My friends, in 1980 I was 17 years old and I became one of the original reaganites. I was nearly fanatically opposed to the Carter debacles. A voter registration bus was parked outside a shopping mall, I went inside and registered at 17 years old. I then voted for Reagan and I was 17 years old. I joined the army at 18 years old. And whenever Reagan spoke I nearly stood at attention. I love that man..

Metaverse is nothing new but something new at the same time, it seems. Hopefully, the tech will enhance the game experiences. I'm hoping that a project called Ertha on BSC will add something new to the game world.
