Live Tweeting Office Hours! 📣
(1/x) Next big update -- gifting restrictions

Details private, coming as soon as next few days
(2/x) In-game audio - something team is exploring

They apparently do have license to use in-game audio
(3/x) Hardcourt - early TESTING with "select few lucky peeps"

But they are testing this with people who are NOT familiar and currently using NBA topshot

They are testing the game for folks with no vested interest in NBA topshot, to make sure the game is actually good
(3/x continued) - Hardcourt will be more of an Arcade game vs. NBA 2K

Players in your collection are a "shell", and think of other moments as "power ups"

Collectors will have different ways of fielding roster in game, and play different strengths

Super smash bros is analogue
(4/x) Priority to incentivize collecting/investing vs. pack hunters

"Building your collection will gain you access to things on topshot and in real world someday"

Next showcase contest coming soon!

Legendary drop will have restrictions, though nothing else specified
(5/x) Tier systems

In S1, 1K common moments made sense given user base, but now in S2 2021 moments are considered rare. Scales with user growth (though not proportionately)

(6/x) Baller Status

Trying to discourage botting and multi-accounters, confident that re-designing baller status into equation to distinguish real collectors

🚨Baller status is a "more viable path forward" to determine pack drop eligibility vs. # moments owned🚨

@Doubleuwjr
(7/x) Challenge moments

In response to challenge moments diving in value; team says that "challenge moments WILL BE in future challenges moving forward"
(8/x) For those without withdrawals:

Reviews on shady behavior (e.g. VPN, multi-accounts, shady off-market transactions, etc.) is a manual process, to check for people who request withdrawals
(9/x) Focus on challenges right now is to make them feel fun, without the monetary assessment is "worth it"

Reiterated that Conley reward is a one-off (so far) where the Conley team approached TS about the opportunity
(10/x)

Series 1 unreleased moments not going to be dumped into market at once

Being responsible and thoughtful around when and how they will be released

Announcement on this by the end of this month (or sooner!)
(11/x) Botted accounts getting shut down --

Last weekend 40 accounts shut down

Access to withdrawals and processing of withdrawals is different - those accounts will not "get off scot free", team will determine how to deal with their moments
(12/x) Product roadmap - don't think the team can commit to a roadmap since it may change folks investment strategies

Trying to provide certain/confirmed information, as well as visibility into what the team is working through, without trying to make promises and breaking them
(13/x) Email coming TODAY with an update on the pre-order packs

Guaranteed to be delivered by April 16th, if not earlier!
(14/x ) Pack price ranges moving forward:

Legendaries: ~$1K
Rares: ~$100-$350
Commons: ~$20-30

Higher-value packs are something collectors "should work towards" and thus have restrictions

Trying to make things fair for people who strike out on packs multiple times in a row
(15/x) Good collectors may end up getting flagged IF you try to snipe lower price moments and fail purchase multiple times in a row...

And you will get blocked; though this should be temporary

Fairly common issue that happens to honest collectors
(16/x) 🇨🇦 Canadian bank withdrawals -- getting enabled sometime in April or early May!

Coming soon 😃
(17/17) Dropping now from call -- checkout @TheFirstMint for their live tweets too!

Pre-Order Packs 2 -- The moments that I'd want to get

🧵
(1/x) Let's start off with none other than LaMelo Ball

35K CC but his first career bucket! Should be a notable moment and will fetch a solid price.. Think around Ant's dunk or a bit lower (~$50-70)

Can imagine there being some post drop hype, which may push prices up
(2/x) Masked Kawhi 35K CC moment is unique because it's him in a mask...

Will be his first (perhaps only?) moment masked, which gives it some uniqueness

I think it'll end up going for around $15-20 or so
