#8: Entering the Metaverse with Adam De Cata and Darius Mouktarzadeh

With all the exciting opportunities around of the Metaverse, it was about time to sit down with Adam DeCata from Decentraland and Darius Mouktarzadeh, and dive into it. 
Exploring its origin and evolution, we take a look at how  Web 3 impacts applications and use cases for the metaverse, considering questions like:

1. How would you define the metaverse? How is this different from SIMs / WoW (open world games from the early 00s)? I could own stuff there too!
2. What is the point of virtual ownership? Both in terms of land / collectibles?
3. What sort of use cases do you see emerging in the metaverse? business use cases / social networks
4. Why does the metaverse need a blockchain infrastructure? What are the benefits of decentralizing this?
5. How do you see the synergies of NFTs, metaverse, blockchain based games – how will they all play together?
6. How long until the metaverse ‘exists’?
