Extra-condensed knowledge


Some golden knowledge juice from the 10 rare containers of golden knowledge (GK) in the metaverse. 

  1. The metaverse is a new word for an old idea, Genevieve Bell, February 8, 2022, MIT Technology Review.
    • There is an easy seductiveness to stories that cast a technology as brand-new, or at the very least that don’t belabor long, complicated histories. 
      • But histories are more than just backstories. They are backbones and blueprints and maps to territories that have already been traversed. Knowing the history of a technology, or the ideas it embodies, can provide better questions, reveal potential pitfalls and lessons already learned, and open a window onto the lives of those who learned them. The metaverse—which is not nearly as new as it looks—is no exception.
    • So where does the metaverse come from? A common answer—the clear and tidy one—is that it comes from Neal Stephenson’s 1992 science fiction novel Snow Crash, which describes a computer-generated virtual world made possible by software and a worldwide fiber-optic network.
    • In the three decades that have passed since Snow Crash was published, many of the underpinnings of Stephenson’s virtual world, such as social networks and artificial intelligence, have materialized. 
    • The metaverse will never be an end in itself. Rather, it will be many things: a space of exploration, a gateway, an inspiration, or even a refuge. Whatever it becomes, it will always be in dialogue with the world that has built it. The architects of the metaverse will need to have an eye to the world beyond the virtual. And in the 21st century, this will surely mean more than worrying about ancient elm trees and the tensile strength of glass. It will mean thinking deeply about our potential and our limitations as makers of new worlds.
  2. Justice Department Says It Seized $3.6 Billion Worth of Bitcoin Stolen in 2016 Hack, Dustin Volz and Ian Talley, February 8, 2022, The Wall Street Journal, WSJ.
    • The value of the bitcoin at the time it was seized last week marks the department’s largest-ever financial seizure
    • The Justice Department said Tuesday it seized over $3.6 billion worth of digital currency stolen during a hack of a cryptocurrency exchange and arrested two suspects for allegedly trying to launder the proceeds.
    • Some financial crime experts said the seizure and others in the past several years show that cryptocurrency markets can be increasingly monitored by law enforcement. Top law-enforcement officials whose agencies investigate cryptocurrency crimes, including the U.S. Secret Service, have said the blockchain ledger provides a digital trail for their probes, but have urged policy makers to strengthen reporting rules on the identities of users.
  3. Why Gaming Consolidation Will Shape the Metaverse, February 8, 2022, Bloomberg.
    • Microsoft and Take-Two Interactive may have started a consolidation frenzy with their acquisitions of Activision Blizzard and Zynga, respectively. CFRA VP of Equity Research John Freeman explains how the consolidation of the gaming industry will expedite opportunities in the metaverse. (Source: Bloomberg)
  4. What Meta’s metaverse means for enterprises, George Lawton, February 7, 2022, VentureBeat.
    • Meta’s many efforts to improve its Quest (Oculus) VR hardware, develop comfortable AR glasses, and AI backbone could transform the way business managers, engineers, customer support, and repair technicians interact with the real world. But a lot of work will be required to catch up with Microsoft, which is the dominant leader in this space. Microsoft is already starting to connect the dots between its HoloLens mixed reality hardware, digital twins, cloud service, and Mesh – its upcoming metaverse for Teams.
    • Meta’s early wins in the enterprise are likely to focus on improving collaboration. 
    • Digital twins and the metaverse
      • The broader adoption of low-cost VR hardware could also accelerate the adoption of digital twins workflows in the enterprise. Offering a high-fidelity and immersive virtual environment that mirrors what is happening in the real world could be incredibly useful for planning around physical facilities.
    • Meta also faces significant competition for the Metaverse backend from Nvidia’s Omniverse. Pring-Mill said. “I would apply a higher success probability to Nvidia than to Meta, despite the nearly $250 billion difference in market cap. 
  5. The Rise Of The Metaverse: Where Crypto, NFT And Luxury Brands Merge, Joseph DeAcetis, February 8, 2022, Forbes.
    • No longer the setting of a sci-fi epic, the metaverse is becoming as real as the material world. But what is the metaverse? In short, the metaverse refers to virtual worlds that are designed for humans to interact with— as easily as they do in the real world. This goes beyond playing games or chatting with avatars. More ot my point, this means buying assets, getting married, travelling, and everything in between. Including fashion and related industries.
    • Fashion Metaverse:
      • In reality, the metaverse is a technological advancement and tech has always been a way to signal luxury. From the latest smartphones to accessories costing hundreds of dollars, the two worlds have always been fairly intertwined. 
      • Once a novel internet concept, cryptocurrencies are now often worth thousands of dollars and holding them has become a way to signal wealth, with ‘crypto bros’ dominating social media. With NFT’s being used as internet collectables, having a piece from a top-rated collection is now like owning a Warhol or a Basquiat. Simply put, anything that can be sold for a lot of money can become a status symbol and these have come to include cryptos and NFT’s. 
    • Looking to the Future:
      • While the metaverse is relatively new, it is clear that fashion will be a part of its future. After all, it is a huge part of our current world and the metaverse is meant to model it to a degree. This influx of fashion influence in the metaverse will be brought on not just by the fashion designers and houses themselves but also by the many companies that will create resources for them to take this digital leap.
      • Ultimately, the biggest beneficiaries will be the consumers who can enjoy the metaverse freely and more stylishly than ever.
  6. The Women Of The Metaverse, Amy Shoenthal, February 8, 2022, Forbes.
    • According to Fast Company, 45% of adults have never heard of NFTs. But those who do, “Well, they’re mostly male crypto-adept collectors. One in five online male adults in the U.S. indicated they already own at least one NFT versus just 7% of U.S. online female adults.”
    • That’s where companies like Curious Addys, Meta Angels, Women in Blockchain and The Hunt come in. Their founders are among the many women on a mission to build inclusiveness into the space, making entry points more accessible and less daunting for the crypto-curious.
    • Even the art world is coming around to the value of NFTs. "From an art historical perspective, owning an early era NFT will be important, but perhaps even more important will be owning one that was created by the type of artist who has never gotten their due in the traditional art market," says former Sotheby’s executive and art industry expert Laura Miranda-Browne. "Meta Angels is exactly that kind of project.
  7. Why Corporate America Needs A Metaverse Investigator, Tim Bajarin, February 8, 2022, Forbes.
    • We all know that the tech buzzword of the day is the Metaverse. Of course, there are many views about what the Metaverse is and should be in concept. However, it is really about a virtual world where people can play immersive games, create their own "personal" virtual worlds and eventually even shop and do business within this replication of the real world. 
    • The Metaverse Resource Center highlights dozens of case studies of companies utilizing VR-MR and AR technologies. These use cases are in training, manufacturing, sales, marketing, customer service, healthcare, telecom, and publishing. While this site is not comprehensive, it shares over 100 real-world case studies and applications where these technologies are impacting many companies’ current business operations and practices.
    • Most enterprise companies are still confused about the Metaverse and its impact on their business in the future.
    • The Metaverse or virtual world's greater adoption in business and consumer markets is many years away. However, Lockheed Martin and dozens of other major companies and enterprises are already accelerating their research in this area. Therefore, I suggest that it is prudent for companies of all sizes to start their research into how they could do business in a virtual world sooner than later.
  8. KKR to Join $500 Million Funding for NFT Creator Animoca, Sources Say, Zheping Huang and Cathy Chan, February 9, 2022, Bloomberg.
    • Animoca Brands raises more money at a $5 billion valuation
    • Company aims to double its valuation again in next round
    • KKR & Co. is set to become the latest Wall Street name to back metaverse company Animoca Brands Corp., taking the Hong Kong startup’s latest funding round to about $500 million, according to people familiar with the matter.
    • Animoca has more than doubled its valuation in just three months, benefiting from the record-beating rush of venture capital into the crypto industry. 
  9. Nvidia, SoftBank Call Off Blockbuster Arm Deal, February 9, 2022, The Wall Street Journal, WSJ.
    • Nvidia Corp. and Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp. are abandoning a blockbuster deal for the U.S. semiconductor giant to acquire chip-design specialist Arm after regulators raised antitrust concerns.
    • For Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang, the proposed acquisition of Arm represented one of his biggest bets to expand beyond the company’s historic niche of making graphics processors used heavily in videogames and for artificial-intelligence calculations and cryptocurrency mining.
    • SoftBank said Arm had enjoyed two years of strong business momentum, driven in part by demand for chips featuring the company’s designs and used in cloud computing, automated driving and other applications. Mr. Haas said that with the uncertainty over the Nvidia transaction now resolved, Arm was set to pursue a growth strategy.
    • Mr. Huang said Nvidia would continue to work with Arm as a licensee.
  10. Bengals, Rams and Bitcoin: Crypto Ads Invade the Super Bowl, Paul Vigna and Suzanne Vranica, February 6, 2022, The Wall Street Journal, WSJ.
    • Crypto companies strive to be household names, spending millions of dollars on sports broadcast sponsorships
    • Who will dominate Super Bowl LVI? Madison Avenue’s money is on crypto.
    • As crypto companies increase their advertising spending, brands have pumped out crypto-theme campaigns or marketing gimmicks to leverage the buzz surrounding cryptocurrencies.
    • The National Football League itself is playing this angle, too, offering people at the game commemorative nonfungible tokens, or NFTs, linked to their physical ticket.
