Quick intro

There are many definitions & interpretations of what the Metaverse is. One thing is for certain, the Metaverse DOES NOT EXIST, yet. What I can predict is that the time looking down our screens is quickly coming to an end. How we experience content and interact digitally with other humans & objects is going to change forever. The experience is just one part of the story though.

The internet of ownership is unfolding and its going to enable human beings to create, own & exchange value in unprecedented ways.
