Metaverse - Wait a minute?

[Croin]

Hey guys!

the Metaverse announced by the Reptiloid Mark Zuckerberg  doesn't exists in any form right now? Correct?
What exists are fully independet projects, like Decentraland.

All in all they have nothing to do with Facebook Meta and are simply standalone "games" which try to profit from the hype?
Isn't metaverse simply used here in the context of "sandbox game" or "open world"?

Or am I missing a link?

Thank you guys!

Well, it's just an umbrella term to describe anything that is hosted on the blockchain that allows for mass modal interactions.

So all of the projects that you have mentioned are indeed metaverse projects. There is no central metaverse that is the be all and end all.

Meta/FB is simply trying to get that first mover advantage with the branding and the name change right now.

Thank you for the clarification!

I don't see a sense in buying property in "the sandbox" or "decentraland", just standalone project. Might hype might not.
I hope Meta will actually make "the one world" and projects which will enable the interacation between (maybe other metaverses) or simply virtual goods will pump.
Doubt this early projects will hold for long, just by pushing their own worlds.

Like back in the early days with SecondWorld - one world made sense to invest.

True but the hype is literally about nothing. The ppl I've a feeling don't even get this.
Like ICO moon ...

It doesn't exist in any form at least not for this time. correct.

META facebook will be fully independent like decentraland. Any companies will have their own virtual world.

All in all they have nothing to do with Facebook Meta and are simply standalone "games" which try to profit from the hype?

Open world with economic implementation in the virtual world.

Did you understand what mean of metaverse? i guess if you understand about this and you can have a small insight about that.

Every project is building its own metaverse. Decentraland has its own metaverse, the same in the case of sandbox, even Shiba Inu is building its own metaverse. What comes to Meta, they have not had a metaverse yet. I think that in their context, metaverse will mean a big platform where people will be able to come and communicate, watch advertisment, organise meetings and appointments.

Its Mr. Zuck who is trying to profit from the hype, not the other way round. Metaverse as a concept is about owning digital goods with blockchain linked identities and interacting in a virtual environment using avatars. Beyond that there hasn't been much development as far as decentraland and sanbox are concerned. They are just blockchain versions of games like Second Life or even minecraft.

The "Metaverse", for the time being, is really just a farce.

[blockman]

Before he has announced about Meta and metaverse feature for that company. There's already existing projects that have been focused in the metaverse.
It all started with his project about Libra and then it isn't launched. Then goes the meta/metaverse announcement and still there's still a development that has been happening.
We don't know when it will be launched but Metaverse has already been there even without Facebook's Meta hype.

Yeah got it!
But honestly Second Life delivered much more and is already 20years old.
Looks like pure crap to me (Decentraland & Sandbox)

It seems to me that this is too loud a name for projects that want to rise to the top under this slogan, the metaverse must be something connected with VR reality so that players plunge into the world in a new way, and I see many projects talking loudly about it, but do not correspond to this term, maybe I want a lot, but still this is my subjective opinion.

Yeah, I imagine the metaverse the same way when you can dive into this alternative reality and investigate it, interact with things and other people. Actually, no project has reached this yet, but there are a lot of them which are working on it, so I think that it will be available soon. On the other hand, decentraland, for example, has already had its world were you can find advertisement of different companies, organise appointments and just investigate.

You can't compare decentraland with Facebook meta because one is decentralized and the other is centralised, I read on news weeks back where someone said meta will be a threat for humans, this person described meta aka Facebook as a remote to control humans, it's like giving all control to one man which is a bad idea

Your definition seems wrong. Metaverse exist before blockchain was invented. It was started using on sci-fi film which is related to virtual reality. New project just introduced the Metaverse concept on there project to make a hype just like DeFi when it started to introduced. Anything that has its own self sustaining ecosystem with virtual reality concept can be considered as Metaverse with or without blockchain involved. Crypto is the one who used it but definitely its not started by the crypto project like Mana and Sand.

I believe this could help...

Metaverse is getting started to get more attention to the community and this probably creates hypes someday.
Many people will think that this will fail but I guess not. It was clearly a decentralized project and it seems the application to the community seems very useful to everyone at this time as blockchain technology development continues. I think we have to welcome this artwork and let metaverse projects show what it can do to us.

Another attempt by the sly Zuckerberg to make money on hype. He has already launched projects in the wake of the hype around the cryptocurrency, but nothing came of it. He can only do some kind of scam or merge all your data into the network, but he will not succeed in something worthy, the wrong person.

[jeungo]

The general term Meta, is not unifying everything that is with such a name, although it is close in meaning. Fundamentally, if Mark made his blockchain, and opened mining, his Meta Universe, it would be a bomb for the market and the promotion of many projects.I would like to receive bonuses from the creators if they decide to implement my idea.

I think facebook just named their company Meta now and that does not have much to do with the metaverse projects on the blockchain at the moment, maybe it is a hint that facebook wants to go in that direction in the future but as far as i know there is nothing confirmed about that yet. I define a metaverse as an alternative universe that is not the reality, but where real brands and people and other goods can be traded or viewed etc. For example a big company could buy real estate within a metaverse and there it could advertise their new products to everyone that is visiting that metaverse and therefore maybe increase their sales in reality.

I don't know exactly time will tell and, as they say, will put everything in its place. In my opinion, this is a very interesting fusion of the real and virtual worlds. And I think it has the right to develop qualitatively.

For the first time, Metaverse will be more widely adopted by gamers, given the trend of playing games during the pandemic soaring significantly in various countries. In addition, gaming activities also have high exposure to the virtual world.
