1 This is what it feels like to move from the extraction economy to the ownership economy

2 There's been plenty of talk about the "creator economy" which is about the interface between the digital symbolic layer and original creations

3 We are looking now at the economic multiverse. Do you all remember the "Sharing Economy?"

4 Guess what? The "Sharing Economy" was part of the extraction economy the whole time. People aren't "sharing" rides and homes because of any kind of love vibe.

5 Extraction economy is accelerated by AI bots. AI bots programmed to squeeze humans to increase revenues for tech giants. Facebook and Google are choking out organic traffic and are "levying taxes"

6 People and humanity are being squeezed out. This is why stories like "Pizza Man" hit so hard

7 And people are going from driving Taxis to driving @AxieInfinity Axies. #PlayToEarn #PlayToOwn through @YieldGuild @leah_cb @gabusch @Jihoz_Axie

8 So pretty much the "Sharing Economy" is just a two faced lie hiding the ugliness of more extraction. All that's happening is that megacorps are now squeezing value from YOUR assets.

9 Luckily we are now entering the realm of economic multiverses powered by blockchain-based open consensual and consensus realities.

10 This is why those driving Taxis should all join us in driving Axies. This is play-to-own. People will consent to join a multiverse economy that treats them fairly and as first class participants.
