JAKARTA - Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy (Menparekraf) Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno admitted that he had canceled his intentions for his wife, Nur Asia Uno, a bag from the Gucci brand on Metaverse.

Sandiaga Uno when he was present as a speaker at the ATx Summit 2022 themed Unpacking The Metaverse admitted that he had personal experience with Metaverse.

He canceled buying his wife a bag from the Gucci brand on Metaverse because his wife prefers to buy a real bag or not a digital bag.

"This means that we still need time to accept this, although, in the end, I did buy a bag for my wife but from local products made from woven fabrics to support the Proud Made in Indonesia Program," said Sandiaga, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, May 31.

Regarding the development of Metaverse, the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy stated that he was not unsure, but he reminded everyone to be more careful because there is an aspect of euphoria, such as during the crypto phenomenon.

According to the Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, in the future, the potential of Metaverse must be seen in the efforts to improve the welfare of the people and open up job opportunities for the community.

"If we are all euphoric, like yesterday's crypto, where layoffs occurred, it could also happen in Metaverse. We must remind each other, to be careful but remain optimistic, that should be the point we underline," he said.

Sandiaga at the same time reminded the public to remain careful with all the euphoria, including crypto investments and the like.

“I don't have crypto in my portfolio, but I am considered 'old school', old school, and it turns out that with crypto conditions like this, many appreciate my advice that we must be careful if we want to invest in crypto, so don't be too big maybe above 1 -2 percent of the total portfolio owned," said Sandiaga.
