I guess it depends. I don't see how the virtual world won't continue to grow and prosper. Items in video games have been sold for thousands for over 2 decades online. They in themselves have no "real" value, but they are sold for real life money for people that want them in their games. Impossible to predict the future, but if I had to bet it would be on this continuing. Covid kind of pushed us forward about a decade in terms of everyone working virtually, communicating virtually, etc...
