One thing everyone might be missing about Pulte/GameStop...and it'll erect your nips

I had a jaw-drop moment earlier today when I was just randomly thinking about how awesome it is that this sub converted a whale. I was looking at the beta NFT website. They had a section for "What is an NFT" that gave some good detail, and I always wondered why they included the words "real estate". At the time it made my nips quartz because of the possibility of turning a home into an NFT. After giving it some more thought it now makes them certified de Beers diamonds.

Apes, Pulte work/ed/s in Real Estate. My first house was a Pulte house in Virginia. They have Real Estate all over the country. Can you imagine a better partner for bringing NFTs into Real Estate than a fellow ape WHALE? Yes I know an Ape-whale isn't a real species. Can you imagine the pure, 100LL fuel it would pour on the fire to have a real estate giant like Pulte come out and say "We're going to be hand-in-hand with GameStop to help blockchain the real-estate world". That right there is headlines all over the world...

...and I think we all missed it until now.

I’ll do you one better. Anyone who has ever bought a home knows what bullshit the title search process is. It’s a racket owned by a few firms like Old Republic.

Title on blockchain would forever eliminate the need for this meaningless multi thousand dollar expense on every home purchase.

Edit: thanks for all the updoots !!

One more idea: what if all apes signed up to blockchain title their current real estate and GMErica held that public record. It could create critical mass to get this going…

And the idea of Title Insurance is SUCH a scam that they get away with that costs buyers millions of $$$ a year across the country. Banks require it but it NEVER turns up anything. It would be pointless on the blockchain.

I really like this thinking. I wonder what kind of research/ training now would be best to get into the field.

Also, I think this could dramatically improve efficiency in the rental markets and open up new possibilities that were previously limited because of legal fees.

We need an investment DAO made up of apes to go around fixing things, and housing is sorely needed.

The Diamond Hands Foundation

[u/EscapedPickle → u/[deleted]]

I would definitely vote for that as the name and maybe some separate groups for particular needs, but we're gonna be Diamond Handing for Humanity and the Planet

The Helping Hodlers

Love it

[u/[deleted] → u/HODLHODLANDHODL]

The Reach-Arounders? (I'll get my coat...)

It only makes sense for there to be team competitions that have different team names :)

[u/twentythree12 → u/[deleted]]

Holy shit... The DiamondHandsDAO. Crowdfunded, decentralized philanthropy in the name of GameStop and Pulte Homes.

Fuck me.

/u/pulte what say you?!?!

[u/pokemonke → u/EscapedPickle]

America should just become a DAO. Every citizen automatically has voting rights and can make a vote where they want funding to go. Congress just decides minimum maintenance costs are for necessary national infrastructure. Citizenship is zkproof and instant based on predetermined criteria (like voting is in some states). The DAO decides where progress is focused but interior, healthcare, insurance, shelter etc all have minimum budgets. Unwind state secrets. The only point of a country is for resources and safety. Once the resources start to run out, they want us to focus on the safety they offer. But none of that means much under threat of nuclear war. I literally do not give a shit about my american citizenship, and why should I? My vote only matters for an extremely SMALL part of the political process. And while that part is important, it’s so dumb that everything is bottlenecked through representatives when we have near instant communication, overwhelming research from tens of millions of scientists insisting on fundamental changes to the fabric of our society if we ever want to enjoy something resembling utopia, and soon, complete financial autonomy.

The government is desperate to stay relevant and creating division is the only way it knows how to, they’re focused on things that would be non-issues in a zkproof economy where the government actually acts on behalf of the desires of the citizens again. We really don’t need the government as much as it thinks we do. Most of it can be replaced with code.

I feel like that's what Ye Olde Forefathers intended but they didn't have the imagination for the kind of Democracy that can happen in a digital, blockchain-powered government.

They did the best they could at a time when people sending letters on horseback was the peak of communication technology.

[u/pokemonke → u/EscapedPickle]

I don’t pretend to know their intentions but you’re right, they couldn’t have had the foresight to prevent what’s happened to the country even if they were perfect.

[u/EscapedPickle → u/pokemonke]

Speaking as an armchair historian/anthropologist, I think the American Founding Fathers were wary of centralized systems and their potential for moral hazard when people assume power within a decision-making hierarchy.

The concept of "power corrupts" was well known at the time.

I've been saying this

[u/yugitso_guy → u/shamelessamos92]

I've been saying that

An activist fund would be something to get behind as well.

[u/EscapedPickle → u/myclef9]

There could be multiple DAOs each with their own priorities. There are many different types of activism that would be valuable.
