The "metaverse" is something we've been thinking looking into in recent months.
But I haven't tweeted about it at all until now.
Respectfully, I think there is something substantive to the "metaverse", and that it's more than merely "rebranding the internet to sell things"

Is there hype/fluff with respect to "metaverse"? No question... just as there is when there is something new and growing.
However, here's what we currently believe "metaverse" is truly about:
it's the stepping stone to a VR based world.

VR is where capital has historically gone to burn. There's a lot of "sunk cost" / investor losses in VR land.
The world, outside niche (albeit growing) areas, is not ready for VR.
Metaverse is an intermediary step.
There are some likely catalysts in the next 12-16 months.

Look at the Venn diagram of
VR people
and
Metaverse people
it's almost a 100% overlapping circle.
Not a coincidence.

Sentiment with respect to VR is abysmal (where capital has gone to die). Sentiment around "metaverse" is anything but abysmal. Yet they're the same, if not converging to the same point...
The apparent pessimism is notable, given a likely catalyst in 2022.

Keep it simple:
Metaverse = VR, rebranded.

see my "venn diagram" tweet. It's not a coincidence that Facebook is hyping metaverse. They are now several generations into development of VR headsets, and seeing that metaverse bridges between the here/now and the future of VR mass adoption

Sorry @BreakoutPoint , i will add addendum to original thread:
The least inspiring + interesting company made the most noise (yesterday), about all this, so I totally get the fintwit 😡 reaction.
OTOH, some of the more interesting companies? Rare mentions.

Suckerberg is evidently afraid, and trying to “Front run” some other operators… which makes me think:
We’re the “first movers” of “the Internet” necessarily the winners?
