Okay, but what’s the end game? Do they think that things will shift to a distopian future where everyone lives in their metaverse?

Also, I find it ironic that you have a Reddit NFT which are all sitting at like a 10k floor right now, no?

ETA: TIL not all of the hexagon shaped avatars are NFTS

Eh? I got this reddit thing for free just from post karma. I wouldn't spend a dollar on reddit.

My best guess is that Meta wants to eventually becomes a large scale digital asset management company

I thought all of the cool shaped ones were avatars

TIL.

Also, I likely have enough karma for one where exactly did you get it free lol

Not even sure where it came from. Showed up in my notifications on my profile saying I've got access to a new avatar

They think there will be more interest in them in the future, as adoption increases. And that will drive more interest/demand.

So they're hoping by getting in early, they can be ready when the price spikes.

That's an exaggerated version, but yeah, more or less.
