METAVERSE
A concept bigger than our universe
Love is a difficult concept, what about getting in love with someone we meet in another universe, on a Metaverse, hehe then is more tricky.
To define Metaverse we can go first through Virtual Reality. So, VR is a simulated experience that can feel real… now being involved in a Metaverse will be like a simulated experience we feel real but also in an uncontrolled environment that runs on its own.
To explain further, a Virtual Reality experience could be a controlled game on our computer, while a Metaverse experience will not be controlled by us as players because there will be so many elements, individuals, and situations that are happening randomly and weren't designed but just created.
To understand better what is a Metaverse, we can imagine we are in this life as a player, our Sun, Mars, and all that exists here that we call Universe is a platform where we are to play and learn, to meet other souls. So this Universe where we connect each other right now by these letters is a Metaverse from the “real world” from where our souls came from.
In this way, it is a pleasure to meet you in the Metaverse we call “Universe” 🎉
Therefore, the importance of Blockchain
With the concept of an uncontrolled environment, where no one is God, where no one can change the circumstances, there is no room for us to create a Metaverse without Blockchain Technology. 🦄
At the moment, the only tech we own as humans that allows us to create decentralized environments is Blockchain. Consequently, if we want to create an unbridled reality beyond our own reality then we need to use a decentralized platform.
To explain further we can use movies as examples.
Let’s make clear the differences between Virtual Reality and a Metaverse:
In the Player One movie, no one has control of the environment unless you win a competition. If you win the competition, you receive a key and then you can change the rules. That’s very similar to a Blockchain consensus, everyone has to follow the rules and there is a way to find consensus. In the case of Bitcoins which have Proof of Work consensus, where there is a competition to get the keys to validate and add new blocks.
So, in order for the bad guys to win inside the Game/Metaverse of Player One, they tried to kill the protagonist in “Real life”.
Very different from the Free Guy movie, where the bad guys were able to change all the circumstances inside the game, and they could win by destroying the servers, because by destroying the computers where the Game/Virtual-Reality was hosted they were destroying the evidence that they committed plagiarism in the “Real life”.
If the Free Guy game wasn't hosted on a centralized service there would not be any possibility of destroying the Game or changing the info inside the game.
List of movies

Let’s start experimenting
I had the pleasure to test different VR and Metaverse, and to kick start the learning I recommend NEAR HUB a portal to everything NEAR, because is straightforward and easy to use. 💯
In addition we have RealityChain, an award-winning Social Metaverse that seeks to give you a non-immersive Metaverse experience with the power of Web 3.0. A Metaverse shouldn’t replace your social interactions; and instead, it should be a complementary part of your social life. Reality Chain’s Metaverse provides a “casual” experience while still giving you the benefit of owning pieces of it as NFTs.
You can connect easily to any Metaverse in top of NEAR by using your wallet. To know more about NEAR Protocol here are the Community links:
