Different parts of the World and the Country adjusting to Daylight Savings Time. App updates. Discord Chat scuffles. Servers going down. A 96-hour hiatus... BUT @Stellitart and I streaming WILL NOT BE STOPPED! 🫡🤝🙌

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.

Happy Rediscovery Day, Curio Cards On this day in 2021, Curio Cards were rediscovered, after four years in the NFT wilderness first found by a user named dieaping, then picked up by @HarryBTC To their credit, they didn’t quietly buy up everything. instead, they shared the information publicly That moment captured something special about early NFT culture: open discovery, shared knowledge, early excitement, a bit of blockchain archaeology (shout out @adamamcbride for catching us up too) What a wild ride it's been since then and will continue to be for (historical) NFTs

There's still some available physical 1/1 original artworks in this collection...

the global economy is merely memecoiners with suits

We’re allocating $100k from the XCOPY Charitable Fund on @endaomentdotorg to nonprofits defending freedom online. So far:
$10k → EFF
$10k → FIRE
$10k → Tor Project ~$70k left. Suggestions welcome 🙏

This Nashville emergency landing situation is a litmus test for how gullible you are to fear mongering. If you can’t tell that the video of the guy standing up and yelling *ISN’T* a South West flight (let alone decipher isn’t a flight in the US) ai vids are going to wreck you fr.

@BR4ted misunderstood.

NFTs are ____________

The Doomed (black & red) sold for 44.94Ξ gondi.xyz/collections/kn…

@ripe0x A quick refresher: Liquid Editions are ERC-20 tokens that function as living, generative art. For "Value Discovery," the artwork (a US Dollar bill) emerges entirely from the price gap between two pools. Agreement produces nothing. Disagreement produces the image.

@MyCurioCards @rcubed2003 Don’t forget “The Wrapper Wars” that were preceded by OTC Escrow buys directly in Discord. Good times.

Curio Cards are older than OpenSea older than Blur, LooksRare, Magic Eden, Foundation, SuperRare, basically the marketplaces people now link with NFTs They were around before the mainstream cycles, before profile pics became a thing, before “NFT” was even a normal word as a legacy collection, Curio has lived through everything: the early experimental days, the 2018 crash, the long quiet bear when no one was paying attention, the 2021 bull run, the mania, the heavy pullbacks after And we're still here and ready for 2026

@BagCalls One of the most copy traded wallets

Holy absolute shit one of Polymarket's most profitable traders just lost everything - this is the most brutal L I've seen in POLYMARKET HISTORY Anoin123 just got liquidated to a -$6.5M PNL IN ONE DAY with the U.S. striking Iran! A little history - Anoin123 was up $1.6M betting against anything happening in politics until tonight Prediction markets can be very rewarding, but very punishing.

Collecting since May 9, 2017

@danielgothits Love this for them. Imagine gam-gam firing up her DSL internet to hop on “The Zillow” just to be greeted with an insulting offer from you that is *only* 200% up from when they bought in 1990. How dare you set off their blood pressure monitor and spike it to 160/100. Punk kids…

I have openclaw sending lowball offers on Zillow all day just to make boomers start panicking lol

Every once and awhile something happens in the NFT space that makes me squint reaaal hard as my blood pressure elevates. If that Hidden Folder is ever profitable my fake @XCOPYART and @beeple’s aren’t for sale. Just know that. 🫡🤝 Todays’s entry:

huge bounce. now my dip buys are only underwater by 23%
