Dynamic NFTs: trading cards that evolve when real events happen

Shaan describes LaMelo Ball's dynamic NFT cards (built on Ethercards) that upgrade like Pokemon when the player hits real-world milestones. Buying an MVP card today is a cheap option that levels up if he ever wins MVP.

“A dynamic one will update or upgrade based on things that happen.”

Steal thisTie a collectible's value to a verifiable future real-world event so buyers are effectively buying a bet.

Athletes minting their own cards to own the IP and upside

Shaan's big insight on LaMelo Ball's NFT: traditional cards are licensed to Panini/Topps and the individual player gets no cut of a $200k LeBron card sale, so no incentive to promote. By minting his own card, LaMelo owns the upside and will push it to his millions of followers.

“LeBron doesn't get a cut of that transaction because he didn't issue it.”

Steal thisHelp talent issue and own their own collectibles so promotion and upside finally align.
