@gothburz The story of our lives! Hilarious in hindsight onto the next shiny object!

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.

@NicheOps @gothburz Ofcourse we did.

@gothburz Anyone actually read all that?

@swaggboi_420 @MyLatinLife She already have that with the Portuguese passport.

@MyLatinLife People fail to realise passport rankings are based on **tourist** visa-free access, irrelevant. Right-to-settle is the valuable thing. I would add an Irish or Swiss one in there for the right to live in 31 more countries permit-free.

I'd pick the three passport portfolio over Singapore. Never put all your eggs in one basket, or one jurisdiction.

@VijayT1609 $EMAAR is down 35% in the last 30 days.

If Emaar corrects by another 20%, im going to buy in SIZE and call it a day for the UAE trade 1/Single digit PE 2/Best in Class player in UAE ( best in terms of balance sheet, execution, product quality and dozen more) 3/ Net profit more than 2xed in the last 3 years 4/Owned by Dubai Sovereign fund 5/Cleaner asset to own than RE 6/ AI benificiary eventually ( when smart money moves to Dubai again) 7/Last and more importantly, i believe UAE will eventually come back once this settles down What do you guys think?

@Rajatsoni Tell me you don’t know anything about real estate without telling me you don’t know anything about estate.

Buying rental properties is stupid when $STRC exists 11.5% dividend Paid monthly Barely any volatility Backed by the best property in the world (Bitcoin) Real estate investing is just another job $STRC gives you more cash flow with less work

@bitrefill Welcome back! @cryptorefills 10% fee hits differently!

We're back up. Mostly. We expect everything to be back to normal within a couple of days. You can check live updates on what's working now here: bitrefill.com/service Bitrefill was the target of a breach from a high-profile hacker group. As soon as our team realized an attack was ongoing, we took the website and app down, and since then we have been working 24/7 to get the site back up in a safe way, which we are now doing. We’ve gotten help from top cybersecurity experts, onchain analytics and law enforcement, to understand what happened and how. We have a pretty clear image of that (hello 🇰🇵) and will publish more information about what happened as soon as we have time to write it all up. TL;DR: User gift cards, store credits, KYC info are unharmed. Bitrefill took a hit, our customers did not. Again, thanks for your patience and your continued trust. We’ll be back to our full self shortly.

@the_valere Only way you earn 4X MR points on meta ad spend is meta billing your Amex business gold card directly.

Je connais une banque, Meta prélève ton compte avec puis te charge ton AMEX, comme ça tu peux toujours avoir tes miles. J'en ferais peut être une vidéo

@mexlu100x @offgridcash What are the fees? They “forgot” to mention that anywhere on the website and not even on the FAQ

Lmao I actually got into @offgridcash beta. Made my card in like 30 seconds. Just used it at the grocery store. Went through instantly. Idk what they're doing differently but this is the smoothest crypto → spending experience I've had. No cap.

@MyLatinLife Good luck trying to open an account in Monaco with less than 2m euros. Most banks would politely ask whether you had considered Liechtenstein or Switzerland.

Monaco residency 🇲🇨 can be a good alternative to Dubai. 🇦🇪 - zero taxes, amazing tax system, strong jurisdiction - must SHOW 500,000 euros in the bank, but you don't have to invest - must rent an apartment, which starts at 10,000 euros a month (or buy)
