We’ve teamed up with @simonsquibb to launch the World’s Biggest Business Competition, and to ask you one question:
What’s your dream?
There’s $1,000,000 behind the answer. It starts October 24th.

I’ve been back in the hobby for six years now and have noticed there are collectors who only buy during bull runs (ie - FOMO-driven), and then there are collectors who always buy. The latter are those that level up the most in the hobby.
@MrFourToEight started collecting on PBC during a bull run, but he just landed two of the most important cards in his collection this week at a time when the market has softened. The conviction to buy when others won’t is where the real value lies.

You know hobby god is cooking when Mr 4 to 8 is taking spots 4 and 8. (@khyattdesai 👀)
First prizm nebula on chain and Messi, and very last Curry Kaboom gold.

$60 Million Real Estate Portfolio 🤯
I interviewed @MrFourToEight and asked him how he built a multimillion-dollar business from ZERO.
How he started building the connections that changed everything for him, his faith and his advice for the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Fauci's diary entry for May 21, 2020 is one of the most grotesque documents you will ever read. It opens with the mounting Covid death toll and people dying across the country, then abruptly pivots into an extended exercise in self-congratulation about his newfound fame. How was someone so profoundly narcissistic ever allowed to accumulate so much power and rise so high? Completely unreal.

I really appreciate the hobby of collecting can bring me to meet great collectors, like @adamweitsman the biggest in NFT/web3 category. Read in full.
So much fun to learn from him and also share what I'm passionate about, physical hobby and #PaniniBlockchain / PBC. Very honored to have him on chain and be part of PBC ecosystem.
Opening a Prizm debut red mosaic pack is a bucketlist activity, almost like opening a case of 2003 Exquisite.
This is very first native blockchain/BC pack ever.
Nowadays everything on chain was distributed via BC packs, latest release drop sold out quick and pack has 10x at peak. All because of this first test pack paved the way.
LeBron and Curry /3 remain hidden post-rip, but those 3 cards make Adam officially on chain and memory and moment of connection are invaluable and will be nostalgic down the road.
It's a historical moment. Glad to have it captured in first portion of the video.
What keeps us jumping out of bed after 5 hours of sleep daily, when you are made? You want to help and build the hobby you love and hope more people see what you see and enjoy what you enjoy.
Adam @adamweitsman and I are very similar in that regard but we also are true collectors and really enjoy collecting those grails and assets.
Adam has been a vocal and passionate supporter for many web3/NFT projects and also curious and interested in learning sports cards.
PaniniBlockchain is a natural common denominator. This is why I think PBC is powerful. It's easiest way for guys to get in and learn about hobby. No friction and no extra steps/costs in the path of ripping a pack or land a grail.
We both are BAYC passionists. We also exchanged our understanding of those and he told me how he landed one of the mega mutant, the process and chase is extremely similar to how I chase cards.
There are more similarities in the parallel collecting universes, and glad PC/BAYC bring our paths crossed.
Thoroughly enjoyed the time when we two collectors chatting, and also go to origin, family, quick exchange of life secrets, peak moments and lessons.
Here we opened another PBC pack. The only BC native NBA Flawless pack, just one year.
Adam hits Melo from his Alma Mater and big card Paolo base 1of1, one of ascending young super stars.
Packs are purest form of enjoying hobby, possibility and allure of hitting biggest hits and the sensation from the reveal.
Single card picking is another form of assured surgical pursuit of alphas and world class PC.
Both complement well. Look forward to seeing Adam build his collection over time on chain.
Great time and now time to build and prepare for Natty.

In 2007, Lionel Messi held a baby for a photo shoot. That baby grew up to be Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal!
19 years later, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal are set to face off in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina!

Some people think the Airbnb business died. It didn’t.
What died was the herd. The people who chase whatever’s hot, squeeze it, and disappear when it cools off.
What survives are the builders. The ones who can make a business work in any market, not just an easy one.
Here’s the truth nobody wants to hear: it takes time.
Consistency beats hype every single time.
When you find an opportunity that makes sense, don’t ask yourself how fast you can get rich. Ask yourself how long you can stay in the game. The people who show up looking for quick money always lose.
The people who play the long game are the ones still standing when everyone else is gone. Longevity wins.
Congratulations to Blake, here’s to another one! You lead in ways most people only dream about, and I’m honored to be part of these chapters. Cheers!

Messi is the greatest footballer this planet has ever seen & will ever see
A human being with godlike ability. What he does defies logic & belief. It’s outrageous. Incomprehensible. Almost impossible to accept as real.

Congrats to my brother @MrFourToEight in landing the 4th highest sold grail on #PaniniBlockchain. Read in full.
It also makes his previous personal record on chain into 8th highest on PBC.
From 4 to 8. Now I understand it. 📝
Messi 2022 Prizm WC BC 9/10 =highest non-1/1 non-special-serial sale on chain!
Congrats to Dan @PaniniNFTs, who is one of OG social media warriors in outreaching for PBC alongside with me for years and years. He still has several crazy Messi and others. Literally can early retire with a few jpegs. Dan with loaded war chest is a crazy concept, as he is very good at placing offers at unattended grails (Mahomes first Prizm black on chain landed at $500? What?) and the win can compound hard. Or maybe just a nice vacation somewhere first. But the war has not won. Let’s build the community and great future of digital asset space.
Second pic shows PBC (Blake’s Messi 9/10 buy) is highest NFT sale among all projects in last 24 hours, 3x and higher than Azuki spirit. It also is highest in last 7 days among licensed sports cards on chain and ethereum NFTs, higher than and 2x BAYC with blue beams.
It shows a non-special-serial non-1/1 PBC can be multiple lever higher than some absolute grail tier items from number 7 (Azuki) and number 2 (BAYC) all time NFT projects (in terms of volume). Per @cryptoslamio.
A win for Blake. A win for PBC. A win for sportscards. A win for digital assets as a whole.

Great stuff from @mrfourtoeight.
Was a pleasure chatting on spaces yesterday, hopefully we get to do it again soon.
Most people dip a toe into PBC...He came in and put his nuts on the table with 3 grail buys right out of the gate.
PBC gives him broad exposure to the highest-end parts of the hobby without the friction of physical collecting. No shipping, grading, vaulting, insurance headaches, games, or inventory management.
Just elite assets, capped supply, and anytime access from the phone.
Welcome to our amazing community!
I am treating my investment into Panini Blockchain NFT’s the same way that I treat investing in Art.
In 2022, I flew to Scottsdale AZ to meet a meteoric rising western artist, Mark Maggiori. I made a six figure investment into my first Maggiori original ‘Emerald Sky’.
Not only has the painting been an incredible investment, appreciating rapidly as Maggiori’s popularity continues to skyrocket, but Mark and I became friends in the process. Three birds, one stone.
I stayed completely out of the NFT craze post-COVID. I watched a lot of people make and lose money. But, Ive continued to monitor the space because it was obvious that one NFT project, given enough time, and the right recipe of community, product, and magic, would pull away.
…and it has. The data, the volume, the community, the product. UN-DE-NI-ABLE. It’s obvious that Panini Blockchain is a winner, I’m reallocating a large bit of my crypto investment portfolio here. An incredible fucking community, trading, and investment opportunity… an asset class. A true asset class, no different than Art. @spinotron #paniniblockchain

Proud to be interviewed by the great Karin Eldor at @Forbes , and hope you enjoy it as well.
