what is metaverse crypto?

Every morning, I get up with a new day to look forward to. I check my emails, texts, and Twitter feed but nothing gets me going. I ignore everything until I hear a surprising notification, or get another email, which brings me right back into where I left off yesterday. I try to read my phone out loud to myself, but when I look down at my phone, I don’t see words I can decode. It’s odd, but most modern phones these days have an off switch. Before they were Nines, phone interfaces were huge – 5.9 inches on iPhone 6S (and 5.9), 6S Pro, iPhone SE, S5 – and the only way to use it on the phone was to power it on and off to see what I could get out of it. So much so that, until people got attention spans to the atomic scale, people used all sorts of tools to block “distraction” devices off, thinking this was better than an actual interest in things that didn’t matter in our lives. However, now the next generation of phones on the market run iPhoneOS, which are so tiny and require a deep button to power on that, if you’re not careful, you could become nearly invisible, sleep at the phone, walk around with it, walk into a light-rain of notifications that are all about being touched. Even Microsoft went a level back to the browser and browser apps, so your hands and the keyboard are kind of your only way to interact with your phone. This isn’t a sound remedy for a soon-to-be grey-matter-less philosophy of life, which is an almost secondary concept in most people’s day-to-day practices.


So what is the metaverse?


The Metaverse is a bunch of short video clips, presented in a way that’s…but…fitting. After all, everyone gets those same video links of someone reading they're a** off about something now and then. Before I heard about YouTube and short-form video, I’d never even heard of video clips – or now that I hear of them, it’s almost as though it’s another way of showing a video. So yeah, you’re getting the idea.


But there’s something subtle to the video clips, something that’s saying “You can’t understand this or focus on the primary objective of this video – figure out the primary objective of this video or find it; the point of this video is to share it with you, here’s why we must be all sharing it with you.”


And that’s probably what’s so great about this, because…while the devices that are individually connected to our phones are smart, and help us keep us from falling completely back into our daily routines of doing the same things over and over, the metaverse is a platform for connecting people. As we move from smartphones and into our days, we’re increasingly finding ourselves on crowded city streets like you’d find yourself almost in a huge metropolitan center of the world like NYC; in ten years, we’ll be walking out of our cities like everyone else. In such crowded places, the Metaverse helps open a window of some ability of the other person to understand what they see in this piece.


This is something that didn’t exist in the pre-device days of smartphones. You could probably imagine your friend walking down the street, but like today, you don’t know your friend very well — right now, he can’t do anything about the fact that he’s on a busy street without anyone watching. But when you make a video with them in it, you can enjoy the excitement of seeing something new or having them give you their thoughts. You watch a video of your friend, right then, just like when you’re typing “do not disturb me” with a tea kettle. You just enjoy the fact that you’re getting a new person into your day. And the level of the delight of someone’s thoughts in mind seems to be inherently a high moment to see them (and, of course, you getting their thoughts in your mind!). The Metaverse is an area that has not been conquered yet, but one that we’ll undoubtedly get good at some time, with the technology that’s coming along.
