Why Millions are Choosing Virtual Residency

As a kid, I remember being engrossed in my pixelated GameBoy, convinced I was journeying alongside Ash Ketchum in the Pokémon. Fast-forward a couple of decades, and the lines between reality and virtuality have blurred even further. The pixelated Pokémon adventures have transformed into expansive, hyper-realistic digital universes where people aren’t just playing — they’re living. This digital transition is what many are calling “The Great Meta Migration.” And as it turns out, I’m one of the migrants. As I tap into my VR headset and log into my virtual abode, I’m greeted by my digital pet — a vibrant phoenix that wouldn’t exist in the biological confines of our Earth. My neighbors include an AI barista who makes the perfect cup of digital coffee and a close friend from Australia whom I’ve never met. This is my digital reality — a choice I have made with millions. But what’s compelling this massive shift to virtual residency? In the Metaverse, gravity is just a suggestion. Water can flow upwards, mountains can float, and unicorns are real.
