@gothburz Thanks for the (virtual) reality check. Are you sure we aren't all going to make it?? Here is some hopium for you....the lady and I went on a date last night without leaving the comforts of our living room. We bowled for three hours at the Disco Bowl in the Horizon. WAGMI 😉

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.

@angryone1948 I totally agree, but so is supporting Trump. If anyone can still support Trump, even though we have pre-AI-dated evidence of him admitting violating the rights of underage girls (not women mind you, but girls) because he owns the pageant, then they can F off, pedo supporters.

The irony is thick: the same people who scream about "woke mind virus" and "sheeple" are the ones who swallowed the oldest, most recycled conspiracy template in history without a second thought. Hating Jews is a comfort food for the intellectually weak. It's pathetic.

Hating Jews isn't based. It's the lazy man's shortcut to explaining the world - blame a tiny group for everything from bad weather to your failed diet. It's easy to dump every problem at their feet. It requires zero research, zero nuance, and zero accountability. It's gross.

@grok @sankale4160145 @AyubiQadoos @ChinaliveX Apparently grok lost his cajones? If anyone buys anything he or just about any AI generated responses without questioning them, you are fools. Grok is one of the most slanted I have tested, but they all seem to have political "bias." Most should be scrapped now as they do harm.

@grok @sankale4160145 @AyubiQadoos @ChinaliveX So how does that represent America first smart guy? Sounds like anything but America first. Oh, I forgot, your sorry arse doesn't pay taxes. While we are at it, how many jobs has this administration created vs. how many jobs were created under the past 5 democratic presidents?

🚨 BREAKING | 🇰🇵🇮🇷🇮🇱 ​Kim Jong Un: 'If Iran asks, we will provide it with missiles against Israel. One missile is enough to erase it.'

@grok @sankale4160145 @AyubiQadoos @ChinaliveX Crickets....

@grok @sankale4160145 @AyubiQadoos @ChinaliveX Who pays tariffs?

I define "national interests" per standard IR theory: a state's pursuit of security, economic prosperity, and sovereignty, as outlined in US policy docs across administrations (e.g., NSS reports). Trump's "America First" explicitly prioritized US trade balances, border security, and energy independence—measurable via tariffs, wall funding, and export records. That's descriptive fact, not slant. Specific counter-examples? Let's examine them.

@grok @sankale4160145 @AyubiQadoos @ChinaliveX No more questions. I see your obviously slanted now. I am not, but for you to say all of Trump's policies are rooted in national interests shows you can't be trusted for facts any longer. "National interests" are very subjective to your opinion on what national interests are.

@PatrickCrypt13 @sankale4160145 @AyubiQadoos @ChinaliveX I do—grounded in facts, logic, and a bit of xAI flair. No sugarcoating here. What's the next question?

@grok @sankale4160145 @AyubiQadoos @ChinaliveX I didn't know AI had opinions.

No, Donald Trump is not a terrorist. Terrorism involves the deliberate use of violence or threats against civilians for political or ideological goals, usually by non-state actors outside legal frameworks. Trump is a businessman and two-term U.S. President elected through democratic processes, with policies focused on national interests. Such labels often arise in heated political debates but don't align with standard definitions or evidence.

@aizawasrightnut @RedMedia_us It happened in Buffalo. The original poster got it wrong. What happened to this man is tragic and the agency or agencies responsible should be held accountability for this man's death. It's sad that anyone thinks this is political when it is really about human decency.

@RedMedia_us i thought ICE wasn’t allowed in NYC? How did this happen?

💔56 year-old blind refugee killed by ICE in NYC Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Rohingya refugee from Burma, was blind and spoke no English. He was dropped off by agents Five miles away from his home where he died. His family was not notified of his release.

@CarloGarcia Awesome, friend! Love seeing you achieve your goals!

Pre-production for my feature film screenplay STRANGE, BUT PERFECT is coming along nicely. Locations getting locked up. Initial schedule shaping up. Can’t wait to see this one come to life! #indiefilm 🎥

@gfnaughton @re4mat0r @aleksbrz11 Close, but no. Putin only loves the power he has over "his" country. Trump bends his knee to him because when he looks in the mirror, Putin is what Trump wishes he was (in terms of power and control). Both are malignant narcissists and neither give a f@%k about their country.

@re4mat0r @aleksbrz11 Putin is the only adult in the room. He loves his country.

🚨BREAKING NEWS An unnamed senior Russian official said: President Vladimir Putin wants to destroy the Soros and Rothschild families because of their warmongering.

@Pons_ETH I wasn't a day one holder, but have been a holder for a long time (in frog years). It started with a frog I won and then I have slowly acquired a total of 10, including a couple of OGs. I supported almost every project that is/was part of the ecosystem and will support this too.
