All past is IRRELEVANT to BONZ now…. And a little dd shows you are wrong again. Here is the link if you would like to educate yourself about BONZ. https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/BONZ/profile

NFT trading volume explodes 704% in the 3rd quarter as blockchain games catch fire
NFTs registered $10.7 billion in third-quarter trading volume, a 704% increase from the previous quarter, according to DappRadar.
NFT trading volume exploded in the third quarter, fueled by popular blockchain-based games, according to a report by industry analyst firm DappRadar.
NFTs registered $10.7 billion in third-quarter trading volume, a 704% increase from the previous quarter when the tally was under $2 billion. Much of that growth came from popular blockchain-based video games that use NFT collectibles, with names like Axie Infinity and Splinterlands.
In addition to active users, activity on these games is measured in terms of unique active wallets. On average, blockchain-based games attracted 754,000 unique active wallets each day during the third quarter, a 140% leap over the second quarter. Axie Infinity, the best-known game, broke 1.5 million active users over the span of the quarter.
The games let players earn money from NFTs won in-game, which can then be sold to others for payment in crypto in a model called play-to-earn.
Beyond games, art was also a top driver of volume.
The biggest NFT collection sold in the third quarter was "Ringers 879," a collection of abstract, geometric digital art that sold for a combined $5.7 million, or around 1,800 ether. And an ethereum-based image called "Some A--hole" was reportedly bought by Snoop Dogg for $3.9 million in September.
DappRadar estimated that the overall NFT market cap, measured by the biggest 100 collections as well as the NBA's video-clip NFT offering, was around $14.2 billion, with potential spillover effects for smaller collections.

-SA article quote
The only thing I see is that the 40% growth is qtr over qtr. imo to say quarterly implies year over year. But maybe I’m being too picky. The YoY quarterly growth is really almost 300%.
Here are Roman’s tweets to show what I mean..
Q4 21 revs +290% over Q4 20. Y/Y rev growth looking solid during full year of Covid-19 disruptions. 2021 Rev +80% at $1.55m VS. 2020 Rev of $861k $WINR $WINR https://t.co/FytAaHpsls

Maybe they can be part of NFT500. The platform drops next week!
At first glance it looks great my friend! Nice job. I’ll check it more detail later. I have a feeling eyeballs will be coming soon.
FYI New seeking alpha article about TAPM

Maybe. But fractions of a penny don’t matter to me. I’m building a position for after the merger filing. .015 or .02 is irrelevant to me. But you do you.
He will be. Give it a week or 2 for merger filing.
Plus in one is not in before filing of merger closing you’ll have missed these cheap shares imo
Yes. But the upcoming closing of reverse merger with Marvion will be THE BIG event! Could be at anytime imo.
This is the very issue that Marvion Media’s h-NFTs solve.

Many believe that non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are poised to revolutionize the esports industry. Current applications of NFTs in esports include awarding NFTs in place of physical tournament trophies, which is a much more efficient solution given the prevalence of online competitions today; and game publishers and esports organizations such as 100 Thieves and Simplicity Esports are integrating NFTs into consumer offerings in the form of digital player cards and collectible trading cards. While these applications represent just the start of what may become a booming use of NFTs in esports…
Add AR(Augmented Reality) to WINR list… Exclusive: Esports Insider article just out.
https://www.esportsinsider.com/2021/10/exclusive-arti-partners-with-estv-to-bring-ar-content-to-programming/
ESTV’s extensive list of official partners includes Esports Entertainment Group, Simplicity Esports, ESE Entertainment, and the NFL Alumni Association.
Arti Co-founder & CEO, Yaron Zakai-Or added: “ESTV viewers are used to the non-stop visual excitement of gaming, so they’re hungry for 3D graphics and AR in any esports content or commentary—making this partnership a very natural fit. We’re excited to partner with ESTV to bring the magic of AR to their content, and to provide an easy, flexible, affordable AR option for their many content partners.”
Once uplisted I don’t see any reason WINR shouldn’t become the top esports public play. The blue chip play of the sector. They have the most complete package and efficient use of assets imo. I think the uplist is just the start and sincerely expect triple digits as execution continues to unfold. Though I admit it has been an exercise in patience.

Exciting couple of weeks ahead! Can’t take that long to close a deal with a nothing shell.
I’m sure he would have rather done a PR also but they are in a quiet period till deal closes. Attorneys make the rules.
The drop prices are not as important as resale. They are on OKEx. You can sign up and check it out.
If you’re not accumulating now in this dip, likely next major buy signal will be when BONZ closes above .03 imo.
I thought I’d share a little dd I have accumulated. I hope this is useful.
With the S1 filed maybe the ball is going to get rolling here so here are the things I feel are significant for WINR. There may be more but this is what I have at hand. This all is in addition to the obvious things; ie. the share structure(float), insider ownership of 30%+, the fact that Jed and Roman have been taking only stock as a salary since this has been public, not to mention esports is a whole new industry being created. The revenue progress at Simplicity exemplifies this. From University and colleges giving scholarships to esports athletes and also offering majors in esports. High schools around the country are now starting to offer esports as a varsity sport. Rumors the Olympics will add esports soon also. Major brands now spending huge sums advertising to the esports demographic.

NFTs drive sales of contemporary art to record £2.7bn
Non-fungible tokens boost post-pandemic recovery as Hong Kong emerges to challenge New York
Contemporary art auctions rebounded to an all-time high of $2.7bn over the past year, boosted by online sales and the arrival of digital art in the form of “NFTs”, according to an annual report by Artprice.
Having seen sales collapse by a third in the previous year because of the initial crisis caused by the pandemic, sales soared between June 2020 and June 2021 as auctioneers quickly adopted a more online approach.
“Photography and prints have been particularly successful in this new online environment and in 2021, we have seen the sensational arrival of completely dematerialised artworks, the famous NFTs,” said the Artprice CEO, Thierry Ehrmann, in a foreword to the report.
Q&A
What are non-fungible tokens (NFTs)?
Show
NFTs, or “non-fungible tokens”, allow people to buy the rights to online art, including images, animation or even tweets.
In March, the US artist Beeple sold an NFT of his digital artwork Everydays: The First 5,000 Days for $69.3m (£51m) to an Indian blockchain entrepreneur – the third-highest price achieved by a living artist.
Christie’s said 22 million people, nearly 60% under the age of 40, logged in to the sale, the first public auction of an NFT.
NFTs accounted for a third of online sales, and 2% of the overall art market.
Banksy work is burned

Banksy got in on the game shortly afterwards, selling an NFT of his work Morons, which featured an auctioneer selling a painting with the inscription: “I can’t believe you morons actually buy this shit”, for $380,000 (£280,000).
But Artprice said another key driver of growth was the emergence of the Asian market, with Hong Kong establishing itself as the contemporary art world’s second city after New York.
China beat the US for auction turnover, taking 40% of sales to America’s 32%. Britain was in third place with 16%.
“In effect, Hong Kong is now playing an accelerator role for the most prominent young western artists and it is establishing itself as New York’s primary competitor,” said Ehrmann.
The highest-selling contemporary artist remains Jean-Michel Basquiat, who died in 1988 but generated $93.1m in sales over the past year.
Beeple comes in second thanks to his landmark NFT sale.
But the third place is also surprising: 68-year-old Chinese artist Chen Danqing, who has lived in the US since the 1980s, who was propelled by a $25.2m sale in Beijing for his oil painting Shepherds in June, a record for Chinese art.
In terms of volume, the most popular artist is 3D artist Kaws, who is collected by pop stars including Justin Bieber and Pharrell Williams.
Kaws sold 1,682 works over the year, just ahead of another pop star favourite, Takashi Murakami, who has frequently worked with Billie Eilish and sold 1,591 lots.
Any talking point about the past is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT NOW. HELLO MARVION MEDIA!!
BONZ NEW HIGH ON THE DAY!
Yes. BONZ WAS a worthless shell that owned “goldmines” but that was the past and isn’t relevant anymore. I did a little dd on Marvion Media and Julian So to figure that out. DD is so beneficial imo.
It’ll be front page news like so many NFTs have been recently. ie. Bored Ape NFTs, etc.
This sale could get a huge amount of attention depending on the final price.
Yes. A textbook retracement. 50% from move bottom to top, almost exactly atm. News of merger papers filed will be a HUGE upcoming catalyst. But for this week The World’s first hybrid NFT is definitely the next event.
I saw this article about Sorare platform being valued at $4.3 BILLION makes you realize the money to be made in NFTs currently. Pretty exciting times ahead. Definitely follow Julian So Chairman of Marvion Media on Twitter @Julianshm he’s starting to use it more lately it seems.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/valued-at-4-3b-nft-platform-sorare-to-invest-in-women-s-sports
TAPM’s NFT500 platform release week of 11th likely a major catalyst if this valuation is any indication
Valued at $4.3B, NFT platform Sorare to invest in women’s sports
“We believe that NFTs can significantly accelerate the development of women’s sports,” Sorare CEO Nicolas Julia told Cointelegraph.
Following a $680-million funding round, nonfungible token (NFT) marketplace Sorare is looking to be an active player in bridging the gap between sports and digital entertainment.
Now valued at $4.3 billion, Sorare told Cointelegraph that the company plans to use the fresh capital to expand its business with new hires and partnerships, as well as support community-led programs.
Besides working with community-led football programs aimed at helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and backing underprivileged entrepreneurs in sports and gaming, Sorare CEO Nicolas Julia explained via email that the NFT unicorn would also support female representation in sports. He said:
“We believe that NFTs can significantly accelerate the development of women’s sports. We will actively invest in this by beginning with women’s football.”
Sorare, a Paris-based NFT marketplace focused on sports, made headlines in September following a SoftBank-led $680-million Series B funding.
Julia further detailed how Sorare was going to use the raised capital for business purposes, starting with the new hires to expand the team. “We’re looking to fill many new roles,” he said, both in Europe and the United States.
He added that new partnerships would introduce new football leagues and national teams to the NFT marketplace. Such partnerships require an upfront payment, and Sorare is loaded enough to sign the deal with the top 20 leagues and top 50 national teams, thanks to the hefty funding.
Sorare also plans to reserve some part of the funds for mobile and marketing efforts. “Our fantasy game will be a mobile-first experience,” Julia explained, adding that the company’s growth was organic until now.
The last topic on Sorare’s agenda is to bring new sports to the platform. “We’ve received interest from leagues and fans across the globe to replicate our model in other sports,” Julia said.

Lockdown trailer
Upcoming Film ‘Lockdown’ to be Sold as Hybrid-NFT Before Release on October 5th
An upcoming movie, Lockdown, is being sold as a hybrid-NFT before its global release.
NFT tickets are also available for those who want to attend the premiers in Hong Kong or the United Kingdom.
The h-NFT project is being led by Marvion Media Limited, the world's first hybrid NFT company.
The movie is centered around a global pandemic and will be offered as a hybrid non-fungible (h-NFT) before it hits theaters.
“Lockdown” is an upcoming thriller movie set during a pandemic is set to hit theaters in November 2021. The gist of the movie is that an actor played by Kevin Leslie enters an audition where he is forced to take part in a series of tests that determine the fate of others in the room. The movie co-stars Xander Berkely along with supporting performances from Anita Chui, John Savage, Alix Wilton Regan, and Pamela Nomvete.
According to producer and director Bizhan Tong, “‘Lockdown’ is a commentary on the events of 2020 including our increased reliance on technology and the innovative ways in which it can be used. While we purposely eschewed making a ‘Zoom movie’ in favor of shooting on location to create a cinematic experience that feels both familiar and expansive, the use of NFTs fits with the themes of the film and the groundbreaking nature of our production.”
Hybrid NFT collection
Marvion Media is planning to release five limited-edition h-NFTs in the month leading up to the release of the film. Additionally, NFT tickets will be offered to the public for the chance to attend either the Hong Kong or the United Kingdom premieres.
Marvion Media Limited is a blockchain company that has the world’s first hybrid NFT company. According to Marvion, an h-NFT is “an integrated, best in class, a smart contract that can execute a transaction and also contains the specific legal terms of the intellectual property ownership and license.” Each h-NFT contains five key features. SPA for the purchase of the license, evidence of ownership of intellectual property, transfer deed for the transfer of the licenses to h-NFT holders, ownership titles, and image/video/music files. The idea is to bring together the digital metaverse and the physical experience of enjoying art or music.
In a press release, Marvion added that they “will be adopting their Hybrid NFT (h-NFT) format across all minted NFTs. The h-NFTs will undergo full know-your-client (KYC) and verification processes prior to Marvion.”
In a separate statement, the interim CEO of Marvion said that the company is focused on tackling one of the biggest concerns surrounding NFT ownership. Who owns the intellectual property (IP)? “Many NFT investors we have engaged with are unaware that as an NFT owner, they do not own the underlying IP associated with the artwork within the NFT smart contract.” In most cases, the IP continues to stay with the artist meaning that NFT owners have no right to take any legal action against intellectual property issues.
