Why does everybody want flipping metaverse?
summary
Metaverse projects here claim real outcomes: 10,000 frog NFTs sell out on day one, funding a persistent world where 50% of the budget goes to the shared space; esports gets a VR stadium (Vertex VR) and live concerts stream through an Unreal-based venue (Wristband). Big numbers and risks coexist — Travis Scott makes ~$20M in Fortnite and speculative projects like Star Atlas hit a $7B market cap before build. Watch for wallets, gas fees, rug pulls, and services like Photon or Hadean.
