Garbage Pail Kids Take Over the Blockchain

Did you feel the ground shake? I’m not referencing the latest California earthquake. Those happen all the time. I’m talking about a little project that quietly launched a couple weeks ago which set the new standard for digital collectibles on blockchain. We’ve got names for those held responsible. Nasty Nick, Fryin’ Bryan, Kim Kong, Bony Joanie and Adam Bomb are just a few of the 82 now being held for questioning. If those names sound familiar, you may have grown up in the eighties and collected Garbage Pail Kids trading cards. The very same cards from the Topps organization were released on the WAX blockchain, sold out in just over one day and now have a secondary market that you won’t believe. Today we are joined by Evan Vandenberg, Director of Business Development at WAX to discuss this launch and what it means for the future of digital collectibles. And speaking of NFTs we also check in with Jesse Reich from the collectible trading card game, Splinterlands. Now the top Dapp on Dappradar.com, we can learn a lot about what is working in this new space. Dust off your eighties vinyl and put some mousse in your hair for episode #413 of The Bad Crypto Podcast.  Full Show Notes at: http://badco.in/413 SUBSCRIBE, RATE, & REVIEW: Apple Podcast: http://badco.in/itunes Google Podcasts: http://badco.in/google Spotify: http://badco.in/spotify FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Twitter: @BadCrypto - @joelcomm - @teedubya Facebook:  /BadCrypto - /JoelComm - /teedubyaw Facebook Mastermind Group: /BadCrypto LinkedIn: /in/joelcomm - /in/teedubya Instagram: @BadCryptoPodcast Email: badcryptopodcast[at]gmail[dot]com Phone: SEVEN-OH-8-88FIVE- 90THIRTY DONATE CRYPTO TO THE SHOW:If you'd like to donate a bit of cryptocurrency to The Bad Crypto Podcast, feel free to send copious amounts to the following locations:  $BTC: Bitcoin: 3GMgCH4dFUHSLdrPnLwEsfKPVnLnoGbzGZ $ETH Ethereum: 0x1ccE8A04fa6743eD1D24cA063c7543D43B42F328 $LTC Litecoin: LavXqTWVHebEgVhBXdg3Hue3xEAmgtxLgr $DOGE Dogecoin:  DMngvNMX1U8Sg8PkDjCC3UTS8Mmn9RqTP5 DISCLAIMER:Do your own due diligence and research. Joel Comm and Travis Wright are NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS.
