Vitalik Buterin Questions the Utility of the Metaverse
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his skepticism about the Metaverse in a recent Twitter Spaces discussion. > "I don't know what the Metaverse is for," Buterin said. "AI and crypto have shown use cases, but I don't see any for the Metaverse yet." Buterin believes other technologies, such as AI and crypto, have demonstrated clear benefits: AI enhances productivity through tasks like coding and image creation, while crypto provides access to global payments and decentralized social networks. He urged the Metaverse to define its purpose and value proposition more clearly. Despite his reservations, Buterin emphasized that he remains open to learning more about the potential of the Metaverse.
