BANGKOK (NNT) - Institutions have warned investors to remain cautious about the possibility of a metaverse pricing bubble in the future, saying markets for cryptocurrencies are highly sensitive to a number of factors.

 

The subject was raised at a recent meeting co-hosted by Chulalongkorn University and the Puey Ungphakorn Institute for Economic Research of the Bank of Thailand. Participants discussed the book "Is Metaverse LAND a Good Investment?" It Depends on Your Unit of Account!" by Kanis Saengchote of Chulalongkorn Business School’s Department of Banking and Finance and Voraprapa Nakavachara, Chulalongkorn University’s assistant to the president for global engagement.

 

The papers, which discuss virtual land prices in the Sandbox, a blockchain-based metaverse, claim that between December 2019 and January 2022, sellers’ prices increased up to 300 times, while the repeat sales index increased 12 times.

According to Kanit, individual virtual land sales in the Sandbox hit a high of around 140 million baht this year, while Decentraland, another prominent Metaverse project, hit a high of around 115 million baht. These findings could point to a virtual land price bubble, warning investors to exercise caution in their investments.

 

The metaverse is becoming increasingly popular among business owners, investors, and consumers worldwide. It has provided several advantages for business operations, such as public relations and marketing, new customer experiences, and opportunities to acquire new clients.

 

Experts believe that the metaverse will help boost the country’s GDP through the digital economy by creating more jobs in the technology sector.

Just after the Moon landing when Pan-Am was booking flights to the Moon, to interest youngsters in space you could send a Post Cereal box top and a dollar and get an ownership certificate of 1 square inch of the Moon.

Mine was place of pride for a 10 years space nut of a boy

I thought that people were dumb to buy coins that do not exist.

Then there were pieces of art that do not exist.

But to 'invest' in land that does not exist? The lunatics are now running the asylum.

Its genetically inherited by many Thai males I think.

Warren Buffett called it all "rat poison" for a reason.

That's even worse then putting a house in a Thai woman's name.
Here at least, you can live until she kicks you out.

I have a house in my wife's name - never had an issue.

I made bank on NFT Worlds, bought 3 at 4 ETH each and sold at 14 ETH each.

 

Profit of about $90k.

 

Not bad for a couple of weeks' work.

 

I also bought an Azuki NFT at 7.4 ETH current value 30 ETH. Unrealised profit about $80k as they also airdropped me two beans which are worth about 4 ETH each.

 

Don't knock NFTs or the metaverse if you don't understand it. ????

It's about the risk of a Metaverse land price bubble and investors being warned about it.

However, I now own Park Place and whomever wants to cross my land or stand out front, no matter what Monopoly game they are playing will owe me royalty payments paid in swahili coin....

The Metaverse is  place where your Avatar in 3D form can go and do whatever it wants whilst at the same time you can sit behind a keyboard and post on TV. (Sort of)

Hope that helps.
