In 2000, I invested $20 in a holographic Pokémon card featuring Kabutops. Fast forward over two decades, and I found myself acquiring an even earlier gem, the elusive Shining Kabutops. This passion for collecting echoes in various forms, much like obtaining a tiny piece of fabric from Sean Astin's travel waistcoat during the production of "The Two Towers."Collectors often find joy in unconventional items. Some pay significant sums for unique artifacts, like a handwritten note from their favorite author or a piece of vintage film reel from a classic movie set. The tangible connection to a cherished person, team, or event becomes the essence of the collector's pursuit.How does this connect to #NewBitcoinCity - the emergin #SoFi app with Discord-like games for circles.NBC's innovative "placeholder" feature seized my attention. It not only allows the acquisition of keys from off-platform individuals but also introduces the concept of 1/1 keys, adding a new dimension to collecting.This feature could revolutionize collecting for several reasons:Authentication: Ensuring the validity of profiles is vital for collectors. With NBC, users input the "@" username into the placeholder search tab, minimizing the risk of fraud.Potential Engagement: While not every celebrity may join NBC, those who do can engage with their fan base in a new, lucrative way. By converting placeholder keys into authentic collectibles, they stand to benefit.Liquidity: NBC keys offer instant liquidity, enabling easy buying and selling, even in fractional increments.Acceptance of Authority: As more people join NBC and trade keys, the market for collectibles becomes more defined and rooted. It's akin to how baseball cards gained value over time.In essence, #NBC has the potential to birth a new form of collectible rapidly, especially if celebrities start claiming their keys. I've purchased various keys, not with the expectation of celebrities joining, but from a collector's standpoint.With #NBC, we benefit from the trustless blockchain to log our acquisitions, making it easier to authenticate the origins of these collectibles. While this is speculative, it resonates strongly with collectors like me.Cheers, see you in the circle!
