19、。其中一些预测现在看起来像科幻小说，但几乎所有的现代发明都曾如此。1.数字“房地产”兴起1985年以来一直有公司和个人购买网域，然后在所购买的网域创建自己的2D网站。那么，元宇宙将如何改变这一观念呢？在不久的将来，各个公司将会（有的已經）在元宇宙购买房地产。实际上，元宇宙中的一些房地产如今正以数百万美元的价格出售。许多人在元宇宙购买“房地产”作为投资手段。从根本上说，买家是在投资某个元宇宙的未来，就像投资某种加密货币。好比现实世界中，人们会在他们认为未来将繁荣发展的地区和城市购买房地产。跟现实生活中一样，有些“土地所有者”会在他们的“土地”上建造各类建筑物，有些则会把他们的土地/建筑物出租给租

20、户或广告商。其中许多地块将用于商品销售，有些实际上还建有“实体”商店，人们可以“瞬移”到那里购物。2.电子商务将与实体商业融合过去几十年，电子商务发展迅猛。值得注意的是，过去这几年，电子商务绝对人气爆棚。尤其在新冠疫情封控期间，很难想象不能网购会是什么样。2022年6月，全球电子商务网站30天内的访问量达到了220亿次。作为电子商务和实体购物的结合，各个公司将在元宇宙中打造他们的“实体”商店。公司也可以花钱请开发者（类似“建筑工人”）帮他们搭建商店。元宇宙热门地区（“市集”“商场”或“市中心”）的客流量大，位于这些地区的“房地产”显然会更加昂贵。不久的将来，你可以舒舒服服地待在家中，走进元宇宙

21、上千万家“实体”店中的一家。接待你的要么是3D人工智能店员，要么是以各自独特的虚拟形象（可能穿戴着他们自己购买的衣服和配饰）出现的真实人类店员。接下来，你就可以在店里四处“逛逛”，看看展示不同产品的陈列展台和时装模特。你可以试用并购买各类产品，这些产品将在现实世界中配送给你。这些商店销售的许多产品（你的虚拟形象穿的衣服、艺术品、土地、车辆、房屋等）也可能仅仅作为元宇宙中的资产存在，它们可充当非同质化代币。3.加密货币在元宇宙中将占据主流想来一场国际元宇宙购物狂欢，最简单、最方便、最便宜的方式就是使用加密货币。你去的任何一家商店都可以使用加密货币，无论该公司总部位于哪个国家。有了加密货币，你不用

22、支付任何国际通话费用或交易费用，而且元宇宙的大多数商店都将接受所有主流加密货币。现在每个主流的元宇宙都有自己的本地加密货币，用于购买该元宇宙内的任何东西。每个元宇宙的加密货币的价值会随着该地的受欢迎程度而相应波动，这也是一种投资机会。元宇宙发展得越好，该地的加密货币就越值钱。4.广告将大举进入元宇宙在元宇宙中，广告既会出现在建筑物、街道和广告牌上，也会出现在首映式或音乐会等大众活动中。广告主体既可以是只存在于现实世界的产品，也可以是只存在于元宇宙的产品。此外，企业将在元宇宙中嵌入与现实生活中的建筑相似的“实体”建筑。这些建筑所起到的作用不仅是让人们想到他们的产品，还让人们能够从他们的元宇宙商店购买产品（就像从他们的网站购物）。5.具有无限容量和奇幻特效的音乐会等活动特拉维斯斯科特、爱莉安娜格兰德、贾斯汀比伯和DJ棉花糖等艺人都已在元宇宙举办过了演唱会，“出席人数”打破了纪录。在元宇宙中，表演者的虚拟形象可
