Lol This is why Bitcoin will never go away they have so many people ingrained in the thought that it's going to go to the Moon that no matter how much it falls someone will be there to buy it back up

The "NASA metaverse" story is a real story, but as filtered through the greedy bullshit dreams of coiners. The actual story is that NASA has a new public R&D challenge (one of a long line) to use VR/AR to advance the state of astronaut training. NASA is involved because astronaut training. Epic is involved because Unreal Engine. It's all pretty sane. Non-bullshit news article: https://www.zdnet.com/article/nasa-and-epic-games-to-crowdsource-vr-tech-for-mars-exploration/ Actual website of the thing: https://www.herox.com/MarsXR

So is “metaverse” what dummies are calling VR? Is that all it is was this whole time? Like when “cloud” was just “internet” for a while?

It's used in two ways, one to mean VR and one to mean dumb crypto poo poo. The dumb cryptoshits point to the dumb VR stuff as proof that their crypto poo poo is going to take off even though it is entirely unrelated.

Basically it's techbros who did a rail and watched Ready Player One and thought that an all inclusive VR world seems aweseome. Basically facebook but you're wearing a headset.

These days, "metaverse" is just any futuristic thing that's online, has graphics, and isn't a normal videogame. From online social spaces to VR to NFTs, basically anything a tech journalist hasn't heard of before qualifies as "metaverse".

Wrong Atkinson character. Blackadder would be taking advantage of NFTs Baldrick would make his own NFTs (nice fat turnips) no one wants and Percy would be the proud owner of all the most overpriced NFTs at the end of the episode

quote:The project also implemented a steep 50% tax on remaining holders to discourage them from trying to sell. I thought a big part of crypto was avoiding taxes? There isn't a big enough lol for a company that scammed people and then applied a tax to ensure the suckers don't sell. Whenever you think it can't get dumber cryptobros prove you wrong.

I think Bitfinex just had Tether laying around beforehand not really doing anything, but was pretty convenient to give everyone's accounts the "haircut" and pay them in tether IOUs when the hack/embezzlement happened.

My auntie Baldrick is always telling me about the turnips she gets sold, sir." "I see. This would be your aunt who thinks she owns Tower Bridge, am I right?" "That's the one sir."

If you ever watched an episode of Mr. Bean, you should realise that him getting involved in NFTs can only end with the complete destruction of all crypto.
