EP 33: LUC DOUCET

Luc Doucet is Founder at The First Mint, a platform that covers NBA Top Shot, streams, analytics, and podcasts. They are building the future of reactive media in the social ecosystem of blockchain.

We recently talked to Jack Settleman about NBA Top Shot and in that episode he mentioned Luc, and based on what he said about him we knew we needed to talk to Luc.

‍

We Discussed:

• What is NBA Top Shot and why Luc said it is “quantifying fandom”

• Why has Luc been so gracious in giving his time and experience in helping people understand NBA Top Shot and digital collectibles

• The quantity and scarcity of the digital collectables market

• Where NBA Top Shot needs to go in order to make this more balanced so new fans can enter for under $30

• Likening NBA Top Shot to Crack and Scratch Lottery Tickets

• Why right now was the perfect time for NBA Top Shot to launch and be successful

• How the real story here is Blockchain

• How NBA Top Shot is building the blueprint for how this is done for not only brands to follow, but consumers to have less of a barrier of entry

• Why Luc said “I've told all my peers that their opportunities are in crypto now. Just like they were in Social 10 years ago.”

• Luc explains how the resistance to blockchain and digital collectables is very similar to when email was introduced
