A patch of virtual real estate in the online world Decentraland sold for a record $2.4 million worth of cryptocurrency, the buyer crypto investor Tokens.com and Decentraland said on Tuesday.
This stuff is so dumb. They realize nobody is going to care about this stuff unless they're forced to right? Rich people better get to figuring out ways to force people into their new digital prisons quick or their investments will be worth nothing. I would link to their website where their "join" button takes you a page that tells you to log in using your "wallet" (no thanks), but the page lags like hell so I can only assume they're using it to mine cryptocurrency or something.
Idk how closely Meta will succeed in achieving its vision, but if we’re going to get to a space of VR assets and property that people invest significant time/energy/psyche in, I think it’ll be a system of incentives and monopoly over time that will force us there, with things like Meta and Decentraland being overtures of Capital in this direction. On the one hand this all feels like it’s either a temporary grift or a framework to project confidence and legitimacy to investors, but on the other hand it feels like the natural dialectical process of the falling rate of profit + no more physical frontier + eternal market development as a core aspect of capitalism. I think we should be taking this stuff more seriously as leftists honestly. Capitalists will most certainly create a new dimensional prison beyond our material cybernetic one, out of both greed and necessity
