元宇宙炒房，彻底凉了？林俊杰回应“踩雷”（朗读版）|E0412

▍原文

The world’s largest metaverse real estate sales platform, Decentraland, has experienced a significant drop in the average transaction price, from $45 in 2022 to $5, representing a decrease of almost 90%.

JJ Lin, a Singaporean singer, purchased three pieces of virtual real estate in Decentraland for $123,000 in 2021. 

However, the current value of these properties is estimated to be only about $10,000.
