iStripper first collection of trading cards

关于iStripper的一切

I don't have any problem with an additional revenue stream for Totem. My curiosity is more about the implementation method. Totem could have implemented trading cards with limited availability in their current ecosystem without involving NFTs and cryptocurrency. They already track the cards owned by each member and have an excellent encryption method make sure only valid owners can play those cards. They could have created a marketplace in the current app where cards were auctioned or sold at a fixed price determined by the seller. They could have received a cut of each sale in the same way that Steam takes a cut of trading cards sold there. Members would be more inclined to participate in trading since they wouldn't have to mess with cryptocurrency.

I'm guessing the reason for implementing this with the NFT technology and cryptocurrency is to make these cards available to non-members who want to use them to speculate and hope to get lots of cash rather than credits when selling their cards. An iStripper NFT card has the benefit of being more aesthetic than an ugly little jpeg and also has actual functionality to make it more valuable, The initial card releases might produce significant revenue for Totem, especially from investors who want to be first to the party. Many of these cards will likely be owned by people who will never play them, but maybe that's no different than all those valuable paintings that sit in the vaults of the uber-rich and are only treated as investments. Ultimately, I expect the demand for older cards to wane over time so the price will come down to something even less than most of us spend on SECs.

FYI, if you haven't watched the two most recent South Park specials on the Paramount+ network, they provide some amusing social commentary on NFTs. Here's a clip of a grown-up version of Butters (aka Professor Chaos) doing a pitch on NFTs. Maybe he got to Totem as well. 😀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8f-BQFo7lw
