“I have been absolutely obsessed with not only the collection of Pokémon Cards, but the culture behind collecting and the community of people interested in alternative forms of investment,‘’ said Martinez. “It was really fun to be able to share that with Whistle and their passionate likeminded audience of young investment enthusiasts and help educate.”
Subsequent episodes deal with NFTs, cryptocurrencies and investing in local businesses.
Through a survey, Whistle found that 66% of fans do some type of investing/betting, while 75% found that fans were interested in crypto. Crosby will act as Whistle’s audience’s guide into the space, asking the questions they have while learning alongside them, Team Whistle said. ■
