I started a VR startup around the beginning of the first hype cycle. It’s crazy to watch another VR hype cycle start when there really isn’t a lot of new technology in the space since the last hype cycle.

It’s still VR under the guise of a new name

ThE mETaVeRSe lol
They tried applying a million use cases - didn’t happen.

They tried increasing the quality of headsets - didn’t happen.

They discounted the headsets - didn’t happen.

The world shut down and no one could go outside - STILL DIDN’T HAPPEN
The reality is most people bought a headset, used it once and it’s sitting in the closet.

Everything that Zuck showed in the demo has been around, it’s really nothing new. (It’s actually funny how he is essentially claiming everything that has been developed as his own invention
Now, granted I have seen some great use cases.

VR is great as a pop-up/location based experience that business can charge for.

And it’s a great TV prop when shows want to make kids seem futuristic. Lol
It’s quite funny to see the VR prophets coming out of hiding and beginning to make the same claims they did before. But the truth is the people and the market have already spoken.

They just don’t want it.

Someone told me it's Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.

As someone who has struggled with depression, I thought I'd share some ways I've learned to work through it.

Thread 🧵:

#MensMentalHealthMonth #MensHealthMonth
1. Therapy Works

As a guy, we often don't feel open to unloading our thoughts and emotions on other people. My depression is usually caused by getting caught in a negative thought circle that I can't get myself out of. I've found simply speaking it out to someone really helps.
2. Basic 3

Whenever I realize I'm heading into a depressive state, I bring myself back to what I call the Basic 3.

Sleep
Diet
Exercise

There has yet to be a time when I'm depressed and not lacking on one or more of these. I put aside everything else and start here.

A deep dive into these two companies proved to be interesting!

A Thread 🧵:
This article sparked my curiosity because there are many big claims including being "involved in the gamification, theory-crafting, league bonus and adoption cycle curves, distributed autonomous organization (DAO), and other strategic and governance planning of PulseChain."
I have yet to see Richard refute these claims, so until then I'll assume they're true.

So I decided to look into the companies to find out who they are and what they do.

#HEX has an absolutely incredible community. A community diverse in life experience, knowledge, creativity, and wealth. Maybe it was chance, but I believe it fate that we've all been brought together by an amazing platform, HEX, and its genius leader, Richard Heart.
Since its inception, HEX and its patriots have been under attack from the crypto world. As its success continues to grow and push through new boundaries, those attacks have only increased and the Hexicans have never backed down.
Although many hold the line, there are a few Hexicans who have fully devoted themselves to defending HEX and what it stands for since the beginning. To these few, we should all be grateful and recognize that HEX would not be where it is today without them.
