Dizzie Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Even Warren Buffett who denounced crypto has now made a peripheral investment in it. Having it tied to the "full faith and credit" of a nation-state puts it one step closer to Fiat currency. I find the concept interesting! No need for mining. I wonder how the blockchain verification would be managed. If it were centralized, perhaps the "gas" cost would be less, or at least less worrisome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0nique23 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Howdy y’all! Interesting conversation over here about crypto and its information transformation into our world. I’ve been researching & experimenting in the space for about one year. There are many discoveries but I am no way an expert lol. We in the Web3 space are literally flying the airplane and we are building it. Here are some thoughts in my perspective & experience: Blockchain technology provides many possibilities, potentials and opportunities for all of us to experience in a more community driven way. It is an unfolding a creator economy. And a rising tide raises all ships. Here in the cryptoverse, there is an abundance mentality which may open more connectivity to concepts of synchronicity. This is for those who are interested in discovery of theoretical destiny & soul purpose. Although there are also problems to solve, especially ones concerning environment, there is a need for green solutions. Recently I saw an article from MIT that chose ETH as a top technological breakthrough. What they recognize is that crypto networks can take excess energy & turn it into hard assets. It is geographically agnostic. Additionally it has a capacity to take otherwise unviable models & turn into reality. Miners can scoop up stranded power. They rescue the economics of wind & solar installations that might be uneconomical. An an experimental fine artist in the Web3 space, there are various positive opportunities crypto provide to specifically creatives, as well as to the whole with ideas of DeFi & DeSci. I have mentioned positives like authorship & provenance of intellectual property established in a permanent way. Establishing generational wealth for the their family’s future with technology connected to legacy smart contacts. Blockchain creates amazing utility and that has untapped potential for us to discover too. Web3 gives us more ownership over our personal digital footprint, privacy & data, which should have a type of universal human rights idea attached to it as well. Additionally, my connecting piece seems like the universal income could come from this concept of data sharing. I also am researching a theory also where a scientist is discovering that information is the next evolution in the form of matter. This is utilizing photons in a novel way. This connects it all in my personal theory. I am here for it full throttle. There is a transparency trail more so compared to fiat, cash etc and that tech will evolve more. Centralized vs decentralized will be a conversation that will unfold in time. We need those to battle the bad actors, cryptoscammers and evil Artificial Intelligence. We also need more diverse voices (female especially) to help create, cultivate and build the space. The concept that science, art & technology are blending open doors for all of us. However we need a rich tapestry of human collective creativity with inclusion & diversity of all. IMO the greatest need is for those who come here to earth to spread messages of Pax et Bonum ( Love & Light ) in the darkness as a new quantum world integrates. With another hat on, Saturn’s planetary influence is disrupting the financial systems which we all are familiar with. It is creating like clockwork cyclical 8 year (I believe) collective transfer of wealth. The opposition of our establishments & institutions is fierce, distracting on purpose and full of propaganda. However Saturns influence is unavoidable. Fear screams the loudest when it is fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzie Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 @m0nique23 You have some intriguing thoughts and connections about blockchain re: abundance, natural resources, art, ethics, legacy via smart contracts, transparency, and diversity. I think they deserve developing, and would like to hear more about the concept of a quantum, integrated world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

non sequitur Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) it's called executive rhetoric, with an emphasis on focus groups, social synthesis plus buzz words without any real product. It's modern middle management but better, redefined - anyway the very same kind your Dad came home and called it BS,. We also called this collective middle or out-sourced management feeding frenzy, "skull sessions" that amounted to the same - a lot of meaningless buzz words to justify their own jobs (and indeed existence), and again at the end - no tangible product or effort. Obviously history still repeats itself. No Blockchain, skimming the pennies of everyday people is self sustaining. Repackaged snake-oil. @m0nique23 Ouch - that's gonna hurt generating wealth ..scams by the greedy aimed at the unwary.. Sister, where's the product disclosure statement? Sh*t have we become this greedy - seriously! @m0nique23 - there you go again with your 1st World problems...

m0nique23 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Hey there all ! Thank you for all the feedback & replies. All of the crypto space is intriguing and each of you has interesting points of view. Crypto utility is abstract & intangible in someways, unless considered physical-digital or “ phygital “. Bigger discussions are needed about the ethics of centralization, decentralization and machine learning are important. Quantum computing is just the tip of the iceberg here needing further investigation though. Please do not miss my point on the idea that my intentions revolve around Not acquiring material wealth, but about spiritual alchemy of a higher purpose/destiny for those who are needing to hear this. From an living artist standpoint, being compensated for creative creation, services and products have been exploited in web2 for way too long. Starving artist has stuck around for generations, we all have heard that before. Why does one have to no longer be living to have collective recognition in a worldwide way for their current cultural contributions in real time. And it is so much more difficult for ladies & people of diverse backgrounds to have visibility. It’s lopsided and it can be different if we sculpt it together. Additionally, having ownership & authorship over one’s intellectual property matters. This is one technology that can preserve culture, enhance community & communicate artistic expression. Yes, web3 need builders, inventors and architects who aren’t motivated by financial gain. Building a technology that has longevity and permanence can have a thread of goodness if we cultivate it that way. IMO being early is an advantage. In time we will see, but crypto time evolves extremely rapidly. Don’t blink lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzie Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 No Blockchain, skimming the pennies of everyday people is self sustaining. I'm not quite sure what you mean by this? Why does one have to no longer be living to have collective recognition in a worldwide way for their current cultural contributions in real time. Let's build ways for independent artists to un-commoditize and market their work! NFTs have been a boon to some of them already. Building a technology that has longevity and permanence can have a thread of goodness if we cultivate it that way. IMO being early is an advantage.

Hi yeah, I'm on discord on a few accounts. My main account is Noah_A_S#1233 & my alt is a more anonymous username that I used to go by. At one point before, I had since outed myself as B7U3C50SS, which is the name I used to use a long time ago - so now I use Noah_A_S and don't care much for anonymity and I don't personally care if it ties me to the name that I used before either, (B7U3C50SS) That's also the name of my new/alt discord handle based on my old username. B7U3C50SS#8727 as opposed to Noah_A_S#1233 dizzie#5637 - You can add me too if you want. Also, I'm in too many servers on Noah_A_S#1233 to join any new ones currently and I don't have nitro currently. I would have to join on B7U3C50SS#8727. That cool?

Im obviously not in the 'cryptoverse' whatever that actually means and have no need to connect finance to my soul purpose for theoretical destiny or synchronicity.

If vintage enough as me, "Ponzi" might ring a bell.. No. Web 3.00 is not a Ponzi scheme. It is anything but. It is a real thing. It is devised of sets of real-world goals, with lots of meaning behind it. It's far too important to just... dismiss. There are countless companies, brands/and intricacies involved in something called 'The Metaverse' for it to not be as important as it is. Here are some of the people involved as of Apr 13, 2021: It is now April 2nd, 2022 and the list grows, ever more expansive. It's the most complete/ambitious project the world has been set to focus on since the birth of digital computing outright and has been given time to formulate since the Ancient Mayans walked the Earth. (Yes, the ancient Mayans had knowledge of Spatial Reality/Spatial knowledge.) But in recent years, as recent as Douglas Engelbart, (here is his annotated copy of "As we may think by", Vannevar Bush) Vannevar Bush, and even Ivan Sutherland; The Metaverse has become a modern-day project, that by day is something that the entire planet collaborates on, daily to push ourselves forward and evolve further. By night it is something that we can dream about, and make a reality, by the day. Reading further: This is Qualcomm's definition of XR (Extended Reality): A term used to describe the 'direct experience' of 'The Metaverse.' [HEADING=2]XR is the future of mobile computing. We are making mobile XR a reality.[/HEADING] Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term encapsulating Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and everything in between. Although AR and VR offer a wide range of revolutionary experiences, the same underlying technologies are powering XR. This is the Reality-Virtuality Continuum: Everything is encapsulated by XR (Extended Reality) in this new form of computation. Glasses are also going to be one of the primary computing methods for directly experiencing The Metaverse in the future, but there are, of course, other methods surfacing. SEE Lightfield Lab for more info: Here's another article about one of my favorite companies, Magic Leap, Inc.: https://www.wired.com/2016/04/magic-leap-vr/ In fact, I created this whole playlist for videos on them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=list=PLt3BnO6X0hPgaX-ZFf_di1J0ZukbkRJ_S I recommend watching their 'concept video' first. It's sort of a marketing video that details the possibility of Spatial Computing in a very consumer-friendly, visual way.

Via, an older version of the Wikipedia page here is a definition of The Metaverse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaverse The Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space, created by the convergence of virtually enhanced physical reality and physically persistent virtual space, including the sum of all virtual worlds, augmented reality, and the Internet. The word "metaverse" is a portmanteau of the prefix "meta" (meaning beyond) and "universe"; the term is typically used to describe the concept of a future iteration of the internet, made up of persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces linked into a perceived virtual universe. Also, via Wikipedia: A metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. In futurism and science fiction, it is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets. The term "metaverse" has its origins in the 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash as a portmanteau of "meta" and "universe." Various metaverses have been developed for popular use such as virtual world platforms like Second Life. Some metaverse iterations involve integration between virtual and physical spaces and virtual economies. Demand for increased immersion means metaverse development is often linked to advancing virtual reality technology. The term has been used as a buzzword to exaggerate development progress of various related technologies and projects for public relations purposes. Information privacy, user addiction, and user safety are concerns within metaverses, stemming from challenges facing the social media and video game industries as a whole. The funny thing about this word is... there's no real way to define what the word actually means. It's like defining reality. Or the answer to life the universe and everything. Simply read this quote from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, By Douglas Adams: “O Deep Thought computer," he said, "the task we have designed you to perform is this. We want you to tell us...." he paused, "The Answer." "The Answer?" said Deep Thought. "The Answer to what?" "Life!" urged Fook. "The Universe!" said Lunkwill. "Everything!" they said in chorus. Deep Thought paused for a moment's reflection. "Tricky," he said finally. "But can you do it?" Again, a significant pause. "Yes," said Deep Thought, "I can do it." "There is an answer?" said Fook with breathless excitement. "Yes," said Deep Thought. "Life, the Universe, and Everything. There is an answer. But, I'll have to think about it." ... Fook glanced impatiently at his watch. “How long?” he said. “Seven and a half million years,” said Deep Thought. Lunkwill and Fook blinked at each other. “Seven and a half million years...!” they cried in chorus. “Yes,” declaimed Deep Thought, “I said I’d have to think about it, didn’t I?" [seven and a half million years later.... Fook and Lunkwill are long gone, but their descendents continue what they started] "We are the ones who will hear," said Phouchg, "the answer to the great question of Life....!" "The Universe...!" said Loonquawl. "And Everything...!" "Shhh," said Loonquawl with a slight gesture. "I think Deep Thought is preparing to speak!" There was a moment's expectant pause while panels slowly came to life on the front of the console. Lights flashed on and off experimentally and settled down into a businesslike pattern. A soft low hum came from the communication channel. "Good Morning," said Deep Thought at last. "Er..good morning, O Deep Thought" said Loonquawl nervously, "do you have...er, that is..." "An Answer for you?" interrupted Deep Thought majestically. "Yes, I have." The two men shivered with expectancy. Their waiting had not been in vain. "There really is one?" breathed Phouchg. "There really is one," confirmed Deep Thought. "To Everything? To the great Question of Life, the Universe and everything?" "Yes." Both of the men had been trained for this moment, their lives had been a preparation for it, they had been selected at birth as those who would witness the answer, but even so they found themselves gasping and squirming like excited children. "And you're ready to give it to us?" urged Loonsuawl. "I am." "Now?" "Now," said Deep Thought. They both licked their dry lips. "Though I don't think," added Deep Thought. "that you're going to like it." "Doesn't matter!" said Phouchg. "We must know it! Now!" "Now?" inquired Deep Thought. "Yes! Now..." "All right," said the computer, and settled into silence again. The two men fidgeted. The tension was unbearable. "You're really not going to like it," observed Deep Thought. "Tell us!" "All right," said Deep Thought. "The Answer to the Great Question..." "Yes..!" "Of Life, the Universe and Everything..." said Deep Thought. "Yes...!" "Is..." said Deep Thought, and paused. "Yes...!" "Is..." "Yes...!!!...?" "Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Getting back on track with what The Metaverse is, why it will shape our lives, and how it's so important, here are some ground rules for The Metaverse: [MEDIA=medium]7d4e06fa864c[/MEDIA] By Tony Parisi Here are some of my own as well, Tony's are different: (Plus a couple of friends Sean & Gerald, who wrote them w/ me I could not have done it w/out:) Thou shalt make The #Metaverse OPEN SOURCE FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse EASY TO USE FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse a SYMBIOTIC ECOSYSTEM FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse AVAILABLE/ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse INCLUSIVE/DIVERSE FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse DEVELOPER/NOOB FRIENDLY FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse AFFORDABLE FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse UNDERSTANDABLE FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse CROSS-PLATFORM FOR ALL. Thou shalt make The #Metaverse A SOCIAL GATHERING PLACE, & A SAFE HAVEN FOR QUESTIONS, IDEAS, FREE EXPRESSION, CREATIVITY/CREATION FOR ALL. Rights of the users of the #Metaverse: Right to Internet access: The right to Internet access, also known as the right to broadband or freedom to connect, is the view that all people must be able to access the Internet in order to exercise and enjoy their rights to freedom of expression and opinion and other fundamental human rights, that states have a responsibility to ensure that Internet access is broadly available and that states may not unreasonably restrict an individual's access to the Internet. All users should have a right to privacy and have full access to the information collected about them, and full control over it. All instances of the Metaverse will be accessible FOR ALL people, save where restricted by law. The Metaverse must be oriented towards possibility, and be carefully moderated to ensure this. The Metaverse should be a democratic platform, with decisions made by its users for the benefit of all. The decisions made by the users of the platform should be for the benefit of the users of The Metaverse, not to hurt/harm them. Rules for the Metaverse: The Mom Rule. Love each other. Have Fun & Enjoy :-) Here is also my personal wishlist of things that I'd love to see in The Metaverse: A Contest. Millions & Millions of Easter Eggs. (Personal references to one's work, within the work. A la, the Adventure videogame authored by Warren Robinett) A sense of "mission and agency" in the world. A sense of "reason & I am here to do this". A sense of "I have to do this or save this person, or else!". A sense of "The world is at stake and I'm the only one who has the knowledge and the ability to save it." The sense of "I HAVE to do this, right now!!". A sense of, "I am the main character." NPCs That act as guides, Knowledge banks/compendiums of information from all over the "known/growing" Metaverse, personal trainers, for new skills and, coaches on skills that will help you level them up once learned, merchants, that can send you on side quests to find something, and bring it back unharmed, that they will trade you for. Symbiosis with software/hardware in a form that allows humans to understand better. A Sci-Fi/Fantasy customizable 'journey' that takes you on branching/divergent paths. Stories that grow on different branches (I can take this route to get to my destination and fight Godzilla with King Kong on my side and wind up at the same destination, or I can befriend them both and take down Dr. Doom in space. and wind up there as well) NPCs are a living & breathing part of the environment/ecosystem. They can be Vikings, merchants, a space fairing civilization, an anthropomorphic ant colony in the ant-civilization, or maybe you just shrunk down inside of an anthill to defeat a rogue spy that threatens life on Mars in dimension 29b — Or maybe it's to defeat a small part of the micro-planet, where everything is tiny, (the planet is coming to life and attacking you) or maybe you are just tiny... and inside of a human body, for this experience (You're a blood cell, now). NPCs can be your guides from place to place and will teach you anything from spells to carpentry, to blacksmithing, to piloting. (You might need special equipment for this one) But they can also be real people too. People that get paid via blockchain contract do basically anything in The Metaverse, each and every time. Repeatably. To be given a score/grade each time a task is completed. Smart Clothing that allows the wearer to be tracked, which can be disguised as regular clothing. A Metaverse Gov't. One that is TRULY, FAIRLY, & ACTUALLY, run "By The People, For The People, Of The People." and runs on the same principles as those in the preamble the Founding Fathers of the U.S. Constitution sought to protect. A Metaverse Constitution for the governing body(ies) of the Metaverse which is based on the ideals found in the preamble: Waring/Factioning & Self-Referencing Faction Systems, from & between different MetaWorlds of all shapes and sizes, with each other. Gamified reality. The Oasis from Ready Player One (RPO) as a MetaGalaxy, inside of 'The Metaverse'. Everyday Adventure. The Hour Blue Story World. The Message. The Yo-Yo. Honorary Yo-Yos. Millions of Gunters Searching for Eggs & Expanding The Story/Meta Worlds of The Metaverse A Reason for Being. Ikegai. 42.

Some technologists and journalists have contrasted it with Web 2.0, wherein they say data and content are centralized in a small group of companies sometimes referred to as "Big Tech". The term "Web3" was coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, and the idea gained interest in 2021 from cryptocurrency enthusiasts, large technology companies, and venture capital firms. Some experts argue that web3 will provide increased data security, scalability, and privacy for users and combat the influence of large technology companies. Others have raised concerns about a decentralized web, citing the potential for low moderation and the proliferation of harmful content, the centralization of wealth to a small group of investors and individuals, or a loss of privacy due to more expansive data collection. Others, such as Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, have argued that web3 only currently serves as a buzzword. Basically right now it's not much more than a buzzword used to generate hype and excess funds for others willing to build around the framework of what will essentially be the end goal of something called The Metaverse, however, Web 3.00 does very much exist, and it is going to be an essential part of the framework that fleshes out The Metaverse as it becomes: But as I said there are countless companies and brands getting involved in The Metaverse, it has become the next gold rush, one of digital manifestation of digital twins, synthetic beings, and endless experience(s). It's all used in a sense to build something called Spatial Computing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_computing Spatial computing was defined in 2003 by Simon Greenwold, as "human interaction with a machine in which the machine retains and manipulates referents to real objects and spaces". It has also been coined in 2007 during the 0631 Dagstuhl workshop by André DeHon, Jean-Louis Giavitto and Frédéric Gruau for a field of research in computer science where space is not an abstract notion but a first-order effect that has to be optimized. The Spatial Computing web site gathers some work done on that subject. With the advent of consumer virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality, companies such as Microsoft and Magic Leap use "spatial computing" in reference to the practice of using physical actions (head and body movements, gestures, speech) as inputs for interactive digital media systems, with perceived 3D physical space as the canvas for video, audio, and haptic outputs. It is also tied to the concept of 'digital twins'. Also sometimes referred to as Extended Reality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_reality Extended reality (XR) is a term referring to all real-and-virtual combined environments and human-machine interactions generated by computer technology and wearables.[circular reference] E.g. It includes representative forms such as augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and virtual reality (VR) and the areas interpolated among them. The levels of virtuality range from partially sensory inputs to immersive virtuality, also called VR. XR is a superset which includes the entire spectrum from "the complete real" to "the complete virtual" in the concept of reality–virtuality continuum introduced by Paul Milgram. Still, its connotation lies in the extension of human experiences especially relating to the senses of existence (represented by VR) and the acquisition of cognition (represented by AR). With the continuous development in human–computer interactions, this connotation is still evolving. XR is a rapid growing field being applied in a wide range of ways, such as entertainment, marketing, real-estate, training and remote work. Here is also a brief history of XR (Extended Reality) by Rony Abovitz: [MEDIA=medium]6197e7429c77[/MEDIA] He also is the C.E.O. of this awesome company called Sun And Thunder, LLC. & wrote this mega cool explainer for Xverses on the company page, as well as being the founder, C.E.O. & President of Magic Leap, Inc. Previously he was the founder of MAKO Surgical Corp. — A company that created AI-assisted robotic surgical robotics, for knee, hip, and joint pain, which was sold to Stryker on 09/25/2013 — and even earlier Z-KAT, a similar company at an earlier timeframe. [HEADING=2]on xverses[/HEADING] https://www.sunandthunderstudio.com/xverses Xverses may become one of our most important systems in the coming decades. A way to think about an Xverse is that it can be a synthesis of a large and complex array of technologies: high-speed networks, web, AI, IOT, XR, optics, robotics/automation, sensing, haptics, computing in many forms (quantum, supercomputing, cloud, edge, mobile, embedded), blockchains/NFTs, game engines, stories, characters, and endless worlds. At Sun and Thunder we advocate the creation of open, decentralized Xverses - with architectures that resemble democratic, open, and free societies. These require peer to peer cooperation, and a set of technologies, ethics and philosophies that best integrate with a free and open world, one that is equitable, safe, and fair. Our current computing systems and internet are on a path to grow into the capabilities needed to create Xverses that are amazing and wondrous. There will be a clash of ideas between those Xverse systems that are centrally controlled systems that resemble autocratic governments, and those that are balanced and decentralized, which better resemble the ideals of free and liberal democracies. The Age of Xverses will bring significant economic promise (likely in the trillions of dollars US). The greater promise revolves around how people will connect with each other and also advanced entities in these new digital spaces. How we live and work will very much be shaped by these massive systems, which will likely have a sentient capability that can exceed ours. Ethical guardrails, empathy, and frameworks to center the use of these technologies for the benefit of humanity will be critical. We believe in an open, free, creative, imaginative, and fair future. If you believe in the same thing, stay tuned :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

non sequitur Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) .. a precariously vulnerable virtual reality, that still relies on the hamster wheel to power. You all seem to forget that there will always be a real reality. There is absolutely nothing new or breakthrough about it, and it is a dependent system, dependent on the real reality - you know the one that powers the fake one. Neither revolutionary nor really smart, just ultra globalisation. Seriously, this thread is just an advert.

m0nique23 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 GM y’all ! Thanks for sharing your thoughts here in this thread. You are right to question the power sources for this revolutionary technology. In fact lol I created a hilarious meme about this very subject last fall- I’ll post it in the discord too There is such a need for innovation and evolution in the field of energy. But information is frequency, matter & photons to get back to crypto’s transformation concept. Check this experiment happening: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0087175 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this experiment happening: https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/5.0087175 While information has not been proven to be a 5th state of matter, the experiment suggestion in the article you linked is certainly interesting. If such an experiment were undertaken, the results could prove to be a revolutionary, unifying scientific principle. Or, it could prove to be nothing at all. I have a little trouble with the notion that information is an inherent physical property of all matter, rather than a thought we construct/ extrapolate from the matter. Intriguing nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
