Compared with the basic technologies and application scenarios being explored, has the pace of commercialization and capitalization of the meta universe gone too far?
When many people don’t understand what the “Yuan universe” is, the “Yuan universe real estate speculation” has sprung up. On foreign platforms, the transaction volume of Youyuan universe real estate has reached the real real real estate level, with hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars of transactions.
It is reported that not long ago, on the yuan universe app “Rainbow universe” developed by Chinese companies, the second-hand transfer price of virtual real estate once exceeded 100000 yuan. At present, the trading platform has blocked keywords such as “Yuan universe” and “Rainbow universe”, and the transfer price of Yuan universe’s top real estate has also shrunk significantly. If someone used to spend real money to buy yuan universe real estate, I’m afraid it has been “covered”.
The real estate on the virtual platform can not live, let alone settle down. Why can it attract people to buy? This is because real estate has both residential and resource attributes. Although yuancosmic real estate can not really “live and live”, some investors see yuancosmic real estate as a limited resource and “occupy the pit” in advance to drive the rise of virtual house prices.
As a new technological concept, the meta universe reposes people’s beautiful ideal beyond the boundary of real life. In reality, you can’t afford to live in a big villa. The yuan universe platform takes you to live in a sea view mansion; In reality, you are a weak scholar and become a muscle man in the meta universe. The films “the number one player” and “out of control player” have been popular one after another, which also makes more ordinary people feel the rich charm and infinite possibilities of the meta universe world.
Of course, we can’t whip the meta universe just because it provides a virtual experience. However, we need to be vigilant. Compared with the basic technologies and application scenarios being explored, is the commercialization and capitalization of the meta universe too advanced?
In fact, the most significant feature of digital assets is often not scarcity, but its particularity and creativity. For example, although the blockchain appears in a closed-loop ecology, the same closed-loop can also be copied infinitely. With a slight modification of the code, you can sing all kinds of “air coins” and let me come on stage, so that many investors are cut into leeks.
In terms of yuanuniverse real estate, the “land resources” on the digital platform can be unlimited, and even the “universe” itself can be copied. Therefore, the real-world real estate speculation logic is not applicable in the application scenario of meta universe. Dozens of Universel Residence units as like as two peas are just like a copy of the code.
Of course, it is precisely because the meta universe breaks the constraints of the real world that it makes it possible to realize bolder ideas. The meta cosmic world is not limited by physical and chemical laws, and allows thoughtful architectural talents to show their strength and “create” an unrestrained residence.
This “infinite possibility” of “uncertainty” is the greatest charm of the meta universe, but for investors seeking return, “uncertainty” also means risk. In particular, at present, the development process and application fields of the meta universe are still unknown, and many basic technologies need to be broken through. The emerging meta universe real estate is more or less suspected of making fast money by playing with the concept.
Moreover, different from the real real real estate transaction with mature supervision, yuanuniverse real estate transaction still faces many regulatory gaps. How to define the nature of yuancosmic real estate, how the law protects yuancosmic real estate, and how to mediate in case of transaction disputes… When there is no solution to these problems, the investment risk can be imagined.
Real estate investment is a common investment channel in real society, which is probably the reason why yuan universe real estate speculation is ready to move since the promotion of the concept of Yuan universe. However, if we only transplant the experience of real society into the meta universe, I’m afraid it’s just a kind of undervaluation and Misreading of the meta universe.
In short, the development and popularization of the meta universe still need to be improved in technology, policy, law and the overall ecology. At present, when people think about the application space of the meta universe, they might as well change their logic and explore its possibility and investment value from the perspective of facing the future. They should not blindly follow the trend and regard the meta universe as a “real estate paradise”.
