Over the past few quarters, Metaverse has evolved significantly, and the most astonishing fact is enthusiasts are purchasing virtual properties. However, the Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, advocates for technology much more than virtual reality.
Most recently, the renowned crypto mogul Vitalik Buterin said that the Metaverse is not what we think; he believes it is much more than that. Metaverse is a spatial computing platform that provides a digital experience as an alternative to or a replica of the existing world.
During the BUIDL Asia conference in Seoul, Buterin said, “The Metaverse is poorly defined and often seen more as a brand name than a product. It’s envisioned as a virtual universe where everyone can participate and is not owned by anyone,” he adds “It’s frequently associated with virtual reality, where needs are simpler, akin to wanting a laptop without the laptop.”
Ethereum’s co-founder urges that the Metaverse is usually termed a virtual reality; however, it is the be-all and end-all of the Metaverse. He further highlights, “It’s super useful but not really a-verse.”
As per the concluding statement of Buterin, for the smooth and desired function of Metaverse, the world requires something that combines “all the different virtual world elements we already have, including crypto, virtual reality, and some AI parts, in the right way.”
