Crypto metaverses like Decentraland use Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) and token governance to help their users take control of the future of gaming. In this way, metaverses can become more than just a crypto game, as they can grow into entire societies with democratic economies and leadership. Bitcoin will play a big role in metaverse development based on government control of metaverse markets such as NFT and DEFI because BTC is mutually correlated with the market situation between ETH, SAND, MANA, and MATIC.

The concept of bitcoin is in some terms a traditional era. Bitcoin was designed to adopt with all this like forms of virtual concepts.
To mention also that "metaverse" will surely need a currency. Maybe it will have its own currency , although i see Bitcoin is the easiest to start with .

Bitcoin will be traded as digital gold in the metaverse, similar to the real world. After all, the metaverse is simply an extension of the real world within a digital realm. I imagine the Lightning Network will be of great use due to enabling cheap microtransactions.

Other coins will also have relevance, particularly if they confer benefits within a particular platform or ecosystem. I thus see multiple long-term winners among cryptocurrencies. Actually, there could be a lot of winners as cryptocurrencies and the metaverse go mainstream.

I think that the role of BTC within the metaverse will be very broad, there may be sites that are exclusive where very few people can enter and the requirement is to pay in BTC and everything is done under the domain of BTC, and it is very likely, because it is already he is talking about many developments of NFT games that have to do with tokens, but due to the high number of scams that have occurred, they can improve everything if it is done through BTC payments, of course, I am speculating, but it is the best option that metaverse nft games have to resurface, at least I see it that way.

dont think of it where it needs to be HD real life.
dont think of it as low-def 'ingame artifact purchases"

think of it as next-gen paypal, ebay, alibaba
instead a a 2d shopping market(ebay) you can have a 3d experience of a shopping market to buy things that get delivered to your physical house, without you leaving home

thats probably the only financial feature thing i can think of that makes it useful for people.
as for webmasters and developers. well instead of making webpages. they can now make 3d models to sell their 'product' to retailers
as for retailers. instead of paying google for adsense. they can buy ingame billlboards and posters on walls at online concerts to advertise their products

NFT's are pegged to ethereum.
NFT is not a currency, ether is the currency of NFT(current NFT ledger)

dont fear NFT its not a currency. its an asset

NFT is not even the main asset and ethereum is not the main currency of metaverse.

NFT is a sidechain of eth blockchain. but dont think of it as a threat to bitcoin over popularity

ethereum doesnt want every hash of every t-shirt/shoe design clogging up the ethereum network.. so they went with the sidechain for NFT hash data to go

there is nothing stopping there being a bitcoin sidechain that offers NFT,

heck there is nothing stopping bitcoin having a sidechain on from that where people can make satoshi payments for small things.
that side chain does not have to even be a genesis-infinty chain.
it could be instead a ball-and-chain:
imagine that at block 105,000 it takes a snapshot of the unspents of blocks 0-52,500. and hashes remaining utxos as a utxoset milestone ball of many utxo. and then prunes off the 0-52500 'chain'
then at block 157,500 it then gathers the utxo of 0-105,000 and makes them into a milestone ball. and prunes off 0-105,000

thus more like a heavy ball and chain(milestone block+small chain) instead of an infinite chain
that way people are not storing redundant data thats already spent from over a year ago
