The part in the video saying what's to stop anyone else from making an Earth 3 is interesting.
The first I heard about Earth 2 was on a Facebook ad, months ago (way before it started making the rounds on social media). Several people in the comments were suggesting it's an iffy looking platform, but most were replying along the lines of "Of course I bought in. I missed out on crypto currency and if there is a chance my $100 will become a million, I don't want to miss out again."
There have been at least 10+ other games/apps I personally played that essentially let you "own" digital clones of real-world things. I remember owning Disneyland in an iPhone game, and Taylor Swift on a website over 10 years ago. I always saw those as games though, not investments.
People have a terribly skewed perspective on value. We will likely be seeing a lot more of this though, with the media popularity of NFT/crypto. People have gotten the impression you can generate huge amounts of money on assets with no intrinsic value. Which to be fair you can at times, but they don't show you the thousands of people who get obliterated on the other side of the equation.
