Metaverse is a scam. But being a scam don't mean you can't profit from it. Zuck has deep pockets to keep this thing alive and he will do that as long as he can. Somehow, he believes he is onto something. Let's pretend like he is. Let him lure the tards in. Pump the metaverse coins. Just don't forget to get out before we run out of suckers. It is that easy.

Thats a savage take mindrust.

I am sure a lot of people are going to employ this strategy but you are mixing up the two. Zuck's metaverse has got nothing to do with the metaverse coins. Atleast there haven't been any announcements yet. There have been real deals between some NFTs and big corporates like Nike and Adidas but not with Facebook.

So Zuck really just wants everybody to get hooked onto AR/VR kits and haptic gloves and jerk themselves off to virtual porn. Its a very dystopian vision. The one with people in avatars attending meetings is also very superfluous. Yet, he definitely has the money and the marketing to make it possible. The crypto based metaverse coins actually came up with the idea first but Zuck loves stealing ideas. Isn't there this urban legend about Winklevoss twins and facebook? The bugger stole their idea and now he wants to co-opt the one crypto-related thing that seems to be getting hit with common people.

Its mostly just about ownership of virtual goods rather than the actual experience. Maybe we are too early to write this off, but really who cares about wearing a haptic suit and getting to hug and greet virtual people and shop around virtual items in 3D?
