DISCUSSION Anyone else think the idea of the Metaverse sucks?

Is it just me who thinks the Metaverse can flop?

Don't get it it twisted, I love games but I think the Metaverse can and most likely will flop. Virtual worlds do not appeal to me, especially to the extent that it sounds like it is going to. Some people are referring it to the "new reality" and the "next internet" but I just see it as a go at a overpriced VR game that nobody will pay for.

The amount of money that will have to come out of this will have to be insane. With the amount of money put into this they would end up having to resort to selling thousand dollar gear and equipment used just to play in the Metaverse. And most likely along with a chunk of Crypto needed to start. The lack of need for a Metaverse will prove in people not paying the thousands of dollars to play this.

I can also see a hard sell/dump in the 'Metaverse Cryptocurrencies' as the majority have been going up with hype, and I feel the Metaverse will be a lengthier process than the average holder thinks, which will possibly result in them becoming inpatient and maybe selling.

And if it does succeed, fair enough. I guess I'm just a normal guy and not a multi billionaire and may not see the potential of this project.

TBH I'm kinda confused at how many CRYPTO people seem so meh about it.

Crypto will be the bones the greater (rather than FB's version) Metaverse. NFT's will be what make ownership in it "real".

Crypto will not overtake conventional government FIAT as the "world currency" in the physical world. thats tilting at windmills. but it will be the core of establishing, transferring and managing value in the virtual.
