It sounds like it'll be similarly challenging to you as it was for me. But once I started actually tasting shit it felt like a world opened before me. Would go through the pain again (reminds me a bit of Bitcorns). Good luck and keep us updated!

It is not, use:

Inb4 we all get banned for propping up potential CAPitulators.

Are you saying the earth is not locally flat like a basketball?

I read bull as well at first, this being WO and all haha.

The second glass is for dumping a drop or two of water into your whisky. It'll change the flavour profile, so taste it first without water, then add a small splash and taste again.

Cheers.

You sure post like one though.

Those are rookie numbers.

Possibly just bad timing. Bitcoin was going to correct anyways, so there isn't necessarily a connection to stocks. The coming years of traditional market recession will show if crypto is correlated and to what extent.

Right place at the right time. Technical traders would've dumped the market anyways. Nothing unexpected is happening and the BCash twats are just an ornament to the inevitable. So certainly no credit due for that twat, other than the show he's been putting on. 10/10 drama.

No, but it can be used as a tool to control a narrative in the short-term and create prey for whales to dump on/pillage from. The ones that move the market in the short-term and cause snowball effects. Long-term it's all irrelevant.

Technical traders very much do. As well as the MSM following sheep.

Too lazy to post the graph right now. But the $2800 support level was reached the day the crypto market cap broke $100 Billion. Should be a very strong support if we get there, but dropping below it could trigger a further drop due to psychological horseshit and going back to sub $100 Billion market cap. Probably some discrepancy due to different altcoin prices and amounts, but the range seems roughly accurate given that everything is tethered to BTC.

No, my plan is to fully oversee the entire process, not just finance it. I meant that there wouldn't be money going to some directors/CEOs who have pretty high annual salaries etc, since I'd be the one doing their job and spending my own money. If I really got to a point where I'd pull the plug on that plan I wouldn't leave a single thing to chance. I don't want a cookie cutter cash cow game, I want a world.

I'm fully expecting not to be able to start without having funds in that region because I can't possibly expect technological progress to just cut costs to a tenth or so, despite the feasibility. It's mostly a pipe dream, but one that I've been exploring over the years since actually having the option doesn't seem impossible, albeit not very likely. I spend a good amount of time every so often thinking about what I'd do if different scenarios play out, and this is just one.

There are also a few different plans to raise money without relying on Bitcorn, but I'm not sure I like the idea of being responsible for the livelihood of people as I like to just start and stop shit on a whim. I'm kind of like a moth flying from one blinking light to another, except that the light is some random shit that I start to find interesting for no particular reason. Can't do that when running a business, hence my involvement with finance. Can trade and invest without ever talking to anyone these days, what a time to be alive.

I'd be flabbergasted if that hobby didn't turn out immensely profitable. I just wouldn't do it for the money and would be happy with just creating something that I could enjoy for numerous years of my life.

I also want to nudge it in a direction that fosters a try-harding mentality in casuals that is completely absent in today's instant gratification mainstream games to hopefully create a culture of non-complacent people that try to go out and do something that others would look at in awe. Without them noticing what is happening to them as they play (which is what happened to me as I spent around a decade full-time playing a single game).

Basically, a game that brainwashes people in doing something with their lives instead of buying a fucking iPhone every year with all of their savings.

Your Math is actually more than sensible on this one, given the assumption that $100k is the target.

Keep in mind that people could be satisfied with a relatively frugal lifestyle (not living in an insanely huge mansion, while still having cash for all the high-end nerd toys one would want; the most outrageous TVs are barely 10k, desktop computers at best half etc.). Not everyone needs lambos, yachts, planes or whatever the fuck rich people tend to get.

Developing a game that shits on the crappy triple A titles takes a very long time as well. And the full sum isn't going to be spent in one go, but over half a decade as a lower end estimate. That gives some wiggle room. There are also ways to be more economical about this if you're not in a rush to release a title to generate revenue. You can start small, lay a very strong foundation, then scale up with the years as necessary.


What I'm saying is, is that while the 600 BTC number is a very good guess (as the 10m difference to the higher end estimate is enough to live lavishly for the rest of one's life) it can be both significantly lower or higher.

AI is developing at a crazy speed as well with one crucial example being the ability of taking low resolution images and having an AI upscale it to high-resolution given enough training data (textures are one of the biggest cost factors in this industry). There also has been an AI that turned video material into a functioning game engine. Basically, the 20-50m estimate that is true for today's titles might very well be cut down to a fraction before Bitcoin hits 100k or whatever price.

I may be well off, but I'm sure others have much more than me. I certainly can't move the BTC/USD market, so I'm lightyears away from being a whale.


Edit: Also. Since I'd be the one funding it there would be no CEO twat sponging up all the money, which would probably cut out a dozen millions or so lmao.

You're not supposed to eat teflon.

The world is no longer as it used to be.

I take a tolerance break every few months for a week for no reason other than the insanely vivid dreams that one gets. Shit is pretty wild.
