Do bitmappers even want a metaverse, serious question?

We’re excited to announce that the 9iNEGANG app is now live. Explore our mission, discover the story behind 9iNE, manage your collectibles, and step closer to Blix, our shared destination. Enter the wooden horse: 9iNEGANG.app

The metaverse didn’t die because the tech failed. It died because humans were never given a single real reason to stay. Brutal truth… Every legendary tech drop in history came wrapped in meaning first. “This is fire.” “This is the phone.” “This is how the world connects.” When framing hits. Adoption explodes. The metaverse showed up like a street fight instead. Decentraland vs Sandbox vs Meta vs Voxels. Different chains. Different rules. Different bags. Instead of “What is this?” people got slammed with “Which one do I ape?” Confusion killed the vibe before it even started. I was there in 2020. Early music metaverse. Dopamine was crack. Curiosity was electric. We all felt it. Then… 💨 nothing. Because nobody walked in with purpose. They walked in asking “What is this?” Not “What the fuck am I building here?” Big difference. Most early metaverses became tourist traps. Come. Look. Screenshot. Leave. No ownership. No skin in the game. No reason to come back when the next shiny thing dropped. Worse? Land wasn’t bought to birth culture. It was bought to flip crypto. That pulls in degens and speculators, not communities. The loop breaks instantly. No shared ownership. No shared direction. No long-term human gravity. No coexisting 🤷‍♂️ Novelty fades → ghost town. Every single time. This is why one company’s “metaverse” was always doomed. One brand can’t write the operating system for human culture. That’s not how belonging works. Never has. Culture doesn’t come from a corporate slide deck and half cut crypto bro’s. It emerges from hundreds of weird builders, clashing intentions, wild experiments… …on the same unbreakable rails. You probably don’t see it yet, but that’s exactly why Bitmap 🟧 hits different. It doesn’t tell you what the metaverse is. It refuses to define it for you. Bitmap is pure dirt. No permission. No narrative you have to swallow. No ideology test. Just build. One Bitmap. A thousand Bitmaps connected. Or the entire network’s backbone. Everything compounds. Forever. The ingredient every failed metaverse missed:👇 A shared substrate… without a shared mandate 💥 No more tribal wars between platforms. Divergence on top of unity. Different visions. Same ground. That’s the cheat code. This is why I’ve been here for years. Not chasing hype cycles. Not flipping pixels. Watching how humans actually want to gather, create, and belong when the rails are finally theirs. The metaverse was never going to be a place you visit. It’s a network you participate in. That single shift changes everything. If this hits, it’s because I’ve been screaming the deeper version for months: Borrowed systems always collapse at scale. Ownership is the only moat that survives. Full thread here → x.com/block9ine/stat… The question was never “Will the metaverse happen?” The question is: Who the fuck gets to shape it? Corporations tried. They failed. Now it’s our turn. Bitmap doesn’t sell you the dream. It hands you the only thing that ever mattered: The dirt. Build on it or watch someone else own the future.

@Switch_900 @Tomb52O Sounds interesting 🤔

I am not great with the hype but don't let that fool you. What i am building is all the things i hear people say they want! Royalties to creators No sales platform fees In Bapp purchases On chain Decentralised Creator controlled Tooling for everyone to use including wallet connect with mobile functionality built in. To be clear this turns your inscriptions on ordinals in to their own onchain market stools.

@the9inegang What’s this?

Are you a true pixel rebel? “Be the bitmap”

@block9ine Nice map

Gm wrld, All roads lead to bitmap 🟧 … y/n 👇

@elevateddabber Be the bitmap 🟧

be your bitmap

Crypto, as nothing else seams to be going on, I think i will spend some time to build a bitmap project. Where to start?

@TheBlockRunner @natgmi Very speculative but interesting 🤔

Bitcoin produced ~144 blocks yesterday. Total fees? ~2.6 BTC. Cost to secure each block? Far higher. The math doesn’t magically fix itself. Here’s why @natgmi exists 👇 Why Bitcoin Price Crash Makes $NAT Inevitable! Crypto’s Next 1,000x Opportunity! Bitcoin has a problem most people don’t want to talk about: the security budget. We break down why miner revenue is getting squeezed as the block subsidy keeps halving while fees remain tiny, and why pricing Bitcoin in dollars can hide the real story when you compare it to gold. If security is what makes Bitcoin worth trusting, what happens when the economics stop supporting maximum hashpower? That’s where $NAT comes in. We explain @natgmi as a “second subsidy” designed to reinforce miner incentives without changing Bitcoin’s fixed supply, plus why it launched as a free and fair mint with no team or VC allocation. The thesis is simple: revenue equals security, and if the network’s long-term incentives are drifting out of alignment, owning the solution is the cleanest hedge. We also touch on the growing focus around quantum risk, why the same urgency will eventually hit the subsidy problem, and what the likely order of operations looks like as Bitcoin’s biggest voices are forced to respond. If you care about Bitcoin’s future and want to understand one of the most important Bitcoin-native narratives developing right now, this is the clearest breakdown to start with. As Bitcoin’s price trends below many 2026 projections, the $NAT thesis only strengthens. The long-term subsidy problem hasn’t been solved, and no broadly adopted solution has emerged from the Bitcoin Core ecosystem. If price appreciation alone can’t sustain miner incentives over time, supplemental incentive layers become increasingly important. We see $NAT positioning itself as a hedge against the subsidy problem, just as Bitcoin once positioned itself as a hedge against fiat debasement. If the subsidy issue proves structural and unresolved, assets aligned with solving it may be significantly undervalued relative to the scale of the risk.

New Block just got minted. TX count is wild. Fee rate? Top 5%. A dev somewhere just started building a voxel game on top of it. Bitmap isn’t waiting for permission—it’s happening right now. 🎮 #bitmap #Ordinals

@InscribedSpace It’s hard to get a straight answer. Bitmap is everywhere and nowhere from my observation.

@Web3TV_ Enjoyed, punks are something else.

In this episode of the Bitmap series, Jason Cassidy takes us one step further with Blocktributes and focuses on the most popular Bitmap traits. You will learn which traits have gained the most traction, why and how they became popular, and what this means for you as an investor, creator, or collector. 👉 Check out the full episode link in the thread below. @FollowJay #bitmap #bitcoin #blocktributes #digitalassets #blockchain #nft #nftcommunity #jasoncassidy

@MetasoftStudios Interesting 🤔

here's a react-three-fiber VRM character controller setup w/ some other components to try out/use: 🟧 demo: ordinals.com/content/cccc29… 💻 source code: github.com/ordengine/r3f-… the repo can be used as a template, has 2 vite configs (regular website build or inscription HTML file)

How Bitmap could prevent social collapse ... if designed consciously ☕️👇 Imagine this: a perfect world. Endless food. No danger. Total comfort. Digital bliss on tap. Sounds like paradise, right? Wrong. It's a death trap. Back in the late 1960s, scientist John B. Calhoun built Universe 25: a literal mouse utopia. Unlimited resources. No predators. Infinite nesting spots. The mice exploded in numbers... then everything imploded. Mothers ate or abandoned their babies. Males turned violent or completely withdrew. Society fractured into aggression, neglect, and eerie apathy. A special class emerged: the "beautiful ones." Obsessed with grooming, eating, sleeping. Narcissistic, isolated, sexless. They looked flawless... and contributed nothing. The colony died out completely. Not from hunger. From social collapse. From abundance without meaning. From comfort that poisoned purpose. Now look around. Does any of this feel familiar? We live in our own Universe 25. Mega-cities packed tighter than ever. Social media cramming thousands of "connections" into your pocket. Endless scrolls, deliveries, porn, streaming, likes. Material needs? Met. Comfort? Guaranteed. Yet birth rates are crashing in every developed country. Below replacement. Heading toward zero in places like South Korea, Japan, Italy, soon the West broadly. Young people ghost real relationships for screens. "Self-care" becomes obsession. Grooming rituals (skincare, gym selfies, personal branding) replace building families or communities. Aggression spills out in anonymous rage online or real-world breakdowns. Isolation epidemics. Mental health crises. Purpose vacuum. Are you one of the beautiful ones? Polished on the outside, hollow where it counts? Groomed to perfection while your lineage ends with you? Be honest: Is what you call "life" actually living? Or just optimised consumption in a gilded cage? The scary part? The mice never recovered, even when space reopened. The damage was behavioural. Permanent. We're sprinting down the same path: passive scrolling as the new behavioural sink. Pleasure without challenge. Comfort without consequence. A slow extinction disguised as progress. But here's the twist. We're not mice. Humans can see the pattern. We can redesign the environment before it's too late. Enter Bitmap. Not another dopamine shiny distraction. A deliberate counter-measure. A tool engineered to rebuild healthy social density without the toxicity. Safe, moderated spaces where real engagement wins. Gamified cooperation. Meaningful mentorship. Creative collaboration as the default. Rewards for building bonds, sharing skills, propagating culture. Not just endless self-indulgence. This isn't escapism. It's behavioural scaffolding. A place to practice being human again. Form real alliances. Rediscover purpose. Even propagate knowledge and norms digitally when physical reproduction falters. But beware: bad design accelerates the sink. Pure passive consumption? That's digital grooming. The beautiful ones' final stage. Bitmap flips it. Intentional balance. Digital plus physical. Challenge plus comfort. Cooperation over withdrawal. Social roles that matter. Think of it as enrichment for the soul. A buffer against isolation. A way to keep culture alive, skills reproducing, humans resilient. The next decade decides everything. Do we drift into full beautiful-one mode? Comfortable, curated, extinct? Or... do we hack the system? Use technology to reinforce connection, purpose, survival? Bitmap isn't just a platform. It's a conscious choice against collapse. The question isn't "Will society fall?" It's staring you in the mirror: Are you already falling... and calling it winning? Wake the fk up. Question everything you've accepted as "normal." The cage is comfortable. Until it's not. The choice is now. Passive extinction... or intentional thriving. Bitmap can help tip the scales. But only if we act like we actually want to survive. Do you see the pattern, do you agree / disagree? lets start the conversation. Will bitmap prevent social collapse? only if designed consciously 🟧9⃣

@blockamoto blocked me after asking a question.. cool man. I guess it is in the name, I should never have minted a $100 color off a stranger on the internet 🤢

Something feels off with bitmap, does anyone actually take it seriously or it all pump my bag copium?

@limitlesssauce When the money comes back, right! Good plan but next time take more, these suckers need to learn a bigger lesson.

This bear market will pass. Bitcoin ecosystem will flourish again. We go full throttle when it does.

@elevateddabber Is this about @blockamoto recent meltdown for control, or no?

I hope everyone is doing well. I've been giving thought to the current state of Bitmap - what it represents to each of us individually, and what it could mean for humanity collectively. Decentralization is a double-edged sword. On one hand, standing up a decentralized project is extremely difficult. By its very definition, decentralized projects have no central authority figure or owner with a mandate to call the shots. This leads to a lot of redundancies and inefficiencies. Letting 1000 flowers bloom means that most of them die. On the other hand, something centralized can NEVER stand the test of time. To be truly anti-fragile, a project must be rooted in the very soil, so that not even nuclear fission can destroy it. While the rest of ordinals has withered away and died, as I knew it would and said so many times, as it was nothing but the same pump and dumps recycled for a new narrative - bitmap is still alive and well. We know this, because why else would anyone still be arguing about it. Where there's smoke, there's fire, and bitmap is the only real fire burning in ordinals, and probably always was. I'll say this clearly and without qualifiers: Bitmap has no king. No one has a mandate to define what Bitmap must be. What it has instead is a number of dedicated dreamers with ideas about what Bitmap COULD be. From there, it's all about organization and execution. There are some people out there who view Bitmap like a Ready Player One video game - which I think is an incredibly narrow, myopic vision better suited for a centralized pump and dump. There's no need to build some centralized "metaverse" slop around Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a platform built for permanence and decentralization. Not Roblox. But make no mistake, Bitmap is us stumbling on something extremely powerful, and like a caveman discovering a tricorder, have no idea how to use it. Bitcoin is itself a barely understood invention, and there are some among the community (read: Knotzis) who want to dumb it down into being money. But Bitcoin isn't money. It's TRUTH IN A BOTTLE. It's objective reality on tap. It's the one defense from you being plugged into the Matrix and not knowing any better. The point of building on Bitcoin is having an immutable Truth as a foundation. From there, you choose your own adventure. This block is mine. On this block, I make the rules. But in order for that world to be interoperable - connected - to other worlds, there need to be some common frameworks or definitions. Otherwise every Bitmap is an island, which makes it pointless. This brings us back to the central point - building things in a decentralized way, but with sufficient organization to reach the scale and scope to actually add value for people - requires threading a very challenging needle. Creating frameworks for building consensus. One way to do that is by creating applications that gain traction by solving a real problem - not an imaginary pump and dump problem - but an actual business problem that meets a need. Creating value, not simply transferring it. We long ago discussed the concept of an "ecosystem of value". I think it's time to revisit this idea. An ecosystem of value requires several applications that have functional self-sufficient economics, using Bitmaps as a common substrate. I write this now, because I'm observing the small handful of dedicated builders and dreamers that are still left - which by the way are the heart and soul of why Bitmap is inherently valuable while the rest of ordinals has died and lay rotting in a shallow grave - but I see these intrepid dreamers continuing to argue about what this project is, what it means, what it's for. There is still little to no coordination, because the central coordination problem that haunts all decentralized projects has never been solved in an effective way. I also see some attempts underway to "solve" that by creating structure - but these structures are inherently themselves burdened by personalities and appeals to authority, instead of a focus on principles. Long ago, I wrote an article that attempted to lay out that problem and proposed some tenets for how it could be addressed. I think that now, at this time when markets have written off ordinals as dead and buried, is the time to revisit these ideas. I am sharing the article here, and invite/welcome comment on any thoughts that reading it inspires - about who we are, where we're going, and most importantly, how we get there.
