Trading Cards and the Crypto Collectibles Cycle

Cap opens with Panini Blockchain’s momentum and why digital sports cards are starting to feel closer to the physical card hobby than earlier NFT collectible formats. The conversation follows that collector energy into pack-ripping behavior, World Cup brackets and the broader rise of betting and prediction markets. The show also pauses for Venezuela relief efforts, where the Coffee Crew highlights how crypto rails can help move support more directly and transparently in a crisis. The episode keeps coming back to the same idea that collectibles are gaining momentum again, while the most interesting onchain use cases are not always about trading.Subscribe:Coffee with Captain Newsletter: https://coffeewithcaptain.beehiiv.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coffeewithcaptainshowFollow on X:Chris Jourdan: https://x.com/ChrisJourdanCoffee with Captain: https://x.com/coffeewithcap_This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
