What is a metaverse?
A metaverse is an environment where humans interact socially and economically as avatars in cyberspace, acting as a metaphor for the real world but without its physical or economic limitations.
The benefits of the metaverse?
The metaverse is an immersive virtual universe that replicates the physical world and in which you can interact with other people, objects and spaces. That is, it consists of a fictional world where there is a reality similar to real life.
Facebook metaverse?
It is the virtual universe of the future, in it we can interact with other people, buy, move and discover new environments, all through an avatar. There is a lot of talk about the metaverse and that in the future we will have a parallel life within it.
Things like attending a virtual concert, taking a trip through the internet, and buying and trying on digital clothes. The metaverse could also change remote work amid the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of seeing colleagues in the grid of a video call, employees could see them virtually
The metaverse and cryptocurrencies
The metaverse, a living space that blends the physical and the digital, is rapidly evolving from a sci-fi dream into a reality with limitless possibilities. A world where people can interact virtually, create and exchange digital assets for real-world value, own digital land, access digitized real-world products and services, and much more.
Land in virtual worlds, which are sold in the form of NFTs, are becoming increasingly popular.
They cannot be physically visited, but their appeal is that these assets are backed by forgery-proof certificates stored under blockchain technology.
Virtual real estate is not really a new concept. One of the first companies to enter the space was the Metaverse Group, which operates the Decentraland virtual platform.
But ever since Facebook changed its name to Meta, the idea has garnered enormous interest, with investors speculating about the effect it will have on various metaverses and their respective crypto tokens.
