I've been trying out @virtuals_io for the last month for the Virgens points system. Here are my honest takes:

General thoughts

- You need a decent chunk of capital to get started and for it to be worthwhile.

- I played around with a few different account sizes and taking bigger swings is more worth it.

Good

- The seller jail is actually really good for the projects. Even after unstaking, you need 14 days to get the tokens. Lots of "rails" to maintain loyalty.

- The virtuals team keeps bringing twists on existing meta's and +1s it while shipping fast.

Bad

- Website performance is terrible. Things are slow, transactions keep failing, things are not displaying properly. Had similar issues before and it's still a struggle.

- The allocations for low points is not super useful, why would anyone want to invest 4 cents to make $1 and then go to jail for selling $1 lol

- Holding seems like it's not really worthwhile vs just trading for points, yapping, and holding everything to jeet once you get ROI.

Is it good for making money?

- You're probably too late now..? Feels like a house of cards atm.

- I'd recommend at least 5k-10k if you want to take it seriously.

What I'd recommend

- It's going to be about content acquisition and why someone should launch on virtuals vs somewhere else. I actually think Virtuals is better than believe.

- I think them getting out of the AI agent vapourware wave will be useful. It's actually a pretty fun gamification on presales in general.

- Get web2 talent to come build using the attention + capital that the platform can generate.
