The Cleveland Cavaliers are preparing to launch a digital application where fans can buy and sell unique Cavs NFTs. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers are jumping into the nonfungible token (NFT) craze but are taking a different approach than other NBA teams by creating a digital application where fans can buy and sell unique Cavs NFTs.

NFTs are unique pieces of digital content that can be bought and sold through cryptocurrency.

The Cavs are planning to launch the digital application in October where fans will be able to store their NFTs in a digital locker. Senior Vice President Mike Conley says this approach will allow fans to build a community around sharing the digital content, a different approach from other teams who simply auctioned them off.

Conley: building a community as part of brand

 

“Because we expect to be in the space for much longer than a month, two months. We look at this as a very long-term strategy and part of our brand,” Conley said.

Fans will be able to purchase NFTs and earn them through actions that support the team such as attending a certain number of home games. Conley says there’s already a lot of interest, with more than 3,000 people signing up for direct notifications about the NFT launch.

The Scion
A young figure caught in a moment of distraction, aware only ephemerally of his unconscious being, as it engages in psychological and psychedelic layer spaces. His right arm casually cradles a moray eel; the figure is comfortable but not truly aware of the potentials for danger in such negligence. His shirt reads “Bello” in Pokemon style font, harkening back to a childhood straddling the millennial threshold. To his right side, out of the unconscious deep, shrouded alien heads propagate as a fractal totem, each new iteration a more sophisticated rendering of emotional masking over the cold mystery of the greys. As the scion of the Budgie-Sattva, the young man, in his distraction, is also simultaneously aware of higher levels of self discovery. To his left a psychological topology sets beneath the oracle side of an 8 ball ,hovering; its message a purest concept of acceptance. The “Scion” lettering is in 80’s HeMan style bold declaration. The lower right side of the painting is like a hybrid of melon, feathers, and seeds. The crystals in the background bring light; conducted, refracted, reflected, and dispersed, to balance the dark shadow of the figure’s physical body. The aura of the scion succeeds in layers to point, with a finger, and the crown chakra, toward a center of a mandala existing as nigh pure application of strokes, in essence painterly abstraction, but also revealing hints of the Aura of migraine, and the bi-hemispherical nature of the brain–noting concerns of the possibility of inherited mental disease. Yet the flourish of chakra as it sets against that center is robust, active, coherent, and reveling against all fear. Fundamentally, the piece speaks to the activation of one’s potential to begin to “Know Thyself”, and find greater awareness out of the enigmas of the mind–as an inculcated seed given to the rich soil of one’s own birthright.
