For this project, we want to encourage creativity and imagination, and mostly enjoyment in the creation of the narrative and the qualities that these stories and characters can bring.

We have created a simple main story-line, a canon, that will help us branch into multiple story-lines and link with other stories as side quests. Our vision is to create a space where we can track the main story, contribute to the creation of side quests, characters, and the visual landscapes of the story.

We have provided a brief introduction and overview of WanderingBotz’ story for this first phase and the beginning of the project.

Space is filled with explorers of all kinds. A well-known 3K-8 system is the home of many planets and moons, with wandering occupants looking for neighboring friends. It all started on Centurion planet, where Neva Boler class of robotz invented and manufactured a new class of Scout robots named Jazmi. These botz had the goal of wandering throughout space looking for new worlds.

Now, Jazmi botz are discontinued and outlawed, and a new class of scout botz has replaced them. Merrik botz, invented and manufactured by Nes Borand are now the major occupants of space, wandering around space, exploring new worlds. While the original inventor, Neva Boler, is still on the lookout for new technology, and their outlawed Jazmi botz are still roaming, exploring, and hiding.

In generation one, we created 12 characters, that will bring the main story to life, and also opportunity to imagine the WanderingBotz universe.

Some stories of these wandering botz are known, and some are unknown and mysterious. Each bot that lands on earth will deliver us a unique story, so we can understand them much better. So far, we have some idea of what these botz are, and why they are wandering throughout space.

Each character is created as a member of a specific class, each of which is allocated to a specific mission. However, in the story, many Bots have unique personalities that can change and influence the story, even if their main role is to complete specific tasks.

Planet Centurion, 3K-8 System

Originated on Planet Centurion of the 3K-8 System, the Merrik class belongs to the Scout class. The most common class of botz in universe. Merrik aka “Speedy” has the mission of searching for other inhabitable worlds. Merrik has the most similar habits and characteristics to a human and the ability to easily adapt to other planets.

Moon Fendorm, 3K-8 System

Originated in Moon Fendorm of the 3K-8 System, the Jazmi class also belongs to the Scout class. Jazmi class of botz are also scouts. Compared to the Merrik class, these are older classes of robotz. With difficulties in system errors and adaptability, these botz are discontinued. Now many of them are wandering around the galaxy, still trying to adapt to new planets.

Moon Veritus, 3K-8 System

Originated on the Moon Veritus of the 3K-8 System. There is no known information about this class yet.

Planet Centurion, 3K-8 System

Originated on Planet Centurion of the 3K-8 System, the Automata class belongs to the Scout Admin class. The Automata class is responsible for analyzing data gathered from various scouts. Sometimes, accompanying scouts and inspecting the new-found worlds. The data they analyze is used for galaxy and planet resources mapping, and organizing ranks among planets.

Planet Centurion, 3K-8 System

Originated on Planet Centurion of the 3K-8 System, the Rosa class belongs to the research and healthcare class. The main botz to collect and analyze biomes and technology from new worlds. Also, working as a healthcare and repair bot.

Planet Centurion, 3K-8 System

Originated on Planet Centurion of the 3K-8 System, the Paragon class belongs to the security and inspection class. Paragon botz are responsible for security and inspections of botz. This class has found errors in the Jazmi class botz and is responsible for their discontinuation.

Planet Centurion, 3K-8 System

Originated on Planet Centurion of the 3K-8 System, the Adi-Koth Tiplar class belongs to the military class. Adi-Koth Tiplar is made for protection and security on the new planets. These botz are working close to the Automata and Rosa classes in order not to use force on unexplored and safe environments.

Planet Centurion, 3K-8 System

Originated on Planet Centurion of the 3K-8 System, the Nes Borand class belongs to the scientific class. Nes Borand is a key scientist for the 3K-8 System. Many of the classes are their creations, and they have a reputation for inventing the best botz. Nes Borand was elevated as the most advanced scientist after the downfall of Neva Boler creations. They are the ones that want to share technology with new worlds and help them with advanced systems and technology.

Planet Centurion, 3K-8 System

Originated on Planet Centurion of the 3K-8 System, the Nes Enduro class belongs to the engineering class. Nes Enduro is a Nes Borand scientist’s right hand. This class is operating both as an engineer, for testing, and as a manufacturing bot.

Moon Fendorm, 3K-8 System

Originated on the Moon Fendorm of the 3K-8 System, the Nes Borand class belongs to the scientific class. Neva Boler class is the scientist of Fendorm moon. The original creators of the generation one Jazmi botz. With discontinuation of their botz, they are now keen on creating their next generation of botz and technology. It is suspected that the Midas class is their testing bot.

Moon Fendorm, 3K-8 System

Originated on the Moon Fendorm of the 3K-8 System, the Nes Borand class belongs to the engineering class. AP Reverin was invented by Neva Bolero and was an advanced prototype used for research and later as a manufacturing and engineering bot. AP Reverin is a class that is also responsible for introducing the major errors in the Jazmi class. They are still working and testing solutions for the Jazmi class, with the hope of creating an advanced generation two.

Moon Dione, Solar System

Originated on the Moon Dione of the Solar System. There is not much information about this class yet. Except they were found by Jazmi robotz on the Saturn moon of Dione.

As the story goes on, many more exciting characters will be introduced and brought into the main story-line. The following are some of the more well-known characters:

Adi-Koth Primus, Adi-Koth Legion, Adi-Koth Cohort, Adi-Koth Angus, Alka, Magdun, Kiros, Jezero, Lyrid, Eta, Luna, Sturgeon, Tugh, Bo Lorica, Bo Dada, Bo Calder, Bo Mondi, Embod, Azra, Karta, Mos Parka, Mos Farina, Germid, Solistis, Ken Zeveryn, Ken Prada, Danuby, Varina, Parasant, Nes Gerad, Nes Baledin, Nes Bron, Nes Alderon, Pascal, Nilzeth, AP Pugio, AP Neumem, AP Endor, Pila, Mikeron, Lun Framus, Lun Gothu, Var Iluminar, Var Ister, Pilus, Degeer, Zet Vermath, Zet Hoth, Balubab, Ord Morth, Ord Bolter, Lurmen, Nando, Tremor, Snood, Tadao, Mandano, and many more to come.

As this is creative hub for many creators and writers, we would like to see if you are interested in contributing to the stories and joining us on this exciting journey. There is no rules, just an imaginative and playful approach to this universe.

Oh yeah, three prime assets. Already mentioned them; effort/skill, time and stored value. These are pretty much the variables in the human equation. The one thing we all seem to agree on is that our time is valuable, probably because our entire existence is defined by the inescapable knowledge that it will eventually come to an end. Since our time is limited, non-fungible and constantly experienced and spent whether we would like it to be or not, we tend to value our time based on the manner and environment in which we experience its passing, another subjective assignment of value.

Stored value can come in any number of arbitrary forms, but we tend to assign value to things which enhance our experience of time. Entertainment, our favorite foods, art, these are all things which enhance our subjective human experience and we collectively have assigned value to them. But being the fickle creatures that we are, our preferences for spending time changes often and with it, our estimation of the value of an object or experience changes too.

We’ve collectively decided to invent money because our collective delusion of it becomes a convenient method for exchanging value as mentioned in the last article. The reason it functions to store value is because we’ve created so many liquid markets for it that we are able to trust our money to be worth exchanging for.

Money is only as useful to store value as it is easy to exchange for assigned value. It is only as easy to exchange for assigned value as it is useful for storing value. And thus, the collective delusion.

So now we’ve established that the easiest way to measure how well a Thing Stores Value is whether people are consistently willing to exchange other assigned value for it. Money is worth owning because it’s easy to trade it for something you value. It’s easy to trade for something you value because it is worth owning.

Skill is a lever. If you have a skill which people value, you are able to spend less of your time in exchange for more money (or other form of value). Note that this has absolutely nothing to do with the difficulty of your skill, or the amount of effort required; only whether others are willing to give you something for it.

Skill is measured in value just like anything else; how much does it exchange for? To put it in 21st century terms; what’s the hourly rate? Just like any other market, that rate of exchange will be determined by supply and demand. Not measured by the difficulty of providing or acquiring it, only how much demand there is relative to the supply of that skill.

All the time. You’re trading time reading this article for the chance to learn something and increase your skill, or perhaps because you prefer to experience your time by reading the ramblings of a schizophrenic smiley face on the internet. Either way, you have assigned enough value to the contents of this article that it is worth spending your time on. Let’s unpack the implications of that.

This article did not exist until I used my time (and arguably very little skill) to create it. I used a computer, a keyboard, an internet connection, this website, etc. All of which had to be conceptualized, constructed, maintained and all of which are agreed to have some value attached. This value did not come from an inherent quality of the materials used or their construction, this value was created. And upon creation, value was assigned to each of these things because enough people decided that these things enhance their lives, their time. Markets for these things were created, exchanges occurred and new value was added to the world.

But for new value to be created requires risk. The risk of lost time, wasted skill and resources in exchange for no value, no perceived enhancement to anyone’s life. Risk is uncomfortable and most would consider exposure to risk to be a negative effect on their experience of time. Often if a risk is known to exist, we will pay to avoid experiencing it. We have only to look as far as any sort of insurance policy to see this in action; we pay a regular premium to avoid the risk of suddenly having to pay a car repair bill. We exchange our skill and time with an employer for less than the value they generate in order to shield us from the risk of fluctuation in value for our skill. We talk ourselves out of decisions such as going back to school, taking a new job or trying a new restaurant because we don’t want to allow the uncomfortable possibility of regret.

And so we create the risk premium; those who go to school for the skill have fewer competitors and are able to charge a premium for their time. The person changing jobs can negotiate for better compensation with fewer qualified competing applicants. The new restaurant popping up is forced to provide an even better dining experience to attract customers, rewarding them for their curiosity. Value has been assigned to risk, which means that skillful risk-taking has perhaps more value-accretive potential than any other use of time.

Foundation of thought: markets are opinions about the value of both the asset and denominator, but both are measured arbitrarily by the degree to which they improve our experience of time. Comfort is consistently valued, risk reduces comfort and therefore the assumption of risk becomes a valuable service.

Now that we’ve tied it all together, we finally have a mental framework for how to think about markets as a concept. From here, we can build frameworks of thought about how to profit from them, but not before. In the same way that a child’s decision-making improves with his understanding of the world around him, we must understand the nature of markets before we can hope to participate wisely in them.

After another month of being ‘Orange Pilled’, together with reader feedback, I’ve compiled another solid list of crypto experts, providing impartial knowledge, who you can learn from and make informed investment decisions.

Guy is the host of Coin Bureau a YouTube channel, Website, Podcast, Telegram channel, Twitter account etc……which pumps out high-quality crypto content daily. He fell down the crypto rabbit hole in 2013 when he discovered that his local pub was accepting payments in Bitcoin. This, together with the near collapse of the British financial system in 2008, piqued his interest in crypto and he decided to start a blog with two friends.

Their main aim was to provide educational content for their audiences and they’ve never failed to deliver on this promise. Furthermore, he is transparent about his holdings and backs up all his claims with relevant links to supporting information.

Albert Einstein once said:

The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple

That’s exactly what the team at Coin Bureau do. Every day they summarise large volumes of credible information for Guy to present in a format that is so easy to understand, even my mother could start investing in crypto.

Topics include:

He also stresses, that unless you work in the crypto space, it’s probably going to be physically impossible for the average investor to keep up with all this information as it changes in the blink of an eye.

He’s good because he summarizes the latest news, research and crypto reports so you don’t have to — A great time saver for the busy investor.

MicroStrategy is an American company that provides business intelligence mobile software, and cloud-based services.

On a MicroStrategy quarterly earnings conference call in July 2020, Saylor announced his intention for MicroStrategy to explore purchasing Bitcoin, gold, or other alternative assets instead of holding cash. The following month, MicroStrategy used $250 million from its cash stockpile to purchase 21,454 Bitcoin

..and he hasn’t stopped buying ever since. As of Dec’21 their Bitcoin stockpile sits at 124,391.

It takes balls to seek approval from your board of investors to invest their excess cash into a highly volatile asset with no guarantee of returns. Yet somehow his risk paid off and MicroStrategy now holds over $1 billion worth of Bitcoin on their balance sheet. One of the first companies to ever do so.

He’s good because he’s normalising holding Bitcoin on the balance sheet instead of excess cash reserves which bring in zero or negative returns. Maybe this will pave the way for other companies to do the same, which in turn may increase the price of Bitcoin. Apple and Facebook have some of the biggest cash reserves on the planet and are yet to follow suit. Only time will tell.

But as one reader rightly so pointed out, Saylor has a personal stake of 17,732 Bitcoins — I’ll let you do the maths on that one in terms of his $ holdings. He’s always out there doing the YouTube and Podcast rounds promoting Bitcoin. Not sure whether it’s for personal or professional purposes but I guess it shows how much he believes in the power of Bitcoin.

Even if we put all of the above achievements aside I have to acknowledge the fact that he is the founder of the Saylor Academy:

..a nonprofit initiative working since 2008 to offer free and open online courses to all who want to learn. They offer nearly 100 full-length courses at college and professional levels, each built by subject matter experts. All courses are available to complete — at your pace, on your schedule, and free of cost.

Courses vary from learning English to computer science, there’s even an economics course taught by Saifedean Ammous (who made it on my list in Part 1) and obviously courses on crypto. Furthermore, some courses offer college credit transfers for free.

If this is what Bitcoin profits can be filtered into, then I’m all for it.

Host of the What Bitcoin Did podcast started in 2017, Peter boasts an impressive guest list. From the Mayor of Miami to the President of El Salvador, who has adopted Bitcoin as legal tender for his people, he greets each guest with a child-like curiosity. This makes for some entertaining listening, irrespective of whether you’re a beginner or a Bitcoin evangelist.

In an interview with CoinTelegraph Magazine, he first used Bitcoin to buy drugs via mail order from Silk Road, scanning the reviews for high-quality gear. After ending up in the hospital from a drug overdose, he decided to clean up his act and ploughed £23,000 into Bitcoin in 2016. After watching Bitcoin reach all time highs he knew he was onto something and wanted to learn more.

The What Bitcoin Did podcast was started;

…to get answers to the questions Peter was struggling with, to make a show for himself, which hopefully would help others. Many people want to get involved with Bitcoin but are not technically proficient and may not understand economics to the level of some of the experts in the space.

He’s good because he’s inquisitive about crypto and not afraid to ask stupid questions. His audience learns as he learns through having informative conversations with his guests.

Previous topics of the What Bitcoin Did podcast include:

After coming out of the crypto rabbit hole the first time around I noticed that most of the experts I was learning from were males. There’s nothing wrong with that, as I value what all these guys are doing in the crypto space and their humble approach to getting this knowledge out there. But once in a while, it’s great to see a fellow female in the mix too.

Hence my excitement when I found out about the wonderful Lyn Alden, founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy. According to her website, she is an investor, engineer and writer, with a focus on financial modelling and engineering economics. Her educational background is in management and engineering, having graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor’s in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) and from Rowan University with a Master’s in Engineering Management (2015)

She’s a walking encyclopedia on all things finance and produces analysis not only in the Crypto space but also in Macroeconomics and personal finance.

Lyn has built her wealth from the ground up. Unlike many of us who were fortunate to have a roof over our heads during childhood, Lyn was homeless and grew up in extreme poverty.

She educated herself and focused on changing her situation. But just when she was getting back on her feet her mother became ill. The combination of a great income from engineering and finance, side hustles, a minimalist lifestyle and consistent investing allowed her to build wealth while continuing to support her mother.

She’s good because not only does she advise institutional investors but she also has free resources for beginners. Her weekly newsletter provides valuable updates on market news and research.

Lyn is living proof that you can get out of poverty and set yourself up for a better life if you keep persisting. It’s not going to be easy but there is always a way and what better to person to learn from?

Never, ever, ever invest in something you don’t understand. I have spoken to many of these ‘so-called’ traders and they don’t understand the fundamentals of what they are investing in. This can sometimes be a good thing to avoid analysis paralysis but most of the time it leads to pain.

Although no one can accurately predict price movements, not even Plan B, these experts do say that the crypto market still has a long way to go — it’s only the beginning. Do your research, have an open mind and being to learn what you are investing in and why.

My crypto journey has only just begun. Let me know how yours is going and best of luck!

Anyone can mint their NFMe ID on the Itheum platform and truly own it as an NFT. Additionally, it’s built in such a way that it allows for users to add or create data subsets within itself to ensure it’s as unique to the owner as possible.

Simply put, our team believes that each human is unique — the NFMe ID “digital avatar” idea and theme are a new way to take personal data ownership to the next level within the metaverse.

The NFMe ID is based on the concept of non-fungible tokens, but on a different scale. But how exactly is this?

While NFTs can be exchanged fully, NFMe IDs can only be “leased out” to other parties while still always belonging to the owner. For this reason, they are considered ‘soulbound’ tokens.

When “leased out”, the other party can access your personal data — in this manner, the NFMe ID acts as an “authorization key” that allows third parties to use your data in a fair way to generate a shared value between the third party and the owner of the data.

With Itheum being the world’s first decentralized data brokerage, exploring our data metaverse opens up various opportunities for interaction and exchanging data with other NFMe avatars. Additionally, users can trade various accessories and evolution traits to immerse themselves in an even more personalized experience.

Our NFMe ID allows participants to participate in the governance of data through Data Coalition DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). These DAOs allow for bulk control, curation, trade, and protection of personal data.

Additionally, users can delegate access rights to “subsets of data” (Data NFTs) linked to their NFMe IDs to the Data Coalition DAOs, which can then be exchanged on their behalf. This allows for the Data Coalition DAOs to fully leverage the user’s data as part of a group dataset, as grouped data tends to be more valuable compared to an individual dataset.

Data NFTs, which are subsets of NFMe IDs, allow users to segregate data from a specific application. Therefore, these Data NFTs are linked to the individual NFMe ID and can be traded in other secondary NFT marketplaces, such as Opensea.

In essence, this is an extension of utility across different blockchain platforms and ecosystems, presenting a much more powerful use case across the board.

Itheum’s NFMe IDs will be built in such a way that they are interoperable with other blockchains making them suitable for use in other metaverses, ecosystems, and virtual worlds. This means that in the future, you will be able to port your NFMe ID to other metaverse applications, both in the Web2 and Web3 worlds — examples include Meta, Decentraland, and The Sandbox, among others.

This interoperability of NFMe IDs ensures that they can interact with various digital assets, hence solidly positioning Itheum (and more specifically NFMe IDs) at the center of the metaverse’s future.

NFMe IDs are at the core of transforming data ownership and exchange, both on and off-chain. With the aforementioned capabilities and components, NFMe IDs open up a world of opportunities for users to participate in the metaverse using a personalized avatar that accurately represents their data.

The end goal of these NFMe IDs is to have them grow to a point where they are the digital avatars for every human on earth across various metaverse platforms — we’re unlocking real-world value in the digital realm, one step at a time.

Itheum empowers data ownership in the Web3 and Metaverse ecosystems and creates new market value for your data. It enables this by providing “decentralized data brokerage” technology. It’s a suite of tools that enable high-value data to be bridged from web2 to web3 and then be traded via peer-to-peer sales. It allows for “viral adoption” via our creative “Data NFTs” (provide “inner value” to NFTs and enable royalties / limited supply) and “NFMe ID” technology (a living Metaverse avatar representation of you — wrapped as an NFT and backed by personal data) and our innovative Data Coalition DAOs (which bulk trades your data). It also aims to be fully privacy-preserving, regulation-friendly and cross-chain; making it the most comprehensive core blockchain data infrastructure available in the market with use-cases in both the enterprise and retail space.
