🚨 @RyanCohen calls out @eBay. 🚨
Then he walks onto @eBay and uses their own platform to prove his point.
A PSA 10 Trump Topps Now card with a @PSAcard estimate around $216 is already bid up to $1,525 with nearly a week left.
That is not just an auction.
That is a live demonstration of price discovery, scarcity, culture, attention, authentication, and marketplace liquidity all colliding in real time.
Now zoom out.
He is reportedly doing this with 20 items.
At this pace, he might use the proceeds to buy eBay himself.
But the joke is hiding the real lesson.
This is checkmate.
Ryan is not just telling eBay’s board they are underperforming.
He is using their own platform to show the world what they have failed to understand.
@eBay does not just have listings.
It has cultural inventory.
It has collector psychology.
It has trust infrastructure.
It has global demand sitting behind every rare, authenticated, story-driven asset.
Yet the board does not meaningfully buy shares, does not appear to act like owners, and does not seem to fully leverage the machine sitting directly in front of them.
@RyanCohen is turning their own scoreboard into the argument.
This is not trolling.
This is activist investing as performance art.
This is strategy with a receipt attached.
The man is showing that collectibles are not dead inventory. They are financialized culture. They are emotional markets. They are attention assets. And when the right operator understands that, a marketplace stops being a website and becomes an arena.
One day, Harvard Business School will write case studies on this.
The activist did not just call out the board.
He used their own product to expose the opportunity they were sleeping on.
Checkmate.

Dripwarts is the most popular AI video trend I've ever seen.

Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him.
He did not stop.
Then one stranger got up and joined him.
Then another.
Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field.
Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world."
The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them.
Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.

I love that I get to be myself just and do/say what i want
No answering to twitter followers, a fag of a boss, meeting sales quotas, solving everyone else’s problems, giving half assed effort or worse, feeling under appreciated
No worrying about the social constructs of right and wrong, political obsession, exerting energy on things that do nothing but steal time

Know Freedom > No Freedom
