Even before EVE Online, Second Life, Runescape and WoW gold farming, there was Entropia

It makes for a good case study wrt digital currencies, virtual land/assets and pegged assets

If you're building your P2E thesis, imo, this is a must if you want to do it seriously

Enjoy

caveat: i know runescape technically launched 2 years prior, but it took the economy there some time to develop whereas Entropia had an economic structure in place from the very early stages

Allow me to interrupt $BADGER's god candle, @KylieJenner photoshopped memes and various L1 shills on your timeline to talk about a cool, extremely-niche subject that's dear to my heart:

Lucid dreaming

In the course of everyday life, we rarely reflect on our global reality orientation and state of consciousness.
Even less do we question whether we are awake or not.

Ask yourself this question right this instant — "Am I dreaming right now?"

Some of you will not even bother to ask. Others will dismiss the question with an obvious 'of course I'm awake, duh' answer.

It's hard to truly question the nature of your reality sans an alternative
