Origin of Candy Digital
- Gary Vee repeatedly advised Michael Rubin to invest in trading cards, predicting their future as a major asset class.
- This advice, combined with their collaboration on the All In Challenge, led to the creation of Candy Digital.
NFT Market Crash Prediction
- Most current NFT projects lack long-term vision and prioritize short-term gains, making them vulnerable to market crashes.
- Focus on long-term value creation for NFT holders by considering supply and demand dynamics and future collectible potential.
NFTs After the Crash
- Don't be discouraged by an NFT market crash; view it as an opportunity.
- Consumer blockchain technology is a significant advancement, and the crash is a temporary setback, not a sign of its demise.
