The Metaverse Was Always a Scam.
Remember when every big tech CEO promised that the metaverse would replace reality?
Even Facebook changed its name.
Billions poured into VR headsets, virtual land sales, and avatars. Yet here we are in 2025, and nobody is living in the metaverse.
Why...
- People never wanted to spend 8 hours in clunky headsets.
- Selling virtual land was just a Ponzi scheme with pixelated plots.
- Companies pushed the buzzword to pump stock prices, not to solve real problems (what problems?).
- AI, blockchain, and real-world apps outpaced the metaverse quickly.
The metaverse was never the future. It was just a $100B marketing bubble sold as innovation.
No one is considering metaverse tokens in their portfolio.
The metaverse didn’t fail because it was “too early.
It failed because it was never real in the first place.
They sold us virtual land but forgot to build the virtual city. That’s why the metaverse died.
