Anyone investing in this Metaverse thing? - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

Man · 01-20-2022, 02:48 PM

I got my very first email today for a retail store that just opened in the metaverse. I briefly heard about this metastuff...but didn't really think it was a thing. But now thinking I need to start really looking into this. Apparently you can already purchase land and items in it.

i saw where nike is or will be selling clothing in the metaverse soon....clown world

Fmjag64 · 01-20-2022, 03:01 PM

Haha it's too much. I have too many real world needs and problems to invite metaProblems

kae006 · 01-20-2022, 03:03 PM

I've put some more funds into FB, they have something like $60B in cash I believe. That said, I'm terrific at losing money.

Ryan81 · 01-20-2022, 03:04 PM

Crypto made no sense to me at first but made a lot of folks wealthy.

This makes no sense to me either. Absolutely none.

You live a fake in-game life and buy fake things for your fake in-game life, is kinda what I understand it to be. The news had a thing about it a couple days ago, dude basically said if you don't like your real life or you're ugly in real life and want to live as a better looking person or in a better situation it's for you.

I used to play online video games. Some folks got waaaaay too into them to the point you'd think they were living in that world. Now that you can "invest" in the fake world...my how we've fallen

I can see a Venn diagram with guys in the Metaverse, and those paying for OnlyFans, looking like a solar eclipse.

I’m not big on regulation but if you want to talk about public health crisis then this will be a major contributor going forward

Ditto!

Regrettably I was hammered with , "if you cannot understand an opportunity within the 1st or possibly the 2nd time it is presented that opportunity is not for you!" Between crypto and meta I am totally loss.

The internet will become like a drug.
People will be breaking in so they can jack in when theirs goes down ��.
We're going full retard, and witnessing the birth of the most useless people that have ever existed.
You go in a kids room now days and it's like a cave, in which the whole space revolves around a monitor.
My my my, yes we have fallen.

Have you guys watched the movie ‘Ready Player One’?

If you haven’t, it’ll give you a better of idea of the whole metaverse concept

Reelthreat · 01-20-2022, 09:44 PM

Those darned kids and their interwebs.. seriously, remember back in the 90 with the dotcom boom and everyone thought people were crazy, SAME CONCEPT.

You just have to figure out what will be the Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc... tons of money to be made because most people are scared or don't understand it.

If Bernadell drinks it while reading the good book. Then I’ll drink it as well since I too read the good book every day.

Briar Friar · 01-20-2022, 10:42 PM

I wanna get groped on the Metaverse to see how that works. Metoo metaverse.

I also wanna jump off a metavisual building and stand on a mountain to see if I get the same vertigo at great heights and precipices in real life. Itd be cool if I could use a metamountain for a therapy by which to cure my height vertigo tendency.

txhunt7 · 01-20-2022, 10:59 PM

like anything, it can be used for good and evil.
since man is involved, I see this thing going bad .
the founders will pitch this as the next best thing to sliced bread but look for a moment and see how much damage the simple games have done to the younger generation.
No one knows how to work anymore.
This is gonna be bad. Can anything good come out of zuckerberg and his crew?

While everyone's in their dark room turning white and enjoying their fake world, I'll go out and enjoy the great outdoors as there will be less people out there

Big Lee · 01-21-2022, 03:38 AM

This isn't anything new. Meta has been around for years. Thousands of years. You can't have Metal without Meta. That's right folks, you read it here.

It’s just the next step in total control. So many kids are addicted to social media and virtual reality it’s not even funny. Even scarier, there are parents that are addicted already.

and what baffles me are the people that are willing to invest in this to make money. i'm not talking about the crazy rich elites, i'm talking about the middle class guys, that are ok with putting their money into something like this knowing the ill effects on society.
i guess money is the root of all evil so why should i be surprised? anything to make a buck.
