The one true prediction about the future of technology is that the way we assign value to currency and possessions will drastically change in the next five years. As a kid growing up in the 90s, I remember fantasizing about flying cars, holograms and teleporting from the comfort of my living room in Valencia, Venezuela, to a canoe floating through the Venice canals in a matter of seconds. The desire of escaping one’s reality has always felt inevitably human, and also, what the initial founders of tech companies based their whole marketing strategies on - the idea of a world within a world. The Metaverse is meant to be this new world. A world where regular concepts such as real-estate, clothing, art and music, that we used to be able to visualize and touch, are now safely stored in a blockchain behind the screens of our devices. To have your entire world, literally, in the palm of your hand, is probably more than my wishful 9-year-old self asked for while I build up this imaginary future in my living room couch. However, it’ll certainly change how future generations think about money, possessions, value, virtual reality and their future.
