging a small commission on only the profits a user generates. They asked the Dragons for CAD 200,000 for 25% of the company, valuing the company at CAD 800,000.
To demonstrate the power of their company's platform the entrepreneurs had Michele Romanow deposit CAD 250 live on the show.
"I've heard about Bitcoin and the massive amount of money you can make from it, but I've never bought any. I no idea where to start. This was really easy, I can just use my credit card to deposit money and it buys them for me." Janine said.
After her initial deposit for CAD 250 was made, the trading platform went to work buying low and selling high. Within 3 minutes, she had successfully increased her initial funds to CAD 323.18. That's a CAD 73.18 profit.
All the Dragons were immediately impressed by how easy it was to make money. The platform handles all the trading work automatically and because the price of Bitcoin is quite volatile, there are numerous opportunities to profit.

"Bitcoin is so hot right now and if even somebody like Janine, no offence Janine, can make money from it, I'm all in. I need to have a piece of this. I'm going to make a huge offer, CAD 2 million for 25% of the company." Michael Wekerle said.
Before the entrepreneurs even had a chance to respond to O'Leary's offer, Michele Romanow interrupted and said with a smile on her face: "I've gone up to CAD 398.42 after just 8 minutes".
Although at this point all 5 Dragons were ready to invested, a bidding war quickly emerged between Jim Treliving and Michael Wekerle. Richards improved on O'Leary's offer, by CAD 2.5 million for 25%, whereas O'Leary hit back with a revised valuation of CAD 2.5 million for 20%, effectively valuing the company at CAD 12.5 million.
After some minor back-and-forth discussion, the entrepreneurs quickly accepted, making this the biggest deal in the history of Dragons' Den.
We decided to put Bitcoin Era to the test, to see if it was really possible for you to make money using the platform.
We quickly discovered that the platform charges a commission of 2% on profits a user generates and you need to make a minimum deposit of CAD 250 to get started. That money will be your initial investment, which the trading software uses to trade.
Also, we learnt that Bitcoin Era makes money by buying when the price goes up ANDwhen the price goes down. This is know as short-selling and the platform handles it for you automatically.
I decided to sign up for an account with Bitcoin Era, I made the initial deposit CAD 250 and set my account to active.
