Grab a Piece of the Metaverse Financial Revolution

Niantic Real World Platform

The metaverse is the greatest economic opportunity of our lifetime. A bold claim, I know, but I brought the kind of heavy artillery needed to back it up.

Like NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang:

"I feel fairly certain the metaverse is going to be a new economy that is larger than our current economy."

Told you I had the big guns! The current U.S. GDP is checking in at over $87 trillion. How'd you like to tap into $87+ trillion? I know Mark Zuckerberg would.

Facebook is currently devoting 20% of it's workforce to creating the metaverse vision it started building in 2014. This is not a side project of Facebook. This will be Facebook.

Facebook's VR Workroom

Zuckerberg said, "In the coming years, I expect people will transition from seeing us primarily as a social media company to seeing us as a metaverse company."

Facebook is not alone. Other corporations are dumping billions into metaverse investments. Epic games has raised $1 billion that includes a $200 million buy in from Sony to build their metaverse. Places like Sotheby's, Boson Protocol and Republic Realm have paid as much as $900,000 for land in Decentraland.

So what do you say? Ready to follow the money into the metaverse. First we need to figure out how to get there.

What Is The Metaverse?

"You will live in my metaverse, and you will like it!"

In it's purest form, none of what I just mentioned is the metaverse.

In a metaverse, users will experience and interact with each other and all objects in real time. They will be able to buy and own goods, lands, businesses and there will be central system of exchange of value.

Think of your favorite futuristic movie where people live in a virtual world and you should have a good sense.

So even though what Zuckerberg is walking though in the above picture looks like a metaverse setting, it is not.

It's more like a website and the metaverse is more like the internet, but with even more interoperability. We don't have the bandwidth, computing and other technology I don't understand to pull that off yet.

In reality, that's all semantics and investors don't care about semantics. The magical metaverse will not appear overnight anyway. It will be a long process of advancements that blurs any defining moment of a "beginning."

So, let's broaden our definition of the metaverse to include proximate things. When you do this, you realize we are already there.

What Do You Mean We're In The Metaverse? This Ain't The Matrix.

We socialize, conduct business, shop and many other things all online. Our lifestyles have already adapted to living in the metaverse! Being surrounded by a virtual reality and having more interoperability is just a technological advancement.

Let me give you an example. I can wake up at the crack of noon, sit down for a quick internet check and then not get up from the computer until 3 a.m. wondering what day it is. The goggles are not a necessary step to be submerged in a virtual world!

Who cares about what I do though. We are trying to see how the future plays out, and....

I Believe That Children Are The Future

We have an entire generation raised in a metaverse. Games like Minecraft and World of Warcraft became popular over a decade ago.

Metaverse games have since evolved to not have "craft" in the title and kids today are using Roblox like it's social media. They meet up dressed as avatars to chat, play games and other things adults have no idea about.

People moving as avatars, meeting social needs and spending money in a virtual environment, this is metaverse proximate, and it might be catching on.

Almost 10 billion collective hours were spent by an average of 42-million daily users in Roblox in just the first quarter of 2021! They spent $652 million while there. This behavior isn't going to decrease as the technology gets better!

So what do you say for investing purposes, we just call this all the metaverse and grab a piece of the pie.

That Was A Lot Of Words Crypto Hawk. Just Tell Me How I Make Money Off This

You pick! There are going to be many ways to make money off of this. From investing in hardware manufactures, platform providers, developers, maybe you even want to pick an evil corporation like Apple, Facebook or Microsoft. You name it. Pick an area you like, research it and stay current.

This will be an evolving landscape, and unlike the birth of the internet, big money will be battling it out for control of the metaverse as it is born. Pick the winners.

That said, it may come as no shock to you that Crypto Hawk is focusing on crypto/nft metaverse projects! It's what I support, but also where the most opportunity is.

While existing cooperate heavyweights will have a huge say in the metaverse, they will have to adopt at least some standards and practices of decentralization or they will limit their reach.

The metaverse will be running on blockchain. Governments are working on issuing digital currencies. Before the U.S. is ready to deploy theirs, Facebook will be using their own blockchain currency, Diem.

However, it is crypto that has blockchain, first-mover advantage.

Who will want to hang out in a Facebook metaverse when they can't use the Bored Ape Yacht Club avatar they paid a million dollars for?

Why would people spend money in Roblox that can't leave the ecosystem when they could use something built on Ethereum or other chains that will transport across many ecosystems?

Meanwhile, crypto ecosystems will continue to grow exponentially because they will attract talented creators and smart investors due to the fact they offer:

—more returns for creators

—more returns for investors

—complete creative freedom

—commercial ownership of digital property

—better avenues to passive income

No matter the brand power, places will have to open their doors to crypto to try and maximize their gains. They will onboard the entire world in the process. Do you have any idea what happens to the price of a 10,000-issue NFT as the mainstream public gains easy access to it.

What happens to the price of Decentraland's token MANA if Gucci decides to buy land there instead of operating in the confines of Roblox like they currently are?

I'll tell you what happens:

The best opportunities to profit off the oncoming tsunami of the metaverse are in crytpo, and it will happen in many sectors. This blog will work on uncovering the best ones!
