A TCG crypto currency has been born which some card shops and grading stores are already accepting around the world.
What is TCG?
TCG is short for Trading Card Game, those little cards you collected as children (or still like many of us still collect now).
Well those ‘little cards’ have been gathering pace over the years and some of the rarer card have become super desirable such as this Pokemon : 1999 First Edition Shadowless Holographic Charizard which sold for an eye watering $220,574 in October just last year (2020)
So what is TCGCoin?
Well we have spoken with the top dogs at TCGCoin and this is what they say:
‘TCGCoin and TCG Trading is a complete platform for safely buying and selling TCG cards, memorabilia and collectibles using our own Cryptocurrency.
‘The platform has no fees for selling through the site which would be great for the TCG community.
There is a 2.5% payment fee to the Escrow provider for the Smart Contract payments. Digital Grading will be available on the site as well.
We will also be building a global network of middlemen for verification of cards and other collectibles.
We offer protection for both buyer and seller to reduce scammers. Our mission is to provide a safe trading and buying environment to the TCG community.’
Isn’t the ‘crypto market’ volatile?
YES! VERY. We are not financial advisers, investments like this do carry risks as markets do move up and down in the blink of an eye and as they are not regulated so people like Elon Musk can freely discuss them in social media posts and on television and send certain cryptos into disarray as people try to read between the lines.
How can i see what its worth and what its doing?
Poocoin… yes you heard correctly, a great way of looking at many cryptocurrency is via the website Poocoin (odd we know) type in what cryptocurrency you wish to view and you can see its behavior over anything from 30 mins to 6 months, it also shows you what people are doing below (red sold & green buy)
Okay i have a spare few quid what do i do?
If you want to take the risk then go to their website and click ‘how to buy’ where they have a short video explaining how to do it.
The value while typing this is at $0.00000000146551 so £5 (that is around $7 usd) would buy you around 9,552,988,379 TCGcoin which in words would be: Nine billion five hundred fifty-two million nine hundred eighty-eight thousand three hundred seventy-nine.
Interesting project
