Lmao. It's stupid and I don't see how it's going to work. How many people that cut their children's hair to save money are going to buy into virtual haircuts? Lol.

Zuckerberg is a case of an elite dumbass surrounded by yes men where everyone in the room has so much money they can't fathom the idea of needing to choose what to spend it on. In their world, you simply buy everything you want.

I think it would be neat to see an attempt at it though. I would love to go into a VR world where I could see how many people are wearing the default clothes and haircuts vs people paying for virtual goods.

Is a virtual suit tax deductible? Imagine creating a virtual clothing manufacturer in a tax haven and having your US company buy $2k virtual suits for the entire staff. That's instant profit shifting and tax avoidance.

Would they have IP protections for virtual goods? Who owns a plain black tee shirt in VR? What's the difference between a designer purse and a knockoff in VR? Will people inspect my avatar to make sure I'm wearing genuine Calvin Klein (TM) (C) (NFT) underwear?
