The concept of meta universe is popular. Is virtual real estate worth investing

Since the meta universe began to boom last year , Many people began to pay attention to the meta universe virtual real estate , Such as decentraland、sand And other popular projects began to be in short supply , The corresponding item token price also rises , When the meta cosmic infrastructure is not perfect , Whether investing in plots of virtual world is a wise choice is worth pondering .

People are frying land , What is it actually

In the real world , Land is a carrier of life for people , Social activities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are carried out on it , That's why , Therefore, land has been a rigid need in social activities since ancient times , This also explains that when society moves from turmoil to stability , Why did real estate take the lead in developing , Its essence is caused by people's demand for social activities .

When we put this theory into the meta universe, whether it is feasible ？ The answer is yes, of course ,decentraland and sand And other blockchain metauniverse games , Their common feature is to provide a fixed number of virtual world plots , It provides a carrier for players to carry out social activities in the virtual world , When there are more and more players in these games , Naturally, for plots , Starting value is also rising .

The number of players increases with the value of the plot, which is like a web2 The real number of visits to the website has increased , The increase in activity on a male chain's face is similar to , What brings users is intangible assets such as attention and brand influence , This brand equity is in web2 We can easily find similar cases in , For example, wechat 、QQ、 Or internet giants such as Baidu .

like web1 and web2 Domain names in the world are the same , In the metacosmic world “ domain name ” It's actually a plot of land , Various types “.com”、“.net”、“.io” And so on are like various plot projects in the meta universe , People buy plots of land in the project , In fact, it's equivalent to registering one “xxx.com” Similar domain names . People hype land plots , In fact, it is hyping the meta universe “ domain name ”.

What are the risks of land speculation

Just like real estate in the real world ,web1 and web2 It's domain name hype , and web3 It is the speculation of the land of the meta universe , They all have a problem , That is the total amount of these resources , Real world real estate, especially houses , Its total amount is mainly controlled by the state , For example, industrial land specially divided in China 、 Residential land and land plots with various attributes such as cultivated land , Different plots have different uses , This can regulate the use of land . stay web1 and web2 in , Domain names are basically unlimited , People have .com、.cn、.net Etc , At the same time, the length of the domain name can be unlimited , But the real value of domain names is limited , Valuable domain names are mainly concentrated in short characters , such as qq.com、jd.com Such convenient memory domain names , This belongs to web1 and web2 Rare resources , Therefore, it has always been of great value . Although top-level domain names can continue to increase , But it also requires a lot of infrastructure costs and servers , So for web2 for , Within a certain period of time , Easy to remember domain names are still a scarce resource .

And for web3 And metacosmic “ domain name ” For virtual plots , It could be different , The project construction of meta universe virtual world is relatively simple , At present, most of them take the traditional game software as the template to transform , The corresponding project cost is low , So there will be a big outbreak , Especially in the early metacosmic Ecology , Therefore, the number of virtual plots here will increase with the increase of projects , Plus, the meta universe project is not like traditional land 、 The phenomenon of top-level domain names being controlled , Therefore, there are a large number of blockchain projects with virtual plots as the theme , At the same time, this is accompanied by the emergence of large numbers of foam. , This is also the biggest risk in the metacosmic virtual land .

In short, a large number of projects appear , It will inevitably make the uncompetitive virtual plot project fail in the end , So that the corresponding investors lose their money , This is similar to investing in start-ups , Finally, it is reflected in people's attention to the project and the value of the project itself .

Another is that the hype of virtual land has actually had some negative effects on the development of the meta universe itself . Limit some novice players' experience of the metauniverse , It makes the later players need to spend a lot of money to buy some plots of land , It will naturally reduce the activity of users and players .

That's why , So like Baidu 、Facebook And so on began to build a free meta universe project , This kind of meta universe project will not focus on the hype of the plot , For them , Part of the reason is to avoid regulatory scrutiny , But it still plays a great role in cooling the hype of virtual plots .

summary

The hype of the plot is actually a way of people's layout of the meta universe and the embodiment of Commerce , Metauniverse needs to develop business , This is also an important factor supporting their existence , Speculation on plots of valuable projects , In fact, it is essentially an investment behavior , When business groups are willing to pay for it , In fact, it is also the time when its brand is bound with the meta universe project , This further increases the overall value and influence , For virtual plot projects with weak influence , Investors need to be vigilant , Once the project fails , Then the virtual plot in your hand is the same as 17 In, most of the counterfeit coins were the same , Finally, it's worthless .
