    Is that where my friend wanted me to buy “real estate” a few years ago? He said he had gotten $200,000 invested and was going to retire once he sold… I suppose we are back to the original plan now, “Chick-Fil-A Chef Until 75”

      Unless it’s a part of meta horizons I didn’t know about (which is very possible, I interacted about 3 minutes with it), that particular metaverse might have been some crypto/NFT bullshit rather.

      This sounds like something à la “decentraland” a.k.a cryptobros trying to sell plots in a terrible empty virtual world because some day it’ll sell for bazillions dollars, trust us.

      Wait you actually know someone that fell for that? That’s nuts. I know they planned to monetize digital real estate before the metaverse even existed but I didn’t realize it actually happened.
