Steph Curry’s NFT Adventure
After snagging a mesmerizing Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for a whopping $206,000, NBA superstar Steph Curry is asking for some guidance in the mysterious world of cryptocurrency. His tweet to his massive 15.5 million followers was like a digital bat signal: “Just getting started in the crypto game…y’all got any advice??” This is the moment where we all go, ‘Aww, even Steph needs help!’
The NFT Collection of a Champion
It’s not just the hype surrounding the Bored Apes that has garnered attention; according to his OpenSea profile, Curry has a total of 16 NFTs in his digital collection. Yes, folks, if you were wondering if our basketball star has hopped on the blockchain bandwagon, the blue-furred Bored Ape on his profile is a glaring indicator. He’s literally showing it off while taking shots from the three-point line!
Tom Brady: The Meme Master
When you think of sports and crypto, you can’t skip over the legendary Tom Brady, who decided to inject some humor into Curry’s endeavor. He tweeted, “Whatever you do…don’t laser eyes!” accompanying it with a meme that had laser eyes—an internet joke used by crypto enthusiasts to display their unwavering support for Bitcoin. You have to love how even our greatest athletes are willing to spice up crypto conversations with a dose of wit.
The 50-Hour Homework Challenge
Of course, no crypto conversation is complete without advice that ranges from the absurd to the practical. Gary Vaynerchuk, a hustler in every sense, replied to Curry’s Tweet with: “50 hours of homework.” Twitter user @Wealth_Theory humorously clapped back stating, “There is not one person on earth who did 50 hours of homework before ramming money into altcoins. Lol.” Lesson learned? Crypto education can be as elusive as finding a needle in a haystack, especially when making emotional investment decisions.
The NFT Landscape
In case you missed the memo, NFTs are here to stay, and the NBA’s own Top Shot project is racking up sales faster than Curry can sink a three-pointer. Recent sales data from DappRadar shows that Top Shot is selling strong, with a stunning $28.11 million in volume over the last 30 days, positioning it as the fourth most popular NFT marketplace. If the NFT space were a sporting event, Top Shot would certainly be on the leaderboard.
The Champions of NFTs
While Top Shot holds strong, it’s not the top dog. CryptoPunks, Axie Infinity, and ArtBlocks are leading the charge. It’s like those highly competitive tournaments where everyone is striving to be the best. Curry may be just getting his feet wet, but with the right strategy, who knows? Maybe he’ll rival the NFT heavyweights soon enough.
