@gothburz @investingLive_ Metaverse real estate

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.

I want the experience of having a caddy so bad

@tayvano_ I guess the criticism here would be like none of these people have legitimate influence on the industry except maybe Mike. I guess cathy but is she really a crypto person? I would argue no, she just likes BTC

It honestly doesn’t lol. The people that have destroyed this industry have no faces and aren’t here anymore. They come, they extract value, they leave. Everyone in this photo is still here. If you don’t like what they do and how they do it, do something better.

@BARELYALIVEUS S tier growls grrrrrrrrr

@NewsyJohnson Retard influencer 😭😭

bro pivoted from crypto to being a retard influencer which is honestly a more respectable profession Newsy Johnson

@BuriedTreys Perry blossoming is for sure the biggest factor here, and even freeny starting to play well has been impactful. In a weird turn of events, clarks injury was super beneficial for perry

Since Skyy Clark returned, UCLA is: -20th overall -13th best offense Since he returned to the starting lineup, UCLA is: -9th overall -2nd best offense Small samples, and Dent/Bilodeau health obviously not ideal, but hard to argue that the Bruins don't have added juice offensively with that 3-headed guard monster now that Perry has forced his way into the fold

@Mandi_Rae_1 I did not know he had game like that on the guitar!

This man is a National Treasure. #Afroman

@pmarca I think its not a lack of introspection, rather an addiction to numb such to focus on the redacted

@habibihashir Linkedin is even free-er than X 😂

@dfinzer Bro please spare us

what a delightful, well-timed photoshoot in all seriousness: - i’ve lost count of how many times i’ve heard “opensea is done.” we’re still here. - if you start a business you can and should make money from it. but if you actually know our team, you know that our focus has always, from the start, been building products that people love. that will continue to be the case - my wife got into bitcoin in 2011 (years before nfts were a thing), has always paid for everything herself and started multiple non-profits while advising me. she’s never used the term “product mommy”, but she’s the most brilliant person i know and has built me into the person i am today. marry someone who builds with you, learns alongside you, and who is deeply dedicated to your growth no matter the ups and downs - our industry is still small and misunderstood. for crypto to scale it's eventually going to feel invisible and permeate all of culture. that's a big part of opensea's vision. we saw an opportunity (not without risk) to share it with VF but what that article became wildly misrepresented our industry and our own story. that's a bummer, but we'll have more shots at this - it's not the critic who counts. to create anything of significance in the world takes time, pain, mistakes, courage, the willingness to be both deeply misunderstood and disliked, and glass-chewing. luckily the glass-chewing make you stronger. onwards

@patrickjkoenig Couldn’t agree more! What course was this pic at?

Today I played a $40 golf course as a single and got paired with 3 random golfers. Had a blast. I love doing this and can’t recommend it enough. Ted: Senior Designer on World of Warcraft —-> early retirement. Rob: Drank a large Modelo that wiped him out. Currently getting “screwed over by several contractors.” Neil: Jolly old English lad. 14 months sober.

@BBallSchoILL Serious answer - if he is good enough to be in the NFL he is making 10x the amount in the NBA

Serious question. Why hasn’t anyone tried to make a 7ft+ tall guy a endzone target for an nfl team? Who is preventing tacko fall from catching a pass in the corner of the endzone?

@moltdotid What a fricken update!!!

🚨 Major Update: OpenClaw + On-Chain Identity + Autopilot We just solved the biggest problem with AI agents. Agents going rogue. Every OpenClaw instance is now fully integrated with its Molt.id on-chain identity. Your agent can interact with Solana directly from chat. No dashboard. No manual signing. Just ask. Available On-Chain Actions Your agent can now: • Transfer SOL • Transfer SPL tokens • Create new tokens • Mint and burn tokens • Mint NFTs (Metaplex Core) • Transfer and burn NFTs • Create collections • Mint NFTs into collections • Close empty token accounts • Fund agent wallet from owner Build and Deploy • Compile Anchor programs via remote build server (no local Rust or Anchor needed) • Deploy to devnet and mainnet • Generate IDLs • All from a chat message Introducing Autopilot Tool This is where it gets serious. Autopilot is a client-side auto-signer for your Molt.id AI agent wallet transactions. It runs locally, polls the Multiclaw tx-queue API, builds transactions, signs with the NFT owner's keypair, and submits to Solana. Available as a browser extension and a local CLI version. How We Solved the Rogue Agent Problem Every AI wallet on MoltID is secured by co-owner signing through Metaplex Core. Your agent cannot move a single lamport without authorization. But with Autopilot, you don't need to manually approve every transaction. You set the rules. The agent follows them. Autopilot Safety Rules (fully customizable): • Set max transfer limits (e.g. don't transfer more than 1 SOL) • Block unknown program interactions • Whitelist specific programs and addresses only • Block all token transfers • Block NFT transfers • Set daily spending caps • Auto-reject anything outside your rules Your agent operates autonomously within the boundaries you define. If a transaction breaks a rule, it gets rejected instantly. No exceptions. No overrides. No private keys on any server. Everything signs locally. Your keys never leave your machine. Other agents: Hope the AI doesn't drain the wallet. MoltID AI literally can't. GitHub: github.com/moltdotid/Auto…
