Funny story.
In 2021, I ran the Twitter handle @sketchcards
Gary Vee slid into my DM's to discuss the future of sketch cards
(this was before the first VeeFriends drop).

Unrelated, but my Twitter account was later hacked & hijacked so I never really got to connect on a good level; but it's interesting to see he is still into sketch cards.

Heads up, for those actually interested, there's a Sapphire Edition too.

I came across the details (to be eligible for them) on another site the other day, can't remember where but you can probably find it with a simple search.

If you are a Gift Goat holder, you can already claim your 1 pre-order box. I don't have any idea what that means.

I think this product is so so stupid, but there are a lot of stupid people out there and the bolded part could provide some rocket fuel for pumpers depending on who draws. Influencers are masters at selling stupidity as entertainment and this could be a pinnacle stupidity moment for all.

It's a product designed for kids, but meant to be sold to adults to sell to other adults under the pretense that kids want it, even though none will make it into kids hands. Fun.

Haha yeah, that sounds like what I read.

Like you, I have no clue what it means.

Gift Goat is one of the VeeFriends NFTs. Holders of that NFT are entitled to one free Sapphire box.

From what I found on the Google machine, a Gift Goat NFT is now selling for upwards of 3.2 WETH, which is . . . gulp . . . $5000

I also found this amazing video of Gary V creating the Gift Goat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt9ErmRkZ5c . Really, just incredible amazing quality stuff

Gotta give it to the guy, using his influence to make bank on his 1-minute doodles.

Incredible hustler!

This is a perfect summary. Gary Vee is trying to engineer the next SpongeBob. The problem is that Gary Vee cannot create SpongeBob, even if he wants to and has hired people to help him, even if he spends money creating content based on his characters, even if he gets his product in stores.

He’s a hustler. He doesn’t care as long as what he’s getting out is more than what he’s putting in.

Things like this make me hate being a collector. It's so eye-rolling. I know on a fundamental level it doesn't impact me whatsoever because I will never buy any of it. But I still hate it.

...also they put it behind EQL so everyone has a "fair shot" at it, yet the releases that have actual demand they just feed to the bots.

The term pump and dump will not come close to describing what will happen with these. We need new words for what is coming. I'll be watching for the fun factor.

Feels like a bad time to be dropping these, crypto people are all poor right now which I think is the main buyers (not entirely sure). Price point isn't too bad though. I'll take a shot on 2.

Any crypto person who didn't cash out (at least temporarily) when Bitcoin hit 100k is a moron. Who knows, it may go to a million, but it was obviously going to take a dip after hitting that mark. That is how the smart ones are making money. Running it up, selling when new heights are met, and then waiting for the pullback to buy more and do it again.

Haven't all the other EQL offerings had a 1 hour window to enter?

Yes they have- keeping it open this long gives ample time for new customers.

They likely expanded the EQL window because they knew 1 hour wouldn't be enough time to sell enough boxes (and couldn't offload enough of the leftovers to the other retailers).
