NBA Top Shot Thread - kind of like sports card + crypto, seems money to be made.... (2 Viewers)

TopShot has been busted by the community again….. for the most recent challenge reward (Mitchell Throwdown), the serial numbers weren’t assigned randomly.  There were assigned based on when each user joined TS.  So the earliest user received serial #1 and the latest user received the last serial number. Luckily everything is on blockchain so someone was able to call them out on it.  Now the serial numbers for all previous rewards are being questioned.

The sooner TS goes away the better. 

Love they continue promote on Twitter like nothing's happened. Hope they get the #### sued out of them.  

 

[ShamrockPride]

I sold off the last of my moments a few days ago. Just started the process of withdrawing. Honestly....no longer having to deal with this crap feels very freeing. Huge weight off my shoulder.

 

[Navin Johnson]

oh TS.....

Got busted giving inside info on Collectors Scores/bonuses......

Call me stunned shady #### going on....

Wonder if these are the same guys that created Absolute Poker.

 

[McBokonon]

Jesus you guys are ####### dense.

Wow. If this is true that has to be the end of them.

"Super-users"

 

[GroveDiesel]

Wow, that sucks. No idea how anyone could have seen this coming.

Detailed analysis of yesterday's incident

TopShot admitting the mistake and making amends with those who participated in the challenge

 

[Harry Frogfish]

Well I've recently lost money hand over fist.  Probably should have sold out of all this 2 months ago.  Luckily I made a few bucks on a few big trades, which has offset most (all?) of my losses.

 Not to defend the model here, but you nerds totally aren’t getting it.  The particular moment in a shot doesn’t matter.  You card dorks aren’t valuing a Mickey Mantle card because he looks particularly handsome in the photo. IT DOESN’T ####### MATTER what the photo or moment is. It’s not the point. 
 

Jesus you guys are ####### dense. 

I'm gonna have to sort of go ahead and, uh, disagree with you there.

Love to call others dorks and nerds while I amass my digital highlight clips empire. 

   Fun thread!

I'm up about 62% trading in nothing but season 2 commons

And got to love the "We're now down for maintenance. So we can find another way to rig this ####"

"Admitting mistake" and "Making amends" BTW 

No #######s you got CAUGHT....again.  

And they were tweeting/promoting all night after like nothing happened  

Guess it's back to not allowing responses to their tweets again.....

Not sure on that but I think I read they were involved in daily fantasy out of Vegas.

I can't believe anyone would give them a dime at this point.

As long as there are dumb people, there will be predators to scam them. "There's money to be made!!!"

Got a pack.

Ripped a Diana Taurasi crossover, Lisa Leslie windmill, Elena Delle Donne in a bikini

Can't tell if this is sarcasm.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

are these still a thing?

 

[Capella]

This just screams hustlers and redditers trying to get rich. Somebody will be left with the bag.

 

[McBokonon]

More like RIP Topshot AMIRIGHT?

Narrator: Yes.

 

[fruity pebbles]

That Lebron highlight Otis bought on the first page was $1000. $45 today.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Can't believe it's been been over a year since anyone made a peep on these things.

Time flies.

The whole NFT BS seems to have died down. So many people scammed by influencers

I've got some UNOPENED packs to rip still

One of these years maybe. I'm sure the website will be up and running....

Finally got off their email list today

Made enough money

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

What are these worth now?

[millertyme1]

Do these have as much utility as crypto?

 

[fruity pebbles]

Who would have thought a video short, that you don’t even own the rights to, wouldn’t be worth thousands just because they put a number on it.

 

[Desert_Power]

Check your emails for a notice of some settlement. From reading online it seems you will get $.08 per moment purchased.

Sweet! That’s, like, 4 times what they’re actually worth!

What did they get sued for? People willingly made there dumb decisions.

Being a security or something.

That Lebron James 3 pointer where he looks at the bench was going for a couple thousand when this thread started……..now 6 bucks. First few pages of this thread are gold.

 

[Capella]

This one is so great. So Otis. Shoot it, and turn and stare at the bench before you see it go in.

https://www.nbatopshot.com/moment/0tis+7261d271-b050-4340-8ce7-d9deb3922635

Top sale was SEVENTY THOUSAND. Recent sale was 6 bucks holy ****

Just saw your post but 70k……wow

 

[Capella]

You can also print the picture from the Michael Jordan rookie card and put it on your desk but it's not worth thousands of dollars

I'm with you, kinda. I see arguments both ways but if they flood the market with moments the prices will crater. If the creators are only making money from packs then they'll be forced to do just that. Or hike the price of the packs.

I mean anything is just worth what somebody would pay for it. Even our currency. But that’s literally just a video clip. The Jordan rookie is worthy because it is a rare item - very few made. I just googled that Lebron highlight and 15 links came up. Not the same thing at all.

Good instincts on this cat

(I think I bought 2 packs)

There was a lot of market manipulation going on. No way that 70k was a real sale.

Kind of like those eth monkey pictures everybody was buying I suppose.

These guys charge $8 to withdraw to a bank account. What the hell?!

Seems like the perfect time to buy low.

How long until the public figures out the crypto currency scam?

All these years later.

STILL money to be made.

Thanks Oat!

 

[GroveDiesel]

They pretty much have. The vast majority of people aren’t investing in it and it’s still not possible to buy the vast majority of stuff with bitcoin. Seems pretty clear that the price of bitcoin is being manipulated by some heavy investors.

@Otis rrading through the thread it seems like you purchased a lot of this. What was the all-in cost?

Definitely not trying to slam Otis with this bump, but you can see some of it on his account.
