This is how we know we are living in the metaverse. It just hit me that anyone who has followed my blogs for a reasonable amount of time span most likely know more about me than those that know me only offline. I talk to more people online(digital realm) than I do offline(physical realm), if you were to visualize this, it’s not so different from the Ready Player one movie.
I spend more time with more people online than offline, the only difference is that I don’t get to wear a virtual reality headset that’s plugged into some super computer.
Just visualize this, in the digital realm, I operate from a country called Hive, where my occupation is creating content, curating and gaming along side everyone I interact with daily with each their profession, people whose identities are based on the personas they’ve created and the life they live on Hive.
Visualize Hive like a state within a country, or just as it is commonly referred to, a Community, and visualize every other immersive digital application or communities as theirs, Twitter, TikTok, e.t.c they all form one big universe, the digital one. The coexistence of both physical and digital realm results to the Metaverse.
My source of income is gotten through my activities in the digital realm, majority of my investment is digital.
The other day I was having a talk with my Dad, he was dadsplaining how he already had 2 lands at my age, while I may not have physical lands, I’ve got digital properties that dwarfs the worth and potential of the land he acquired at my age, this is how we know we are already living through the metaverse.
Speaking of lands. A plot of land on Splinterlands goes for $700 at current prices. I had the chance to buy when it was just $20 but I slept on it. A full land(region) recently got sold for almost $700k. I don’t know about you but if I was given the option, I’ll def put my money in a digital land on Splinterlands than the physical one in Nigeria. Maybe it’s just me though.
Interesting how a lot of self acclaimed experts try to explain the metaverse but end up making it so seem so complex. This is practically as good ast it gets and understandably we are in the very early stages of it.
The whole world has become a digital global village, powered by the internet, blockchain technology, VR and AR technology among others, a Metaverse where we operate under totally different protocols than what we are used to in the physical realm.
I mean, just look at our model of Decentralized governance on Hive, DPOS, employing a stake weighted voting system, a DAO, totally different from what we have in the centralized physical realm.
These are things that have never existed before. As humans, we have evolved from living in a Universe to living in Metaverse.
Check out the monetary system, DeFi, talking about liquidity pools and permissionless automated market making, enabling operations that aren’t possible in the physical realm on TradFi. NFT’s, web3.0, GameFi, extending the possibilities of gaming, Art, property in the physical realm.
Again, we are still very much in the early stages, we may not have all the gadgets it’ll take to make it as immersive as the movies we watch. While some are trying to stall this inevitable innovation by creating stumbling blocks, some are already living it to its full capacity given the tools available at this time and others haven’t come to the realization of it.
My hope is that when more people become aware, that they’ll discover HIVE, because it is truly one ecosystem in its entirety that gives the realest experience of the Metaverse.
Thanks for reading. I’ll love to read your thoughts on the comments.

I love this idea you brought out! That is such a different idea to think about digital lands! I laughed at the thought of your dad dadsplaning, and also about how he had 2 lands already. 🤣 .
I’m glad you found it interesting, heh I just coined the word while writing, it sounds like mansplaining but it’s not mansplaining, dadsplaining felt perfect.

Hehe I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks nice ser 🥂
Digital lands are awesome. Easier to buy/sell/rent/produce on. I did get a few Splinterlands plots but in hindsight I wish I got more! :)
Digital lands will be even more awesome, it’s the instant utility that’ll come with it that will even be more amazing.
When splinterlands fully launches lands, people will become digital landlords, literally digital landlords. They will earn passive income just by being landlords. It’s just amazing!

Someone was explaining how I need to get a small piece of land in Lagos for 500k that in 2 years it could be worth 700k or 1 million. I laughed and said after inflation kills the Naira by that time, do you think you have invested? Virtual land is the gold mine right now
Correct. The economy of the country is too unstable for such projections, I’ll rather put my money where I don’t have to worry that the govt will not take the land and do uhhbeee in my face just cause they can

Being a digital monad i can't but agree with you on the importance of the digital sphere and how it is shaping our lives. I dare say anyone who isn't here now is missing out on the future where the digital sphere is more important than our physical world.
Hi @mistakili
Your post was very timely, even now October 31st, it seems right on time. I agree that the Metaverse actually already exists and most people don’t realize it. But for the reasons you just mentioned.
We now spend more hours on line, with friends then we spend physically with friends. And I think many share your feelings of being more closely connected to their online community then the one in which they live in…
It’s odd how the more time we spend on the Internet, something which was meant to connect us, the less time we spend with people physically.
Yes, the metaverse is here, and we are in it.
And I wish I bought some land also LOL!

Aye Shorsegments! Thank you 😊
I know right!
We will have to find a way to balance our physical and digital lives, but at this point this is what it is...for me, the digital is much more fun and liveable than the physical, maybe that will change in the future. For now I’m cruising the digital and loving it and it isn’t even in its peak yet

Question,
I formed a guild with two friends and now we have about 12 members. We are doing dailies to earn scrolls, but after we reached 15 scrolls no more accumulate. I think this is because we need to get to level 2 in our first building first. Is that correct?

Interesting. I’ve not gotten into the guilds arena before, I don’t know what’s happening there...
But I think you’re correct, you’ll probably need to get to level 2
