Great topic and well framed. I don’t have data to back this up, although I’m sure I could with time…But my gut tells me that it’s NFTs and Blockchain…as the world and economies become more digitized at exponential speed, younger technologically astute generations seeking to create wealth fast and with a lot of bandwidth, will explore and optimize these technologies.
I love cards and their economic opportunity because I grew up reading Beckett and dreaming of the high value vintage cards profiled in there. Likely many collect cards because their father’s followed the game or players in the ‘50s and ‘60s. And maybe their father collected cards because their father followed the game or players in the ‘30s and ‘40s. So there’s an emotional connection to the asset class to take a chance on it and invest in cards. Same may hold true for modern digital generations. They’re growing up with or embracing technologies they love, so may be emotionally connected to NFTs and Blockchain, and take risks to monetize via those platforms. And in doing so, contribute to that growing market.
Disclosure: I own zero NFTs, etc.
