Callum has made many videos on Earth 2 and about their games development.

"it's like a trading card game, where everyone can make cards and there is no game" the best description of NFTs I 've heard to this day
same here
Basically yugioh dueling network.
Yeah. The only one that actually made sense to my smooth brain
@@r3zaful except even worse because at least you can play that game.
@@Koji_CH92 Imagine you are playing Pokemon Card with your friend, and then... you can use your Blue-Eyes White Dragon Card from yugioh with 3000 atk & 2500 def, and use it to fight your friend Charizard Pokemon Card with 150 hp & 200 atk. You use your attack to attack the Charizard, but suddenly your friend uses UNO reverse card.
The more I hear the phrase "we're all gonna make it," the more desperate it sounds. It's not some dramatic rallying cry, a bold declaration of a glorious future. It's more like the thing a character in a horror movie says to another character who's having a panic attack, after the killer cuts the power to the building and starts roaming the halls.
Thats just a scam cult catchphrase
The only ones that "gonna make it" are the top 1% who you will never reach lol
well put!
In a movie, whenever anybody says, "we're all going to make it," sombody will die. And it's probably the person who said it.
"we're all gonna make it" originates from Zyzz, a bodybuilding internet personality from the early 2000s. Zyzz and his general outlook on life spread through the lifting community, percolating within the /fit/ board on 4chan, where its both a sincere statement of hope and also used in jesting derision. weirdo crypto guys have taken the phrase, without actually understanding what it ever meant, just taking it at face value, because most of them are idiots. in conclusion, youre both right and wrong and it depends on the context
@@DeliriumTrigger2 The difference is that you will actually make it if you work for your physique.
I legitimately hope this guy realizes that NFTs are not a sustainable source of income and stops wasting his money on it.
They are a sustainable source of income if you are the one minting and selling them to suckers, tho.
You just have to convince enough whales that with you they will find waters full of food, while in reality you have a side hustle with some Japanese restaurants and a few research boats.
The day that person does come to his senses he will try everything to be a victim and try to get his money back.
@@atraxian5881 just call it what it is, a scam.
I remember thinking years ago that if uniqueness was the foundation of value, then childish scribbles would be randomized and so be the most valuable thing of all.
You just explained one of the pillars of appeal of "modern art"
Not really, because it is not rare. Anyone can do it. Sure, not the exact unique entity, but you need an additional societal element to it; an impetus to want it for it to be valuable. Actually, an impetus of others to want it.
Some unique things are more unique.
@@TomJakobW Please, the only reason those kind of art has any value is just because the people making it have connections
@@numerobis2178 I recall a woman getting recognition for her work which was actually the result of her child playing with paint on canvas. No connections from what I recall. Imagine an art student being outdone by a child with no education in art.
here's the ironic joke of life. your innocence is the most valuable thing of all, but you only realize the value it had once you don't have it anymore.
2 creditcards is still less then 14 creditcards. I know someone who was into wrester jpg's. A lot... ended up with 14 creditcards in a bankruptcy.
It is pretty sad isn't it ;!
holy shit? doesnt even seem real omg
@@yankokassinof6710 I'm afraid dsp is real
Dsp?
And DSP could really use a 3 letter domain name.
Coincidence? I think not.
I did everything correct!
I find it pretty interesting that the first people who caught up on the strangeness of ‘The Metaverse’ are gamers.
Maybe because we all have our virtual worlds and the ones proposed in the metaverse just sucks.
ye, but also it's hardly the first time someone's tried using video games to scam people. just look at the mobile market, and the direction triple a games are going. we all know the signs because we've seen it millions of times before. nobody else has though, and those are the ones that are going to get suckered into it regardless of what you say.
Like Callum here said, Crypto bros talk about "interactive experiences" like they've never _played_ a videogame in their lives, but they really like the idea of them.
One could argue moos and muds were metaverses.
I used to hang out in "the metro", the MOO of the digital city of Amsterdam and code all kinds of cool stuff. I had my very own tropical water paradise, with slides you could go on and everything, at some point in the early 90s. 😂
A few of them are still going. Mucks more than muds.
I think the most accurate definition of NFT I've heard is "Nincompoop Fund Transfer - A method to move money away from stupid people".
I would ignorant, as opposed to stupid. Personally.
"I'm -bleeding- in debt, making me the victor"
"We purposely told him to invest in the wrong market."
Shit that's actually true for NFTs
10/10
...what a strange place to encounter a kung pow reference....
Loved the WH40K Orcs comparison, was thinking the same thing as he said it.
Please don’t tell me this person maxed out their credit cards to “invest” in Earth 2 with that kind of financial situation?
Poor people will drive themselves deeper into poverty for a mere chance of "going big"
That's why lottery tickets are available in every single store in poorer areas. Poor people are more likely to try the 1/14000000 chance.
well he did say he'll pay it in 2 months, so i don't know what kind of financial situation that is. Still a complete dumbass tho.
We wont tell you then 👀
but it's ok, because when Earth 2 comes out, he'll get be super mega rich from the returns on his investment.
/s
I forgot about "Information Super Highway"
Man, thats such a cool name.
I didn't know I needed JSH dramatic tweet readings in my life, but I'm fucking glad I now do!
>250 job applications
Wtf background do you have to have to get shot down that much? I'll admit the amount of places that shoot you down is annoyingly high but even my worst job hunt only took me like a week and maybe 2 dozen apps to get a callback.
And usually then a bunch of those other apps hit me back sooner or later.
Guessing he was applying for a bunch of tech jobs and thought bragging about his crypto was qualification enough.
wait for earth 3 xD
That’s what I’m doing. Earth 2 dumb. Earth 3 though, now that’s something worth my money!
Dude.... Earth 3D.. 0.0
Hush now dont spoils the cabals big plan
@@bananasandwich8335 lol
@dou jin or 5G space edition.
3:50 that just sounds like insurance with the option to not collect it. Actually, if you somehow sold an NFT of a burnt down house, will your insurance pay you since it's no longer yours/you already got some payment out of it?
I've avoided sports games for a long time because of the cards in those games. I know you can get packs just by playing, but that takes forever.
Those cards remind me of NFT's, but worse. When the next Madden or Fifa comes out, all those cards are worthless, unless you play the old games, but I think most of those folks buy the latest game, usually trade in the old, and move on and do it all over again.
Csgo skins are the best example of nfts that no one calls ntfs. They all unique and u can resell them.
@@NoisR my guess is that CSGO skins are more secure than NFTs because if the developer wanted they could roll back trades if you get hacked.
With NFTs, good luck with that.
Not sure if CSGO works like that, but it is literally applicable to almost every game with online trading.
NFTs would just make it impossible to replace / roll back hacked items or destroyed items.
@@atraxian5881 i think they used to do that in csgo but not sure if they still do roll backs since many people abused the shit out of the system to dublicate skins and since this shit is expensive af they stopt.
Now thinking about how to send that poor man an NFT of thoughts and prayers.
I really don't get how people think this is going to take off. Do people not realize why legal tender works? There are resources/debt ratios that determine the value of a coin/banknote. So, while we don't rely on the gold standard anymore but it still takes into account a country's resourses/debt. Crypto is just digital monopoly money. When you can just distribute trillions of this imaginary money that has no backing, then what is it ultimately worth? Maybe I'm too old to get it but just sounds like a computer-age con. However, congrats to those artists that are selling art for NFTs and making money.
as a star citizen chairman's club member, I approve this message
At least Star Citizen has a (potential) game behind it and it's not selling you (that much) on rarity. It's like caffeine pills (or maybe fenfen) compared to straight, unadulterated meth.
"you're still gonna be on earth 1.." nah this bodied me
Man, I miss old scams. You used to have to actually make an effort to con people out of their money. Have their phone number, know their mothers maiden name, the name of their first pet. A convincing Nigerian accent. Nowadays all you need is a shitty jpeg and a twitter stan
This dude's description reminds me of that one dudes LinkedIn page where he has declared working 3 jobs at McDonald's with being a crypto investor in between.
every crypto bro is hoping to be the protagonist of their own rags to riches movie
just came across advertisement for "Gate of Abyss" - it's like Earth 2 mixed with Pokemon Go, and of course it'll have NFTs and Play to earn and all the other obvious red flags... :D
1)make NFT of an umbrella 2)break umbrella 3)wait for rainy day 4)show NFT to all your co-workers
These two are golden.. “He’s right, YOU were” 🤣🤣🙏🙏
I'm sad that they just glossed over the "burn the real house to improve the NFT houses' value" comment. That had me hard laughing.
Came here to see nftlosers getting dunked. Stayed for the chat going all ORKY the moment 40K is mentioned. God I love this channel.
"We're gonna make it!" declare idiots with billions of real currency spunked into nothingsauce internet magic, up to their eyeballs in crippling debt.
When will you make another earth2 video based off the new version 1 video.
Finally, now I can truely call NFTs heresy!
That guy's a LAIR, tenthreeletterdomainnames is still up for grabs! 🤔🙃
I have to say, there is a hum in the background of this video. I only got about 2 minutes in and it's already giving me a headache, on top of this giys financial situation
2:00 my brain also shut off at that moment LOL
Omg. XD Josh even uses analogies in everyday conversation.
Josh is so right with saying this is like a cult and it's a tulpa. I have no qualms about mocking cryptobros and stuff.
I feel genuinely bad for someone that falls into NFTs that thunk that maybe they'll invest a bit because they're told it's a good thing but I have absolutely no sympathy for the tech cryptobros pushing the message and trying to sell the people on a false investment dream when their life comes crumbling down
If I was buying a house from someone and find out that a NFT comes with it or the NFT is the "house" in question...The guy is getting slapped harder than Chris Rock, he getting HULK slapped.
at this point you can't even blame the scammers in this "industry"... if these people don't get scammed by them, they will be scammed by someone else, it just feels like they're looking to get scammed xd
Lots of people out there infected with post-cryptocurrency FOMO and no desire to understand what they're buying, just lust for money.
Yeah, Josh has talked about the intentional grammatical errors in the Nigerian email scam before, if my memory serves me right
"A fool and his money are soon parted"
Earth 2 is so 2021. Just wait till NFTs of NFTs take off, Earth 3 is where it's at. Maxed out 2 metacredit cards, 250 metajob applications and no interview. Something good is on the way.
I’m hearing the phrase “what kind of dystopian future…” go around a lot
They're more like receipts than TCG, receipts that can be exchanged
"It's like the information superhighway, but without all the information!" - David Letterman
1:42 Hey, if he was the previous owner of OCZ in the domain that ends with a c, and an o, and an m (stupid link censors), then he should be doing pretty good for himself. They may be a legacy product now, but OCZ drives were huge like 5-10 years ago. Toshiba probably would have spent a pretty penny for that domain.
NFTs do have a use case, but the way people use them now are freaking stupid.
I was scrolling thru Shane's Twitter and found an E2er concerned about Essence not being listed as a token and questioned if it will no longer be a crypto. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they scrapped the crypto idea but I will LMAO if they turns out to be the case.
Also, they are infuriated by Shane freezing users bc he thought they were bots during this "essence staking"/validation process lol.
The pattern with E2 seems to be:
1-Promise something to excite the culti- I mean, "devoted customers"
2-Drag feet, swear that they're working hard at implementing the promised thing
3-Collect money for a few months/years
4-Throw something together in a week or so when people start to get upset
5-Return to step 1
I don't think the coin was scrapped so much as it was never going to be a thing. It seems incredibly easy to mint crypto-coin. There's no reason it's taking this long, other than the clear fact that they don't actually need to release a product to rake in unbelievable amounts of money.
Damn, I'm stressed for that guy. I wish he knew better.
A better comparison for the UK lads nft's are the new football player sticker booklets.
Hey Josh can you please clip that last bit into its own video? Or even make another quick video with a similar explanation of what the "metaverse" is? I need to share this with a few people who keep saying the word metaverse like it matters lol
6:10 - You described Tesla und Elons Musks Ideas
So it is like, you have not eaten since days... someone gets you a big juicy burger, puts it in front of you. Makes a picture of it, then shits in the burger and then burns it to dust. Then he gives you the picture of the burger. NFT-bros could survive on this picture of a burger? :D
Idk why suddenly after the explosion of crypto and nft people's greed just pop out of them. I see people are so desperate to "make it" chasing possibly materialistic things, some even went all out full of debt. I'm glad I don't have any debt, don't have the desire for multiple/huge properties, don't really care for a lambo. I'm enjoying life, go out fishing, spending time with family with no worries. life is great.
Yet they will jump at the first opportunity to call everyone else gullible and that they are going to make da phat bank.
Post-Modernism truly is art. You can't make this shit up.
Seems to me that the best use case for NFTs would be trading card games. I'd think that would be the obvious use case for NFTs.
Sports games been doing this forever. And the best part is, they MAKE you buy the same players all over again in the new game because the cards aren't transferrable and stats change.
Billion dollar a year industry.
@@James_Bee yeah, its a scam for dumb people also. Everyone hates FIFA for this.
@@James_Bee That would be the difference and capabilities with NFTs because they could be transferable between games. Stats do change, with reprints. Reprints are not that same as originals, a reprint can make an original more valuable or less valuable. Most trading card games have different formats that allow different kinds of cards. What they have been doing is not what the blockchain could mean for game collectables, and them being capable of being cross format. The problem is them trying to use the blockchain for micro transactions rather than game features and tracking collectables a player has earned in games. If everything didn't need to be profit driven, things could be different.
@@James_Bee The difference here is that sports games are more than just the trading card aspect.
NFTs and other blockchain based systems only maintain their purpose, promises, and functionality as long as 100% of the operations are strictly on chain and nowhere else. This technology is by design and mathematical definition incapable of interfacing with anything outside of it while also staying secure, because the second they try, they run into the oracle problem with data validation.
Small side note: ORACLE NETWORKS ARE NOT SOLUTIONS TO THIS. THEY ARE SNAKE OIL. THE ORACLE PROBLEM IS UNSOLVABLE BY DEFINITION. All they do is decrease chances of failure, not actually solve the problem.
Anyways, at best a sports game that uses this technology would just be a 100% separable game that promises to use data from a specific chain -> at this point in time
@@xblvr-nz9qf Problem with NFTs is, there is nothing they can do which isn't done just as easily by already-existing systems.
Say you have an NFT of a card, and it can be cross-format with a different game. The developer of the other game still has to specifically code that card into the game, decide what its stats should be compared to the original game, decide how it should be balanced and so on.
One might say owning an NFT of a card could protect you from ever losing it, which is technically true. Nobody can take that NFT away from you. But the developers can just choose to ignore your NFT in the game, making your NFT entirely worthless.
For tracking collectables, there are already many solutions that don't involve NFTs. The best example of this is the game Team Fortress 2. There are tens of thousands of unique cosmetics and weapons that are tied to their owner's accounts, with that item being the only one of its kind in existence. The owner can freely trade these items to other accounts (and in fact, trading like that is a huge part of why many people play TF2!)
There is one use case I can think of where an NFT might have an advantage: if the original company shuts down, and their databases are the only ones containing the item. With a standard database, without any precautions, that item is gone. With an NFT, that item would still remain in your wallet. However, to my knowledge, NFTs generally contain a reference to somewhere external rather than the data itself, so NFTs are not immune to this problem either. Furthermore, taking precautions such as backups across games/companies can mitigate this issue without requiring the use of NFTs.
Josh is talking about "Manifestation", women inline love that atupid shit!
"Manifest" your dreams, don't work for it, just believe hard enough.
I feel bad for the people that think earth 2 is a good idea or a good "Game". i gotta agree with Callum, I've never made fun of someone's income or anything, but Callum couldn't of said it any better "earth 2 is going phenomenally. Web3 is doing fantastically to the point, this guy's maxed out 2 credit cards, can't get a job, & owns TEN, 3-letter domain names." telling a bunch of people they're not gonna make it but you're sat there in crippling debt, job hunting trying to buy a new laptop but he swears something good is coming?. nah that's called copium.
In fact, that belongs in the dictionary definition of copium, holy shit!
Callum isn't making fun of his situation at all, so it's not even a "I wouldn't make fun of this, but [insert making fun of it]."
He is pointing out how absolutely deluded this guy is. He is in serious financial trouble, and he can't see that he is there because he is completely mismanaging what he has, and doesn't seem to apply to jobs that he can realistically get. All in the hopes that he can recruit a new sucker into his MLM scheme.
@@OWnIshiiTrolling i wasn't trying to say callum was making fun of him or the situation, i was using what callum said "im not one to make fun of somebody's financial situation but if >" So i can understand the cofusion but that's not what i was saying or implying. Clearly you didn't read my whole comment.
@@TheGoobMeista I did, and what I meant by my comment is that usually "I'm not making fun of X, but" is followed by making fun of X. Callum doesn't do that, so we agree.
I remember in the very early days of the internet that you could get a free domain name. Well, more like installing an extension in your browser, then registering a subdomain and link through with the website behind it and it would offer over 100 new domain extensions. Think getting a "domain" for a Geocities page.
It worked, for those who had the extension. Then it got shut down. Guess free doesn't pays.
The thing with NFT domains is that there is NO OFFICIAL NFT EXTENSION.
So the only way to use it would be to install something in a browser????
Even that stupid .eth is more useful. Even if 99% of the people don't know what it means.
Why does a painting have more value than the paint, canvas and energy spent being painted? Because it's real. You can touch it. Walk to it, look at it. It'll evoke an entire library of emotions.
NFTs only evoke delusions, anger and despair.
minor sidenote - so does digital art, because it too is real... because an artist has put a lot of work into making it real (and watching one of them work is honestly wonderous)
What you're saying about NFTs sound like how I understood crypto before it boom'd. I didn't expect it to boom. I wish big brain Josh can explain crypto to me in case I'm wrong. >->
The only reason NFTs and crypto have value, is because people say and think they have value.
In the terms of Crypto, in most cases, the people who are talking about why you should get in, profit off you coming in due to it raising the hype and thus profit of the currency. So it feeds into itself until the bubble burst and not enough people are putting money in by trading or minting these currencies, and the price plummets.
@@PokeBattlerJaze yea both sounds like speculation market gaming and I recall taht shit is THE BIG GAMBEL :x
@@blazearmoru Exactly.
@@PokeBattlerJaze In short: pyramid schemes.
@@Lenariet Effectively.
I feel kind of bad for this guy, but he definitely did it to himself.
Might be someone who was already down on his luck and was promised the world. If I were sad and morally bankrupt enough to shill NFTs, I would target people like that, because they are vulnerable.
They’re selling land in a video game that hasn’t been made yet. And people are spending thousands…? Wtf! How do stupid people have so much money?
Why won't these videos play anymore!? AARRRRRRGGG!!!
When people hear "metaverse" they think that sci-fy show Caprica when it's more like a 80's arcade.
A lot of people these days cannot separate fiction and reality, you can have the nft i'll take the diamond, one is physical and has practical value or use, the other is mental and only has the value others place on it.
A picture of a fire won't keep you warm, it will just remind you what you used to have.
Everything's value is what we place on it. But like you said, a picture of a diamond is useless..
"Orkz 'ave reel teef, not need NFT o' new economy"
Here i am trying to scrap together my pennies to buy my first house/apartment probably around my 40's, and these dunces are spending wages on "make pretend" trading cards that don't even exist.... *sigh*
To be fair, I've made some well timed investments in NFTs and crypto, sold, and am pretty secure for the foreseeable future, not the story for most, and not something I advise people to get into.
2 credit cards that'll take 2 months to pay off? What are they £500 limit each? Must have an awesome credit score.
Not anymore :D
NFTs Bros are a breakaway faction, and consensus block, of the Virtual Adepts from Mage the Ascension.
Prove me wrong Josh and Callum.
"was this Arya?" LMFAO
NFTs = selling receipts of IOUs
Every single offline RPG is also a metaverse, I own land in both Morrowind and Skyrim and mod the crap out of them. It's just private property right? xD
You can’t live in or wear an NFT……….NFTs are the one of the saddest scams around.
Is it just me or does Callum's mic sound a little crispy?
idk if josh did that on purpose but OCZ is a computer brand name lol
So, it is the stockmarket all over again?
Hey.. At least the guy has a positive attitude! 👍
Them talking about the guy just reminds me when I look at data and It makes zero sense in the context of a regular person
Something good is on the way.
mental gymnastics are a hellva of a drug
The woman with the diamond is actually onto something, even if she doesn't know it.
The diamond, just like NFTs has no real life value and its just a scheme by the rich to take advantage of the poor (the miners that get them out of the ground) and more stupid rich people for something that looks nice. But realistically can't do anything worthwhile.
She just got it in reverse diamond=NFT but she doesn't realize that they are both worthless, rather than valuable.
*I know diamonds actually have a use, but 99% of transactions that include diamonds don't lead into anything productive. To the average person they are useless
Actually, most diamond transactions (by volume) go towards useful applications; It's because gem-grade diamonds are less common.
When your life is worthless, and there are no prospects of improvement, you will grab on to anything which offers hope, regardless of how batshit insane any of it is.
I'm also always amused by the libertarian belief that you can get rid of government, but retain property.
I mean you could retain your property, you just might need a bunch of guns to do it.
how did we get here
Oh OCZ. Best RAM in mid-2000s.
Problem with pyramid scheme is that eventually you run out of investors[losers] to pay more money.
maxed out two cards.... needs to put out job applications... but only 2 months to pay the cards off?
hella optimist or maybe his credit limit is lower than mine. 🤷
