@gothburz 😂😂

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.

@yourliestophere @BigCheds thank you

@ColinTCrypto @BigCheds I love your analysis. Sometimes I do not or I do agree but I appreciate the hard work. Keep it up!!

$BTC not the kind of follow through I expected to see on last week's Marubozu

@PapiTrumpo my god that was good

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!😎🇺🇸🤣🤣🤣

@onehandpolitics oh shit lol

This country isn’t real man 😭

@x_insider4 It does seem likely, eventually

@ColinTCrypto we all know the real move. 45k$ is inevitable in this cycle

$BTC - Weekly candles Interestingly, BTC price is (thus far) still respecting the upper trend line (dotted) of the pennant, prior to its morph into a flag (yellow lines). Maybe it's just a re-test, but performance so far is not exciting and this underwhelming performance signals caution. Still need to clear that $76k region to be convincing of a bullish move. Until then we are just ranging and likeliest to break down (as a bear flag would indicate). Bulls want to see that $76k level flipped.

@GMartin_0 I could see it

@ColinTCrypto My friend Marty Mcfly draw this Bitcoin inverted chart for me and he says we will get one more push toward 80k, bulls will get excited, people who didn't buy 60k will FOMO, only to get horribly rejected 😅 x.com/GMartin_0/stat…

@MikeBenzCyber 😂

I don’t even understand how this situation is possible to get into

This Afroman trial is bar none the best content on the Internet right now

@EricLDaugh Well said, @nickshirleyy! Gavin must be pissed at you. lol

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Nick Shirley DECIMATES Gavin Newsom 🔥 “The governor of California is an ENEMY to the people of California. He’s literally working to support the fraudsters!” “He COULD be working to expose the fraud.” “How STUPID do you have to be to say ‘let’s go after the guy exposing the fraud, let’s not go after the fraudsters?’” “That is what he’s doing. Why don’t you say ‘Hey Nick, great video - how can we help?’” “These tax dollars don’t say right or left on them, Republican or Democrat. Each tax dollar is a dollar for the American people.” “And when they go and steal these dollars from us, they are not robbing liberals or Democrats, they are robbing everyone.” “Then the governor gets mad at the person exposing the fraud? How crazy do you have to be to think that logic?!” @nickshirleyy Mic drop. H/t @TVNewsNow

@BigCheds Capo ruining it for all 🤣

Chat what do we think

@MishaWilsonOff @BensonTentRent I will say that he made good profit selling at the top and even buying where the price is now is actually a pretty decent trade.

Yea could be very true. I’m not gettting back in yet - more waiting for more downside or additional signals… so my actions are actually more on your side… and on the side of someone like Ben Cowen. He’s just had a good read. The strange part is he doesn’t think we’ve been bear for 2 months - he thinks we’ve been it for a year already - and I guess expanded flats can create new all time highs in bear markets. Trust me, I would think it’s fully insane - if I hadn’t have watched him the last year. I lost a TON of money following someone who thought this cycle was going to be the same same… And I did the math - and I would have made like 8 fucken million if I would have followed along w this guy instead. Such is life. I personally think the truth ends up being somewhere in the middle. But he had def been wrong though - and is open and says when he is - so again - the market and time will tell.

To put it in perspective: The Feb 5th low ($60k) would be only 4 months into the bear market, which would be *extremely* premature for a cycle bottom. Top-to-bottom they typically last 12 months. Maybe we can get a briefer bear market this time, but 8 months shorter? Doubtful imo. Good to keep a zoomed-out perspective. $BTC

@RepLuna @LeaderJohnThune It will fail because our government is too fraudulent.

The Senate is taking up the SAVE America Act this week but that does not mean they are serious about actually getting it signed into law. @LeaderJohnThune knows he does not have the 60 votes needed to pass it and also won’t invoke the standing filibuster, so he is doing this for messaging. The Senate plans to leave debate open for as long as Senators continue to debate (probably a couple of days). They are doing this to try and get around having to invoke the standing filibuster but I won’t let them fool you. These two things are not the same! If the standing filibuster is not invoked the SAVE America Act will fail.

@TechCharts Agreed. This chart looks horrible to be honest. Definitely looks like lower levels are coming. That rejection from 62.4 is the death blow

Each rebound is weaker then the previous one, met by sellers at a lower level, forms the bearish descending triangle. $MAGS

@GavinNewsom You clearly didn't watch the video that @nickshirleyy just dropped about your very own state. Your state is in poverty because you allow this fraud. California, The Golden Fraud State x.com/nickshirleyy/s…

Corporations are pocketing tax subsidies while their workers get their food stamps cut. The minimum wage is still $7.25. And the greatest wealth transfer in world history is coming. Trump didn't just ignore this. He built it.

@elonmusk I leared a lot watching this

Wow

@nickshirleyy I leared a lot from this

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP. We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

Thanks for remembering to share it. Watching the video now. I find it odd how he assumes we are basically at the bottom of the bear market. Everything he shares is that we are basically at the bottom. I don't agree where he says "we've basically done the full bear market in 2 months". He's 50% back in the market and I think the market is going to burn him and put him into losses as it heads to a lower range for the actual bottom, within the next 3-8 months. TL;DR: He's a premature bottom caller. Could I be wrong? Yep. But that's what I think.

Hey bro - forgot to send. Check this out if you want: youtu.be/lnoC3F-zjqI He doesn't go over everything, as thats more of the ongoing dialogue, but you'll see where his head is at. Also, he isn't in a "the bottom is 100% in headspace, just more of "the worst is over at this point". Again, nobody knows - he's just nailed the last couple of tops and bottoms. Also, MMCrypto is in the same train of thought I believe (bear has been going for a year already, and its closer to flipping bull).

@elonmusk The multi-agent approach is great. It seems like it gives more thorough and better answers.

What are your initial impressions of Grok 4.20? Major upgrades are still landing every week.

@yacineMTB Removing the downvote button hides opposing sentiment. One of the most manipulative things YouTube did was to get rid of the dislike button just because everyone was downvoting Biden's videos during his presidency.

If they actually do this, it is going to turn the website into reddit. They should never, ever, ever, ever do the dislike button.
