Shaquille O’Neal is amongst the richest sportsmen alive.

Shaquille O’Neal was an icon of NBA basketball by all means. With his lively presence and non-NBA activities, Superman earned a penchant in the world of entertainment too to go with his on-court success.

Smart investments and patterns of investment applied by Shaq have been the topic of many a conversation in his post-retirement career. Naturally, when quizzed about investments, Shaq was questioned about the latest fad investment.

Cryptocurrency.

O’Neal wasn’t having any of that.

What is Shaquille O’Neal’s take on investments in Cryptocurrency and NFTs?

On a podcast discussing his investments, Shaquille O’Neal candidly gave details on his opinion on cryptocurrency and NFT investments. Investing in these virtual digital assets had been the latest kid on the block garnering the attention of investors across the globe.

O’Neal is a simple man when it comes to investments. If he doesn’t understand what he is investing in, Superman does not give it the go-ahead.

Shaq admits to not being able to comprehend the web3 world with its NFTs and cryptocurrencies. O’Neal believes in real-world assets and their valuations, not in virtual intangible assets.

Shaquille O’Neal clearly had a point with the fluctuating nature of the market and the uncertainty surrounding Web3 investments. Maybe he was on to something early on? Experience tells.
