so last night a friend introduced me to crypto luigi and, further, to atlas earth and man, it's incredible the kind of thing crypto nutjobs are (were?) into
so apparently atlas earth lets you "buy" virtual plots of land which map to the real earth, owning those plots of land lets one earn "rent", you can boost your rent by watching ads, ultimately you're not looking at anything like a return according to the numbers I can find in public; according to makeuseof you're looking at a break-even time of 50 years for any given plot (this is, presumably, not counting watching all your ads or whatever). it also appears that you can sell plots of land, but like, they don't do anything, it's Pokémon Go but fucking expensive
digging into the website just makes it all the more bizarre, it suggests you "Connect your favorite credit cards" which is an utterly alien concept to me first of all
also, it's July 2023, right? well the roadmap says, in a manner not dissimilar from how Dylan Merchant talks about Outlaw in Hypnospace Outlaw, that there's a racing game coming once they get some "final stability upgrades" done, and that'll happen in March
fantastic
