Remember when capitalists realized that they already owned literally everything in existence, and so they decided to just try to invent another universe so that they could continue infinite growth by expanding into a theoretical space that didn't exist in reality?

Because that's what the blockchain and the metaverse were, right? Like, everything in the physical world was already owned, so what if you could obtain property that didn't actually exist? And this was abstracted into bitcoin or nft or fucking real estate on something that someone claimed was "the metaverse" despite no one really knowing what the metaverse was

Like what if we just imagined an asset hard enough so that people would pay money for it?

The fucked up thing is that they were kinda on to something? Like they realized that it's all bullshit.

Money is meaningless. It used to be pieces of metal that we just DECIDED had value based on the fact that it was kinda hard to find. Then it became pieces of paper whose value was based on the metal. And now it's all just bits on a computer.

Like everything you can or cannot do in life is based on how big the number is you have attached to your name

Oh you want to buy a yacht that's so big it has it's own yacht? Well, computer says you have the right numbers, so we just subtract some numbers from your box and add numbers to our box and you now have yacht.

Oh, you want to eat dinner? Sorry, computer says you don't have the right numbers. No food for you.

But instead of realizing that the entire absurd system should be brought down because money is fake, they were just like, hey can we do that? Can we convince enough people that different arbitrary bits on a computer have value, to where we can actually trade them for material goods?

Fuckwads.
