1/ Why I’m long #nbatopshot and don’t mind eating a 50% MTM loss.

In '13, a mentor recommended that I store a portion of my worth in collectibles like art, wine, watches, comics & cards. Didn’t ask, started anyway.

Listening to successful people is a good habit.

TLDR:
- Collectibles are conservatively a $1T market
- Ultra-high-net-worth individuals, (NW >50MM) collect things.

Someday, I’d like Virgil Abloh to make me a bejeweled Nautilus. @Drake

Mimic successful people = good habit.

c: Why collectibles? Diversification is more important than ever. Watch 01:31. Currency, asset class and country diversification are key.

@chugsnbugs 04:27 . Amen. USD=FKD

Learning abt how successful ppl think is a good habit

Four: Why @nbatopshot specifically? @MaxMinster nails it here. https://twitter.com/MaxMinsker/status/1379596871648210946
Only thing to add is that basketball has huge pop culture relevance.

But we’re talking years, not days.
Patience is a good habit (esp w collectibles)

5) *MAIN POINT*
Why years? See an imperfectly comparable market

6/ Original q: Why I’m long #nbatopshot and don’t mind eating a 50% MTM loss. Basically, I’m truly in this for the long haul, and for these 3 reasons.

First, diversification.

Second, scarcity is key but is established over longer periods of time ( #moarsupply in time will ..

7/ benefit low mints).

Third, we could all just be totally categorically wrong and this goes to 0. Small incremental investments starting today that go sour over 5 years doesn’t hurt so much. Rather shoot my shot...

Personally, I think @nbatopshot #momies go parabolic.
