I don't find any real usability for this Metaverse: actually I think it will only make people and society dumber and closer to the Idiocracy movie. Spending time online wearing some stupid glasses it's a no no for me. Also the NFTs are a waste of time and money, I wouldn't buy useless digital shoes and buildings. I love BTC and have diamond hands but these 2 things I'm not a fan of and I know I will never be. Society needs to become wiser not dumber. Living in a digital realm sucks, I'm a human being not a stupid machine. Rant over.
Just like you, I also have no interest in investing in virtual things like that, we don't know if the metaverse can last long or if it's just hype that will be replaced by other hype in the future, instead of having to buy property in the virtual world, of course it would be better for us to invest property in real world , because in the end all of us who are here must be faced with real life not virtual.
