The more things change....

Video games taught gamers about Bitcoin before Bitcoin existed.

Wow, de belastingen verhogen om de oorlogkas te spekken. Een soort 'oorlogsbijdrage'. Dat zouden we hier nooit doen.

Je verwacht het niet

THE BIGGEST LOCKDOWN SINCE COVID IS COMING AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WARN YOU UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE This is not about the war. This is about what the war is doing to your life. Here's the domino chain nobody is talking about: Oil goes to $110, $150, $175 a barrel. Airlines start cutting flights. United just cut 5% this week. Their CEO is planning for $175 oil through the END OF 2027. Trucking costs explode. Every product in every store gets more expensive. Fertilizer stops moving through Hormuz. Farmers pay more. Food costs more. Gas goes to $5, $6, $7 a gallon. You start driving less. Then governments start TELLING you to drive less. Japan is rationing fuel right now. South Korea is rationing fuel right now. Bangladesh. Philippines. All rationing. Australia's government is telling people to "avoid non-essential journeys." That is EXACTLY what they said in COVID. "Avoid non-essential travel." "Work from home." "Only go out for essential purposes." They called it a health measure in 2020. They will call it an energy measure in 2026. The result is the same. You do not leave your house without permission. And they will never call it a lockdown.

Sim gamers know what this means

Just so we’re all clear on what this means: Syria is ran by Al-Qaeda. The US has asked Al-Qaeda for help. The same Al-Qaeda they want you to believe killed 3,000 Americans on 9/11. This is how stupid they think you are. They are laughing in your face.

My net worth peaked at $1.2 million. None of it was real. I don't mean that philosophically. I mean it was located on servers that have since been turned off. I own eleven properties in the metaverse. Three in Decentraland. Four in The Sandbox. Two in Voxels. One in Otherside. And a beachfront villa in Horizon Worlds that I bought for $214,000 because Mark Zuckerberg called it "the next frontier." The frontier closed last week. It's a mobile app now. Last year I mass DM'd 340 people the phrase "you don't understand how early we are." I have since stopped doing that. Not because I was wrong. Because most of them blocked me. I got into metaverse real estate in November 2021. Everyone was buying. Someone paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg's neighbor. In a video game. With no legs. The avatars didn't have legs. I thought that was bullish. "The legs are coming," I told my Discord. "Legs are a roadmap item." Three hundred people reacted with rocket emojis. I called myself a "digital land baron." I put it in my Twitter bio. I put it in my LinkedIn headline. I said it on a podcast that had eleven listeners. Three of them were bots. The rest were my alts. My virtual property has more square footage than my actual apartment. My actual apartment has furniture. Location, location, location. My most valuable asset was a plot next to a virtual Gucci store. Gucci left in 2023. The store is still there. Nobody's in it. It's like a mall in Ohio but with worse graphics and no food court. I held. Diamond hands. That's what we said. "Diamond hands." It means refusing to sell while your investment loses 94% of its value. We turned financial paralysis into a personality trait. A guy in my Discord paid $2.4 million for a 618-parcel estate in Decentraland. Prime district. High foot traffic. I asked him what "foot traffic" meant when the platform had 38 daily active users. He said I didn't understand the technology. I didn't. I still bought more. We had a DAO. A decentralized autonomous organization. That means we voted on decisions. There were nine of us. Three never showed up. Two voted on everything without reading it. The other four were me and my alts. We voted to "acquire strategic parcels." The vote passed unanimously. I voted four times. My portfolio peaked at $1.2 million. I told everyone. I made a spreadsheet. I projected 40x returns by 2025. I made a pitch deck. The pitch deck had a slide that said "WE ARE BUILDING THE DIGITAL ECONOMY." The slide had a rocket emoji. That was my entire financial model. In 2023 I bought a Bored Ape for $189,000. It's worth $14,000 now. I don't talk about the Ape. I still use it as my profile picture. People ask me about it. I say "I'm long-term bullish." Long-term bullish means I can't sell it without crying in a Panera. My mom asked me what a Bored Ape was. I said "digital art on the blockchain." She asked why it cost more than her car. I said "you don't understand Web3." She said "I understand you live in a studio apartment." She's not in my Discord. Justin Bieber bought one for $1.3 million. It's worth about $90,000 now. I felt better about mine after I heard that. That's community. WAGMI. We're All Gonna Make It. We said that every day. In the group chat. While the floor dropped. While the volume dried up. While 95% of all NFT collections went to zero. We're all gonna make it. None of us made it. But we said it with conviction and a laser-eye profile picture. That counts for something. It doesn't. But we said it did. That's decentralized consensus. Meta spent $84 billion on the metaverse. I need to say that again. $84 billion. More than the GDP of Luxembourg. More than the GDP of Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta combined. They spent it on a platform where the avatars had no legs, the graphics looked like a 2006 Wii game, and the peak user count was lower than the lunch rush at a Chipotle in Des Moines. They just pulled Horizon Worlds from VR headsets. It lives on as a mobile app. My beachfront villa is now a mobile app. Location, location, location. Zuckerberg renamed the entire company for this. Facebook became Meta. A $900 billion company changed its legal name because the CEO watched Ready Player One and said "I want that." Reality Labs lost $10 billion in 2021. $14 billion in 2022. $16 billion in 2023. $18 billion in 2024. $19 billion in 2025. That's not a strategy. That's a speedrun. They laid off 1,500 Reality Labs employees this year. Shut down three VR studios. Killed Supernatural. Put the entire VR social vision in a casket and said "we're pivoting to AI and wearables." The pivot took four years and $84 billion. I pivoted too. I'm an AI real estate investor now. I bought a virtual plot in an AI-generated world that doesn't exist yet. The founder said it was "the intersection of spatial computing and large language models." I don't know what that means. I gave him $40,000. He has a whitepaper. It's 47 pages. I read the title and the tokenomics section. The tokenomics section is a pie chart. I love pie charts. They make everything look like a plan. The project has a roadmap. Q1: "Build community." Q2: "Launch beta." Q3: "Scale ecosystem." Q4 is blank. Q4 is always blank. That's where the exit scam goes. My accountant asked me to value my metaverse portfolio for tax purposes. I said $1.2 million. He said "current market value." I said $6,400. He stared at me for eleven seconds. I know because I counted. He asked if I had any other investments. I showed him my NFTs. He stared for longer. I told him they were "cultural artifacts with long-term provenance." He asked if I'd considered a 401k. I told him a 401k was "legacy finance." He told me to leave his office. The metaverse is dead. I don't accept that. I am a digital land baron. I own eleven properties across four platforms. I have a beachfront villa in a mobile app, a plot next to an empty Gucci store, and a cartoon monkey that cost me more than my actual car. Location, location, location. The location is nowhere. But I'm early. I'm always early. That's the same as being wrong except you get to say it with confidence.

"periodic age verification" is the pretense to hide the digital control ID. No such period verification is needed, since people are not known to get younger, suddenly becoming underaged. They think we are stupid.

Absolute bombshell. Mearsheimer reveals Trump secretly allowed Iran to sell its oil to keep global prices under 100 dollars. But Israel intentionally bombed Iranian gas fields to ruin the plan, sending prices skyrocketing and destroying the US economy.

BREAKING: Meta is shutting down the Metaverse after spending $80 Billion on the project

@arnowellens 🤣

Kwaliteitsjournalistiek?

Afgelopen donderdag in blckbx Today, @GKBoris over hoe de Nederlandse belastingbetaler wordt uitgeknepen.

@AlexSchoonkind @Polymarket Ze kijken brievenmaandag!

@Polymarket @GKBoris

We're excited to announce 'The Situation Room' by Polymarket is coming to Washington, D.C. The world's first bar dedicated to monitoring the situation. 🧵

Lekker bezig, Rob!

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a tool that turns the real world into a playable Minecraft map. It pulls data directly from OpenStreetMap and generates your exact neighborhood, city, or street block by block. 100% Open Source.

Good morning

Als die 20% zich als coherente politieke groep zou organiseren: 2-3 miljoen potentiële kiezers 30-40 zetels in de Tweede Kamer Dat zou de op-een-na-grootste tot derde partij zijn Daarnaast is het natuurlijk een opwaartse trend. 🧐

What happened in 2021?

Breaking!!!! 😂

Het is een schande

Er kunnen met gemak 100.000 ambtenaren naar huis worden gestuurd zonder, dat we er ook maar iets van merken. We zouden daarmee de accijns op benzine en energie flink omlaag kunnen brengen.
