I'm lucky enough to have been a Meta employee during an all-hands in which Zuck discussed his view on the metaverse. It may have changed since then, but TL;DR the claim was "we already live in a metaverse"

Adopting this stance, my claim is that a metaverse (the public internet and access to it) has transformed the world, and what modern metaverse companies are doing is wandering through the idea maze to find (1) what the next set of interfaces are to interact with the metaverse (I don't know of a single person who *likes* the fact that hanging out IRL involves distractions from phones) and (2) where the limits are for how the internet can continue to provide opportunity for people that IRL can't.

Crypto is currently still 0->1 but Metaverse is 1->2, so imo they can't be compared directly without some extra work to set context first

Network States

It’s similar to the case of the term “decentralization”

The reason you haven’t noticed it yet, is because most people don’t actually know what “metaverse” means… 

Currently, it’s:
“you buy land here with a closed corporation that owns the code, most of the art, and servers”

Whereas, what it actually means is an ecosystem where 
“Anyone can contribute, anyone can earn”
