Pokémon is the Metaverse. So is Roblox, the Omniverse and the AR Cloud. Metahumans will populate the Metaverse. We'll wander around with our cross-world avatars and wear expensive limited edition sneakers backed by NFTs, or perhaps sit in our $500,000 virtual houses and stare at our virtual art, all bought with a wallet thick with cryptocurrency.

We seem to be approaching escape velocity: either the Metaverse is imminent, or the term has been attached to so many things that it will cease to have a common meaning.

My timeline is filled with folks debating, posting polls, arguing over whether there can only be ONE Metaverse and then veering off into discussions of the multiverse, virtual worlds and whether there's a difference between Ready Player One and Snowcrash (and thus the finer points of benevolent dictatorships).
