Are virtual worlds worth the hype?

Does FOMO drive the current VR hype? If crypto history tells us anything, it’s that every boom must be carefully navigated, or you can burn your hands. Bot every project out there is going to turn into a multi-million-dollar opportunity. Caution is the prerequisite to NFT investing in 2021.

Only the future can unfold the rightful trajectory of metaverses. But for today, metaverses are providing just the perfect escape from reality.

Currently, most of the famous virtual worlds are out of the reach of newcomers. Out of the above three projects, only Next Earth has the potential to welcome beginners. It is still affordable, has suitable virtual land parcels, and also promises excellent solutions. Thus, other virtual land trains may have left the station, but Next Earth is still taking bookings.
