Just heard the news they are going offline to rebuild it."

> **Visual Note:** A TradingView chart displays the SAND/TetherUS Perpetual Contract on Binance, with a 4-hour view (top) showing a descending trendline approaching the ~$0.0411 resistance zone, and a 1-hour view (bottom) highlighting consolidation around $0.0414–$0.0416 amid low trading activity in early August 2025—suggesting SAND may be quietly coiling for a potential move despite being overlooked.

> **Visual Note:** A vibrant neon-lit cityscape with people wearing VR headsets appears on a stock or trading platform, and the Ethereum logo glows on the right with a TV screen showing a scene featuring it. The image illustrates the metaverse concept referenced in the post—comparing The 100's "City of Light" to blockchain-based virtual worlds like Decentraland (MANA), The Sandbox (SAND), and Axie Infinity (AXS), with Enjin.

> "Watching The 100, the "City of Light" that appears before you actually brings to mind a very familiar idea: the promise of a flawless digital world.

There was once a crypto version of this promise.
Projects like Decentraland (MANA), The Sandbox (SAND), Axie Infinity (AXS), Enjin"

> **Video Content:** The video shows a man in a striped shirt, likely Joey from the TV show Friends, making a facial expression of skepticism or judgment as he points his finger, then taps his temple, suggesting the metaverse narrative described in the post is a questionable idea. No on-screen text, tickers, or numbers appear in the clip itself, but the accompanying post discusses the declining state of major metaverse platforms like Meta's Horizon Worlds, Roblox, The Sandbox, and Decentraland. The man's dismissive gesture visually reinforces the post's message about the metaverse struggling to maintain relevance and value.  

> 
> "The Metaverse narrative  
isn't going through its best moment...

 Meta turns off the lights of its metaverse forever: Horizon Worlds ceases to exist.
