I didn't believe in the Metaverse when William Gibson or Neal Stephenson wrote about it, when people were selling virtual office space in virtual malls, when it was called SIM CITY or SECOND LIFE, and I don't believe in it now.

You don't have to believe in it yourself but mass advertising and hype through mainstream channels with nearly unlimited marketing budget will convince the masses to buy into it and sooner or later you will be the odd one out and be forced to join into it.

Probably I'll be forced into and then be the odd one out as a result, if not regardless.

My thoughts exactly. I literally do not see a difference except how the data integrity is verified. Maybe someone can clue me in?

It comes with native support for blockchains, crypto and nfc. (web3?)

That enables easy access to vertically and horizontally integrated SaaS opportunities (scam as a service).
