What is the Metaverse and NFTs, and what is the relationship between the two?
Last October, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook would be renamed Meta, saying the new name was more in line with the metaverse focus. So far, he has invested 12 billion US dollars on the Metaverse track, and domestic manufacturers have followed suit. Byte has acquired VR giant pico for billions of yuan, and even Chinese non-heritage collections are planning to land in the Metaverse. . This article aims to introduce what is the metaverse and what is NFT in the most popular way. Do these things have anything to do with us ordinary people?
When it comes to the Metaverse, I believe that many people will have different scenes in their minds. Wearing VR glasses, there are boundless stars, strange roads and buildings, cyberpunks, masked men, and sexy big sisters, all of these. Is it the metaverse that the bigwigs from all walks of life are pursuing with huge sums of money? To understand the Metaverse, you must first understand his pass NFT. NFT is also a non-fungible token. The homogenized token is very simple. I have one dollar and you have one dollar, so no matter what time and place, I can exchange my one dollar for your one dollar. They have the same value, the same shape, and are always replaceable and can be divided. In five cents, this is a homogenized token. On the contrary, non-fungible tokens have different values, different forms, and are irreplaceable and indivisible. For example, a symphony, a children's drawing and a video. It is worth noting that all irreplaceable and indivisible things with different values and different forms are NFTs, which are dedicated to encrypted digital assets.
What are digital assets? For the game I bought for 69 RMB, is the skin a digital asset? No, first of all, the game skin is a bunch of code that can be copied. Even if it is limited, even if he only sells one in the whole region and all servers, individuals can copy it through technical means. Secondly, its actual ownership belongs to the game company, and the game company has the right to recycle all your things. When the game stops operating, you will have nothing. Only after the digital product is encrypted by NFT, it is stored in the area. Only on the blockchain can he become a unique, irreplaceable, long-lasting, and recoverable digital asset that only belongs to you.
NFT is the combination of art and technology. It is an inevitable product of the development of modern technology and culture. It solves the problem that art works are difficult to trace and seek truth. You can use the same picture, and I can also use it, but only NFT can tell you its true owner. A certain star spent $180,000 to buy an NFT avatar, and a singer spent $120,000 to buy a piece of virtual land. On the surface, they seem to be huge leeks. In fact, the unique characteristics of NFT make these things The value becomes incalculable.
