Metaversal is a Bankless newsletter for weekly level-ups on NFTs, virtual worlds, & collectibles
Dear Bankless Nation,Ā
The compass. The printing press. The telephone. The internet. Now, Ethereum and the programmable āculture legoā possibilities that NFTs open up. Possibilities weāve only just begun to imagine.Ā
I donāt mean to be fatalist and suggest that all weāre working for here is inevitable. In fact, thereās much work and much struggle ahead. What I do mean is that from my vantage, Web3 looks like the latest major cultural blossoming in the great arc of human progress.Ā
That said, nowās the time for dreaming. Hereās the weird new frontier, the one we saw coming and didnāt see coming at the same time. And we need all the dreamers we can get.Ā
Thanks for reading everyone, be well and have a great weekend āļø
