        Good luck man. What happened last time they got a huge influx of cash from retail traders? From what I read they wasted it in NFTs.

        Now they’re wasting it on trading cards. The company is floundering. Surviving purely from generational nostalgia at this point. When that runs out the rug will be pulled.

          They never bought NFTs, they built a website for trading NFTs. Very minimal expense that’s already written off as it got banned by the US govt

            Fair enough they didn’t outright buy NFTs. They attempted to enter the market and failed. It’s still a loss. And I’m not feeling great about the trading card idea. But hey we’ll see, maybe it works out for them this time.
