TECH - Things Everyone Can Have
I could never forget when someone here once said that blockchain just made the one thing that could not be expanded in the world now easy to create and sell.
Lands!
Of course, these weren't the exact words of the person, but this was pretty much the meaning. Blockchain games make lands appear so cheap and it's crazy when you think of it. Some nerd, someone in his mom's basement could just write up some lines of codes and the next thing he's a millionaire selling virtual properties to millions across the globe, effectively earning an army of people building their own custom virtual economies.
What's that popular saying again?
“Don't bet against technology”
God is probably up there like: these guys really built their own damn world and can't even realize that IT'S REAL.
Now I know some people are probably like: the land in these games don't exist, you cannot compare them to physical lands.
We confuse “valuable” with “physical” sometimes is what I'd say.
The problem, reading so many meanings to things that we miss the most important ones. As with lands, there's more to it than what is seen. With what is seen, we attach a monetary value, but there's something else, which is experience and this is not quantifiable as it is the “actual value” of a land.
The experience people get from a place is what makes that place.
Yes, that's a complete sentence, read it again.
So when you're selling a land space, you're essentially selling an experience. What that turns out to be really depends on what the land is used for. It could become a happy home, a bar, a restaurant, quite a lot there to be and at the end of the day, whatever it is, it gives off an experience.
The Metaverse Is The New World
The metaverse is definitely not something a lot of people around here love to hear people talk about and the reasons are frankly understandable.
The use of it as a marketing ploy has made it seem less worth the attention, but trust that it is or not and watch it happen anyways.
Maybe we should change the name? Labels always find ways to fuck things up.
The metaverse is happening and I can't help but feel that it might just be a technology that unlocks the most competitive and complex markets of all times.
There's probably hundreds of “whys” I could use to back that claim but I'll focus on one: the rise of open source product developments.
Dominance often comes when one has a formula that's not known to others, but what happens with a market vastly open that participants have to invest more in optimizing business experience?
I'll tell you what - high competition.
The metaverse is a blockchain-based product and blockchains are primarily, at least in the current markets, expected to be open source. This creates an environment where just about anyone can create something for themselves from the tech made available by others for use.
Some people don't get why this is so important but a couple steps back to look at how the world we've lived in this long will make us realize how important it is to invest in systems with fairer entry barriers.
The economic value of the world ought to be enjoyed by those who build it. This is what blockchain offers, this is what crypto powers, this is tech, and not to sound cliché but a shift in the world order is inevitable.
