Some up and coming artist name @beeple destroyed this $100 bill. I wonder if they’ll accept it anywhere? Probably nothing…

@tadtweets @CandyDigital 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

👀 On Friday I doubled down on my commitment to digital collectibles by agreeing to acquire most of the assets of @CandyDigital (Candy.io). When the transaction closes in a week or two, I will also serve as CEO. 💪 My view is that the sustained value of digital collectibles of all kinds requires transparency, security, liquidity, scarcity, and desirability. Candy.io intends to provide all five of those benefits for past and future fans. Agentic and #AI commerce will cause velocity and value to soar where crypto rails make transactions easy and clear digital ownership and rock solid authenticity exist. 🔥 Candy.io will operate by a few simple values on my watch: the Golden Rule for all involved; respect for licensor brands and artists; relentless focus on fan experience; frequent communication often from me.💪 My email address is tad.smith@candy.io for those who want to reach me directly. Please follow @CandyDigital as well for more communication. Our site has been in maintenance mode — frustrating (I know!) — but our many fans are about to have their patience rewarded.🙏 More details on the platform, relaunch, and some dazzling new collectibles and #NFTs you can’t get anywhere else are coming as soon as we close the deal. 👍 We’re not starting over on Candy.io. We’re picking up something extraordinary and making it better. 📈🔥🚀‼️ Please join me to write the next chapter of Candy.io. 🫡

@baseball_cards Panini Ohtanis are undervalued imo. Design is subjective but we have no problem with licensed version of these in nba and nfl 🤷🏻‍♂️

Listen. This card is awful. The hitter doesn't look like Ohtani. Unlicensed. Sticker auto. The auto doesn't look like Ohtani's. Absolutely terrible. With all of the amazing cards available worldwide, why would anyone choose this?

@mitchgoldich you're gonna lose it when you find out where we're actually from

The biggest game of the first round is on Friday, when Long Island battles Arizona for iced tea supremacy

@LegionHoops I’m sure getting knocked out in the first round helps 👀

AJ Dybantsa is having a MONSTER game against Texas. 20 points already. His odds to get drafted first overall are SKYROCKETING.

@gothburz WAGMI

My net worth peaked at $1.2 million. None of it was real. I don't mean that philosophically. I mean it was located on servers that have since been turned off. I own eleven properties in the metaverse. Three in Decentraland. Four in The Sandbox. Two in Voxels. One in Otherside. And a beachfront villa in Horizon Worlds that I bought for $214,000 because Mark Zuckerberg called it "the next frontier." The frontier closed last week. It's a mobile app now. Last year I mass DM'd 340 people the phrase "you don't understand how early we are." I have since stopped doing that. Not because I was wrong. Because most of them blocked me. I got into metaverse real estate in November 2021. Everyone was buying. Someone paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg's neighbor. In a video game. With no legs. The avatars didn't have legs. I thought that was bullish. "The legs are coming," I told my Discord. "Legs are a roadmap item." Three hundred people reacted with rocket emojis. I called myself a "digital land baron." I put it in my Twitter bio. I put it in my LinkedIn headline. I said it on a podcast that had eleven listeners. Three of them were bots. The rest were my alts. My virtual property has more square footage than my actual apartment. My actual apartment has furniture. Location, location, location. My most valuable asset was a plot next to a virtual Gucci store. Gucci left in 2023. The store is still there. Nobody's in it. It's like a mall in Ohio but with worse graphics and no food court. I held. Diamond hands. That's what we said. "Diamond hands." It means refusing to sell while your investment loses 94% of its value. We turned financial paralysis into a personality trait. A guy in my Discord paid $2.4 million for a 618-parcel estate in Decentraland. Prime district. High foot traffic. I asked him what "foot traffic" meant when the platform had 38 daily active users. He said I didn't understand the technology. I didn't. I still bought more. We had a DAO. A decentralized autonomous organization. That means we voted on decisions. There were nine of us. Three never showed up. Two voted on everything without reading it. The other four were me and my alts. We voted to "acquire strategic parcels." The vote passed unanimously. I voted four times. My portfolio peaked at $1.2 million. I told everyone. I made a spreadsheet. I projected 40x returns by 2025. I made a pitch deck. The pitch deck had a slide that said "WE ARE BUILDING THE DIGITAL ECONOMY." The slide had a rocket emoji. That was my entire financial model. In 2023 I bought a Bored Ape for $189,000. It's worth $14,000 now. I don't talk about the Ape. I still use it as my profile picture. People ask me about it. I say "I'm long-term bullish." Long-term bullish means I can't sell it without crying in a Panera. My mom asked me what a Bored Ape was. I said "digital art on the blockchain." She asked why it cost more than her car. I said "you don't understand Web3." She said "I understand you live in a studio apartment." She's not in my Discord. Justin Bieber bought one for $1.3 million. It's worth about $90,000 now. I felt better about mine after I heard that. That's community. WAGMI. We're All Gonna Make It. We said that every day. In the group chat. While the floor dropped. While the volume dried up. While 95% of all NFT collections went to zero. We're all gonna make it. None of us made it. But we said it with conviction and a laser-eye profile picture. That counts for something. It doesn't. But we said it did. That's decentralized consensus. Meta spent $84 billion on the metaverse. I need to say that again. $84 billion. More than the GDP of Luxembourg. More than the GDP of Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta combined. They spent it on a platform where the avatars had no legs, the graphics looked like a 2006 Wii game, and the peak user count was lower than the lunch rush at a Chipotle in Des Moines. They just pulled Horizon Worlds from VR headsets. It lives on as a mobile app. My beachfront villa is now a mobile app. Location, location, location. Zuckerberg renamed the entire company for this. Facebook became Meta. A $900 billion company changed its legal name because the CEO watched Ready Player One and said "I want that." Reality Labs lost $10 billion in 2021. $14 billion in 2022. $16 billion in 2023. $18 billion in 2024. $19 billion in 2025. That's not a strategy. That's a speedrun. They laid off 1,500 Reality Labs employees this year. Shut down three VR studios. Killed Supernatural. Put the entire VR social vision in a casket and said "we're pivoting to AI and wearables." The pivot took four years and $84 billion. I pivoted too. I'm an AI real estate investor now. I bought a virtual plot in an AI-generated world that doesn't exist yet. The founder said it was "the intersection of spatial computing and large language models." I don't know what that means. I gave him $40,000. He has a whitepaper. It's 47 pages. I read the title and the tokenomics section. The tokenomics section is a pie chart. I love pie charts. They make everything look like a plan. The project has a roadmap. Q1: "Build community." Q2: "Launch beta." Q3: "Scale ecosystem." Q4 is blank. Q4 is always blank. That's where the exit scam goes. My accountant asked me to value my metaverse portfolio for tax purposes. I said $1.2 million. He said "current market value." I said $6,400. He stared at me for eleven seconds. I know because I counted. He asked if I had any other investments. I showed him my NFTs. He stared for longer. I told him they were "cultural artifacts with long-term provenance." He asked if I'd considered a 401k. I told him a 401k was "legacy finance." He told me to leave his office. The metaverse is dead. I don't accept that. I am a digital land baron. I own eleven properties across four platforms. I have a beachfront villa in a mobile app, a plot next to an empty Gucci store, and a cartoon monkey that cost me more than my actual car. Location, location, location. The location is nowhere. But I'm early. I'm always early. That's the same as being wrong except you get to say it with confidence.

@RyanLCards Agreed. Sigh.

eBay sales been slow for anyone this week? Feels like my numbers are VERY down compared to the rest of the month!

@BosCardHunter Gotta appreciate the transparency here 🫡

Hope this is a joke? Ct scanning 🩻

Too many baseball parallels from the 90s - hard to keep track! This guide is awesome @CardPurchaser thesmartercollector.com/post/all-the-o…

@BenMBurrows @GoldinCo These will age well 🫡

Pair of key Nikola Jokic rookie cards sold Saturday @GoldinCo, both of which topped his previous public record. A 15-16 Prizm Gold /10 sold first for $319,640 to set a new high. Jokic's 15-16 Immaculate Logoman 1/1 followed at $298,900. Card last sold for $205,000 in 2024.

@goatcollect @GoldinCo 👀

A great item, with a COA directly from the NFL, ending tonight @GoldinCo A game used football from the most legendary game of Tom Brady’s career, Super Bowl LI. Great display piece. Unlimited storytelling.

@goatcollect @GoldinCo 🤣

The “please don’t tweet about this item” texts have started early. Yes, @GoldinCo ends tonight.

@DixonsCards Those always hit different

I just picked up the sickest card at the Dallas Card Show!

@HouseOfJordans Super foil forever >>>

“A Superfractor from Topps Chrome or a Black Finite from Prizm? Which is the superior 1/1? … I love them both. Superfractors are awesome. They're the OG and the swirl. That is an incredible looking pattern. But I love a rainbow refractor shine that the Finite provides.”

@bigwerms Baseball pump is in the air

Sold this for $650 at the end of January...

@fullcardsweep Most legit

Love you brother, thank you!

@utdad21 Legendary move

Boy, did I have a day… I foolishly bought a fake card for $650 dollars off FB marketplace. I was immediately blocked after the exchange and he thought he got away with it. I impressed myself with my detective skills though. Found a wedding registry site with his name and picture on it online. Texted his wife with my story and proof. I now have my $650 back 😏. And no, I’m not sorry for involving his wife. She needs to know he’s doing shady shit.

@CardsMax Web3 collectors down bad and degening into cards. Always a new grift…

PoV: You’ve been involved in collectibles for 3 minutes and think you know everything
