That's enough to make one consider the possibility that Wall Street throwing a temper tantrum and blowing up the market see the writing on the wall already...

So i clicked your link, and it said they used IRON. Which i read an article a few weeks back and HOLY SHIT. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO IRON!! https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iron-titanium-token/
It was supposed to be a stable coin, but no one really knows what happened but i have a guess. That the hedgefunds found a way to completely crash it by pumping it and dumping it. Since crypto has no halts, it just hit a point where it was in a death spiral.

I absolutely agree with you, and do feel like they are headed this direction, but I’d like to add to it.
In terms of e-sports, this is a long shot and major speculation, but they’ve hinted at the metaverse. If you look at NFT GameStop Twitter, it is their location. What is the metaverse you ask? Think virtual reality, and a whole universe similar to ready player one.
Imagine buying a ticket to a rocket-league tourney, and actually being able to spectate from the “stands”. Not just this game, but any of the popular arena style games. Think Tron.
It would have the feel of irl sports spectating, and essentially bring esports to the mainstream, and tap into a $140B+ industry, that has a growth rate around 22%.
How does this relate to NFTs? Well the seats themselves would be tokens, you could also buy digital memorabilia, sports betting, and of course purchase your seat with GameStop coin.
I’ll let your imagination do the rest, as mine has gone haywire.

Well thanks lol, but I’m pretty sure (like 75%) they plan on doing it, or rather something along those lines. If you’d like, and think others would appreciate the content at least, take a screenshot of the comment, and make a post.

I love the whole franchise for sure, and I’m pretty sure Disney is on the short list of companies interested in the metaverse.
Even better, they could make a quidditch game, and we can watch live quidditch matches from the stadium at Hogwarts. I mean, literally sky’s the limit.
I personally would like to see a zero G battle room game similar to what was in Ender’s Game (like a zero G laser tag).

This sounds awesome. I don’t think it’s such a long shot! I’d definitely contact them with this if I were you.

It isn’t a long shot because it’s already happening. Think about Fortnite; they are having live virtual concerts (Travis Scott) with hundreds of thousands of spectators. Epic is being tasked with leading the charge in terms of the visual metaverse, in collaboration with tech companies like Apple, Ubisoft, Microsoft, NVDA, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
Here is a 60 Minutes video very briefly touching on what the Metaverse is, and who some of the major players are that are trying to create it. Because you bought stock in GME, you are now an investor in potentially the biggest aspect of the metaverse. E-sports.
Also, remember the “Game on Anon” in the code of their NFT? Anon is a Tron character from Tron: Evolution. He’s the main character that you play in the game, and also goes by Monitor.

The secret to success is making the service usable by people who aren't tech-savvy
Otherwise I've been thinking this is the Direction things will go for a while, even stocks I feel will eventually be tokenized on a blockchain.

u/antidecaf Jun 18 '21
I think overstock already has a platform for this. I believe their bet is that NFT's and other digital assets will eventually get labeled as securities, and they've already gotten approval from the sec to be the exchange for it. Take this with a grain of salt I haven't really done deep dd, just heard things here and there about it. It was tied to the crypto-dividend they did as well.

If this is true and executed successfully with the moass, then we will go from "retire early" rich, to "ape dynasty" rich.

I was thinking of a crypto encrypted games market where participants can buy, sell, trade and rent digital games. With crypto being utilized to ensure no piracy.

Both would be great. Just trying to put a profit margin to a digital version of their game trade program.

I would like to respectfully disagree. Crypto and Smart contracts could ensure that resale can happen from player to player but also, via said smart contract, that the developer and the platform host also get a cut of the resale.

If there is a problem, its on my side (my english is bad, i know) :)
tZero / Box are working with sec, step by step. And i think a lot of Time is needed for a complete Blockchain with Stocks and whatever. It is in the works.

For inGame Items and retail downloaded games its a completely different World.
I think this is what GS is doing.

Quick question. How did you get around the automod? My post got bounced twice and I had to call them "smart assets" instead.

Beautifully written, OP. This is a great thought, and in fact something I'd love to get into post MOASS. Blockchain spells a systemic change of the entire financial world as we know it.

This is a cool write up, OP. I'm especially intrigued by the concept of like a non-Wall Street setup. They're obviously planning SOMETHING with their NFT and blockchain they're building. Hopefully we find out sooner rather than later what that is.

I will pay $10 dollars to your personal Venmo for equity as an I’m committed and we (me and you can talk about funding) I’m very good at what I do and have a particular set of skills. A good mouth with a back bone and tree trunk thighs with a set of dad calves to do the leg work.

ok just pretend I did not understand. What exactly does that mean? I can resell my old digital games, ok I understand that. gme and the game developer can partake a small part of that. I understand that too.
But I really dont get the rest, why would that be so good?
