Confessions of a Digital Dinosaur: Why Esports is Underestimated

Wall Street loves nothing more than disruptive technologies and scalable consumer brands. If ever those two collide, money managers rush to close their study doors at night, yelling at their kids to turn off the videogames and finish homework before shuttering themselves away to research those rare stocks in quiet.
