Is this the biggest pump and dump of all time? I genuinely don’t get it. The first thing I’ve come across that’s made me feel old (if it’s not a massive pump and dump).

    Can someone explain why I can't just do this using the internet? Is there value for me in having the NBA license "a moment"? Don't I just want to watch it? Do I need them for this?

    Is this bitcoin again?

    I love all the doomsday economists who predict how fucked we are from Corona when people are buying shit like NBA "moments" and Pokemon cards with the money they so desperately need.

    To be fair, the only people I know seriously buying topshot are the DFS people I follow. They all have a similar path over the last 10-15 years.

    Win money in online poker
    Invest in crypto
    Sell for massive profit, get into dfs in early days and win big

    Now they bounce around from these random markets like topshot, get in early, drive the price up, get out. Some of these guys legit made hundreds of millions from btc so it’s just play money to them I guess.

    I have the same question. Do I get royalties each time my "moment" is viewed by someone on the internet? I don't understand why someone would pay $7,700 for a Tyler Herro layup highlight.

    It is fucking insane. No you don’t get royalties. A ja morant dunk went for 75k the other day.

    Then it doesn't sound like I own it.

    I half wonder if this isn’t the NBA trying to prop up their shitty product the same way Fantasy Football drives the NFL.

    Nobody gives a shit about the NBA, much less some licensing highlight of it.
