Gm Everyone. Let’s see what I’m cooking today.
Why has the gacha model exploded across crypto? @allocateur explained the mechanics: The appeal for players is that it's plus-EV. Pay $25 for a pull, and you're guaranteed a floor (the lowest gacha tier is ~$15 in value) with a real shot at rarer, higher-value cards. If you're [Spoken audio]: Can I ask quite why the gotcha mechanism is exploded? I mean, now it's I've here at everywhere. There's so many platforms doing this It's very clear that it's good at generating volume because people kind of sit there and you know pull the proverbial You know slot machine handle if you will to get what they're looking for Which shows great on on analytics and stats, but like this model is exploded and it's gone now Now, beyond trading cards, what got you excited about the model? And if you could just very briefly explain it to for those that don't know. So I'm not sure how early I was. I was basically playing gacha on court yards in like Q1 turn 25 last year, right? So that's when I got really excited about it. what I really liked is that because it's plus EV, especially if the asset like and back then it was early for Pokemon still, right? So you were getting a chance to collect very cool cards and then if you pay like $25, maybe the lowest you can go in Gacha is like $15. So you are at least getting $15 back but then there is a higher probability of getting these like chase cards, right? And that's what I think like people really love about it, like the gamification mechanics around it. And then at the end of the day, it's like plus EV, right? So if you are an actual collector and you just keep playing, you're going to be making plus EV on the fair market valuation. And then we like on the business model, we go back to the platform being able to acquire inventory at a discount or being able to acquire an inventory at base like 10% discount from its own users. So in our case, for example, because we are early to the Hot Wheels market, we are able to acquire inventory at a much higher discount, like say 20%, maybe like sometimes 30%, right? Because we are just early. So we can't even increase our margins if if people are gonna be keeping all of their pools out of Hot Wheels Gotcha, right? So for us, yes, like if they sell it back to us at 90%, we get to get inventory at 10% discount. But then if people actually hold it, it's even better for us because we can then go to the open market and acquire inventory as a big lot at around like 20% discount, right? Yeah, so from a collector's perspective, getting back to your question, there is this component that you know it's transparent and you know how much the house is retaining out of it, right? And you know that it's plus EV. Yeah, that's what I really love about it. So are you guys partner with somebody to do this or are you going out and sourcing these cars, cars buying these cars in bulk? And I'm assuming what's gonna happen is you would do the raise and then based on how much you get is how much inventory you can go really source to initially kind of get this thing going. Yeah, so initially we're gonna be running our own vault in the Bay Area, that's one. Two, is that we already have connections with collectors that have their collections and that are ready to sell it to us as well. I mean, with collectors, the thing is that someone might have like 20,000 car collection, but they are very often fine to give away or like style part of the collection, right? So we already have all of those relationships and out of the 250K raise, we are planning to dedicate 50K of it to the inventory. Yeah, that's like initial number. And then if we see the volumes growing, we plan to do additional raise and put majority of those into the inventory. EZA Kickstart is the home of the internet capital markets.
