TopShot: Blockchain comes to Collectibles

article image placeholderNBA Top Shot
Am I old in thinking that that's really not what people want to have as a collectible? I'm really curious to know. Is this something that you would invest in? Is this something that you would want? Do you understand it? It is very hard to kind of wrap your head around. Wait a minute. What is this exactly? It's a highlight. I'm paying for a highlight. I don't get it. I'll just go to YouTube and I'll watch it

A LeBron James dunk highlight sells for $208K. Does this make any sense?? https://www.nbatopshot.com/

People have their credit cards attached to their accounts and they shell out money with the hopes of getting that one coveted card, or they'll spend money so that they could build their team in other, more simple ways. All because you're trying to get that one shining card that's going to truly make a difference or something that you can later sell for more money. I'll be the first to admit I am a total sucker when it comes to these things

Digital assets the future?

So many people carry their lives on their smartphone. Pictures. What used to be photo books are now completely in your phone. And maybe it's that that is the future

Hey, Phil. So you are definitely right in that there's a market for these things. There's bragging rights. And yes. So if you do get a special card and the abilities are they give you like a point back. Right. So let's say messy, for example, has on his regular card a 92 out of 100 spade rating on a special card, he might have a 96 out of 100 pace rating. So there are upgrades

@Taylor Question on fifa

I assume if they start sliding, then they're had just taken off the market. Or do they get a new card with them being worse? I'm just trying to understand how that would work or whether you just keep who you have

And so each year you get the new FIFA, because if you're like me, you want to play with new teams and new players and see what those changes are. But I've seen players go from as high as 87 to as low as 78 in the course of a few years. And with the special cards there's, that added incentive, because let's say this year Jamie Vardy's regular card is an 86 overall
