Cool. :-) They're apples and oranges. TVs are a rectangle usually across
the room. You watch it passively: the director of the production determines
the POV. With a VR headset, the experience is immersive: you're in a 3D
world and you can look in any direction and move in any direction. You
wouldn't use VR to watch a movie; you'd use it to play a game, take a
virtual tour of a historical site, visit a museum, etc.

It's probably possible to have multiple headsets, but they'd likely be
independent. Both people would be in the same world, but they'd look and
move independently. And they'd see each other as avatars--some rendering
that may or may not look anything like the person wearing the headset.

Can you easily exchange your bitcoin for regular money?

Sure, if you use an exchange like Coinbase. You tie it to your bank account
and can transfer to/from your Coinbase account.

Thanks again

Glad to help.
