Fortnite founder Tim Sweeney in a tweet noted that non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the metaverse market have potential but are far too speculative for stepping into just yet. Sweeney made the remarks in response to a <a href="https://metaversed.net/Into-The-Void-Where-Crypto-Meets-The-Metaverse-263f1ff8c13c455ea472f5689e01acaa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blog</a> titled "<strong>Into The Void: Where Crypto Meets The Metaverse</strong>." It is a text written by blockchain consulting, research, and investment firm Delphi Digital partner Piers Kicks. The essay highlights how new digital currencies based on blockchain and in-game economies have massive possibilities.
<h2><strong>Fortnite Founder Finds NFT Market Speculative</strong></h2>
Sweeney praised the article and admitted that blockchain and <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/enjin-and-metaverseme-partner-to-merge-nfts-with-augmented-reality/">NFT technology</a> have massive potential. However, he also criticized the crypto market. According to him, the NFT market goes in a different direction as there is more speculation than any real value in it.

The article dives into the history of digital connectivity and in-game economies. It argues that blockchain-based metaverses will not be a simple improvement over previous virtual experiences, but will instead mark the start of a new human epoch:

<i>“In the coming decades, a new era of virtual existence will be ushered in marking our next great milestone as a networked species.”</i>
<h2><strong>Mark Cuban Released Personal NFTs</strong></h2>
It's exciting to see recognition of the potential of blockchain-based technologies from the founder of Fortnite, a leading pioneer within the game industry and beyond.

Meanwhile, Sweeney isn’t the only major entrepreneur to talk about NFTs in recent weeks. A few days ago, Mark Cuban released a series of 10 NFT animations of him dancing. They were all sold out within hours. This only reveals that Cuban is slowly starting to invest in the blockchain market.

At a similar time, Cuban also said in a TV interview that NFT prices are overpriced due to its lower interest rates. This only indicates that his interest in the NFT market might be only exploratory.
