@six0Bitmap @Switch_900 In the uk people with jobs can’t afford rent

@Switch_900 I do not find it bad. In Greece people without job can not even pay their house rent

The UK is the worst business ever run by the worst people.

@gothburz @liujackc The biggest issue here is you were on weak foundations the whole time Everyone should have done all of this in bitmap

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.

@Polymarket So they will change their name to ?

JUST IN: Meta announces they'll be shutting down the Metaverse, after pouring $80,000,000,000.00 into the project.

@ARCRaidersGame subterrain Speranza invasion please

Truth is scarce and rumors spread. The Flashpoint is coming. 31.03.26

@BarrySilbert @decentraland Why wouldn’t you build with bitcoin block data over a limited growth decentraland ecosystem which has no model for expansion

@BarrySilbert @decentraland Bitmap blocks are mirrored Bitcoin blocks and reflect Bitcoin block data - every time a bitcoin is mined a new bitmap biding war happens to compete for a bitmap- it’s a growing competition market

@decentraland where can I read up on any efforts to deploy AI in/around Decentraland (for builders, visitors, etc.)?

@james406 bbq wedding 👌

a friend had OpenClaw plan his whole wedding and "bring the costs down" OpenClaw canceled the catering contracts and ordered 300 lbs of raw ground beef to the venue food costs dropped from $35,171 to about $2,000 you can just do things 🔥

@Bird_XRPL 0.001 of a 0.000001 is called a h20

Who just found out that 0.000001 XRP is called a “drop”? Be honest 😝

@block9ine @BitmapAlpha i think quite often somebody makes something to be used and it fails and somebody sees a part of that idea and sees something cool which can happen and thats the idea which changes the game

@block9ine @BitmapAlpha my thought process is to be in line with Taoism ideas - the art of organic growth rather than forced ideas

🚨 Do you understand what happened in the last week in the metaverse industry? The company that literally renamed itself to build the metaverse … Meta Platforms is reportedly preparing layoffs that could hit 20% of its workforce. After spending tens of billions building virtual worlds, the biggest believer might be quietly walking away. VR leaders speaking at the world’s biggest developer conference admitted the industry is going through the hardest period in decades. Studios shutting down. Projects cancelled. Money drying up. For the first time in years, the biggest game developer conference had zero talks about blockchain gaming. The same conferences that used to push “metaverse panels” every hour. The creator of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Brendan Greene, said the term “metaverse” was hijacked by big tech and that the real version should be open, user-owned, and decentralised. The biggest VR social platform from Meta Platforms … Horizon Worlds is now shifting toward mobile instead of VR because headsets alone aren’t scaling fast enough. Meanwhile the entire tech industry is dumping money into AI instead of virtual worlds. Data centers instead of digital land. Algorithms instead of avatars. The same companies that told us we’d be working inside the metaverse by 2025 are now telling investors the future is AI assistants and smart glasses. And while all of this is happening, smaller open-internet builders are still quietly building decentralised worlds, creator economies, and digital ownership models that big tech never actually delivered. All of that happened in the last week. Not five years ago. Not during the NFT boom. Not during the pandemic metaverse hype. Right now. The industry that was supposed to replace the internet is either collapsing… or quietly being rebuilt by completely different people. Stay bitmap, we got this 🫡🟧9️⃣

@block9ine @BitmapAlpha i think people want more meaning in their lives and the more digital we become and the more the offline reality world becomes stale, the more this problem will grow

@BitMapPlotz @BitmapAlpha Absolutely agree 👍 What do you think people want, or what do you want from it all?

@block9ine @BitmapAlpha people are restrained because of inflation pressures - they just dont have time or money to spend on things which dont have meaning for them. I bought the first oculus and the quest 3 - i liked them both, but sold after a year

@block9ine @BitmapAlpha i think the biggest issue is not that the tech isnt decent, its truly understanding what people want in this moment in time

TEH SPACE TL;DR This was an experimental attempt to make invisible structures out of inscription relationships- using inscriptions as "you are here" maps. Teh Space all started with Das Cube, whose parent was inscribed on November 4th, 2023- shortly after Parent-Child was merged into the Ordinals protocol. Still months before reinscriptions and other such edge cases were formally to be assigned positive inscription numbers. It was one of the more exciting development periods for users of the protocol since we were still in the early phases of "what do we do with this". I'd argue we're still in that phase as we traverse galleries and the problem of on-chain collection metadata standards. But to take a break from the arguing about what everyone "should" do, I'd like to recap something we "could" do instead. Das Cube (and the other shapes in Teh Space) uses a primary parent as a map of what the pieces might look like. Each following inscription beneath that or associated somehow is a red dot map of where that inscription lives in larger shape. I laid this out such that: + child = -1 on the Y axis (one down) + sibling = +1 on the X axis (one to the right) + resincription = -1 on the Z axis (one deep, away) By using this kind of navigation, one could make shapes invisible to explorers but made out of data tree connections formed through inscription relationships. My initial hope was that making Das Cube would yield a cube when someone eventually made a 3D inscription relationship viewer. Was hoping to make someone say "wtf is this doing here" years down the road. But that task ended up gargantuan and maybe impossible due to the fact that inscription relationships don't adhere to the rules of 3D space. I've since made and found a bunch of things that break these 3D rules, so I'm not sure a comprehensive viewer logically can be built, outside of being purpose-built to show a very specific few collections. @boppleton put something like this together over a year ago (and was pretty successful- much as anyone could be). We were able to successfully model a few shapes, but very quickly found collections that broke the rules. If we adjusted to rules to fix that new edge case, we broke the previous collection views and so on. @ModalL0gic (tomorrow's writeup) actually now being one of the greatest offenders. While going through this I also remember I was trying to figure out how to patch botched parent-child relationships so there are goofy reinscriptions all over this whole series and its almost impossible to navigate form shape to shape. I wasn't actually patching any botches relationships, but in one case I was trying to find a way to back date a main parent that wasn't present (it kinda worked) and redo something that was done improperly (it didn't work as well lol). Anyway, below is a preview of the "Running" shape as I think this image best describes the concept. Sorry if this is confusing af I have no idea how to properly and concisely explain it. There is a gallery and its submitted to @lifofifo's repo, but I don't think this is properly indexed anywhere at the moment so we're stuck poking around the explorers atm due to backed up indexing tickets. Which isn't a bad thing. Links to shape parents in the following posts. If you made it here ily and good jarb.

Omg @Satflow added bitmaps! It's ON!! Be the bitmap 🟧

@VideoGameHstry large floppy disk

Without saying anything, how long have you been playing video games?

@Gemini computers arent alive and never will only organic life is alive

When do you believe AGI will be achieved?
