Facebook isn’t “all talk” about the metaverse.Zuckerberg is actually taking his trillion-dollar social media empireand going “all in” with making it a metaverse company.\nThat is a trillion-dollar vote of confidence that the metaverse is the next evolution of social media, from the man who basically invented social media himself.\nI’m not sure you could get any more positive signals than that right there…\nAnd guess what? My team and I completely agree. We see the metaverse as the next trillion-dollar industry — and the emergence of it as the next big investment opportunity.\nOver the next decade, we’re going to go fromseeing the internet through screenstoimmersing in the internet through headsets.\nMost folks immediately think of gaming. And, yes, gaming will be a huge application of this transformation towards embodied internet. Instead of playing a game through a screen and with a controller, you’ll actually immerse yourself in that game by putting on a headset.\nBut that’s just the tip of iceberg of the economic opportunities here…\nThe metaverse will impact all things based on the internet.\nSocial media is going to change. Instead of scrolling through feeds of posts and videos on your phone, you’ll immerse yourself in a world where you can view those photos and videos in 3D and interact with the creators of that content.\nWork is going to change. Instead of working-from-home via Zoom meetings and Slack channels, you’ll put on a headset and plop yourself in a virtual office where all your colleagues are also working.\nSports are going to change. Instead of watching an NBA game on a TV screen, you’re going to be able to watch the game as if you were sitting courtside (yet you’ll still be on your couch).\nShopping is going to change. Instead of finding products on Amazon by clicking through pages on your computer screen, you’ll be able to visit a virtual mall, walk through that mall, try out products and services, and order exactly what you want.\nGet the point?\nThe metaverse isn’t just the future of gaming.It’s the future of the internet. And that’s why Zuckerberg is pivoting his trillion-dollar empire to the metaverse — he wants his company to control the metaverse of the future, and by extension, control the internet.\nScary thought. Yes. But I doubt Zuckerberg will be successful in creating the omnipotent metaverse he wants to create.\nThat’s because the creation of the metaverse is about more than virtualizing the real world — it’s about unlocking a whole new degree of freedom for consumers. It’s about allowing people to take on new identities, explore new interests, gain new influence, play new games, meet new people — it’s all about giving people more opportunities.\nAnd let’s be honest, Big Tech companies aren’t really about that. Facebook isn’t about that. They’re about making money. So, in order to monetize its metaverse, Facebook is going to overcrowd its metaverse with ads and promotional products that just don’t mesh with the underlying ethos of the metaverse.\nThe fix? Blockchain metaverses.\nBlockchain metaverses are decentralized metaverses that aren’t owned and operated by a central entity — but rather, are built on the blockchain and governed by stakeholders.\nTheir big advantage is they don’t have to make money via ads because they make money via the creation of a new cryptocurrency, and, therefore, these metaverses won’t be weighed down by ads and promotions.\nThey’ll be truly free.\nThat’s why we see blockchain metaverses as the real future here. In particular, we see one blockchain project as turning into the 400-pound-gorilla in this new trillion-dollar industry — and we just added that cryptocurrency to our ultra-exclusiveUltimate Cryptoportfolio (which, as of this writing, has an average gain of900%).\nCould thisnew crypto be our next 10X winner?

And, yes, gaming will be a huge application of this transformation towards embodied internet. Instead of playing a game through a screen and with a controller, you’ll actually immerse yourself in that game by putting on a headset.\nBut that’s just the tip of iceberg of the economic opportunities here…\nThe metaverse will impact all things based on the internet.\nSocial media is going to change. Instead of scrolling through feeds of posts and videos on your phone, you’ll immerse yourself in a world where you can view those photos and videos in 3D and interact with the creators of that content.\nWork is going to change. Instead of working-from-home via Zoom meetings and Slack channels, you’ll put on a headset and plop yourself in a virtual office where all your colleagues are also working.\nSports are going to change. Instead of watching an NBA game on a TV screen, you’re going to be able to watch the game as if you were sitting courtside (yet you’ll still be on your couch).\nShopping is going to change. Instead of finding products on Amazon by clicking through pages on your computer screen, you’ll be able to visit a virtual mall, walk through that mall, try out products and services, and order exactly what you want.\nGet the point?\nThe metaverse isn’t just the future of gaming.It’s the future of the internet. And that’s why Zuckerberg is pivoting his trillion-dollar empire to the metaverse — he wants his company to control the metaverse of the future, and by extension, control the internet.\nScary thought. Yes. But I doubt Zuckerberg will be successful in creating the omnipotent metaverse he wants to create.\nThat’s because the creation of the metaverse is about more than virtualizing the real world — it’s about unlocking a whole new degree of freedom for consumers. It’s about allowing people to take on new identities, explore new interests, gain new influence, play new games, meet new people — it’s all about giving people more opportunities.\nAnd let’s be honest, Big Tech companies aren’t really about that. Facebook isn’t about that. They’re about making money. So, in order to monetize its metaverse, Facebook is going to overcrowd its metaverse with ads and promotional products that just don’t mesh with the underlying ethos of the metaverse.\nThe fix? Blockchain metaverses.\nBlockchain metaverses are decentralized metaverses that aren’t owned and operated by a central entity — but rather, are built on the blockchain and governed by stakeholders.\nTheir big advantage is they don’t have to make money via ads because they make money via the creation of a new cryptocurrency, and, therefore, these metaverses won’t be weighed down by ads and promotions.\nThey’ll be truly free.\nThat’s why we see blockchain metaverses as the real future here. In particular, we see one blockchain project as turning into the 400-pound-gorilla in this new trillion-dollar industry — and we just added that cryptocurrency to our ultra-exclusiveUltimate Cryptoportfolio (which, as of this writing, has an average gain of900%).\nCould thisnew crypto be our next 10X winner? We think so.The fix? Blockchain metaverses.\nBlockchain metaverses are decentralized metaverses that aren’t owned and operated by a central entity — but rather, are built on the blockchain and governed by stakeholders.\nTheir big advantage is they don’t have to make money via ads because they make money via the creation of a new cryptocurrency, and, therefore, these metaverses won’t be weighed down by ads and promotions.\nThey’ll be truly free.\nThat’s why we see blockchain metaverses as the real future here.

We think so.The fix? Blockchain metaverses.\nBlockchain metaverses are decentralized metaverses that aren’t owned and operated by a central entity — but rather, are built on the blockchain and governed by stakeholders.\nTheir big advantage is they don’t have to make money via ads because they make money via the creation of a new cryptocurrency, and, therefore, these metaverses won’t be weighed down by ads and promotions.\nThey’ll be truly free.\nThat’s why we see blockchain metaverses as the real future here.
