It seems the frenzy for real estate using silicon-based life forms is about to come.
I’ve always thought that if you wanted to use top-tier GPUs from NVIDIA—costing as much as $500,000—then you’d have to pay in full upfront.
But in fact, a new way of buying GPUs has emerged: members of research teams from top institutions such as Stanford and New York University have developed GPU purchasing methods for running cancer research and training specialized models.
With traditional cloud services, you can’t reliably forecast the budget because pricing fluctuates; also, it’s not very safe when your data is sent outside. Buying outright is even more expensive—plus you still have to find a data center yourself, handle hosting and maintenance, and the extra costs add up.
They choose B3IQ (@b3labs) to enable installment purchases, renting out idle capacity, and using earnings to offset the cost.
By purchasing dedicated NVIDIA GPU servers in installments and having the machines hosted in U.S. data centers where someone else manages the operations, the team retains full control over their data and models. And when compute resources are idle, they can be rented out as well—the resulting revenue directly offsets the machine purchase payment.
After doing the math, it feels a lot like buying property.
If you need it, you use it; if you don’t, you rent it out. It probably won’t be long before a new wave of “landlords” in this era emerges.
Three ancient projects @MetaMask, @opensea, @Polymarket
What they have in common: the attempted listing gets hit and fails, then they come back to announce their own token, and later restart the PUA cycle. If your own niche isn’t being developed properly, you shouldn’t insist on doing things you’re not good at. In the end, it turns into a “four-not-quite”....
Opensea was founded in 2018, with its main track being NFTs. In Oct 2025, it announced $SEA, then went live on a DEX to launch the Odyssey. The number of team members who have left exceeds 20!!
Polymarket was founded in 2020, with its main track being prediction markets. In May 2026, it hinted at $POLY Soon; in Apr 2026, it launched Perp. The number of team members who have left exceeds 15.
Metamask was founded in 2016, with its main track being wallets. In Oct 2025, it confirmed $MetaMask, then launched a points reward program. The wallet includes a built-in cross-chain bridge, DEX, Perp... The number of team members who have left exceeds 9.
Because of that “Odyssey” airdrop event Arbitrum did before—it was just way too shady.
So now when you tell me about “Odyssey,” I can’t connect it to anything at all: For example, philosophical epic questions like “How should one go home?” “How to cross a low point,”
I can only pre-assume and recall: “Slaves,” “anti-piracy”...
Scrolled on Twitter and found a phenomenon: the ones who make money are always the same few. Since 2024, every time I see it, they’re making tens of thousands of u, hundreds of thousands of u—sometimes even several million u. It’s been two to three years, so why haven’t they achieved financial freedom yet? Actually, if you exclude those few always-profiting people, then for this round of market action, most others are losing money. Don’t feel anxious. Twitter is a place that sells anxiety and empty fantasies of getting rich. Anyway, from August to now, I’ve only made a few trades and earned just a couple thousand u. The main mistake was constantly holding onto new-IPO/brand-new hype hotspots. This month so far, basically more than 80% have just been rallying last month’s positions. I didn’t get the timing right.
Making money from data: Nansen’s founder says Bitcoin will never fall below $60,000; the founder of Equation says Bitcoin will drop to $40,000—who do you believe?
I’m a little older, my younger brother is 23 this year. I asked him why he doesn’t date anyone. He said he wants to marry a virgin. He said he can’t find one, and asked me how to find one. I thought about it for a long time and didn’t know how to answer.
After all, trying to find a virgin to marry nowadays is as difficult as taking the postgraduate entrance exam.
I asked him why he’s so stubborn about marrying a virgin. He said that now, women getting married also want a house and a car, and on top of that they demand expensive bride price. If she isn’t a virgin, he feels like he’s at a loss. But if she is a virgin, he thinks no matter how much money he spends, it’s worth it. If she isn’t a virgin, he doesn’t even want to pay a penny in bride price.
If you run into someone with a “virgin preference” mindset, you truly can’t communicate with them at all.
