Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren't straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic
If you think about it, all sorts of fucked up things that are happening now have been portrayed as a bad thing in past media: Virtual words, virtual-fuckin' land (not 100% sure this one is real, still really hoping its not), misuse of AI, smart houses, where everything is controlled by a remote (which relies on electricity / wi-fi), even stuff like alexa, which is listening to every word you say, at your home...
what's the point of selling "virtual land" if it's practically unlimited anyway? (artificial scarcity?)
Yes absolutely. Virtual land = Yet another NFT
Yes
Haha yeah the virtual land was true thing. it was a crypto scam if I recall correctly. Everything nowadays is just crypto scam
You can just call it crypto. The scam bit is implied.
