u guys wanna see the funniest shit ive seen this year so far?? ofc u do
context: mom has a colleague who is into crypto and wants to make some nft site for ppl to sell. merch? of their nfts?
anyways i showed my mom a video from yongyea abt how nfts are almost all worthless now, and explained that nobody is going to fucking want merch when the acutal nft itself is worthless
my mom then sent the video to her collegue and her collegue (who is 52 btw). responded. with.
like she didnt even watch the video or leave it for later or check the sources and just. regurgitated some bingo sheet cryptobro buzzwords.
the thing that makes it even funnier is- she still hasnt got this site up because one of the partners has taken a bunch of money and hasnt produced the assets he was paid to get. but she insists 'its safe and there isnt a site like this so it's a great way to make money!'
the reason a site like that doesnt exist is bc all attempts to make merch around nfts have crashed and burned and nobody fucking wants it. help

It’s a money-making scheme, lads. The podcast, the so-called “TV show”, they aren’t the actual product. They exist to promote and sell the actual product: their “metaverse” with all its contents, including NFTs.
They’re being vague about this on their social media - you’ve probably seen the mentions of “Xavatars” and “metaverse”, but no specific explanations of what that actually means. So here’s a quote from their LinkedIn, geared towards investors and business partners rather than social media followers and potential customers:
“... we are creating an animated show, The Sync Report, populated by XAVATAR avatars as a marketing tool and revenue generator. With the creation of the animated show we are expanding the development of the metaverse which our XAVATAR avatars will be able to populate, explore and utilize which allows for promotion of the space and sales of components of the ecosystem.”
What does all that mean? I’m not a business partner, I haven’t heard the full sales pitch, I don’t know all the details. This is what I do know, as far as I understand it:
A metaverse is a digital universe, a combination of the internet and virtual reality, where you can interact with people virtually. Like an online video game, except there’s no game. Note that the metaverse doesn’t actually exist yet, it’s a thing that the Facebook folks are working on.
The idea with “metaverse” and NFTs and all of that is that ideally, everything will be monetised. An online world where everything is for sale and everything costs money.
TSR are building their own metaverse called the Xataverse. The “TV show” will take place in this ‘verse, which basically means that if you want to watch it, you will need to enter it. You do that by getting a Xavatar, which is an NFT. Presumably, you will need to buy this Xavatar, since NFTs cost money. The NFTs of Colin that they’re selling will function as Xavatars.
Again, quoting from the LinkedIn, these Xavatars will “enable users to access various opportunities within our platform” and “participate in “metaverse” content shows, such as video podcasts, news, entertainment, and any kind of broadcast, and create virtual objects, all of which can easily be converted into NFTs”. Again, similar to a video game really, except there’s no game and you’re using real money to take part. Everything is monetised.
By the way: the wallet they want you to use is MetaMask. Which only works with Ethereum, so you’re locked into using Ethereum, one of the currencies that use a ridiculous amount of electricity and is contributing to climate change and the energy crisis. It’s also been falling in value lately, so if you buy, say, $100 worth of Ethereum today, it might be worth $70 in a week’s time.
Oh, and in order to set up a digital wallet and use it, you need to hand over your credit card details and personal ID information.
The “show” is a marketing tool and revenue generator. It exists to make money and promote this digital universe, just like NFTs exist to get people to invest in cryptocurrency. In my opinion, they got Colin on board in hopes of dangling him before his fans to draw them into this Xataverse thing. You want to “see” him on this “TV show”? Buy cryptocurrency, buy a Xavatar, and come right on in! You want more exclusive content? Buy tokens for that! Help drive up the value of the ‘verse and its associated NFTs, so that investors will think this is a valuable thing to invest in.
I also have, shall we say, some doubts that a little company in Kerry is going to manage to create something that Facebook is still working on. Again, the metaverse is still a hypothetical thing, it doesn’t actually exist yet. I think there’s a very real possibility here that once these NFTs drop and they’ve either sold enough or convinced some investors to give them money, the whole thing will just... fade quietly away. It wouldn’t be the first time that happens. But even if it doesn’t, again, the whole thing is a money-making scheme, it’s not about the podcast or the show at all, it’s not about Colin, it’s about using those things to create value, to get people to get involved in and commit to this “Xataverse” and spend money on it.

ngl I'm pretty pissed off with Misha Collins because whenever he does something people come back to tumblr after months/years to make fun of him or complain or whatever, and they see me on their dash merrily going about my day free of the burden and unfollow me
which is perfectly in their right but Number Go Down When Misha Does Weird Things is turning into a pavlovian response you know?
