My book launches on March 23! The definitive guide to brand marketing in the performance era. Reserve your copy now: brandpoweredmedia.com

@gothburz Some of the VR games were cool like Jurassic Park and Star Wars but that's really all the headset was good for and only for short bursts at a time. I called the Metaverse idea dead on arrival when it launched. Sorry for your loss (even though your posts are made up).

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.

@elonmusk I was always curious why this wasn't your first goal. To your point, the moon is so much closer and easier to get to than trying to do something on Mars. It's also a great way to iterate more close to home.

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

@DonnieDarkened @dom_lucre Donnie - you are way off on this my friend. You should read up on @Kabamur_Taygeta

@dom_lucre It’s coming… They’ll say “we have to unite the world to fight against a demonic invasion.”

🔥🚨BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance alluded to Aliens actually being Angels and Demons when asked about his thoughts on UFOs. I said this was going to be the year of revaluations about aliens and the true meaning of life, I meant it. Vance: “I’m a big believer that there are things out there we can’t explain. If another person sees an alien, maybe I see an angel or a demon.” “I’m a big believer that there are like spiritual forces working on the physical world that a lot of us don’t see and a lot of us don’t understand.”

@leadlagreport I thought this was widely known? Lol

@DonnieDarkened That’s actually not what they’re saying at all. See @Kabamur_Taygeta

New Agers, Q followers, Gnostics, and red-pill “truthers” all talk about the same thing in different terms: “A great awakening is coming. The veil will be lifted. The dark controllers will be exposed. The age of light will begin.” What they don’t realize is that this is the Beast’s false apocalypse. It’s Revelation in reverse, a counterfeit unveiling where the world thinks it’s entering the Kingdom of God, when it’s actually entering the final rebellion. The great unveiling = Mystery Babylon gets exposed, the Beast rises as a “savior,” the saints are demonized, and Christ’s return is framed as the last deception to defeat. “They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them.” — Revelation 17:14 Notice it doesn’t say they make war on Satan. They make war on the Lamb. That’s how deluded the world will be. They won’t be Satanists, witches, or globalists. They’ll be self-righteous, “awakened,” moral crusaders who believe they are fighting evil. They’ll call it a holy war. They’ll call Christ the deceiver when He returns and reigns from Jerusalem. And they’ll do it all in the name of “truth.” This is also the setup for Satan’s release and the final deception of the nations. He will rally the world to “oppose the Zionist New World Order,” convincing the Gentiles to rise up and usher in the Age of Aquarius. Everything comes back full circle, because there’s nothing new under the sun.

@MarketPalmer_ I was sold a Whole Life Policy at age 22 and thankfully my uncle said that's the dumbest thing in the world for a single guy so I cancelled it immediately before a single payment was made. That money went into the market and is now worth who knows how much more!

Every time I hear: "I got suckered into a whole life insurance policy" I immediately assume it was from Northwestern Mutual. And I've been right 100% of the time.

@GlobaltrekX @laughnowmonkey @CoreyWilken You would love what the Law of One books say about the pyramids then. Have you read them? AI can provide a nice summary.

@laughnowmonkey @CoreyWilken Thats correct, i remember watching something similar on YouTube saying about Tesla believed that the pyramids were some kind of energy plant. 🤯

Pyramid Structure Discovery: Here's an image created by @CoreyWilken showing just how big these structures are in comparison that have recently been discovered beneath the Pyramid of Giza. Click on image for Full scale. Absolutely Mind blowing 🤯

@clinjar Not at all controversial and makes total complete sense.

He deleted almost every app from his phone. Then he wrote 4 bestsellers in 9 years. Cal Newport's controversial take: Your phone is making you mediocre. His science-backed system for getting your brain back:

@ShadowofEzra This is old news for those of us who have been following Ron Paul forever.

Elon Musk just exposed what he calls a massive Federal Reserve scam—accusing the U.S. government of creating "magic money" out of thin air. According to Musk, the government operates "magic money computers" that generate cash from nothing and distribute it at will. These machines don’t just print money; they fabricate payments and send them worldwide. There are fourteen of them at the Treasury.

@Mommabear859 @Rothmus A lot of LEGO sets are geared towards 18+ and so long as you have other cool hobbies like golf, travel, skiing/surfing, hiking, investing, climbing and building businesses then I’m cool with it.

@Rothmus It's not about them having hobbies, it's about them having hobbies women can respect. Good Hobbies: - Gym - Golf - Travel - Charity - Investing - Friends Bad hobbies: - Cartoons - Kid's toys - Superheroes Women want me , not overgrown kids.

God forbid men have hobbies.

Been saying this forever. Pretty cool to see physics is finally catching up!

@wholemars I'm all for venturing into space but it just seems misaligned with his stated purpose.

@wholemars Mars is the opposite of clean air, just saying. In case of an extinction level event on Earth is it really safer to be stuck on a dead, lifeless planet completely reliant on resources from Earth that takes six months to get to with little chance of making it alive?

Elon Musk’s “controversial” ideas: 1. Multi trillion dollar deficits are bad 2. We should consider trying to end wars instead of funding forever wars 3. People should be allowed to speak freely without censorship 4. We should have clean air and safe roads 5. We should go to mars

@Kabamur_Taygeta I want to see the Kab and @DonnieDarkened debate.

Trump is still alive is because Galactic Federation wants him alive. I've been here since 2017 saying that he's a catalyst for the awakening of humanity in preparation for the Shift Trump will say he was saved by "God" because this is what people can hear. But God isn't a person choosing sides. The fact that Trump is still alive, despite all the evil on this planet wanting him dead, proves the dark forces are outmatched. If Trump were on the 'dark side', why are there no other 'light forces' around to stop him? If his karma is so bad, why does he keep winning? To go against Trump is to go against the angels of light. To go against Galactic Federation is a bad idea.

@MJTruthUltra Having the world’s reserve currency is not purely a blessing. Artificial demand for the dollar keeps it perpetually high compared to every other currency. The reason this sucks for Americans is because we cannot make things in the US that are competitive with other countries.

Oh boy… 👀 Treasury Secretary: “We’re going to put a lot of thought into the stablecoin regime, and as President Trump has directed, we’re going to keep the U.S. dollar the dominant currency in the world, and we will use stablecoins to do that.” What are Stablecoins? — These are cryptocurrencies designed to have a steady value (e.g., $1 per coin), often pegged to the U.S. dollar. In essence, He’s signaling a strategic approach to regulate stablecoins—possibly encouraging their use under U.S. oversight—so they support the dollar rather than compete with it (e.g., preventing a rival like a Chinese digital yuan from taking over). 🔴 Why this is a big deal? The U.S. dollar’s current status gives us huge advantages—cheap loans, sanctioning power, and global influence. Stablecoins moved $10 trillion in 2024. 🤯 With China pushing its own digital currency, Trump is basically fighting it back to make sure the dollar remains king and it will, for decades. All the while, blockchain technology get’s more and more implemented into the financial system. Don’t confuse blockchain with Crypto. If you know what you’re doing and what to invest in… if this goes through, you can make a lot of money. rumble.com/v6qaugu-stable…

Fascinating. @ConConnections

@DonnieDarkened @chrisusclueless Soon as I saw this video on his official Instagram handle I immediately thought wow Donnie was right.

@chrisusclueless Yup. Wild to see we’ve even come this far so soon.

Trump’s hedonistic vision for “Trump Gaza” is all about branding, conquering, and exalting himself. The Antichrist enters the Glorious Land (Daniel 11:41), and what does he do? He divides the land for gain (Daniel 11:39). He doesn’t come in the name of God; he comes in his own name (John 5:43), stamping his identity on the land and turning a war-torn region into a pleasure paradise for the wealthy. Gold statues, Trump-branded beaches, luxury resorts, this is his kingdom, not God’s. But this is much bigger than just Gaza. Trump’s vision is about profit, power, and self-worship, paving the way for what comes next, the Gentile trampling of Jerusalem for 42 months (Revelation 11:2). This is where it’s all leading. The world is being prepared for the man who comes in his own name, who exalts himself, and who seeks to rule over the nations. It won’t stop in Gaza… Jerusalem and the throne of David is the final prize.
