#香港地产大亨购入 "metaverse" plots #
From the time Zuckerberg first changed facebook to Meta, gambling on the concept of "metaverse", he has been paying attention to this section, according to The understanding of Mars' fundamentalism, the metacosm can be roughly understood as what we call virtual reality, if you still feel that you don't understand, then a more superficial understanding is the once popular Monopoly, SimCity and other cultivation games.
However, the metacosm is the introduction of AR/VR/MR and other wearable devices, and even the future "brain-computer interface", that is, through digital simulation of a world, a universe, in this virtual world, and the real world can be social, shopping, living, and even able to have a sense of touch.
When the "metacosm" and real estate are combined, and even some people spend huge sums of money to buy "land plots" in the metacosm, people can't help but think of another concept that was more popular in previous years - the fate of Bitcoin.
To be honest, the idea of recreating a world or even a universe in the virtual world is very worth encouraging, after all, it is like a flag, standing there, which can drive the people who chase and realize it, and by the way, drive some technological progress, such as brain-computer interface technology that can make people achieve "consciousness immortality", AI artificial intelligence, etc. In recent years, some of the concepts of virtual worlds have been hot, and if you connect them, you will find a relatively complete logical closed loop:
"The New World: The Former Universe"
New world currencies – Bitcoin and Ethereum
New World Human Identity Symbol -——NFT"
However, these virtual ones are built on the basis of the material world, and the real world is still inseparable, and even can only usher in the support of a very small number of people in the real world, just like the underlying technology of Bitcoin, the blockchain, you recognize this algorithm, this logic, then this coin is valuable to you, you do not recognize, then it is worthless.
From a realistic point of view, no matter how the metacosm is combined with "real estate", no matter how many gimmicks, we remain "cautiously pessimistic" about real estate in the virtual world, for the following reasons:
Whether it is the metaverse or Bitcoin, they can be said to be born with a certain degree of "subversiveness", for example, assuming that in the metaverse, using Bitcoin to "speculate", the poor egg in the real world may become the rich man in the metaverse, and the president in the metaverse may just be a civilian in the real world.
This is actually a challenge.
It is as if some people think that Bitcoin is challenging the mint rights of various countries in the world with an algorithm and rules that prevail in the world.
In the real world, if the human power system has not undergone substantial changes, or the state or the state group as the power composition system, then the real sense of the "metacosm" is difficult to achieve, at best, can only be a more enlarged, more realistic or more cool, the national game industry within the scope of the "real estate tycoon" and "sim city" virtual game.
We know that many people in life play games, hit a certain level, will get some virtual "equipment", "character level", etc., some players will also take these things out to sell in reality, indeed can also sell to a certain considerable price, and even some can buy hundreds of thousands or even millions.
However, it should be clear that players in reality, buying these virtual game equipment, game characters, their needs are to meet the pleasure of playing games and the game experience in the virtual world, to put it bluntly, or use the currency in reality to buy a form of virtual game services, to put it bluntly, is to spend money to buy happiness, buy happiness.
The metacosm and Bitcoin are not the same, in the virtual system, is its own monetary financial system, and its valuation is also a kind of imitation (not the same as stocks), if you want to exchange the currency in the virtual world, into the real currency, it depends on how to look at it, if you think it is still a purchase of virtual experience, it is similar to the game to recharge to buy gold coins.
But if it is virtual wealth, taken to the real world to sell on a grand scale, beyond a certain extent, or even form "the same faith basis as the credit money economic system endorsed by the real countries", then it may be that the "window" of this transaction will be closed, because the transaction often means mutual benefit, not life and death.
Now the group chasing the meta-universe and Bitcoin is far less than the base of people who buy houses and buy cars in reality, which can only be said to be a minority in the minority, and the "crops" and "tycoons" who go in advance may not believe in the meta-universe themselves, but may only be for the layout in advance, and then make a profit in the future.
Metaverse and Bitcoin, in addition to the technology derived from these concepts and driven by the development, can be said to be untimely, technology is valuable, but technology must also serve people, rather than eliminate the subject itself, technology can always be the object, people will always be the subject.
Based on this, we believe that the technological achievements brought about by the metacosm and Bitcoin, such as the computer computing power of quantum mechanics, the underlying technology and concept of the blockchain, the brain-computer interface and interaction, AI+3D holograms, virtual reality and other technological breakthroughs and innovations, are worthy of in-depth study, but the real estate development and land speculation involved in the virtual categories of metacosm and Bitcoin may end up like Bitcoin mining, and the final result may be a chicken feather. Of course, it is not excluded that some people may enter first to eat first, and enter in the middle and drink soup, but the last person to enter is likely to be the receiver, that is, the snowflake of the collapse of the Ponzi scheme.
