Hey Friends - This post was almost as slippery as the Ethereum posts and for similar reasons - the Metaverse is such a broad and vague term that it is difficult to talk about clearly. I’m overall pretty pleased with where it landed. Snow Crash was one of my favorite novels when I first read it in high school and is still one of my favorites to this day. It is astonishingly prescient and very fun. The vision it paints of the future felt outlandish but coherent in the nineties. Each passing year it seems less like a fever dream and more like a prophecy.
These were some great thoughts on the abstract nature or definition of the Metaverse, but for the uninitiated I'd love to hear your thoughts on what can be done in the Metaverse concretely.
The best example I have in my head is there could exist a digital economy for anything, currency in a game, rewards points at a retailer, etc which have their own value made liquid via crypto tokens and stable coins. I find these examples boring and uninspired. What do you think the practical applications of the Metaverse are?
