@atomicpoet not quite... It was suckerberg's attempt to redefine the word into something he can monetize (and is continuing)... The actual Metaverse is a collective word for all the 3d social virtual world platforms over the past 30 years. As tech advances there are some who are too young to know like suckerberg and are trying to say web3 with crypto and nfts (huge fail and misinformation) are the metaverse. Most of the 3d social be platforms with virtual economies do not use crypto or nuts and do not plan to anytime soon. The dev focus is on new interoperability standards and new gpu tech and VR/ar integration... Not the modern metaverse ecosystem young uninformed entrepreneurs who have not done their homework envisioned. I've been working in the real Metaverse over 25 years. There is only one.
