By combining real and online worlds, the metaverse, says Facebook, will be \u201cthe next evolution in a long line of social technologies.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So this is why Facebook has been suggesting that people make all those cartoonish avatars of ourselves? Similar elements feature in Roblox and other online game concepts. Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/facebook-plans-hire-10000-eu-build-metaverse-2021-10-17\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook plans to hire<\/a> 10,000 people in Europe to help its proprietary metaverse get out in front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Allure of the Meta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook is one of the best-known tech firms banking on a future of online shopping malls, remote game nights, near-perfect digital concerts featuring real performers, places to meet and greet real people virtually, and ways to interact with friends and family wherever they are on the globe. Millennials and younger people, especially, could be hanging out often in these places. After all, the narrative goes, they are digital natives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The teens and twenty-somethings of Generation Z are bound to invest in a culture with both virtual and traditional real estate on offer, right? And, even before that stage, they\u2019ll be ordering virtual (and real) clothes, shoes, vehicles and houses. To do it all, they\u2019ll also be buying up the cryptocurrencies accepted on the various blockchain platforms where they choose to make their purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a digital-era mix of design, entertainment, interaction \u2014 and monetizing all of the above. The pandemic almost certainly helped propel this trend, as in-person meetings became difficult, and online social events became normalized. On cue, rappers and other celebrities are jumping onto the scene, making the metaverse all the more enticing for their followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About That Virtual Real Estate\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/about-that-virtual-real-estate.jpg\" alt=\"Image of what a virtual living room might look like in the metaverse.\" class=\"wp-image-1796\" width=\"272\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/about-that-virtual-real-estate.jpg 363w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/about-that-virtual-real-estate-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we arrive at the core of the matter. But what is it? Digitally designed real estate could be anything from undeveloped land to malls, mansions, arenas, studios, bars and hotels. Digital maps mark these venues in places like SuperWorld, Somnium Space, Cryptovoxels, Upland, the Sandbox, and, soon to come, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/metaverse-bet-crypto-rich-investors-snap-up-virtual-real-estate-2021-04-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Atari<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the Metaverse Group plans to introduce a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210929005122\/en\/Tokens.com-to-Purchase-a-50-Stake-in-Metaverse-Group-One-of-the-World%E2%80%99s-First-Virtual-Real-Estate-Companies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">metaverse-focused REIT<\/a> (real estate investment trust). The Canadian investment company <em>Tokens.com<\/em> is taking a 50% stake in its real estate shares in order to put the offering together. It\u2019s a serious deal with high financial stakes. The CEO of <em>Tokens.com,<\/em> Andrew Kiguel, formerly raised funds for traditional REITs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether regulators are ready to give the go-ahead is another question. We can expect queries about the risks inherent in virtual property deals that use real money and occur under pseudonyms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cVery, Very Big\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/deeds-reimagined-is-a-new-day-dawning-for-the-chain-of-title\/\">Digital real estate<\/a> is already a big deal. Looking back, the concept has pre-crypto forerunners, such as the property acquisitions on Second Life, produced by Linden Lab in 2003. It\u2019s the kind of game that appeals to our fantasies. In the online world, we can all have gorgeous homes with every feature we can imagine. We can finance more properties, collect rent if we wish, and do all the things with our virtual assets that traditional investors do. And, presumably, there aren\u2019t too many worries about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/can-a-homeowner-get-around-a-deed-restriction\/\">deed restrictions<\/a> and zoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchases are highly competitive at <a href=\"https:\/\/nonfungible.com\/market\/history\/decentraland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Decentraland<\/a>, a top platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. Investor buyers find virtual properties for sale on&nbsp;the platform\u2019s marketplace, where the parcels might fetch anywhere from a few thousand to a million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the metaverse is expected to become &#8220;very, very big.&#8221; This is the prediction of former Atari CEO Frederic Chesnais, who now heads up the company\u2019s blockchain segment.&nbsp;It\u2019s a fascinating interplay of art, digital design, and property. Still, you might ask: <em>Why buy pretend real estate?
