Have you ever watched the movie Ready Player One by Steven Spielberg?

Prepare yourself because this article will talk about strange concepts, virtual themes, digital ideas, and basically, how the future is being designed.

I’m 45 years old and I spend half of my life playing a strategy soccer game called Football Manager. Yet the digital world belongs to GenZ and there are currently 68 million citizens between 6 and 24 years old in the United States alone.

This generation of young kids is the first one born into a full digital era. We can add here also GenY, that are currently between 25 and 29 years old. GenY and GenZ are the builders of new digital infrastructures like Ethereum, Cardano, or Polkadots.

These two generations live in The Metaverse universe.

The Metaverse: a persistent, live digital universe that affords individuals a sense of agency, social presence, and shared spatial awareness, along with the ability to participate in an extensive virtual economy with profound societal impact.- Piers Kicks
