So Brian, where does the story begin?

It starts with this 30-something-year-old guy named Jeremy Levine, who was in Lake Tahoe on a skiing trip on a Sunday in January.

He's getting ready to leave his Airbnb to hit the slopes, and he checks his phone because he's been watching for something and waiting for something.

And there it is, what he's been waiting for for days.

He's so excited that his fingers are shaking as he transfers over $100,000

to buy a 13-second video clip of Zion Williamson blocking a shot.

And what about that block?

Zion from the east side.

That'll get them up on their feet.

Hey, because somebody from the 15th row, throw that ball back on the court, please.

We gotta keep the game going. He sees the price, and he doesn't even think about the price,

because he's convinced that this thing is going to triple, quadruple five times, ten times within a year.

And he never made it skiing because his friends were so excited when he told them that he made the purchase,

that they couldn't do anything but talk about it for the next 12 hours.

If you're my age, you once dreamed of holding a Shaquille O'Neal rookie card

that would one day be worth millions, at which point you'd celebrate by Scrooge McDucking

into a pool of gold coins.

But in 2021, sports collectors are chasing completely digital pieces of memorabilia,

and your fortune now isn't backstroakable, isn't tangible either.

It's probably Bitcoin. Today, Brian Winhorst is our guide to the brave new world of crypto collectibles. So brace yourself. Because the present is an

even stranger future than you thought. I'm Pablo Torre. It's Thursday, February 18th.
