I choked on my breakfast beer (Yes, again. I must get myself a bib) when I read over at MediaPost that “Brands Ride High in the Metaverse.” Amongst those listed is Gucci, who launched its first NFT in May 2021, and a virtual replica of the Gucci Dionysus bag sold for more than $4,000 on gaming platform Roblox. Proving how fucked up everything is becoming, you can actually buy the real thing for $3,400! Or, if you live in New York you can pop down to Canal Street in China Town and get an actual replica Gucci for fifty bucks. That’s where I used to go to buy all my fifty buck Rolex's.
Better yet... Twenty bucks!!!
