The more times people use it as a hashtag.īut I DO want to talk about the Metaverse.

The more that people want to add it to their home page. So I've backed myself in a corner right out of the gate.īecause it seems like the more we talk about the Metaverse, the more chaos it can create. Who are fine with a demo video or a white paper on your token. How do I log in to the Metaverse? Usually asked by all the people who ask the first two questions.How do I invest in the Metaverse? Usually asked by someone wanting to make fast money with very little down.How do I get started in the Metaverse? Usually asked by a student or someone who's worried their job is about to be taken over by a robot.

There are serious, deep-pocketed and hugely ambitious (and defensive) companies going 'all-in' on their Metaverse strategies, whether Facebook, 'we're-a-real-world-not-a-dystopian-Metaverse-Niantic', Epic or, gosh, Microsoft (but for enterprise, duh).Īnd so with all of these serious people, and all of these super smart coders and developers and thinkers, and with all of these major enterprises putting their weight behind 'the Metaverse' (and I used the quotation marks quite pointedly), then why do I find it so hard to answer a few simple questions? There are serious thinkers who are wondering about the policy, privacy, cultural and social implications of sharing increasingly realistic digital environments which may or may not be able to track our every eye motion, chat or lustful stare across an avatar-filled room. There are serious people doing serious experiments and creating mind-blowing demonstrations of what true spatial interoperability will look like. There are serious people having very reasoned discussions about what the Metaverse actually is, how to define its boundaries and, as such, how to build the systems, standards and protocols to match that definition. We're living in the wild west (east, north and south).
