He stresses that cryptocurrency, designed for the digital realm, solves problems of security and e-commerce that were not originally considered in the inception of the internet. The speaker discusses the potential integration of blockchain and cryptocurrency in the development of the metaverse over the coming decades, highlighting the need for decentralized systems in contrast to existing closed-loop systems controlled by tech giants. He anticipates a shift towards data control, immutability, and privacy in a future where blockchain technology is more widely adopted.

**Detailed Article:**
The speaker starts by acknowledging the distractions in the crypto space, including market volatility, regulatory issues, and hype around specific projects like Coinbase, Terra, Luna, and UST. He emphasizes the importance of staying grounded in the core principles of blockchain and cryptocurrency. Drawing parallels with successful tech leaders like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, he highlights the necessity for continued development and innovation in the crypto space.

Discussing the evolution of the internet, the speaker explains how blockchain addresses the security aspect that was lacking in the early stages of the internet. He describes blockchain as a decentralized ledger system that ensures data security and irreversibility. Additionally, he touches on the role of cryptocurrencies in enabling e-commerce within the digital realm, providing a means of transaction without third-party involvement.

The metaverse is all hype in my opinion. There’s not enough plebs to sit with headsets on holding the bags of the rich people for it to be anything feasible. I’m hoping it takes 30 or more years to catch on but sadly I don’t think it will take that long.

it is amazing to think of the metaverse and what it would look like. It has this vibes of science fiction all over it. 

It makes total sense for cryptocurrency to be the running operating system of the metaverse. I have one question though. Given the volatility of cryptocurrency and the fact that it's stability depends on human behavior, wouldn't that be a redflag for the metaverse?

I think IOTA may play a big part in Metaverse.

I am not sure if we can compare current situation to Dot Com bubble, but I am sure some projects will come out of this even stronger.

Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?

I think the metaverse is way too overhyped ever since Facebook changed its name to Meta. Over time, I do think technology will provide more solutions and I have no idea what that will look like. There will probably be a lot of failures in that as well before a good successful system takes out so looking at the technology is better.

Hank from Breaking Bad!?

Metaverse has over the last few weeks received so much hype.

I agree:
>We see a great deal of hype over the Metaverse. 

Lots of hype.
Perhaps we are living in the Pre-metaverse and we are evolving into it.

>However, we are going to steadily move in that direction.

Agreed.
 
I think Zuckerberg would like to build it on FaceBook and control it, but I think it's an evolving concept occurring everywhere and small seeds are planted, some wither and die, some sprout and flourish.

People are overhyping it as it stands.
And as regards to what you talked about, that was a beautiful piece
The whole digital world is interconnected anyway

!PIZZA
!PGM

> My view is that people are hyping the Metaverse when it is a long way off.

Maybe even overhyping it. Sometimes people tend to do that. And they often have much higher expectations than the end result. And they become disappointed because of this. For example about a video game.

When the trailer, the developers and the audience overhype a video game, but when the game releases, it does not meet the expectations of the players, and they become disappointed. Maybe even angry. Mostly towards the developers. And this is understandable. Especially if they pre-ordered the game in the huge hype.

For example Cyberpunk 2077 (2020). Some people say that this video game is the most overhyped video game in the previous 18 years.

Probably this is the most common case of overhyping.

How interesting😱
