Wonder what the guy who bought it for $277 is going to do? Sell it for $0.03?

I was looking for a really cheap entry into metaverse real estate. In line with buying 100 dogecoins (I'm up 7 cents!), or something. So far the cheapest thing I see is like $4k.

Presumably hacked and cleaned out. Or maybe actually a plot of virtual real estate in Sandbox next to some other guy without much sense. I honestly went to one of the first sites on the Google results and didn't vet anything before losing interest.

So, if you get a piece of real estate in Sandbox, what can you do with that real estate? Are you free to go there, stand butt naked, and jerk off all day? Or are there laws governing this type of behavior so the guy next door without much sense doesn't see you?

I guy I knew from college is the founder of Superworld, one of those metaverse real estate companies. He explained it to me basically saying that if you own the "property" you can put up signs or ads or i guess videos so that when people look at your property, they see it.

How it sounds to me: imagine looking at a place on google street view. It's a place, and people can look at it. Hey honey, I just bought the Gateway Arch! But you "own" the virtual image of that place. Hooray, amazing, sign me up.

Virtual real estate is a pretty sad concept IMO.

There's a whole world out there. Nature is interesting enough for me.
