Wilson Chandler’s journey from basketball to the crypto world PlatoBlockchain Data Intelligence. Vertical Search. Ai.

Wilson Chandler is one of the latest basketball stars that has jumped into the crypto and NFT bandwagon. 

According to him, he first discovered cryptocurrency after hearing it from the kids that he has played with at Fortnite. 

Fascinated by their incredible stories, he eventually invited one of them into his home to learn the basics of cryptocurrency such as setting up a wallet and using an exchange. 

The start of his crypto journey

“From there I bought coins ー bitcoins, ethereum, stellar ー bunch of sh*t just playing around, learning,” Chandler said. 

From learning the wonders of crypto from kids at Fortnite, Chandler established a network consisting of friends who are knowledgeable about cryptocurrency ventures. 

He also shared that his journey wasn’t always smooth sailing. Just like any crypto newbies, he also stumbled upon big-time mistakes that cost him a lot of money. 

But instead of stopping, Chandler pushed further and “hunted” for more lucrative crypto deals, and this time, armed with the lessons from his past mistakes. 

One of the latest deals he has struck is from an NFT company called CryptoKickers, which designs streetwear-inspired shoes for virtual worlds. 

On top of that, he is also venturing into the lucrative blockchain-based digital horse racing game through Zed Run. 

NBA’s lay-up into the NFT ring 

Chandler also shared that he is inspired by NBA’s venture into the NFT world, through NBA Top Shot that sells NFT assets related to basketball. 

Also, basketball players are also participating in NFT ventures like providing angel investments on their chosen blockchain companies. 

The basketball star added: “I can see why fans and players gravitate towards NFTs. It’s fun and exciting, and they’re making money off this stuff.”
