Before we get started here let me preface this information by saying this:
How you and I feel about web3 and the metaverse has zero effect on the eventual future of tech.
Let's be unemotional about this.

...NOT at the expense of others like you and I: regular hard-working people...
..but at the expense of those that have been in power for 1000s of years:
Those that protect exploiting.
Those that protect the status quo.
Those that protect the centralized financial systems.

Additionally, when I talk about the metaverse I'm NOT talking about Disney's, Zuck's, Nike's or any other centralized 'wannabe' metaverses.
Those things are just spyware, camouflaged as 'fun' experiences.
Let there be no doubt:
Metaverse = decentralized, anonymous, open.

Don't know what the metaverse is?

What is needed to create a decentralized metaverse?
- A Non-USD backed stablecoin: $UST
- A Store of value: $BTC
- A Layer 1 chain: $SOL, $ETH, $SOUL, etc.
- Computation: $AR, $FIL, $AKT, $RNDR.
- Experiences: land, gaming, streaming, etc.
But where to start...?

But where to start...?
1. Invest in blockchain project tokens
The easiest way to get exposure to the metaverse is to directly invest in the project tokens.
Some are building the foundations (layer 1s, computation) & some are creating the experiences (games, NFTs, etc.)
Understand this..

The total crypto market cap is estimated to be $50-75 trillion by 2030.
It's at $2 trillion now. That's 25-40x from now.
The metaverse will easily hit $10 trillion within years as more and more of our everyday (economic) life is moving online.
Some examples of the upside..

Some examples of the upside..
$MANA: $0.29 to $4.10
$RNDR: $0.22 to $3.14
$LUNA: $6 to $57
$AR: $7 to $34
This is just over the last 12 months..while the market's down 40% from its all-time highs.
You can't get guaranteed wins, but you limit your risk by investing in fundamentally sound projects.

2. Invest in NFTs
If you're new to the space you probably associate NFTs with funny-looking monkey jpegs.
I'm here to tell you: these static jpegs are but a first 'phase'.
What's next?
To keep it simple: think of Ready Player One (the book/movie).

As we collectively transfer over more of our social, our economic, and professional activities to these virtual worlds in the metaverse...the importance of NFTs will only grow.
Investing in coins is mostly passive.
Investing in NFTs allows you to actively use it (to earn).

How so?
Use the NFT as your character while you play to earn in-game.
Use the NFT as your avatar to run a metaverse business meeting
Use the NFT to flex your new virtual Nike sneakers.
Crazy. I know...but it's happening.

Some examples:
HAPE: mint 0.2ETH, now worth 3-4ETH
My Pet Hooligan: mint 0.08ETH, now worth 1.3ETH
Psychedelics Anon: mint 0.08ETH, now worth 5ETH
On my radar: Phantom Galaxies, Star Atlas, Antonym, Clementine's Nightmare.
These assets WILL 100% be usable in future metaverses.

3. Invest in metaverse real estate
For outsiders investing in virtual plots of land sounds like utter insanity. I get that.
The reality is that with the advent of web3 digital ownership (thank you blockchain tech) is democratizing real estate in a big way.
Why invest in it?

Why invest in it?
Metaverse real estate is absolutely exploding.
Why?
Because brands and entrepreneurs are seeing the majority of our attention going online and understand that advertising and marketing opportunities will be mind-blowing.
In 6 months' time, the avg cost went from $6k to $12k!

Adidas, Nike, Samsung, JP Morgan are all buying plots of land to create virtual experiences/stores for their customers.
Physical events had limitations (parking, safety, etc.).
Virtual events have none.
The profit margins are bonkers.
That is why I'm into metaverse land..

You could set up shop across the street from Nike or McDonalds and piggyback off of the traffic they generate.
Rent out your plot to advertisers that want to target Nike customers.
Hold events and hire a DJ to come perform.
Hire people to run the biz.
I know, ...crazy.

So, let's say you want to dive into this.
My favorite projects here are Sandbox, Decentraland, NETVRK, and Wilder World.
Personally, I'm priced out of the former, while NETVRK and Wilder World remain somewhat affordable.
DYOR, of course.

4. Invest in 'traditional' stocks.
This one kinda hurts me.
Why?
Because these old-world web2 companies are built on centralized forces and give zero ownership to their customers.
That being said, I did say we were going to leave emotions out of this.
So here we go..

There's not a single cell on my body that trusts Zuckerberg's intentions.
Facebook going all-in on the metaverse narrative is both terrible and great.
Terrible because people (as most people don't research 10 hours a day) now think the metaverse automatically means EVIL but..

They will quickly notice though that the facebooks of the world do what centralized companies do: spy, sell data, etc.
The 'real' (decentralized) metaverse will be a far superior experience.

So where do you put your money?
I am personally looking at publicly traded companies that are either building a metaverse or buying land:
- Samsung
- Facebook
- NVIDIA (video rendering)
- Microsoft
- Atari
- Nike
- Unity (I'd add Epic Games but not publicly traded)
Bullish.

All that said:
Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
EXPECT to see (temporary) 90% drops through government coercion, bear markets, etc...
If you cant stomach that then this space isn't for you.
Think long-term.
The plan is to make $$$ by 2030.
Not by next Thursday.

Recap:
Four options:
- Invest in project tokens
- Invest in NFTs
- Invest in virtual restate
- Invest in the necessary evil ;-)

This is by no means financial advice.
I'm just a guy on the internet, after all.
Do your own research.
Do not trust your banks/governments.
Do not spend money on random dumb shit coins.
