WHAT IS THE METAVERSE?
The internet, but you're INSIDE it.
Right now → You look at apps on a screen
Metaverse → You're a character walking around inside apps
You already know it:
• Roblox = Metaverse (190 million users)
• Fortnite = Metaverse (concerts, events)
• Minecraft = Basically metaverse
• VRChat = Metaverse (people hang out there daily)
That's it. You've probably been in one already.
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
People are making real money:
$741 million paid to Roblox creators last year
$4,000 for a virtual Gucci bag (more than the real one)
$20 million from one Travis Scott Fortnite concert
$400K/year earned by a 12-year-old making Roblox games
The market will be worth $800 billion by 2030.
Most adults don't understand it. That's your advantage.
