Keanu Reeves is not a big fan of a metaverse developed by an IT giant hinting the concept presented by Facebook is too old for the modern world.

In an interview with The Verge, Reeves said the idea of the metaverse is "way older than" Facebook's Meta. He also revealed that his friend bought him cryptocurrency a "while back" but he prefers to hodl it. Reeves also laughed off the idea of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that can be "easily reproduced."

In November this year, Nifty's, a marketplace of NFTs, announced the sale of 100,000 unique avatars based on the Matrix universe in the form of NFTs. The avatars are made in a cooperation with Warner Bros. and Epic Games' MetaHuman Creator. In the first phase of the sale, users could buy the tokens with $50 for each NFT.

In the second phase, which is scheduled for Dec. 16, all buyers will be able to choose a "Blue Pill," which will keep their avatar in the Matrix, or a "Red Pill," which will transform the avatars into resistance fighters. It remains unclear though how the choice will impact the NFTs.
