Topic: Metaverse Mania is just a hype? (Read 221 times)

No, Metaverse isn't just a hype, it's the future. It will take many years when we see actual presence of Metaverse but it will become a reality one day.

People will enjoy Metaverse way more than current social media systems. I'm quite sure that Facebook(Meta), will be the top provider that will allow users to be part of Metaverse.

It feels to me that people don't even understand what metaverse is. Metaverse is just a combination of networks and using them together just forms this "meta" level if you will. Meta as a concept is used a lot in the past and Meta-communication was a thing way before computers. So this isn't really anything new. Very similar concept to metaverse was called virtual reality in 80-90s this and that was a fad too.

That doesn't mean developing tech would be worthless, as it's been slowly developed from 90's eye monitors to impressive head gears capable of doing impressive things. This tech however still costs too much and causes nausea when used too much. The fact that people are selling us this as a thing that already exist, seems similar to space mania when people went to space first time. There was lots of futuristic visions of what will happen next and almost every prediction of those were wrong.

So these metaverse tokens and games seem very similar to rocket toys back then. And people are playing with them in similar way like a make believe that they would be in that future.

While doing everything in "metaverse" is exciting idea, it will look different. And i sincerely hope that it's not anything like player one book and movie, because that looked as cringe as lawn mover man movie back in 90's

There's a reason why second life game didn't took over everyone, even when it was state of the art back then. And that reason is simple: because no one wants it. If i had to guess, metaverse that will get adopted would have some ar elements, but i think visuals and physical tech will be way more minimalistic and suddle then current AR softwares,

Ever since I joined this community I have seen so many metaverse projects that seems or look so attractive and I thought they will all be a thing but they all crashed. Now metaverse on its own is a great project but I don't know how all the features that are being discussed about metaverse can come to reality for instance where they mentioned shopping, it's really confusing how one can shop online can it comes to reality. I have also seen some successful parts like the social media utilities can be a success.

But for the fact that it has been for so long, I believe it's permanently here to stay but if it comes to investment I don't know how one can profit from it but if there is a way I believe it's going to be huge at the end.

VR technology is decades old and why we see hype about this now because Apple launched their Vision Pro which made every tech youtube to create hype about this product and obviously created certain attention towards the technology which leads to people starts launching projects related to such technology so it's obviously a passing trend.

I do agree with this hypes are the reason why people investing in the first place, otherwise there are too many people refuse to invest if they don't get intrigued by the potential profit that they can generate and which in turn also generates hypes, I personally feel fine with it, in the case of metaverse indeed its too early to judge most of the metaverse aren't really fully developed metaverse remember that an AAA games require years to develop even decade, we are talking about metaverse here where the world in game is so wide, also some features might be a lot complex, these metaverse will have place, but maybe in the future, some technology can be considered too early for the masses to consume where its too bleeding edge sometime.
as long as those metaverse developers keep developing their game with all the money they got from the investor I'm sure someday they will reach their expected achievements.

These type of stuff were all just a hype, there was really no usecase for it at all. What are you going to do with some roblox/minecraft looking world? I mean everyone assumed that it would be like "ready player one" type of world eventually, but we are nowhere near that level at all, which is why we would never have something like that. This is why it is quite important to realize that we are going to face some troubles.

This means that we should probably consider the situation to be a little different, and not really think it is the reality. This should cause a lot of trouble and this is why we need to consider how it could be a little different. I personally believe that metaverse will never be that good, at least not anytime soon.

metaverse is a hype and a marketing buzzword. It has no future. Facebook has already understood this and many other companies are going to learn it in due course of time. In today's world, where people are too busy in taking care of their life, who would have time for nonsenses like metaverse.

I would say, Apple is rather doing in intelligently. They are trying to mix the VR with the real life. But all these metaverse platform you see today, won't exist in next couple of years. No one would have time to stay into an imaginary world other than some jobless bunch of kids!

everything and everyone will need a hype before it goes well-known. BTC was also hyped every halving on the internet so that people would be well aware of it and that anyone who learned about it would join the revolution. you may not call it hype since we are all aware the supply is just 21M so its attractive of course but if no one knows it then no information will make it to the larger population.

metaverse and all other cryptocurrencies need hype and one way to do it is to just pump the price.

Well, as far as I know, whether Metaverse, meme coins, Altcoins, Layer 1 and 2, or Gamefi and Web3, whatever, all of that is always accompanied by hype, and that's normal because that's part of the marketing strategy here in the crypto industry.

because without the hype that is called, it will be difficult for any projects that enter the crypto space to get potential investors here in the crypto community for sure. Maybe right now it is not that loud, but for sure, after the halving, we will be surprised. It's still too early, from what I can see for now.

It does have use case. The Metaverse technology is just too ahead of time and we are not into it. The technology belongs to the people maybe a generation that's for the kids that will be born 25 years later.

So far what comes into the mind of the innovators of yesterday becomes a reality after a period of time. The cashless transaction was predicted more than 20 years ago and look at where we're at.

the truth is that whole thing about metaverse is actually just a gimmick, there's no real use case so far for these metaverse in my opinion, they said it could be a way to socialize to people, working from home, and even many things that never been done through virtual media before but nobody really want to use it for that function since it might be complicated for some or any other reason so far there's really not that much use case.
instead right now the more popular thing is the game niche that uses blockchain and i'm talking about a game dev that really trying to make a game but you know sometime these projects are just for short money grab and nothing more the game itself never finished, like that game called big time, i have played this game and never really interested in it.
you can first hand know that anything under category of metaverse and blockchain game feels like a chore to play meaning that it probably is purposefully created just for a fad.
feel free to prove me wrong but i'm waiting the days where NFT getting truly taken advantage of by real quality games.

Metaverse is actually the technology of the future that is going to happen. But I think right now we're only in the early stages of metaverse technology. There are many things that must be developed to achieve the virtual world that people imagine. Altcoins related to the metaverse have been hyped in 2021, such as Sandbox, Mana, and Axie infinity. But because this is still early technology, the use of metaverse among the general public is still very limited. Apple Vision Pro is one of the most revolutionary adoptions for the metaverse. And I hope it can be the next step for the development of metaverse technology.

I don't consider it a temporary hype, but indeed technology and mediation in the metaverse will be very interesting if you can use it with simpler equipment, we know that oculus and aple vision pro which are one of the technologies that can be associated with the metaverse are still quite difficult to use easily because they have a weight and shape that is still quite simple, while also the ecosystem of business opportunities and other things in the metaverse are not perfect to provide services and convenience for consumers while also the population is not very familiar with the metaverse, because of that only a few people who understand technology can access it.
Adoption is still in the developmental stage, but if you look at the potential this will be very interesting and become a holographic world.

Metaverse itself it just hype amid the pandemic and most of us were just taking advantage of it back then now only those who develop and update to more innovative platforms are the ones still operating and useful and the others have already given up their dream to make some Metaverse technology projects that will gonna become a trend in the future which is honestly impossible due to the huge numbers of competitors. The main reason for the loss of the hype is common and that is the huge numbers of fake projects every time a trend like this emerges and the real developers can't do anything about it and the investors just simply give up because of it.

It was a big thing when it was still new, the word itself was new and many don't understand it yet and that's why for that reason it became hype. If it's in general looking at that sense of how we have understood metaverse, it's nearing to lose its hype.

This mania has been there when everyone is looking for something to the market but then this time, the mania isn't new and it's all about meme coins.

I have an idea of what if the past trends will also become a trend again but I don't think that this will ever be applied to ICOs.

in once created a topic in which metaverse is big in China https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5403179

they are very serious about the industry and they are doing it with the perspective of developing hardware for each user and not just everyone who has Facebook account can be in the metaverse like it's a real thing. Facebook Meta seems just a 2D than what the Chinese are doing. Metaverse is more possible when hardware is readily available for everyone.

It has been long I heard from them and as for me it was just a hype and was just trending in the market. Metaverse has no water tight in the ecosystem though Erick who was the developer tried his best but it end in the social media platforms. Well we can't just condemn the project yet because there were some projects that came to the ecosystem and were doing well but suddenly collapsed for years and later came back with strong hype so nobody can tell what will happen to Metaverse for now. But I think they are not in the system now.

But might bounce back again as I said. But from my end when I made the research, Metaverse has more value that VR.

Yeah, trend on crypto is just repeating when there’s a huge improvement or significant hype happened to a certain sector of crypto market.

Let’s use memecoin as example here, it became popular due to Doge before many years ago and now it’s popularity redeemed because a billionaire invest and promote it that creates a new hype for this kind of investment which is already almost dead before the first time I I know crypto.

Metaverse and others can be redeemed in the future since the trend is just repeating not only crypto but in general.

i think the trend will be revived one day when there is a new development to it like the VR headsets are already available like they have an industry standard for it. when companies like Apple, tesla, and other Chinese companies are already producing these headsets then the trend will be back again, it only needs one company and the rest of the companies will already hurry to mass reproduce. but for now we are moving to another narrative.

Metaverse was one of the short lived hype. I was thinking of researching and getting in on a few but they were gone even before I could do that. People may argue they are still alive, they might be, but they don't even get the same attention as meme coins. Maybe the failure of Facebook Metaverse's popularity killed them.
Other than meme, the genre that's hot these days are AI. The trend fo AI has not slowed much. AI certainly is a more likely utility in future than metaverse.
If we are not talking about the hype but natural growth, L1 and L2 projects are going to dominate the market for near future.
