Metaverse Tokens are PUMPING: MANA and SAND Still on the Rise

Remember last year when we thought Decentraland was dead? Well think again, buddy! The metaverse is getting more attention than ever before, as the tokens for Decentraland (MANA) and The Sandbox (SAND) have seen a significant increase over the weekend.

It seems that virtual worlds are becoming the new trend in the crypto sphere, and investors are taking notice.

MANA reached a peak of $0.8068 and SAND a peak of $0.801, showing that the metaverse has some serious potential for business. With digital real estate, events, and branding opportunities, the metaverse is not just a fun place to visit, but a smart investment as well.

This rise comes as no surprise, as Decentraland and The Sandbox have been making big moves in the virtual world, with Decentraland releasing a new sub-project called Decentraland Worlds and The Sandbox launching the official Puss in Boots Experience. These virtual worlds are constantly evolving, providing users with new and exciting experiences.

If only my real life was as exciting as my metaverse life. 

So, the rise in MANA and SAND proves that physical investors are getting more interested in the web3 universe. The metaverse is definitely the place to be in 2023, and Decentraland and The Sandbox are leading the charge.

So pack your bags and get ready to join the metaverse party, because it's only just getting started!

National Geographic NFTs Turn Into a National Failure

Much like the Porsche disaster, National Geographic's foray into NFTs was doomed from the get-go. They attempted to showcase their best photos in the form of NFTs, but things quickly went awry.

Firstly, the company faced backlash for promoting Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs. We degens know that we have to be skeptical of scammers in this space, and promoting BAYC had us all feeling a little suspish.

Secondly, there were technical problems with the Snowcrash platform used for minting their Genesis NFTs. Customers went into full Karen mode, voicing their complains about trades only taking place on one platform.

The community was not pleased.

So reader, if you are a company entering the web3 world - think about how NFT stans will react to your move.

National Geographic's NFT experience serves as a cautionary tale on the importance of communication and transparency in adopting new technology.
