What is the Metaverse?
This discussion dives into the foundations and future of the metaverse, starting with the core role of NFTs and their impact on ownership, identity, and access in digital spaces. NFTs are described not just as collectibles, but as programmable assets that can serve as keys to communities, events, or real-world experiences. As the metaverse continues to expand through platforms like Decentraland, Sandbox, and Gather Town, new layers of interaction are emerging—from remote workspaces and virtual concerts to immersive education and gamified wellness.
The conversation also raises questions about balance—how to navigate virtual life without losing touch with the physical world. Ideas are explored around using NFTs as digital IDs, degrees, or tickets, blending utility with status and community engagement. Speculation in the NFT market is acknowledged, but the focus shifts toward long-term use cases that bring value beyond hype. As brands, creators, and even governments begin to experiment with immersive digital infrastructure, the metaverse is framed as both a creative canvas and a new economic frontier.
In this podcast episode recorded on Twitter Spaces, we give a primer to understanding the Metaverse and what it's all about.
