esports investments are a joke - there's so much dumb money in this space!
look at this "billion dollar" publicly traded company: $EGLX
Enthusiastic Gaming is a holdco of random assets ranging from the most popular website for The Sims, to a minority stake in the vancouver overwatch team.
It's not a bad company...it's just not worth $1b
here's a quick scan of their last quarter report
looks like they rolled up a bunch of companies:
- Bought @Luminosity for $1.5M cash, 7.5M stock
- Bought a couple agencies for $13M cash + more stock
- started trading on the TSX in january, up ~4x in a year.
They are basically an ad agency for gaming channels + websites
for the first 3/4ths of the year - they did $30m in revenue, with $50M in expenses, for a net loss of -$20M so far for the year.
- not profitable
- not durable (business model = middleman/agency)
- not scalable
how is this a $1b co?
people want to invest in rocketships. this is a sparkler
$8.5M cash in the bank left. Looks like they'll need to raise more money from the market to keep the show going 😅

Elon Clubhouse summary for those who are locked out:
Q: When are we going to get to Mars?
@elonmusk (says some smart space stuff)... I figure... idk.. ~5.5 years.
Q: What will it take to go to Mars?
@elonmusk You need a fully & rapidly re-usable rocket. Rapid is imp.. can't take months between flights. Needs to be like airplanes where the biggest cost is fuel.
Too much news, too much sugar, too much of everything at your fingertips..There's only 1 way out.
Let's lay it out:
On one side, you have "Team Dopamine":
* 24/7 news cycle, full of clickbait headlines
* Social Media, friend's pics that disappear in 24 hours
* Endless varieties of sugar & porn
going up against your tiny, 3 pound brain running 20,000 yr old software
Even if you are a smart person who tries their best to stay healthy & happy... you are going up against Fox News, TikTok, PornHub, Robinhood, Instagram
