Greetings,
Before I say anything about this amazing platform that is NBA Topshot, I am NOT an expert nor am I giving professional financial advice. I'm simply a user in the space that wants to give his insight for others to learn and grow from. Thanks for even taking the time to read my content, its greatly appreciated. Now that the small talk is out the way, lets get into NBA Topshot.
So there has been a very high jump in demand for Sports Cards over the past year or so. I myself even picked up the hobby back in March 2020 and have enjoyed it ever since. In the midst of a pandemic, an exploding sports card hobby, along with all the other craziness 2020 had in store, another platform caught my attention. NBA Topshot.
I first heard of this platform while searching on YouTube for Sports Card content ironically. My curiosity instantly grew once I saw how clean the user interface appeared. After watching a couple videos I did what most people would and decided to check it out for myself. I noticed they were using the actual NBA logo so I scrolled down to the bottom of the Homepage and came to find out, NBA Topshot actually has a signed licensed agreement with the not only the league. ( Officially licensed product of the National Basketball Players Association ). Honestly I was in awe. Thinking to myself, how could an NBA licensed product such as this one be so underground. So I did a little homework and learned, NBA Topshot BETA was open publicly around June 2020 by some of the influencers from "CrypoKitties" and other crypto collectible spaces. More specifically NBA Topshot uses "Flow Blockchain" to mint certain NBA moments (highlights) by adding serial numbers ( for example #/15000 LE) of different NBA players.
These moments can be purchased by way of Credit Card, Cryptocurrencies (such as BTC and ETH), or you can load money onto your Dapper account, which is how all official transactions are processed (DapperLabs). From the actoin packed moments, timed sets that can be completed by using them, the showcases (ability to create your very own highlight reels to be shared with the community), gifts to be sent from one "topshotter" to another, and all the other great features within this amazing platform. Theres more than plenty of fun to be had here with family, friends, and even the new ones your bound to encounter on your way. Hopefully this brief overview of NBA Topshot opened your eyes at least a little bit more to where we as a people are going in the now to very near future.
I really hope your were able to gain some kind of value from my article. I really do appreciate you taking the time out to read it. Stay Tuned
