'''Jason Lubell Itzler''', born '''Jason Lubell Sylk'''<ref>https://www.amny.com/news/policeblotter-13/</ref> (February 23, 1967) better known online as '''Mr. Based''', is an American live streamer and former founder of the illegal prostitution ring disguised as an escort agency, New York Confidential. Jason has [[List of Jason Itzlers Arrests & Encounters with the Law|spent time in prison]] for money laundering, drug charges (incl. trafficking), and prostitution.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/15/nyregion/so-called-king-of-all-pimps-gets-4-years.html</ref> He currently has warrants in a variety of states, including New York. Itzler has recently been charged with making a terroristic threat and two separate charges of criminal contempt stemming from an arrest at [[Durgy's Bar]] on April 11th, 2025.

Jason's current project is [[Josh Block|Joshua Block]]. Jason has set Josh up the streaming platform Parti, and has been streaming with Josh since mid-2024. In this time, Jason has filmed Josh extremely [[Alcoholism|intoxicated]], during [[Josh and Mental Health|mental health crises]], and general at the lowest points of his life. Before streaming with Josh, Jason's content consisted of sun gazing as well as filming IRL (in real life content) where he has assaulted fellow IRL streamers in the [https://communities.win/c/IP2Always IP2] community and has made several unwanted sexual advances on women, including discreetly recording women underneath their skirts.

== Background ==

=== Early Life ===
Jason Lubell Itzler was born February 23, 1967 as Jason Lubell Sylk and is the only son of Ronnie Lubell and Leonard Allen Sylk. Itzler is of [[wikipedia:Ashkenazi_Jews|Ashkenazi Jewish]] heritage. Following his parents’ divorce, Itzler moved to New York with his mother. Jason's mother remarried Ron Itzler, a lawyer in the firm of Fischbein, Badillo, Wagner, and Itzler, and so the family moved to the suburbs in New Jersey. Jason attended a number of private schools, including the Elisabeth Morrow School, the Dwight-Englewood School, the Hotchkiss School, and Tenafly High School. Jason spent many of his evenings at the New York Friars Club, and summers in the Catskills, where he worked as a cabana boy at the Concord Hotel. Jason graduated from The George Washington University with degrees in political science and art history.

=== Business and Criminal Activities ===
While in law school, he started a phone sex operation called M2 Communications, Inc., where he would charge $4.98-a-minute, and soon become a young millionaire. Jason continued to have a variety of sex businesses in the phone sex, webcam sex, and prostitution industries, and has claimed that his client list included high-profile celebrities.

In 2010, Jason Itzler shared an apartment with Zoltan Prepszent. While sharing the apartment, university-aged [[Death of Julia Sumnicht|Julia Sumnicht]] died of a GHB overdose in the apartment. No charges have been filed and onus of responsibility as well as what happened to Julia is widely speculative.

== History with Josh ==

=== Background ===
Before Josh Block met him, Mr. Based/Jason was working to establish himself as a streamer on Kick and content creator specializing in the sun-gazing space. Sun Gazers are people who believe there are benefits to staring directly at the sun. Mr. Based claims he had been informed of Josh by a friend and instructed on how to come in with contact with Josh.

=== Early Interactions with Josh ===
On July 8, 2023, during a live stream, Jason confronted Josh while the latter was [[Josh's Tour Business|conducting a tour]]. Upon introducing himself, Jason was rebuffed by Josh, who reportedly shouted "SCRAM, BITCH!" before instructing his tour guests to flee. The interaction lasted approximately one minute.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xe5n2YVQIQ</ref>

Approximately one week later, a second encounter occurred between the two. Jason attempted reconciliation by apologizing and offering friendship, prompting a similar reaction from Josh, who again demanded that Jason leave. Witnesses reported Josh shouting "Get him, get him!" while a tour guest to take action against Jason. The confrontation escalated when Josh threw a drink at Jason, who then pursued him. Josh subsequently fled into the street amid oncoming traffic, continuing to shout during the altercation.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROJTSD20RFU</ref>

Josh and Jason would cross paths once again, during a [[wikipedia:Solar_eclipse_of_April_8,_2024|2024 solar eclipse]] viewing.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bz833e/mr_based_staring_directly_at_the_sun/</ref>

=== Early Streams ===
On May 20, 2024, Jason streamed on Kick with Josh. The details of the stream are unclear, other than that they were at a bar, and Josh abruptly left.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1cwyaz7/josh_is_live_on_kick_with_groomer_mr_based/</ref>

Jason would continue to have Josh on his streams (how many is unclear at the moment), but was banned from the Kick platform on June 7, 2024, possibly due to Josh's outbursts towards donations.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1dar4s1/looks_like_mrbased_got_banned_on_kick_not_too/</ref> Notably, Jason was banned off kick again on June 24, apparently for sexually assaulting fellow streamer [[Carldo]]'s girlfriend.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1dnw1ou/comment/la5jkq1/</ref> Jason was once again suspended for one month on July 2, due to a situation where he sexually assaulted a woman, gaining notable attention on Twitter (X).<ref>https://x.com/FearedBuck/status/1808147700535202199</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1dtkskd/the_creep_finding_out_what_b_a_n_n_e_d_means_again/</ref>

From this point, the streams with Josh would become notable, as they began happening regularly.

=== Josh's Crashouts ===
Jason would begin streaming on YouTube after his Kick suspension, and these earlier streams would become notable for Josh being heavily intoxicated and belligerent on stream.<ref name=":0">https://ia800100.us.archive.org/8/items/WorldOfTShirtsAndMrBased/0.%20chapterlist.txt</ref> The intensity of Josh's outbursts, or crashouts, were significantly worse than anything else that had been seen from him up to this point.

==== July 5 ====
The stream begins with Jason doing miscellaneous activities, including purchasing alcohol, before Josh shows up to [[Mr Based's Apartment|his apartment]] about an hour into the stream. Jason and Josh wander out into the nearby streets for a while before returning to the apartment. At 3:11:30, Mr Based offers Josh a hit from his weed pipe, which triggers Josh to vomit onto his own clothing. Due to his heavily inebriated state, Josh shows minimal reaction, merely wiping the vomit on himself before continuing.<ref name=":0" />

Josh was changed into an orange t-shirt, but the remainder of the stream would escalate significantly. At about 3:45:30, Josh would become increasingly hostile toward TTS donations. At 3:45:57, a donor called out Jason's alleged exploitation of Josh, notably causing him to lash out from being called "DISABLED." Further donations escalated into Josh eventually shouting [[Josh's Racism|slurs]], his usual complaints about being middle class, threatening to kill donors (while Jason clarified the threats were "in Minecraft"), and hurling alcohol at the camera. Jason concludes the stream by leading Josh to a Citizens Bank ATM to pay him, before allowing him to leave.

==== July 19 ====
This stream was uneventful, with Jason initially engaging with viewers for approximately 16 minutes before Josh arrived at his residence. Upon entering, Josh complained of what he described as "hangover sweats" and requested a Twisted Tea. The subsequent hours of the stream featured TTS interactions between donors and the two. Later, they visited several bars in Manhattan, though the stream remained uneventful for much of the evening. Near the end of the stream, after leaving a bar, Josh becomes significantly paranoid about interacting with strangers, claiming that it was putting his "life in danger." The stream would abruptly end after Based began interacting with a group of Josh fans, where Based pinky-promised Josh to stop interacting with anyone. What makes this stream noteworthy is the events that followed the next day.

==== July 20 ====
{{Main|Hallucinations "Make it stop" Incident}}
A [[Hallucinations "Make it stop" Incident|series of live streams]] on July 20, 2024, would become one of the most significant events in the saga with Jason.

Josh arrived at Jason's residence already inebriated, displaying drowsiness and slurred speech. Jason provided Twisted Tea and Beatbox beverages, both high in alcohol content, exacerbating Josh’s condition. Over several hours, Josh exhibited severe impairment, including multiple stumbles, public urination, and immediately after doing so, falling into the street. Jason downplayed Josh’s intoxication during the stream, attributing it to minimal alcohol consumption.

By ~01:20:00 into the first stream, NYPD officers intervened, assisting Josh indoors after bystanders expressed concern. Josh resisted hospitalization, being adamant about his lack of insurance. Subsequent streams showed Josh unconscious on a couch, intermittently roused by TTS donations or Jason splashing water on him, which awoke Josh. A couple arriving for Josh’s scheduled NYC tour encountered him in a volatile state; Josh lashed out physically, striking the woman and shouting incoherently before stumbling into the streets.

The final streams involved Josh being once again passed out on Jason's couch, with police entering and taking Josh away. Prior to this, a 7-minute long version of Taps played, and other donations attempting to wake him up. Josh was taken away while "[[17:00 Somewhere]]" played.

==== July 22 - 31 ====
The most significant of events during these streams were Josh getting a manicure, and Jason being swatted.<ref name=":0" />

=== Alex Saga ===
[[Alex Novell]] begins filming a documentary on Mr. Based and Josh, culminating in an incident where Jason hit Alex in the face with a tripod. Both figures remain extremely controversial among the community.

=== Josh Studio Sessions ===
Jason pays for multiple studio sessions in order for Josh to record [[Music Career|music]].

=== Return to Kick ===
Mr. Based moves back to Kick in October 2024.

=== Galaxy Gas Streams ===
On December 23, 2024, in a very controversial stream, Jason provided Josh with "Galaxy Gas", flavored nitrous oxide that had been trending earlier in the year.

=== Parti Deal ===
[[Jack Doherty]] sets Josh up with a deal on the streaming platform [[Parti]], which subsequently involved Jason streaming on there too.[[File:JasonJosh.jpg|thumb|"A divorced dad getting his disabled son one weekend a month, right before he drops him off at mom's."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1iohzj6/a_divorced_dad_getting_his_disabled_son_one/</ref>]]

=== Arrested Live ===
Jason was arrested during a live stream on Parti; in an unexpected moment Jason expected Josh to get arrested, even laughing at the matter, until Jason was handcuffed.

=== Arrested Again ===
{{Quote|text=Not again... I have to feed your dog now|author=Josh's blunt reaction to Based getting arrested<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jwg3nj/based_gets_arrested/</ref>}}
Jason was arrested once again at [[Durgy's Bar]] on April 10, 2025, presumably after a viewer or a [[Trolls|troll]] who was interacting with Josh and Based earlier during the stream, called police. Jason had a warrant out for his arrest, which was already suspected by the community due to him appearing to be paranoid.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jkvgno/based_gotta_have_a_warrant/</ref><ref>https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/webcrim_attorney/Detail?which=charge&docketNumber=gwMYjZ/NbWlPZxTDuhP5pA==&countyId=wTDNnHf/UHIgYlsGmMChHQ==&docketId=5GABnfgrxvGFE3Xs4_PLUS_V0_PLUS_w==&docketDseq=T/O1YN_PLUS_BG65HkOeqEnpAkw==&defendantName=Itzler,+Jason&court=Kings+Criminal+Court&courtType=U&recordType=U&recordNum=</ref><ref>https://archive.ph/69jlY</ref> His arrest was on 3 counts, one of them being making [[Daniel Larson|terroristic]] threats.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jxnv71/mr_based_charged_with_felony_terrorist_threat_ha/</ref> Subsequently, Jason was released on bail, then banned from Parti.

== Pets ==
Jason owns two pets; [[Frankie]], a dog, and [[Bambi]], a cat. These pets are often seen and interacted with on Jason's streams.

Itzler commonly feeds his pets a combination of Kentucky Fried Chicken and/or Kraft Singles American Cheese. He doesn't use animal food as he believes his pets deserve a human meal. He has also fed Frankie, his dog, chocolate products on various occasions with little regard for his pets health.

== Criticism ==
Criticism of Jason stems from the view that he enables Josh's alcoholism, as well as exploiting Josh's worsening state solely for profit.

== Paycheck to Paycheck ==
Josh has frequently described himself as living "paycheck to paycheck," even though he does not receive regular paychecks or a salary. His lifestyle includes frequent international travel and reliance on alternative income sources such as Cameo and Parti, which provide earnings inconsistent with typical financial hardship.

== Employment ==
Surprisingly, Josh was actually employed at a few points in time. He worked as a janitor at a high school (seemingly during the [[Coffee and Boba Era]]).<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1f615rw/i_spoke_to_someone_who_knew_josh_from_his_janitor/</ref> There are also conflicting reports indicating that he worked at either Burger King or Dairy Queen.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13r125r/so_why_was_josh_laughing_at_this_man_doing_his_job/</ref>

== Taxes ==
For the 2023 tax year (filed in 2024), Josh reported owing $9,000 to the IRS, having to go on a payment plan (which Josh happily informed his audience about.)<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1c616fv/josh_owes_irs_9000/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1c610mc/federal_income_tax_4_easy_payments_on_klarna/</ref> According to [[Alex Novell]], Josh asked [[Mayor Flanagan]] to pay off $3,000 in back taxes that Josh owed and was apparently unable to pay, which Flanagan agreed to.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ex9aov/apparently_mayor_flanagan_paid_off_all_of_joshs/</ref> Josh confirmed he was on a payment plan again for the 2024 tax year.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1k08oxl/tax_day_announcement_from_captain/</ref>

== Debt ==
Aside from owing the IRS money, Josh has a surprisingly low amount of credit card debt (for someone who makes "$400k a year"), reportedly having 2 cards, one at $1,500 and one at $1,200, both maxed out.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1iyel6u/josh_has_less_than_3k_in_his_account/</ref> Josh once confirmed that he only makes the ''minimum payment'', to the point where his balance does not go down.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1b694aa/new_debt_arc/</ref>

One of the cards that Josh has is a ''Capital One Platinum MasterCard'', designed for individuals with a "fair" credit score, a.k.a, an entry level credit card with low limits, no real benefits, and a high interest rate.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1cyu54p/finger_nails_need_to_be_cleaned/</ref>

Chronology

2025-04-17T23:38:36Z

Gamer: Made a very rough summary of all the arcs/eras, added a placeholder where an arc is missing, added comments pointing out where things dont add up. Please edit if anything is wrong

The '''chronology''' of periods in the [[Joshua Block]] / WorldOfTShirts lore comprises of Eras, Arcs, and Sagas, each representing distinct segments with shared themes, settings, and significant events from [[Josh Block|Josh's]] life. These correspond to changes or phases in Josh's life.

'''Eras''' are large spans of time during Josh's life, usually from roughly 6 months to 3 years in length (although this can vary). '''Arcs''' are shorter, usually from roughly 1 month to 6 months in length (this can also vary greatly). Arcs can occur within Eras (e.g. the [[Travel Arc]] is occurring withing the [[Mr. Based Era]]).

Cameo

2025-04-17T21:10:32Z

Gamer: fix quote and refs

'''Cameo''' is an American video platform that allows for paid, personalized videos for fans, by celebrities. [[Joshua Block]] holds an account on Cameo, where his videos have been heavily criticized and mocked by the community for being exceptionally low-effort.

== History ==

=== The Beginning ===
{{Quote|text=My name is Josh, or you can call me ''massa''. I don't really like when my negroes disobey me. When I disobey Quinn he spanks me, when the porch monkeys disobey me I whip them. You gotta go big poopy in my diaper, Quinn has to lick it up.|author=Josh reading a Cameo, one of the only times where he put effort into following the script.}}
[[Michael Quinn]] was behind getting Josh to open a Cameo account in mid-May 2023.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13m88q7/mikey_quinn_is_supposedly_starting_a_cameo_for/</ref>

Josh opened his Cameo account on May 29, 2023, with his Cameo videos costing $30.99.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13v22us/joshs_cameo_with_prices/</ref> Josh reportedly made 5 videos in the first hour, totaling to $150 of earnings (before any fees.)<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13v36i9/joshs_cameo/</ref>

Within the first day, Josh recorded for very questionable scripts, reading scripts about [[Catchphrases|diapers]] and "[[Racism|porch monkeys]]".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vc7rk/josh_is_about_to_get_b_a_n_n_e_d_on_cameo_again/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13v7l83/we_are_only_3_hours_in_to_the_cameos_and_their/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13v3x78/josh_admits_to_still_not_being_fully_potty/</ref> Josh reported making $1000, then $2000, then $2800 from Cameos.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13v5lxp/josh_has_officially_made_1000_on_cameo_just_a_few/</ref> He then went on a rant on a Quinn live, angry about the "porch monkey" Cameo, despite the fact that Josh ''chose'' to read it out and post it.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vi2ge/josh_threatening_to_sue_for_billions_on_his/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vi1we/dawgggg_how_much_yall_this_hes_making_on_cameo/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vhrhw/drunken_josh_rant_about_the_racist_cameo_on_quinn/</ref> Later in the night, Josh denied that he even said it, and even blamed [[Daniel Larson]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vht2l/josh_cappin_on_his_drunken_rant_about_the_cameo/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13viuq9/josh_threatening_to_sue_larson_during_his_drunken/</ref> He also claimed that he would no longer do Cameos, which turned out to be [[Compulsive Lying|false]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vjnx5/fuck_cameo_they_ruined_my_life_imma_still_do_them/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vt0pe/so_is_he_still_doing_cameo_or_no/</ref>

The next day, Josh was already bragging on TikTok Lives that he made "$5000 a FUCKING day".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13w6l4k/watch_this/</ref> He then raised the prices from $30 to $45, then $50, then $55, then lowered back to $50 all within the span of a couple of hours.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vu6ou/bro_raised_his_cameo_price_from_30_to_45/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13vxniw/cameo_prices_now_up_to_5499_what_a_steal/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13w6vmj/joshs_cameo/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13w3zen/cameo/</ref> In the next few days demand would remain high, with Josh claiming he was "backed up" on Cameos.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13y7dsf/hes_commenting_about_how_hes_backed_up_on_cameos/</ref> Josh's TikTok lives continued to involve him bragging about his perceived newfound wealth.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13x3rzo/is_anyone_else_just_getting_genuinely_annoyed_and/</ref>

=== The Decline ===
By mid-June, the initial surge of fans and trolls purchasing Cameo videos had reportedly dried up, presumably leading to a massive slowdown in revenue, and Josh not bragging about his Cameo earnings anymore.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/14fcvxy/is_josh_still_generating_mass_revenue_through/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/14gwxm1/does_josh_still_make_money_on_cameo/</ref> In addition, the quality of the Cameos would begin rapidly declining; as Josh would begin recording the videos while hungover. In multiple examples, Josh either did the absolute bare minimum<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/16mfuo4/the_most_hungover_cameo/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bz1k41/might_be_the_funniest_thing_josh_has_done/</ref>, or ignored the request<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ajnxxl/i_got_ripped_off_by_josh_on_cameo/</ref>, and even posted videos where his face wasn't visible.<ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/17filq7/last_day_for_cameo_sale/</ref> In some cases, Josh simply ripped off customers, not even saying a word.<ref>https://www.cameo.com/recipient/65bb4ede3159a33d2c8a316c</ref>

=== Present Day ===
As of April 2025, Josh's Cameo is still up, and he continues to "fulfill" requests; with an average video length of 11 seconds and a 3.0 star rating, and videos costing $37.

Sinclair Method

2025-04-17T20:50:39Z

Gamer: +basic description

{{Stub}}

The '''Sinclair Method''' is a treatment for [[alcoholism]] which [[Joshua Block]] claimed to be using in 2024.

== Background ==
The Sinclair Method uses naltrexone to block alcohol's rewarding effects, gradually extinguishing cravings and reducing drinking over time.<ref>https://www.sinclairmethod.org/what-is-the-sinclair-method-2/</ref>

== Josh and the Sinclair Method ==
In 2024, Josh claimed he was starting the Sinclair Method to "help cut down on [his] drinking", pledging to only party on weekends and vacations, keeping weekday drinking to a minimum.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1d5g1mx/some_research_i_did_on_naltrexone_sinclair_method/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1d5dr3j/guess_he_got_a_prescription/</ref> Despite this, Josh continued heavily drinking every day, and there's no evidence to suggest that he continued trying to follow the Sinclair method.

Coffee and Boba Era

2025-04-17T20:41:08Z

Gamer: +info +stub

{{Stub}}

The '''Coffee and Boba Era''' was a period in Josh's life before he began his journey into [[alcoholism]] and subsequently met [[Michael Quinn]], where Josh posted himself drinking and reviewing beverages, doing harmless internet trends, and being generally wholesome. During this era, Josh would also go viral for his "[[In New York]]" videos.

At this time, Josh was claiming to be getting caffeine withdrawals, hinting at the later descent into [[Alcoholism|addiction]].

== Coffee and Boba (song) ==
Josh released "Coffee and Boba" at the end of 2020, a song where he expresses his self-proclaimed addiction to coffee and boba tea.

== End ==
The Coffee and Boba era's end would finally come when Josh turned 21 in August 2022, and began drinking [[Alcoholism|alcohol]] instead of coffee or boba.

Blockcoin

Gamer: ++info +image

{{PleaseSpreadTheMessage|For obvious reasons, it is not recommended to purchase or "invest" in the Blockcoin. You have been warned.}}{{Quote|text=The Official World of T-Shirts (Josh Block) cryptocurrency, created by Josh Block himself - the greatest store of value in the memecoin universe. The best memecoin ever created!|personquoted=Official description of $BLOCK.<ref>https://pump.fun/coin/3vD5SD6VUKaqGbEz2BvVDo4fh9JwzoA2v6io9iJ2pump</ref>}}
[[File:Blockcoin.jpg|thumb|256x256px|The $BLOCK logo.]]
'''BLOCKCOIN''' ('''$BLOCK'''), is the "official" [[Josh Block|Joshua Block]] / World of T-Shirts memecoin, created on Solana via [[wikipedia:Pump.fun|pump.fun]] by [[Mr. Based]].
==Overview==

The Blockcoin was created on November 25, 2024, during a Based live stream.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1gzx60j/josh_block_coin_lmao/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1h04oqu/crypto_night_highlights/</ref> Based reportedly floated the idea to Josh in October 2024.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1g8eq0b/based_wants_to_launch_a_crypto_scam_with_josh/</ref>

The logo of the Blockcoin is an AI-generated image of a Bitcoin wearing a [[The Captains Hat|captain's hat]]. [[Sebastian|Josh's official merch store]] sells commemorative "$BLOCK Coin" T-shirts featuring this logo, but explicitly states that they are not affiliated with $BLOCK and that it is not investment advice.<ref>https://www.worldoftshirts.ai/products/josh-block-meme-coin-tee</ref>

==Controversies and Speculation==

Blockcoin has been the subject of considerable controversy and speculation on [[r/WorldOfTShirts]]; concerns were immediately raised about the coin's legitimacy and potential for a "rug pull" scheme, where creators benefit and then abandon the project.

Mr. Based has been a particularly controversial figure, with his past convictions for money laundering and other crimes raising concerns about his involvement. He also made claims like Josh would "quit drinking alcohol forever" if the coin's value were to reach $1.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1h0pl3v/mrgayced_just_said_announced_that_if_block_coin/</ref> There have been unverified claims that Jason himself cashed out a significant amount of BlockCoin early on.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1gzyew3/laced_all_but_just_announced_he_sold_his_stake_in/</ref>

== Josh's Involvement ==
Josh's involvement in actively promoting the coin independently has been almost non-existent. Even TikTok posts made to his account about the coin (which Based made him create) were immediately deleted in fear of getting [[BANNED|B-A-N-N-E-D]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1h0si4q/block_coin_to_the_moon/</ref> In fact, Josh doesn't even seem fully aware what the Blockcoin is.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1hvejo0/danny_duncan_talks_about_joshs_block_coin/</ref>

== Tattoo ==
Based convinced Josh to get a giant tattoo of the AI-generated $BLOCK logo on his arm.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1h3thp0/oh_my_god/</ref> This reportedly pumped up the value of the coin by 980%.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1h431o7/the_tattoo_was_a_weirdly_good_way_to_pump_up_the/</ref>

== Current Situation ==
Unsurprisingly, the Blockcoin is basically dead, with the coin having a very low market cap and little to no trading activity. In a feeble attempt to revive the coin, Based made TTS donation prices 50% off if paid with Blockcoin.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jkojwl/tts_50_off_with_block_coin/</ref>

world-of-tshirts.com:To-do list

2025-04-17T08:06:19Z

Gamer: Adding reviewing orphaned articles as a maintenance item

This page serves as a centralized list of things on the World of T-Shirts Wiki that require improvement or expansion. Editors may use this page to track tasks they believe need attention.

The following guidelines apply: tasks may be completed in any order, and editors should remove completed items from the list. Specific suggestions for improvement should be added to the appropriate sections below.

== Community to-do list ==
* Update important people articles (Joshua Block, Mr. Based, Quinn, etc.)
* Update Josh travel / country articles
* Ensure pages have good images
* Add specific tasks to this section

== General maintenance tasks ==
This section outlines general maintenance tasks that contribute to the overall quality of the wiki.

=== Content archival ===
Most references currently link to [[r/WorldOfTShirts|Reddit]] as the primary archive for Joshua Block related content. While this remains the most accessible source, there exists a small, but potential risk of content loss should the subreddit be removed by Reddit administrators. Additionally, while Josh's TikTok and YouTube channels are less likely to be deleted, archival of this content remains important for long-term preservation.

=== Stub articles ===
A stub article is defined as one that is too short to comprehensive coverage of its subject. These articles should receive priority for expansion. Some articles will be inherently short, due to there not being enough to write about. Conversely, some articles can still be considered stubs even if they are a few paragraphs long, as there is still plenty to write about.

The [[:Category:Stubs]] contains all currently identified stub articles.

=== Orphaned articles ===
Orphaned articles are pages that have no incoming links from other articles on the wiki. These should be reviewed to determine if they should be linked from appropriate articles, merged with existing content, or considered for deletion if they lack significance.

The [[Special:LonelyPages]] tool identifies all orphaned articles on the wiki.

=== Citation requirements ===
Articles containing unsourced claims marked with [''citation needed''] should be reviewed. Editors should either provide reliable sources for these statements or remove them if verification proves impossible.

The [[:Category:Articles Missing Citations]] lists articles requiring source verification.

=== Content redundancy ===
Articles flagged for potential deletion due to content overlap with other entries should be evaluated. Editors should determine whether merging, redirecting, or keeping the article as standalone content would be most appropriate.

The [[:Category:Duplicate articles]] identifies potentially redundant content.

=== Article rewrites ===
Articles marked for rewriting should contain false information, poor writing quality, or significant formatting problems. If these issues do not apply, editors should consider replacing the rewrite notice with a more appropriate maintenance template.

The [[:Category:Articles that need to be rewritten]] contains affected articles.

=== Media transcriptions ===
Articles featuring audio or video content should have transcriptions for accessibility and searchability.

The [[:Category:Articles that need transcripts]] lists media requiring transcription.

=== Language quality ===
Articles identified as having grammatical or formatting issues should be reviewed and corrected.

The [[:Category:Articles with grammar issues]] contains articles needing language improvements.

=== Deletion candidates ===
Articles marked for deletion should be carefully evaluated. Editors who believe an article should be retained should discuss this on the article's Talk page or the Wiki Discord server.

The [[:Category:Content for deletion]] lists current deletion candidates.

=== Content updates ===
Articles tagged with [[Template:Needs Updating]] require current information. Editors should consult the sources mentioned in the template when updating these articles.

Alternatively, and by default, the template may be used to provide relevant (but not necessarily recent) sources needed to update an article.

The [[:Category:Articles that need to be updated]] identifies outdated content.

=== Ongoing events coverage ===
Articles covering developing situations should be regularly updated to reflect current information. The ongoing event template should be removed when the situation concludes or becomes historical.

The [[:Category:Articles with possibly outdated ongoing templates]] lists articles potentially requiring updates or template removal.

Self Harm

2025-04-17T07:56:05Z

Gamer: +info, +2 sections

{{CW}}{{HealthDisclosure}}{{Quote|quote=I just tried to jump on the tracks... Yeah, I just tried to commit suicide I tried to jump on the tracks... [''sobbing'']|author=Josh immediately after attempting to jump onto train tracks}}

One of the signs of [[Josh Block|Joshua Block's]] poor [[Josh and Mental Health|mental health]] is frequent '''self harm''' in the form of biting himself, banging his head against things, and punching himself.

== Biting Self ==
Self-injurious behavior in [[autism]] involves actions such as biting, hitting, or scratching oneself, often as a response to distress or sensory overload.<ref>https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour/self-injurious-behaviour/all-audiences</ref> In the case of Josh, an autistic individual, this behavior primarily manifests as hand biting.

Before participating in streams with Mr. Based, Josh rarely exhibited this behavior; one example was a June 2023 meltdown.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1425s1h/josh_meltdown/</ref> However, in 2024, Josh's self-injurious actions increased alongside more frequent meltdowns.

== Suicide Attempts ==

=== LIRR suicide attempt ===
On July 27, 2024, an incident involving Josh occurred near a Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) station in Staten Island. According to witness accounts, the situation began after Josh was reportedly removed from Richmond Republic, a local bar, for allegedly punching another patron. Following the altercation, he became increasingly agitated, shouting about "America being backwards" before heading toward the train tracks in visible distress.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ee153k/josh_seriously_needs_help/?sort=qa</ref>

Multiple bystanders, primarily teenagers, attempted to intervene after hearing screams in a nearby Wendy’s parking lot. They described Josh as being in an extreme state of distress, stimming uncontrollably for approximately 30 minutes while resisting attempts to calm him down. Josh also called his [[Grandpa Block|grandfather]], informing him of his suicide attempt and [[Catchphrases|continuing to complain]] about America.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1eeezd8/josh_talking_on_the_phone_after_attempting_to/</ref> When someone suggested calling emergency services, and upon realizing he was being filmed, Josh reportedly became more agitated, kicking one individual and refusing assistance, saying he couldn't afford another hospital bill.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1eeewm3/josh_tries_to_assault_one_of_the_filmers_of_the/</ref>

Several witnesses attempted to physically restrain him, but he continued screaming and lashing out. Eventually, a group accompanied him onto a train to St. George to ensure his safety, though they admitted lacking experience in crisis intervention. The situation was partially recorded in videos posted by the bystanders, some of which were posted by [[Mr. Based]].
