Story
After Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin dropped out of college and launched Bitcoin Magazine, he wrote the Ethereum white paper, which proposed an open source protocol that would take what Bitcoin did for money and do it for everything else: contracts, social networks, and sharing economies. Now, less than a decade later, his idea is valued at about half a trillion dollars, and it is the foundation for the weird new world of NFT artworks, virtual real estate, and decentralized autonomous organizations.

When people talk about the future, they usually mean virtual reality. The reason is that when you say "the future", most people think of science fiction, and nearly all SF takes place in a virtual space. The word metaverse is actually an old term for cyberspace - the virtual environment that exists on computers. So, you could argue that the metaverse and cyberspace are virtually the same things. Metaverse has the slick ring of the future around it, but in reality, it refers to past or present realities, not just a future vision.

What do Google, Snapchat, Tinder, Amazon, and Uber have in common, besides soaring market share? They're platforms - a new business model that has quietly become the only game in town. A platform, by definition, creates value by facilitating an exchange between two or more interdependent groups. So, rather than making things, they simply connect people. The advent of mobile computing and its ubiquitous connectivity have forever altered how we interact with each other. Yet, few people truly grasp the radical structural shifts of the last 10 years.
