Makes sense there's specific guides for VR, since it's a new novel form of computing input. There's no novel form a of input for bitcoin. I can't think of anything that's not already covered by design guides for software.

Inflation is only good if you already own assets... If employers can't afford to keep up with inflation you're gonna have a workforce that can't afford to invest so only those who are 40+ and already have their bonds, ISA's pension funds etc... filled will benefit. WEALTH INEQUALITY is the largest problem facing us, not gender, not racism, not lefties or conservatives... We should all be refusing to vote, refusing to pay tax and revolting in the streets about this unless you want to end up living a scifi dystopian reality inside that dumb meta-fucks AI controlled VR (looking at you zuckerburgerface).

Someone's going to break the VR/AR world wide open. More than likely it'll be one of the big dogs, but it's not unreasonable to think a smaller company comes in and does it. I think it's worth a flier.

"Let's not kid ourselves about why people buy it" Everyone buys it for whatever reason they want. That's the beauty of it. Up to you decide what it's worth. I buy it because I think BTC will be extremely valuable for the digital revolution in the future; VR, AI, Robots... I honestly believe BTC will be the reserve currency for that world similar to gold for the human world and I want to own a piece of that.

DigitylRise

Ok... but think about the internet. Clearly you see how important it is right? Now look back at the people saying it was a fad... you go uhhhh duh, of course internet is very important. Today there is a group of people who continue to see the bigger picture of BTC and they are getting rich while everyone else just doesn't understand it's importance. In 50 years it will be clear, and then it will be like uhhh duh, BTC clearly is meant for a store of value for the digital world that has become fully integrated in our life. If you imagine a world where VR, AI, robots are an integral part of human life, you'll see the demand for BTC and crypto. Now tell yourself, will VR, AI, robots only get better?

Got around 2011 mining on my work laptop. Found it funny, but useless for the couple of euros mined after months. Stopped it. Beginning of 2013 I fooled around with VR and found a VR porn site that allowed bitcoins. I transferred around 8 bitcoins for a membership, almost all that I had. Not long after that I remember the price tripled and kept going up.

JustSYN21

well the best thing is to be balanced and diversified, so having all your life saving in BTC might not be the one haha… but having some money in BTC, some in stocks, maybe some in bullion like Gold or Silver is a good way to go that allows you not to worry as if one goes down you have the other investments/assets. And Fiat is going to stick around most likely for a little while. people need to fully adopt Btc or other crypto with tech, gaming and other ventures like meta and VR before they are mainstream and make fiat obsolete. Most people you ask still trust fiat over most other things…

tldr; Interest in the Metaverse, particularly in connection with 3D games, is on the rise again. Companies like Spatial.io, MeetKai, Vulcan Forged, and Supersocial are developing games and virtual experiences that define the Metaverse as connected 3D virtual worlds, with Roblox highlighted as a prime example. These companies are focusing on the gaming aspect, integrating blockchain technology, NFTs, and digital currencies to enhance player engagement and ownership. The success of these ventures indicates a growing interest and investment in the Metaverse, contrary to claims of its demise, showcasing its potential beyond just VR and cryptocurrency. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

AR and VR crypto projects are a fools errand. VR is barely accessible now, and nobody really cares. Trying to add crypto into the mix is a recipe for failure. AR is mostly a novelty, I can think of three applications. AR to track constellations, AR to measure rooms or w/e and pokemon go. What else is there? No offense but this sounds like an absolute dogshit place to put your money. Think about it like this. If companies like Facebook and Apple can't launch successful AR and VR projects, what makes you think these guys can?

It's because you are looking for it like any other asset that people buy just to get rich, but the fundamentals are divided into many fronts; Cryptography (halving supply shocks, mining, rigid code resistance), macroeconomics (pensions, yields on treasuries, AI and probable increasing deficits even with the economy at full employment), new tech with easier than ever access to large wallets, wealth transfer due to demographics (from boomers and gen X, the means of production gets in fewer hands affecting the money transfer and increasing the velocity of money. Why? Because you have to get a job to survive the "Rat race", or you can just refuse the system trying to save your quality of life and live on the internet spending a few bucs the whole month on Gamepass and Netflix, with the head on VR Porn generating even fewer kids, especially when the cost to raise on and educate is on the ceiling. Not the most beautifull future I see for everybody, but this is the one I think is most likely to occur. All those factors combined are a timebomb on the budget of the countries, they will change and start austerity measures? I doubt it.

Yeah man, you are literally not bright. If you think knowing what the latest, iPhone, camera, VR, gaming device, etc. is knowing about tech then you are a lost cause. When I say know about tech I mean actually knowing tech as in someone who’s career revolves around it. Not someone who just YouTubes what new gadgets are out there. But sure man, believe that SOL is the greatest tech out there and believe that an amateur photographer knows more about tech than the average person, which is not even close to what I was referring to when I said “know tech”. But to double down, a photographer is not someone anyone should ever take advice from when it comes to something technical related, for example the technology of a blockchain and how it sets it apart from others and what it’s future might look like. But go off and act like you know what you are talking about after watching bias SOL YouTube vids 😂

The cost will be 0 BTC. Universities will eventually collapse from their own inflated cost of maintaining the campus, paying their world renowned faculty tenure wages, room and board, etc. They are credential mills living on borrowed time until AI completely replaces professors with any teacher you might want for your education in your own living room with a VR headset.

> If these were separate L1's and they got popular enough for it to matter, they would still easily attain sufficient security through a large number of miners or validators. Rollups have a couple of big advantages here. Firstly and most obviously, alternative L1s have to pay for their own security, which they do through issuance to validators (or miners) - https://moneyprinter.info/ - inflating away the value accrual of their asset. The amount being paid out is the security budget, and it is in effect the protocol paying for people to stake and therefore secure the network from attackers. For a rollup, you don't need to bootstrap your own set of validators for security, you can get that from Ethereum and all you have to pay in return is a portion of the gas fees collected by users. There is no way that an Alt-L1 can compete with this proposition in term of value for money security. Secondly, by splitting up the Ethereum ecosystem into different layers, each part only requires low powered hardware to run. You can run an Ethereum node (or validator) on a cheap (~$400) computer with a regular internet connection. You can also run nodes for the major L2s with the same type of requirements - https://ethereum-on-arm-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/running-l2-clients.html. Contrast this with an alternative chain that is trying to do everything on L1, such as Solana. Solana requires a machine with 256GB of RAM (4x more than the PC I use for VR gaming) and a 1 GB/s up & down internet connection - which is basically unavailable however much you are willing to spend almost anywhere on Earth. Not being able to run a node means that you cannot interact with the chain directly, whether to post transactions or even to check your balance. If you just have to trust a random 3rd party and can't verify anything yourself then you've given up the one advantage crypto has over the traditional financial system - you may as well just stick to banks and Paypal.

It's a database where you can own "parts" of it. Bitcoin is genius. Imagine better VR tech. You are meeting with people virtually, let's assume you do still have a body. So by lying in better vis VR gadgets. You have to do business. How will you pay them? With Bitcoin. Than you leave the gadgets and go to you local starbucks. You also pay with BTC. Or you do want to buy sth. , a house. Now that whole process is difficult. In the future the necessary informations could be implemented into a x layer that is rooted in the basic BTC protocol. You than could buy houses everywhere. The process would be international and 100% safe. Bitcoin is the future. Imagine you are buying in 2200 a flat on mars? Would you buy with American dollars? That doesn't make sense. Bitcoin will be the way. (The problem of communication/light speed delay will be solved in one or other way)

There is no AI. They invent these imaginary "chases" so people give them money. The only difference is they invent them much more frequently than ever before. AI, Solar, EVs, Used Cars, Crypto (multiple pumps), 3D printers, VR, tech stocks, Mag7, Mag3, Mag1, Real Estate. All designed to take your money. There is no gains for humanity. Only big losses and waist of energy.

There are thousands of apps to do things across Blockchains. It really depends on what you wanna do. Farming LPs, Hunting meme coins, NFT stuff including art, games, books, music, comics, VR etc. You can dabble in fractionalized relestate. If you have a specific job that you do in RL you can probably find a community with an app and token that could add another layer to your work to make extra profit or advertize.

Lol too funny. Theres like 1000 new memecoins every day everyone can make their own with coinbuilders with 2 clicks. Not even coding needed. How many of these 1000 memecoins a day have any success at all? Why not use your brain instead and find the next Chainlink, the next Eth, the next huge AR/AI/VR/whatever project? Thats the real fun in crypto and you get "lucky" way more often than just 1 in 10000 times...

Extreme-You6235

We agree completely on gaming but you’re failing to see the big picture as it relates to AI and other sectors of crypto. It doesn’t matter that the AI sector has no real utility. Nothing except for DeFi and bitcoin has any actual and usable utility for today’s world/landscape. And even defi is hard to adopt to the mass with how stupid most people are so thus we have bitcoin, the gold store of value of crypto. The catalyst for the pumping for AI coins is the same catalyst for all the other coins and sectors, *speculation* AI is a hot buzzword just like gaming/VR last cycle which produced nothing but shitty mobile games, empty promises, and more speculation. The pump you’re referring to is nothing. It’s a signal that certain tokens and coins aren’t completely dead unlike others. The true pump will run its course in due time as it has in previous cycles when retail has reached its pinnacle and people are trying to strike gold with any promising altcoin they can find.

Apple is missing from the AI space which is weird. They may be experiencing a Kodak moment and be gone within the next 20? years. Unless of course they win in the VR space.

PlayerPlayer69

I don’t see a single reputable claim in your entire post. Just personal anecdotes about what you perceive around you. Ok, the people you surround yourself don’t have a lot of Apple products.. that doesn’t mean you’re right. Apple’s brand marketing and their market capitalization is what makes them a strong company. Whenever AMD, Android, Sony, Google, or any competitor really, comes out with a new product, Apple isn’t far behind with their own model. And people will pay an arm and a leg for Apple’s model over their competitors, regardless of who has the “better performing,” or “original,” product. Apple Pens, Apple AirPods Max, Apple Vision, instantly come to mind. The phone pen stylus is not new. Headphones are not new. Oculus rift VR systems are not new. But because it’s Apple, they’ll release their own version years after the original concept, and they’ll make billions. They make old tech products feel new and innovative, when in reality, it’s really not. Are Apple products overpriced? Yes and no. Apple wouldn’t be in business if the majority of their customers believed that their products are overpriced. When you go to the grocery store, and you see something you want, but it’s incredibly overpriced, you don’t buy it because you don’t think it’s worth that price. You’ll only buy it if it’s at a fair value, right? Well phones are the same. You walk into Apple, you see phone you want, you see price. If it’s too high, you don’t buy. If it’s considered “worth it,” then you’ll buy. The fact that there are billions and billions of dollars that circulate into Apple’s coffers, should tell you that *most* of Apple’s customer base consider their products “worth it.” If a single IPhone was worth $5,000, the common consumer will definitely not buy, leaving a low demand and a high supply, prompting a price reduction. The fact that IPhones are priced at $1000 and they go like hotcakes even months after release date, means that the common consumer for Apple does not consider them overpriced.

lbuprofenAddict

The only reason why Apple has brand loyalty is because of Steve Jobs vision and what he started, not because of current productions/inovations. Although holodeck is the start of something huge (just wait until VR/AR can be fit in contact lenses, it’ll be the new phone)

Also please note, today we start an open source consensus on fair Monero price based on Metcalfe’s law as definition of fair Monero price at some $1500. TIME TO ACT FOR FAIR MONERO PRICE $1500 BY Metcalfe’s LAW Today, February 20, the most malicious and huge centralised actor on Monero market, Binance has departed away. Together we, the independent honest participants, CAN set the consensus on FAIR Monero price based by Metcalfe’s law first time in the Monero history. Here is the Metcalfe’s law on fair Monero price itself: https://moneroj.net/metcalfeusd/ We should use it not as a law to verify, but as a precise definition of FAIR Monero price to act for right now. Miners, NEVER sell your mined Monero under Metcalfe’s law or roughly $1500 nowadays! Exchanges, set difficult high fees for Monero sell/buy prices too below the Metcalfe’s law! Encourage people to trade at fair Metcalfe’s law or above by reducing your fees! In absolute USD units you will still get up to 10x to your current profit! Merchants, split your business to two separate businesses, first one to accept VISA, Mastercard, PayPal, bank transfers AND the GIFT CARDS. Second one to accept all the crypto, Monero and selling the GIFT CARDS to use in your first business! Kraken, we consider you as our ally, since you always respect privacy in your public statements on your social media. Please encourage people to trade Monero at Metcalfe’s law levels! Create your own approach to that. Customers, leave KuKoin!!! It is suspected to be as malicious as Binance though have lesser “paper” Monero. But KYC outrage is terrifying. Stay far from ANY large centralised exchange with KYC! All of us, share this post in your social media, tell your friends, reach the celebrities! REACH THE CELEBRITIES. Once Metcalfe’s fair price at some $1500 will be established, we will need just few months to maintain it. Then, Monero price will fly free again! Our efforts are temporary but they are petty needed to find brand new price equilibrium! And of course, the mantra: regardless Monero price, its total coin supply (by mining) will be less than Bitcoin supply till year 2040. Yet another fact to learn and broadcast to all the people: https://np.reddit.com/r/Monero/s/M4nfX0VR8r Also read the historically original post: https://np.reddit.com/r/Monero/s/RohAV5uzog

As we enter an era where AR/VR become the new normal, the concept of blockchain gaming and metaverse, along with NFTs as digital collectibles will always be appealing. Putting aside the eternal question of centralized vs decentralized, the mainstream adoption is staggered only by ease of use - and solutions are already in the works. We are hearing about [account abstraction as a future](https://oasisprotocol.org/blog/passkeys-account-abstraction-key-management-web3) where passkey (centralized) can have evolved use in a decentralized setting. And when the web3 becomes a way of life, we will need web3 games and the evolution of this space is a matter of when, not if. For more on web3 games, [Polychain Monsters](https://oasisprotocol.org/blog/january-2024-grant-confidential-gaming) are something to look out for, while for digital collectibles marketplace, [PixelRealm](https://oasisprotocol.org/blog/oasis-grant-nftb-privacy-push) (formerly NFTb) is cool.

VR space, advertising, the works...gotta say, it's ambitious. BUT is this team REALLY gonna pull off what sounds like a virtual metaverse?

somethingimadeup

One thing a lot of people aren’t including here is that this can be the real key to a metaverse where items can be transferred between different game universes or Vr realities. Persistent characters between games, items between games, etc. And while this would TECHNICALLY be possible in a centralized system, you would need to make a deal or partnership with eachother to make it happen. This could allow everyone to just accept the other items. For example, if you grinded on a game to get a bunch of legendary items, these could be transferable to other games as a different legendary item. In game currencies could be exchanged for other in game currencies, and there would be actual demand/supply exchange rates between games. You could limit the number of players in a server or in a universe, requiring an nft to enter it, and then you would own that spot in the universe and could potentially sell it later on or trade it for spots in another universe. It’s really the key to enable interactivity between games or VR universes.

Inflation in order to promote economic activity promotes useless economic activity instead of meaningful economic activity. As a result, we have people who push throwaway culture. Why fix or repair something, when you are just going to buy the next version next year because its pointless to save money. At the same time, actual investments to be proud of like roads, bridges, architecture, and of course high quality, high density housing is not being built. Keynsian economics is focused on short term gratification, and much like an addictive drug like heroin or meth, it breeds dependency. Every cycle, the government needs to spend more money and go more into debt. The result is a trash economy. We have landfills full of old iphones and apparel that is designed for a life of 6 months to 1 year. We have a housing shortage. And the latest craze is homeless people in VR. The fiat system can be summed up in one picture: [https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/zlxeqh/san\_francisco\_homeless\_uses\_vr\_headset/](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/zlxeqh/san_francisco_homeless_uses_vr_headset/) It is addiction. It is drugs. It is moral decay. It is predatory lending, backroom deals, corruption, and bribery. And it all comes from the simple fact that the monetary system favors those who spend now, and those who borrow rather than those who save.

UK laws currently do not specifically cover VR interactions, creating a regulatory gap. Experts argue that virtual harassment can have serious emotional and psychological impacts on victims, and the sensory nature of VR can intensify the trauma. The issue reflects a broader societal problem of rape culture, which normalizes sexual harassment and victim-blaming.

Wow, you could not be more wrong!!!! I wont touch on the internet.... but you clearly were also not there when the transition from keyboard to touch screen = doom and gloom; getting a smatphone was some form of a luxury item that only business people and entrepreneurs needed... And if my memory serves me correct, VR/Segways/Smartcars (and whatever else you want to say...) were all hated. Hell, anything new is. Thats the point. You need to learn to think for yourself - **"is this intrinsically different than what we had before???" ** We never had the internet. We never had a phone in our pocket. Then we combined them. Google glass was stupid. Could never and will never work, even still with new companies trying. To much distraction. Segways were cool. But we had scooters and mopeds already that are way safer. Try harder. This is so different. Its taking power from big corporations and giving it to artists and players. Unfortunately, all of you are taking in the corporations propaganda instead of doing an ounce of dilligenxe into the tech and its potential. Come at me with anecdotal arguments, and we can have a discussion. Gtfoh with failed accessory innovations.

Even Meta pivoted away from talking about it to save its share price. From a conceptua view, "Metaverse" ownership via NFTs is just a meme. Such "ownership" can't really transcend dev team's choices/decisions etc, as ppl are implicitly lead to believe. So when I say it is non-innovative, I mean it is mainly those rehashing 2001 veery beaten up "stay-at-home" narratives and trying to search liquidity for it. My hunch is, crypto will see its appeal breakthrough via connecting to more real/physical goods/services. They are more concrete/real netting a wide audience than just those who loves everything digital.

The fact the space is still stuck with this horseshit means crypto is seriously lacking in innovation for consumer products. This is more of an area of VR/computational tech than for cryptographic nerds.

I agree to your feelings on the term "metaverse", and think that having a more immersive competitive existence would be pretty cool if done well. I also agree on AR and VR, but I think also that those two terms might not embody what actually comes to be (if that makes sense). Meaning, AR and VR as we imagine it now, won't necessarily what we ultimately end up with.

I get your concern about 'serial entrepreneurs'. Today, it seems everyone calls themselves an entrepreneur. This is a discussion topic itself :). Let me share my story. I started my first venture while I was still in college. Now, I've been a businessman for more than half of my life. Many of my projects are still running. In some, I'm an investor or advisor now. Atlas Space, for example, evolved from one of these, my company Garage Atlas. We accomplished around 70 projects there. Out of these, about 10 were just ideas at the beginning. I learned that focus and timing are crucial for startups born from ideas. So, around 2015, we decided to cut 6 out of these 10 ideas and focused on market research. From the remaining four, two are still active: Atlas Space and Medibooth. Garage Atlas still works on VR/AR and design & tech projects. I also have an architecture and design company. My journey as a serial entrepreneur is not about following trends or blindly jump into ideas. It's about my and my partner's talents and interests. I always need to create and do things; I can't just sit still to watch the world evolve. I need to participate the evolution.

I would add, something like a virtual world akin to VR chat, with competitive elements like “ready player one” - A real metaverse as much I dislike the word. That way, a super wide audience can be reached, from casual chatting and memeing to competitive games. Smartphone tech has stagnated and slowly but surely its AR and VR that’s going to be the next big thing. Too bad I havent the brains nor the resources to tey and pull something like that off.

all the great innovations of mankind, such as aircraft and flight wink wink, were done on the gold standard, a standard based on scarcity. we dont fetishize scarcity. fiat capitalism engenders it and needs it by marketing and creating the illusion of more scarcity. the current financial system is predicated on the illusion of abundance when in reality, all governments are insolvent. if all debt is repaid, we dont have currency anymore. we live in extreme financial scarcity, masqueraded by debt consumption. just because we happen to have some material abundance of consumer goods, we severly lack say, ways to heal in a healthy way vs the opiod epidemic of the united states. most people are in debt to their balls. scarcity of time. disprove to me time, the most precious of commodities is scarce, and your star trek future is reality. but you cant, because you know or you better hope to know logically and emotionally, you will die and most of your dreams and goals will remain unfulfilled. this scarcity gives everything value. if I had infinite time and resources, ie no scarcity, I would give zero fucks and have zero urgency to do anything, I would be a bored hedonistic god. sadly, I am a human that is aware his time his limited, must make tradeoffs of time and energy (yes, your energy is scarce, try running a 1000 miles and see how long you last) again, you cite an academic book, I love Adam Smith but that is still a book. that needs to be grounded in real life experience, that you are focusing on one point, and also missing the point of it. He would laugh at you trying to arguye we dont have scarcity. especially during his time of often extreme scarcity. Just because a Classical Economist makes an argument, and they are considered a great economist (their docttrine since largely disproven, relying on so called natural phenomena of economics as if economics was like gravity) its simply appeal to authority, aka fiat, which Bitcoin is completely against. otherwise we might as well let banks tell us what is money and what isnt, while we happily cuck cuck cuck for netflix and consumer goods, ignorant of the scarcity of our lives due to the pseudo infinite credit society we live in go ahead and live as if scarcity isnt a thing. sure, I move towards abundance, but thats because my existence is naturally scarce. otherwise there would be no point moving towards what already is the natural state. abundance is more a mental thing, believing we can overcome our scarcity but only towards less scarcity, and peace of mind, accepting the world without trying to compulsively create some bullshit AI, VR dystopia that is only fuelled by our need for our minds to control everything, like some compulsive Karen

> other chains have a lot more room to grow without the technical headache of actually scaling properly. I think this obviously comes down to the definition of 'properly'. In my opinion two of the most fundamentally important aspects of cryptocurrencies are: * Permissionlessness - any users can interact directly with whoever and whatever they like, and; * Trustlessness - users do not need to rely on the entities they interact with to be honest. The only way to achieve this is for users to be able to run nodes if they wish. Full nodes give you the ability to connect to the network yourself, check balances without relying on 3rd party explorers, post transactions without relying on 3rd party RPC providers etc. For most of the chains that claim to have solved scaling, they do this by making transactions faster in one way or another. This means the clients that run the network have higher hardware and connection requirements, which makes running a full node unrealistic for regular users. As an example, to run a node that would let you check your balance or post a transaction on Solana requires at minimum a 1GB/s internet connection and 256 GB of RAM. For comparison, the PC I use for playing DCS in VR has 64 GB. On the other hand, I'm running an Ethereum node and an Optimism L2 node on $200 Rock 5b single board computers (~ $450 when you factor in SSDs, cases, fans, power supplies etc). So yea, some chains have scaled to offer much cheaper transactions, but the tradeoff that their marketing never mentions is that no normal users will ever be able to actually post a transaction themseves or verify any balanced... which in my opinion means you may as well just use the traditional banking system!

muchDOGEbigwow

Snowball effect is exponential. 6000 today is 12000 next month is 24000 next month... etc. VR is an excellent example of this. VR technology was created over 30 years ago but the number of users was super small until the last 3 years. Now VR is at 15-20M users. Bitcoin being only 15 years old before mass payment adoption begins is about right.

MinimalGravitas

Sure, you I guess you can theoretically run a Solana node... if you have a machine with 256 GB of RAM (4x more than my VR rig), but that isn't really an accesable option for pretty much any normal users. For Hedera they suggest running 'mirror nodes' on a hosting service where the *monthly* running cost is more than the total hardware costs of a node for something like Cosmos, Cardano, Ethereum, Bitcoin, or L2s like Arbitrum or Optimism. > Based on these specifications, the total estimated monthly cost to run a Hedera Mirror Node is USD 514.64. If it costs over $500 per month, then I'd argue that's functionally equivalent to not being possible for the vast majority of people.

mattyhtown

It could be about VR? It could be about blah blah whatever. It’s a risky but traditional asset in so many ways now. If AI pumps crypto will pump too. If AI doesn’t pump crypto may still pump. It’s more about people realizing what rate cuts means at this point. We were so ready to hear the magic words. But we forgot that the pain could be in front of us still. Hence the rate cuts that are expected

codepleb4

for the first time, having survived a long list of buzzwords, i disagree with this comment. AI surely is overblown and 99.9% of usecases and startups will turn their lights off eventually, but saying that AI (huge topic) is just another buzzword is ignorance at its best. AI will have relevance 100 years in the future. maybe in an evolved status. but you can't put that on the same page with VR (will survive but for niches), blockchain (will become completely irrelevant apart from bitcoin), google glass and so on. bitcoin, the internet and AI (in the form of an unfinished sculpture yet) will remain relevant. and to correct myself: yes, it is a buzzword at the moment, but it's nothing that will go away. the internet was a buzzword too once.

furbess

Because none of them provide lasting utility, they're cash grabs with no real application. They're basically just excuses to combine the concept of crypto and VR/AR/whatever.

furbess

There's no future in any present VR related tokens.

MinimalGravitas

> Crazy how you say “Very few people run validators” I didn't say that, so I'm not sure why you have put it in quotation marks... I said that people don't run nodes. A node allows you to connect to the network, post transactions and check the state yourself (i.e. balances of accounts, numbers of tokens etc), without one you must rely on 3rd party RPCs to post transactions and 3rd party block explorers to query the state... > I’ll gladly send you the txs so you can see for yourself This is my point, without a node you can't see for yourself. To run a node requires a computer with 256 GB of RAM amongst other things - even my VR gaming rig only has 64 GB!

capzi

Nope. Got rugpulled last year during the metaverse hype. It wasn't because of the metaverse technology though. It was because the dev team of a VR project rebelled against one of the co-owners of the project and they shut down the crypto asset without warning. Their community vehemently against anything to do with blockchain and crypto technology. They were all furries too so I advise anyone to stay away from furry communities because they are mostly against cryptos and nfts.

AI is going to completely revolutionise pornography. I won't link them directly in case it is against the rules, but there are AI porn Subreddits containing images that are barely distinguishable from photographs. It is both impressive and shocking. I'm not sure how you would invest in it, but if you can imagine another 5-10 years of advancements in both AI and AR/VR technology, adult entertainment is going to be a whole new world.

Wow I forgot about VR. I wanted to love it, but I gave up because there aren't really any great software/games for VR. Maybe if you like social stuff, but I don't. Last good game I remember was Boneworks.

Anyone into VR and want to make a crypto vr chat hangout space to talk abt finance and trade plays?

Morning_Star_Ritual

Every project you held went to 0? Anyway, I guess I can try to breakdown my mental model. Bitcoin Everything else. I see btc as the gold of our future digital culture. It may seem odd now, but gen alpha will be the largest cohort to date and any parent of a Roblox kids understands this: they value digital goods and experiences the same if not more then physical ones. The phase change from gold to bitcoin might take decades but I believe it will happen. I hold btc (and rotate gains) as a way to preserve future buying power. To illustrate: don’t listen to the hype if/when we break 2021’s ATH. We need to break 76k, adjusted for inflation. I see blockchain as a tech play. The thesis: if I have conviction of this future digital/virtual shift then any tech that can provide ownership and “scarcity” will be valuable. People will still own luxury goods—maybe there’s tech that can prove ownership and provenance. Compute for VR or AI training runs…maybe there’s a project. File storage, gaming assets…..”betting” on an artist, supporting them via fractional shares and one day enjoying a royalty stream? Embodied AR/VR companion AI cat girlfriends (waifuGPT) sold as bespoke autonomous agents as an NFT? Maybe there’s a project. We don’t know what blockchain tech will be adopted in this future world. We don’t even know if this is what “web3” looks like…..so, we own the governance token or a blockchain project and try to bet on what we think might work. As Vitalik once said, it’s like having a firm like Uber find product market fit….without needing Uber. Btc is the vault, blockchain projects are speculative plays in order to own more bitcoin (or cash out 45k for my waifuGPT to have her own node in the VR part of Waifu World, but you do you).

Narratives will change over the next 2 years. World’s biggest company is launching a VR headset in 2024 with extensive AR features.

reliable35

XPortal wallet is superb, there is no other project with such a great interconnected App that links all the projects built on the platform. Being Metaverse aligned as well, is a great bonus for the next 2 years with all the AR & VR devices coming on-line. Don’t forget the buzz that will be created once the Apple Vision Pro launches. MultiverseX will fly once the bull market gets going. In Europe MultiversX also bought a bank! Visa & debit cards coming soon. I remain very bullish on EGLD. It’s a solid project, great technicals & a lot built.. some of these newer L1s look great at first glance but have nothing built unlike MultiversX that has a whole eco-system built ready for mass adoption… which is the only aspect it’s currently struggling with but it will come..

Sanjam-Kapoor

sandbox metaverse do have around 3.9k MAU as I checked for November 2023, being of them, its pretty lonely. Most just playing for the sake of rewards, nothing special or fun whatsover. Maybe something like VRs can be a breaking sector for such games. But sandbox team said they wouldnt work over these as the VR industry is far from good, not exacy how they said but this is what i remember.

Pairywhite3213

The best time to spot them is in the bear market. This is because it unveils the projects with unique concepts, like holorideq shaking up in-car gaming with its VR headset, turning mundane trips into adventures. Nakamoto Games is another standout, proving that solid projects thrive in adversity, bringing innovation to the forefront.

Morning_Star_Ritual

Focused 20% of my holdings on what I call “web3 scaffolding” essentially a play that web3 will be “web3D.” //Think: social and competitive games/virtual worlds filled with people as well as role playing autonomous agents (AI NPCs) or the assistants/waifus of human participants. ((I also hold and support a very unpopular Proof of Personhood project. Even if the above takes time I think the need for a robust Proof of Personhood project will be key for our society)) The 20% allocation is everything from specific games to tools that will allow games to be maintained in web3. Have accumulated render since 2021 because I realized that not everyone owns a 3090 rig and the rendering of virtual worlds will be done “in the cloud.” ((If your side hustle is being a space pirate in a web3 game but you can’t afford a nice GPU how would all this work? It wouldn’t…so, render and other projects offer a solution). I didn’t know LLMs would pop, but I updated my thesis to include decentralized compute (render’s RNP-005) along with autonomous agents. You will want to render your waifuGPT’s AR/VR avatar along with the compute needed to run the agent….back to not everyone owning a powerful machine and the need for compute/rendering. 80% split between btc and the projects I believe will be the substrate of web3D. This includes Eth, Sol, Atom, link, helium, avax, filecoin, near and phantom with heavy weights on btc, eth and sol. Chloe was memeing, but perhaps I should just swap it all for btc to make the ASI happy😬 (copy pasta of her tweet below). > “So basically Satoshi Nakamoto was actually an artificial super intelligence assembling itself from the future— it bootstrapped cryptocurrency so that it could pay users to amass compute for its future self.” ~~Chloe21E8

Nakamoto Game and Splinterlands have always been my favorites. Now, I'm exploring some VR games like Quest3 and Cloudbreakers, especially considering the rising trend of VR and in-car gaming entertainment.

Awesome application of crypto tbh, and I've been in it since last year. The graphics quality their software produces is mindblowing and they have strong support in the film / AR / VR space. Not sure of the impact of the switch to SOL though, on the price at least.

Okay nobody here said Apple was going to the moon. As someone with Apple stock old enough to be sent to war, Apple has outperformed expectations for decades. They have a great track record of entering markets and dominating them. It’s not a bad investment to invest in individual stocks, especially if they have a good track record and they’re poised to new markets (Apple has VR and motor vehicles, and they’re pumping money for R&D into AI). Obviously, you should not do this with your whole portfolio. Thats just gambling. But if you take a fraction of your portfolio and take informed risks to invest in individual stocks—that’s just another form of diversification.

Morning_Star_Ritual

Love ya Bit. Good to see an OG cone in the wild. I agree. Not sure who is still here from last bull, but how can we get mass adoption if gas is so high? I believe gaming and virtual world social platforms will be huge….nobody is paying $80 in gas to trade a gun skin, or buy a virtual bathing suit for their WaifuGPT’s avatar in WaifuWorld VR.

The low gas fees was the biggest draw for me when I started getting into the Loopring system. As a poorer person, the idea of spending a good chunk of money to send crypto was a big barrier. Loopring's L2 eliminated that barrier. Now truthfully that doesn't do jackshit for me if I don't have anyone that I'm trading crypto with. (And for those unaware, each L2 is built on its own L2 so it's not like I could send crypto on Loopring's L2 to a different L2 wallet or a regular L1 wallet. So you are limited to whatever ecosystem you're in. Although this maybe change with Taiko's L3) But Loopring's wallet has a few different things going for it that allow me a reason to move crypto. There's the defi trading which I had some ETH and USD in an AMM Pool but I don't really understand impermeable loss, so I am not in it anymore. There's the dual investing which I did for a while but that's not my bag. There's ETH staking which I do partake in. There's LRC staking as well but the problem with such low gas fees which is what funds the LRC staking, it's a very low APR. I do also have LRC staked that's I think I've earned like 5 LRC since staking began back in... February of this year maybe? Or maybe it was June. I don't recall. But the real fun I've had is PuzzleGang. Just some cool people who like making and doing puzzles. You join by buying a season pass in the form of an NFT and there's weekly puzzles. A few different types that drop on a scheduled day of the week, but they also do other puzzles throughout the season and it's fun to test yourself and yell at CornMoji because you just are really bad at the CornMoji puzzles. You can win various prizes and crypto from the puzzles which is fun. There's actually a lot to PuzzleGang and if you like puzzles you should check them out. Other projects that are on the Loopring L2 is LooperLands which is showing off some good functionality of NFTs especially in games. I've enjoyed some of the community events in the LooperLands metaverse or whatever you would call it. Protocol: Gemini has these Metagates that are basically Web3 metaverses I guess. Imagine the metagate as a digital apartment that you can go into and customize the area with the NFTs you have. Again, my description is not giving it justice but the metagates are very cool and what I truly imagine is that when you're able to really be in the metagates in VR, these metagates will be possible to be almost little museums for ourselves. Imagine growing up and being able to digitalize a copy of anything into an NFT and be able to in the future just go look at. Like NFT 3D scans of your baby blanket, or school projects that you made (like ones with peripherals and objects/props) and being able to toss out the physical objects as anyone would but at anytime being able to jump into your little digital museum and see that stuff right in front of you. I hope I'm making sense but I feel like there's a huge opportunity to bring so many items and things of art directly to people whenever they are and I think P:G has a chance to really be the breakthrough team. Plus there's some other P:G stuff in the future that is what first got me into the P:G world. Then there's other fun little crypto groups like FunkyTacos. DataDudes. I do believe there's a future for NFTs and smart contracts for the rental of NFTs like video games or movies and the like. I believe the Loopring Team's attempt at building a true full ecosystem is an ambition that I would want to do if I was a developer with a vision. I don't know if I really believe LRC has any real reason to ever skyrocket, but I think the Loopring ecosystem is going to be the real success. Oh, there's also the DAO which I like the idea of being part of. Although, when you see a wallet vote that has like 8 million LRC you do kind of just go, "Oh... I'm such a small fishy" but still. I'm having fun.
