Is Metaverse still a thing

[arwin100]

I've heard of news not so long ago about Decentraland, one of the biggest and most funded metaverse projects out there having a measly daily active users of less than 40. On the other hand, Meta, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's answer to Metaverse has been receiving flak in multiple aspects of his still in-progress creation. I also noticed that less and less projects include implementation of their project or a fundamental of it in the Metaverse as a form of future-proof answer. So this begs the question, is Metaverse still the future? is it just a fever dream we once had that we are now waking up on?

Metaverse still have future but its long long way to go before we can see this fully implemented since there are many factors need to fix yet regarding some serious issues around it. For now we are not ready about it since as I notice many people just use it for just a show no platform yet successfully implement the full implementation of this idea and maybe we find it very hard to extract on real time which to be used by certain individuals. But let see what future could bring towards this and it seems discussions about metaverse has slowly pulling down maybe the interest of people slowdown about it.

This might take ages .. just like the internet.

Everyone underestimated any visioner projects like metaverse .. you know what? Because they cannot see it , they would believe it if only they can feel it by themselves and it takes a really really long way plus the proccess won't be that instant , i myself think that the metaverse could as big as internet along with blockchain technology in it.

It really seems to me to be all hype and nothing concrete. I'm still not sure what's the use of the "metaverse".

The actual use of it is an escape to the reality. There are people that have chosen to stay in the Metaverse rather than to commit their lives outside of it, in the real world.
From what I've read, there are some ways of surviving there and actual lives like you're really going to work inside of it. And I think we're going to that point someday that our virtual lives will have means of living and earning, working and socializing just like what we do in real life.

Facebook is been pushing forward the acceptance of meta into their platform. In fact, they are conducting some seminars in order to extract ideas on how this thing it works. I really appreciate their idea knowing that it is very important for people to clearly know the role of this in this new generation. Though couldn't pinpoint where this metaverse will go, however, I foresee the idea is acceptable to some people. Though not it hits the taste of everyone at least there are some who are willing to enjoy their life with this new technology.

Metaverse is still the future but to make that fully functional, it needs several years in the making. It's not something that you can see success overnight. We are not talking about a simple trend here as Metaverse is really different. There's hype about it but that's all. We can only see a fully Metaverse technology several years from now.

We don't know when though that's why minimize your expectation if you are just driven by the hype of it.

[trendcoin]

I think Metaverse technology has enormous potential. I don't see this technology as just a cryptocurrency integrated technology. For example, novice soldiers can be trained by performing very difficult military exercises in the Metaverse universe. For example, novice doctors can gain experience by performing very demanding surgeries in the Metaverse universe. I think we can extend these examples and apply them to many areas. That's why I think Metaverse technology is a very important thing, but its full use may take time. Its integrated use with cryptocurrency can be in the entertainment industry. I think such a possibility is more likely...

The meta isnt going anywhere until the basic problems with VR are solved.  Which they haven't been and remain exactly the same as when the last time the VR craze was pushed in the 90s

You cannot convince the unconscious brain that there isn't a screen a inch or two from its eyeballs.   Thus, generating unpleasant side effects for any long term usage.  These problems remain to this day. 

Elon Might solve it with neurolink.  15 years from now.  maybe

I like this answer, coz it is what's most reflective of what Metaverse is being portrayed as nowadays. During the pandemic most people see Metaverse as a viable option for face to face settings in schools, work, and the likes but as everything is slowly returning to the normal pace of things it has lost its old use-case and is now only being showcased as "another world apart from the tangible one" which doesn't really sit well considering how bad VR is shown in media. Just take for example Cyberpunk 2077, Blade Runner, and Black Mirror who are seriously against VR or at least sends a message that is indicative of their refusal to accept such future.

The problem is that metaverse is still game like, and that's not the end goal of it. The idea should be more like VR goggles worn by people going into a world made for meta, and should be as real looking as possible. This is why "ready player one" was talked about so much, and given example, because that is the end goal for it.

If you do not have that then I do not think that you could really expect people to care about it. Look at decentraland, how does it look to you? I could build something like that in 2 months, and for less than 10k dollars. If it's so simple then why should there be many players there? That's the main reason why meta hasn't gone mainstream just yet.

Well, it portrays differently depending on someone that sees the good and bad of it. If one is against on it, we can't change what he thinks about it. But the Metaverse is for sure going to stay there no matter how he/she dislikes it. There have been companies that have invested a lot of money there and we can't also deny that it's going to keep going unless the progress stops but that's most likely not going to happen. Those companies that have invested already can't stop from there and they have one thing in common, and that is to continue what they have started.

The concept of the metaverse does look futuristic and for the time being it may only be entertainment or an effective alternative under certain conditions. But looking at the negative side in the long term, maybe this is the initial process of shifting the role of humans being replaced by robots in all aspects of real life, especially the workspace. We currently see this is actually a social threat, but no one can deny the future and all have to live virtually.

Is Metaverse still a thing? The question sort of presupposed that it used to be. A question I'd ask is, Was Metaverse ever a thing?
It's not like it was something many were highly involved in, and then it died off. It wasn't really properly born yet, and maybe it never will be. So far, I don't think it has big chances of success. Maybe in the far future, in a different world. For now, we have plenty of connections between people via other means, and I don't see Metaverse as an answer. But I guess people couldn't imagine how big Facebook would become either. Maybe Zuckerberg can do it again.

At the beginning when we all hard about the Metaverse, we jumped into it with full force because it was really trending making more investors to go for projects that are attached to the metaverse which really makes it a trendy one. But I can see that some investors had heard enough of the Metaverse and they are now switching to something new or better this time around. I know the metaverse is broad and has so much to give out to the gaming world and lover of at to earn games which is very obvious. We just need to wait for the market to take a positive move so that we can really enjoy the metaverse a lots.

See the price of META in the stock market. It is going down. Even the investors don’t believe in META and quitting their positions… why would other people believe in it? META has no future and everybody knows it but Zuckerberg.

People tried to live in a fantasy land before it is nothing new. It did work for a while but it never lasts forever. People eventually get bored of it and people got bored of meta before even trying it out.

[Adbitco]

Do you know at this current time your might not know the effectiveness of Metaverse projects/coin, most of us seems to have all futures of it and thinking nothing much could be derived from it, I m well assured that as time goest the hidden parts of it will be unveiled and this might interest you to began to seek your attention, I have also come to understand that to have a solid project it takes time unlike bitcoin. Bitcoin have been for about 14 years so, and you can't just expect everyone to venture in Meta without them knowing about it futuristic benefits.

[rokok lokal]

While it's hard to see what a fully realized version of the metaverse would look like, I think the concept really does offer something that's missing at the moment. Imagine being able to visit a place where you can meet people and attend events regardless of geographic boundaries.

It is difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for the gain or loss of a single cryptocurrency. But overall my general view is, there will be a lot of hype in the crypto world and that could drive up the price. Although I don't see anything wrong with speculation as there are many stories about high-tech dreams that fail to meet consumer expectations realistically.

Maybe the time is not right or the technology is not that advanced for mass adoption. As an example, IoT is considered to be one of the best and ahead-of-time projects. Some things can be said for the metaverse. These projects are some early contributors to the development of the whole concept and they could be the leader of the ground when new companies emerge into the field.

Stocks are no different than crypto right now, all are going down and that doesn't mean the meta has failed, bitcoin's price drop and more investors leaving it doesn't mean bitcoin has failed. In the same way, when Defi first started, a lot of people doubted it would die like ICO, but now it is part of the market and is even becoming an important part of the market. I believe the metaverse is still a future because people's needs are simply increasing, they like new technologies to make life more interesting.
Interpol recently announced that they will also officially join the metaverse: https://www.euronews.com/next/2022/10/20/interpol-sets-up-its-own-metaverse-to-learn-how-to-police-the-virtual-world

We can't underestimate a project that is in the process of development and progression. In my opinion, Mark Zuckerberg will not fund a project for nothing. He still has lots of good plans for it though we can't deny the fact that improvements aren't visible right now but we can't question that because projects that are being developed these days are still having a hard time dealing with this bearish season. Metaverse still deserves to be given a chance to prove its real capability. It's just that everything is in a downtrend nowadays because of different occurrences.

No, I don't believe it's the future, but it will now be part of the crypto industry. That's what happens after a hype.
They stay, although not all eyes are in them anymore. Investors will be looking for a better feature, something fresh, a project that will be make the trend once again so they can make profits out of it in a short-term manner.
Just like ICO, and other old stuffs, they remain but not in the frontlines anymore.
