A newly established DAO has been set up with the goal of buying the legendary video rental brand, Blockbuster, and turning it into a streaming platform and film studio. The company, named BlockbusterDAO, intends to do so through raising at least $5 million. As recently explained in a tweet, the aptly named DAO aims to raise the funds through its Blockbuster DAO NFT minting event, where each NFT will be valued at 0.13 ETH (or $480 at the time of writing). The goal of BlockbusterDAO is to buy the video rental brand off its current owners, Dish Network, and reinvent it into being a mainstay of web3 brands and products, alongside being a powerhouse in the future of the film industry. To do this, the DAO plans to turn Blockbuster into the first ever decentralized film (DeFilm) streaming platform, a concept which sees films being made through decisions made on a blockchain.  www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2022/01/12/a-new-dao-wants-to-buy-blockbuster-and-it-has-one-key-supporter/?sh=2baec4a13a53nftplazas.com/introducing-blockbusterdao-the-re-inventors-of-blockbuster/

I don’t want it to turned into only a streaming platform but physical stores that alllow you to rent mainly video games, which still makes sense as a concept, and probably a small selection of physical higher k blu ray movies that are still being made.
