Who or what will control the metaverse? And, what exactly is the metaverse anyway? coingecko's bobbyong shares his thoughts ahead our CryptoState2022 stop next week in Southeast Asia:
CoinDesk: Describe the most important thing you do in three sentences.
Bobby Ong: I lead all the non-technical aspects of CoinGecko. This means that most of my time is spent leading our teams in operations, marketing, business development, research, finance and HR. I have frequent discussions with my team to put in place processes to scale CoinGecko, work on problem resolutions and recruitment.Bobby Ong: The page that I look at most frequently on CoinGecko is mypage.
Bobby Ong: What I think will happen in the next few years is that there will be many metaverses competing for users’ attention, one of which will be the metaverse built by Meta. I think Meta will have a tough time trying to gain metaverse market share if they are planning on building on a closed ecosystem. Eventually, I think Meta will be forced to embrace the open, decentralized future to garner users.
That said, Meta has a powerful asset in its hand as it owns the virtual reality hardware company, Oculus. It remains to be seen how Meta will leverage its control of the Oculus hardware devices to gain an edge in future metaverses.
