MEWS - The Metaverse Entertainment Worlds

The acquisition of RTFKT by Nike was a very bold move in 2022, as #blockchain technology and #crypto are the ideal platform and tools to support the #creatoreconomy, a circular and therefore sustainable ecosystem, community building - combined with huge PR, marketing and product placement opportunities. Was it at the right price and strategy? Obviously not. Have some of the young and new web3 « stars » ⭐️ played a too big bet? Most probably. A company like Nike is driven by their investors, they shareholders - different rules. Deloitte‘s blockchain leaders, McKinsey & Company, #big4s were predicting since 2018 that the web3 ecosystems needs to be well integrat into “traditional” business strategy, ops & #technology, and promoted also respective CIO education. Looking 👀 forward that the future combines both ecosystems to a successful web5 🌎 world, and that crypto will be a usecase for #NFTs as true assets “tokens” carrying IP, provenance and functionality. The creators of RTFKT, Benoit Pagotto Chris Le and Steven Vasilev are amazing visionaries (before their time, and in their high time!) Let’s please listen to them moving forward! https://lnkd.in/eR7MABwR

#Metaverse worlds will become the portals to community access and smartphones apps in 10 years and Roblox will be among or THE leader. Constant #entertainment during our daily lifestyle, during our human interactions and exchanges, and updates from our communities will further grow, accompanying us 24/7, supporting our life, but also playing a bigger role for manual as well as digital work. The magical 🧙🏻♀️ worlds 🌎 of Wicked Games might just be the beginning of a fully #XR experience in next generations education. Happy Halloween 🎃

🚀❤️ Introducing our “Crypto for Good” campaign, highlighting what makes crypto—and the people who power it—one of the greatest forces for good. This is a major initiative to underline the intersection of cryptocurrency and philanthropy. The campaign aims to reach $200 Million in crypto donations by the end of 2024 by showcasing how cryptocurrency empowers individuals, communities, and nonprofits to make positive change in the world. Beyond its financial utility, cryptocurrency has driven financial inclusion, transparency, and billions in donations since Bitcoin's launch 15 years ago. As the top-performing asset class of the past decade, crypto is fostering a new generation of impact-minded leaders, who are more likely to give generously to charity. Nonprofits are crypto’s greatest champions. Major organizations like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - ALSAC and Save the Children US have been fundraising crypto while building strong ties with the crypto community, and there are thousands of crypto-friendly charities looking for partners in the web3 space to support their missions. Whether you’re a donor, nonprofit, or crypto company, there are many ways to get involved. From partnering with nonprofits to donating to your favorite causes, your support can drive meaningful change. Help us spread the word and share stories of how crypto is making a positive impact, and together we can ensure crypto continues to be a catalyst for global change. 🔗 Learn more about our “Crypto for Good” campaign and how you can participate: https://hubs.ly/Q02VsTd-0 #CryptoForGood #CryptoPhilanthropy

With the current technology leaps 🐸 in AI 🤖, as well as with the recent progress in virtual reality VX, new technology to create 3-dimensional content, and #metaverse worlds or #spatialcomputing 💻 , we often forget the real pioneers. One of those laying the groundwork for our recent progress is certainly #alanturing, without him amazing inventors like Apple founder #stevejobs as well as its competitor Microsoft founder Bill Gates and ultimately Google Meta Amazon might not have those opportunities. Thanks for sharing Martin Jetter .

Amazing progress in XR! Congratulations 🎊

While Web3 was celebrataed by the „first movers“ it is still at its starting point. With VX glasses which just need more effort than watching browser based web2 platforms, like Netflix. True Web3 metaverse worlds need to partner more with content & application providers to attract users, and certainly there is still quite a way to go to achieve higher interoperability, lexplained in the KZero Worldswide report.

GM Good morning news 🗞️ from #Matrix & Ready Player One: Virtual screens, embedded in #metaverse & #spatial applications are finally happening, being announced to become accessible as consumer products with #Samsung. What’s been already used by industry applications, R&D, training & manufacturing, and what worked in a couple of metaverses worlds during the last years could finally disrupt the laptop & screen industry. Samsung will have to be at the forefront! #sightless #apple #spatialcomputing Samsung Electronics Steven Saltzman

Is the Metaverse dead? No, we still strongly believe in Metaverse Worlds, "Spacial Computing", Web3 & virtual spaces as the next form of internet. We experienced the "World Wide Web", Smartphones and web2. Metaverse is next!

🔥Mark your calendars 📆 27th May 2024 We will launch 'AI Index', the first collection of NFTs based on the [aside] protocol, in collaboration with Obvious and Ivona Tau (dr Ivona Tautkute-Rustecka (Ivona Tau)).

Netflix unveils their #metaverse world 🌍 in Roblox , a "digital theme park" called Nextworld. Netflix started to build its gaming platform since a couple of years, as they announced at the MEWS World 🌍 2022: “The competition to Netflix is not necessarily The Walt Disney Company but Nintendo and XBox”, where especially #GenZ users started to spend more time. #Nextworld acts as a hub where players can access areas, characters and games based on Netflix #IP, such as Stranger Things, One Piece and Mini games.
