    Mark CubanThe billionaire investor and owner of the Dallas Mavericks recently voiced his negative opinion about certain types of real estate.

    In an interview with the Altcoin Daily YouTube channel, Cuban called people buying properties on metaverse platforms such as Sandbox and Decentraland “the dumbest ever.”

    Cuban added that the metaverse real estate concept could be successful after a community has been formed around it, but would be useless if it was based on a traditional real estate approach before the concept was proven. . This billionaire sentiment comes at a time when the hype surrounding the digital universe seems to be fading away.

    The “Shark Tank” star owns physical assets, including a Dallas mansion he purchased in 1999 for $13 million and a $19 million mansion in Laguna Beach, California he purchased in 2018.

    but real estate ownership It’s not just for the wealthy. new company It made it possible for individual investors to enter the housing market. only $100. Here it is how to get started By acquiring individual shares in rental properties for passive income, build long-term wealth.

    Metaverse real estate isn’t doing well at the moment, but the idea of ​​the Metaverse as a new virtual world where people can shop, hang out, and play with others is still of interest to many.

    Companies such as Sandbox and Decentraland sell digital plots of land to users. Users can buy, sell, or lease space and use it to build virtual structures.

    In theory, the same two principles as physical real estate give value to land in the metaverse: rarity and location. However, it may not apply to metaverse lands, as rarity cannot be introduced artificially.
