NBA Top Shot - High Risk, High Reward?

They tried that and it ended with 500k people in line for packs and most were going to instantly sell for whatever they could get and then not buy anything with the profit. That can't work long term.

Not allowing new customers access to anything but the $9 common packs with nothing but 40,000+ CC moments can’t work long term either as far as growing the platform.

Mentioned NBA teams rewarding people holding their team set in the future.

If I had to guess what gets tweaked next I think they will add more weight to TS debuts and series 1 moments, and take away some of the bonuses for stacking the floor moments.

I think it would be fair if they gave some weight to the serial number of the moment. Someone could have spent $$$ on high serials and still have the same collector score as someone who did not.

That's a very bad idea for Top Shot to make that kind of a distinction.

Everyone will have access to the $14 packs like the playoffs packs as well. I finished the Bucks team set for like $100 before they really took off. Anyone could have flipped the Playoff pack and got a good start on a team set with the funds.

A new user is now onboarded with objectives to choose their favorite team and collect any 3 moments from that team. They also see objectives for completing the full team set. There is actually a roadmap for what to do instead of just waiting for pack drops.

I think they want to avoid the collector score being just a money spent score.

I agree with both sentiments which I guess is where the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

Not going forward…Their blog post makes it seem like future playoff packs will have additional requirements (not just available via guaranteed reservation) and they might not be $14

“ Future 2021 NBA Playoff packs will not necessarily be guaranteed with a reservation, nor are they necessarily going to be $14. Only the first release is a guaranteed reservation pack. Future Moments from the 2021 NBA Playoffs set will also have an edition size of 12k or lower.”

I’ll let it go. I don’t want to get a ban for hurting your wittle feelings again.

I'll let you know when you hurt my feelings. You may be waiting for a very very long time.

I believe that just means they would be released in a drop style instead of reserving it whenever you want, but everyone would still be eligible to get in the queue.

You would think right?

But as of now I am about 2500 points shy of the requirement, due to not having some of the rarest moments.

He tried it twice, but apparently couldn't figure out how to properly edit his post.

You just need one moment of each player for the Nuggets in order to get the 3x CS bonus for each Nuggets moment.

There is no markup on serial numbers, that's all user-generated. The 100th BTC is worth the exact same as the 15,000,000th BTC

Somewhat....

However, if you are still holding BTC from before the fork, you actually have equal amounts of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin Gold.

lol the crapcoins I'll "give you". But you missed the point, if you right now had the ability to buy any available bitcoin that was out there (not including the genesis block and the non-accessible wallet), would you be paying a premium for the 100th or 1000th or 10000th btc over any other?

The answer is no.

If it was true, why didn't you leave it up? The Milwaukie Bucks just pulled a you in the 4th quarter...wilted up and faded away.
