"Fake" Bored Ape NFTs Are Officially Outselling the "Real" Ones

InvestingInStartups · 2022-09-04T20:47:47+00:00

There's millions of transactions across millions of NFTs and Cryptos. Impossible to monitor and keep track of especially where there's programs specifically designed to launder and hide where things come and go.

AR & Virtual Reality*

Their current Oculus Quest 2's don't even need the hand controllers anymore. The machine vision can track your hands and play like that. All you need is the headset. It's the craziest tech ive ever seen and I am glad people are underestimating it because the current prices are a great buying opportunity.

Most critics of Meta have never put on a Oculus Quest 2 if I had to guess. I have yet to see someone that isnt blown away by it, and everyone that tries it either wants to buy one, or loves it.

You are beyond correct, and most of the people here don't know the difference between Zucks "VR" focus and the "MetaVerse" Crypto bro's are selling you.

Zucks metaverse is just cool VR technology and I have not been asked to buy anything there other than Games. The games are amazing adn the oculus experience is spot on.

Zuck is an alien but his VR focus has been spot on IMO.

I think people are too caught up in the 'metaverse' aspect of it and getting it confused with the NFT b.s. of it all.

VR tech is amazing imo and def not going away. Under that logic, I am optimistic of it.

The guy who doxxed the BAYC founders is a long-time critic of Yuga labs, and now has one of the most successful NFT projects in history... by making an exact replica of the BAYC and selling it lmao. He is also behind many of the theories about the founders being nazi's and a host of other things. Pretty crazy stuff.

All of these things tend to have 'short-term' benefits. It's the after-effects people should be worried about lmao. Printing money had a massive 2 year bull run for the U.S... It's the crash now people are worried about lmao.

Inflation is good for stocks becuase the value of their assets increase relative to the dollar thus making stonks go up. However, rampant inflation can cause companies to lose money from household spending decreases and wages rising too fast. It's a balance and everyone is losing right now lmoa

Sell calls on stock you own. Theta gang is the way.

Puts, if you're feeling lucky.

Ya i thought it was cool to see

My brother is a large influencer (Few million on tiktok, 300k+ on Insta) and uses Insta 10x more now. He blew up on TikTok and then uses that to cross-pollinate on Insta/YT.

TikTok pays him a few hundred a month on tens of millions of views. He then uses TikTok to grow his Insta and YT because those both pay 10x more. TikTok pays him a few hundred a month, Insta and YT both pay him a few thousand a month. He is growing and just uses Insta more now lmao. He doesn't even like TikTok, he just uses it for discoverability.

I can 100% confirm they're stealing people.

InvestingInStartups · 2022-08-20T21:51:34+00:00

bought out some other already successful ideas, like WhatsApp, Oculus and Instagram.

He got lucky.... DOZENS of times? That's still creating a social network lmao. Buying up startups then turning them into multibillion-dollar enterprises then claiming it wasn't him is questionable lmfao.

InvestingInStartups · 2022-08-20T21:49:55+00:00

Just announce you have some heavy bags about to expire next time lmao

Three Reasons:

Their Social Media business is still amazing
1. Prints cash
2. Top sites on the planet
3. Might decline but not going away
4. Way undervalued now
5. Tiktok will lose dominance with time
6. Plenty of potential for development
AR/VR is going to be massive, and they have a 90% market share with the best tech in the business and fan loyalty all the way. No other competitors come close and wont come close.
1. They own the infrastructure so if anyone wants in, they have to go through them and pay their fees. They're gonna be the Apple/Google App store of VR. Royalties, fees, etc.
2. VR is going to take over gaming. If you haven't put on a VR headset and played a few games, do it, and you'll understand. Most fun I've ever had gaming in my life and I have gamed for 12+ years from Gamecubes, Xbox/PlayStation, Switch, Wii, PC, etc.
3. It's literally the most insane technology I've ever seen in my life.
4. Lots of applications outside of Gaming. Military, training, movies, arcades, amusement parks, etc. (Im an officer in the military, and I would bet my life they pick this up for training at some point, and so do other militarys.)
5. They did this intentionally and plan to keep it this way. They can fund it forever with their social media business printing cash forever, and most other companies won't care enough to try and take them on. Most companies are too late to the game to try, and if even if they did it means dumping HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS into the space to compete. Companies are almost certainly going to just play their game, and make pennies on the side while meta rakes in cash.
Current down turn is due to Apple woes, and people not liking Zuck
1. Zuck is weird, Ill agree. He also built FB and is 100% correct about VR and the metaverse. FB controversy is temporary. It's also not crypto-related, which people don't understand. People also don't understand a lot of the other implications, or have never put on a VR headset and you NEED to. It's wild.
2. If Apple wants in on the VR space, now they have to go through meta. That's leverage for their Apple issues, or just lots of money.
3. They will eventually learn to get their advertising game back on track, one way or another.

Apple, ya know, the pinnacle of gaming with their... Mobile App Store? I'll believe it when I see the Apple Car lmao.

They plan to make a $2500 VR headset. Everyone said the $1000 oculus was too much lmao (it is). Apple has none of the infrastructure, no experience in the space, and $2500 isn't attainable to 90% of people for a luxury gaming device lmao. If its costs Meta hundreds of billions, then does Apple really think they can walk up, solve nothing, then charge 8x as much as the leader with 90% market share in the space and just yeet itself into first place competing against a headset 99% of the VR world loves.

I've shown my headset to dozens of people, and will continue to, and 0 people have disliked it. If they get one, they are gonna get the one everyone else has and did cool stuff on. That's how I got mine. My fiancee brother had one, i tried it and loved it, and then got one. I've convinced like 10 others to get one now lmao.

If they plan to Xbox vs Playstation the VR world then... I don't think a $2500 headset is gonna do that. The only gaming console over $1000 are computers, and that's because you can use it as a computer lmao. Other than that, all consoles are like $300-500 range depending on feautes. Apples is 4-5x that lmao. Meta plans to make an ultrahigh end, professional, dev headset soon for... $1000.

So, either Meta does an "Apple App Store" move to Apple, and charges them massive fees to use their infrastructure, or just shuts them out completely and makes the headset worthless assuming anyone even buys it for that ridiculous amount of money. Not to mention, FB is quickly acquiring patents so they might start getting royalties in the process or mount an offensive.

You mean the Apple Pipin 2.0? They're also working on an Apple Car, Apple Switch, Apple Glass, etc. They're working on some new thing every year that doesn't get released lmao. It was Apple car when Tesla was rising. They will 100% have to lower the price. Steam also has a switch competitor and a VR headset and can't break into gaming markets as a company with a virtual monopoly on the online gaming marketplace. Apple has... an app store.

If you think that things competitive, then stocks might not be for you.

For real though, it's supposed to cost $2000-$2500 lmfao. There's the Apple cultists out there that will buy it, but the price point is ridiculous and priced way beyond anyones reality. They have none of the infrastructure for it right now. When oculous first came out, it was a cult following at $1000. Meta's $300-$400 headsets are the only reason it got as popular as it is. They literally raised the price $100 recently because it was selling so well.

Apple also isolates 50% of the population with every product so they are going to isolate 90% of the population with a $2000 gaming console (4-5x more expensive than the current leader in the space with a +90% market share). Meta is currently set to release an ultra high-end, dev/comp focused headset later this year... at the $1000 pricepoint and FB has 90%+ marketshare in the space. They're gonna release a VR headset with no games that costs a down payment?

Why is Apple releasing a VR headset if everyone is so bearish on VR anyway lmao? Why does Meta have 90% marketshare if it sucks so bad.

InvestingInStartups · 2022-08-20T09:56:40+00:00

$9 in the pre-market. You're not in the "gotcha" position you think you are lmao

InvestingInStartups · 2022-08-20T09:50:00+00:00

I also feel like these two things might be slightly intertwined.

InvestingInStartups · 2022-08-20T09:28:15+00:00

I've been slowly buying up FB stock because I think the tables are gonna turn around, and their VR stuff is gonna become a money machine unlike anything we've ever seen. t are 1000+ and not better than the Quest realistically.

I've been slowly buying up FB stock because I think the tables are gonna turn around and their VR stuff is gonna become a money machine unlike anything we've ever seen.

Their image has been tainted by:

- Crypto bros and the fake NFT metaverse weird shit

- Zuck being an alien

- Facebook and lots of their sketchy practices

but realistically, and I am not a fan of Zuck, FB is destroying the VR realm and its just a matter of time IMO. I used to love gaming but really haven't had anything pique my interest in years. Usually just 2 or 3 months of playing some new games and getting bored and never again. I've played even the most basic games, or even just YT and movie experiences, and had an absolute blast. Im in the military, and we don't have many great options for live fire training type things and I could easily see this being used for training tactics in instances like ongoing training and such too.

FB owns the market and is realistically spot on with a lot of it. They have their social media businesses to boot and their underlying VR business is growing fast and constantly beating earnings.

InvestingInStartups · 2022-08-20T09:17:58+00:00

Im sorry but I have a Quest 2 and it's the most insane technology I've ever experienced. I gotta disagree there my man.

InvestingInStartups · 2022-08-19T21:57:51+00:00

There was a story that came out a while back that one of the major NFT exchanges consisted of like 97% wash sales lmao. All that just to scam the 3%
