ABOUT
Kevin O'Leary joins the mainstage at Consensus wearing a $5.2 million Michael Jordan card around his neck and explains why collectibles have become his best-performing asset class, including a 3am bidding war that cost him nearly $13 million. He then breaks down why 97% of institutional crypto interest is concentrated in just BTC and ETH, why altcoins got slaughtered, and what it will actually take for blockchain to get adopted by the S&P 500. Plus, why he thinks power infrastructure and data centers are a better bet than picking crypto winners.
