Bitcoin Quotes

“Everyone seems to suffer from "metaverse FOMO" right now. To a certain extent, it's like the mid-'90s all over again. During the internet boom, companies that added a ".com" suffix to their names (even though they had nothing to do with the Internet) experienced abnormal returns in terms of stock value. That's precisely what is happening with any brand with the words crypto, blockchain, metaverse, or Web3 attached to it.”

“At some point, almost overnight, everyone started talking about the metaverse. It was suddenly treated like the Next Big Thing, even though most of the central blocks of the metaverse (digital twins, iCommerce, Business-to-Avatar advertising, etc.) have been around for years. To make things worse, it makes no sense to me to see a bunch of experts talking ABOUT the metaverse in a 2D environment. It's like talking about the Internet possibilities over a fax machine.”

“The metaverse is evolutionary, not revolutionary. It will unlikely replace traveling tout-court, but it will definitely play a role in it, especially in the early, top-funnel touchpoints of the traveler's journey. Currently, we pick a hotel founding our decision based on photos, videos, and reviews only, while the metaverse could provide a more immersive experience, and allow us to immerse in a destination, book a hotel room or a restaurant table while sitting at our couch, and -eventually- live the experience in the physical world. It's what I call "travel research on steroids." No static image, 2D video, or website will ever be able to deliver a comparable experience. It's the next level of the "try before you buy" concept. And, quite frankly, we're just scratching the surface.”

“Interoperability is the biggest challenge for brands trying to enter the metaverse. The risk of betting in the wrong m-world and being left empty-handed in five years is real. Interoperability of platforms is not a prerequisite for the metaverse, but without it, we'll end up working in silos with the same (disastrous) Web 2.0's paradigm. We must make sure that environments, objects, avatars, NFTs, avatar skins, etc. can be moved from one platform to the other. I should be able to play Axie Infinity, sell my Axie on OpenSea, get paid in Ethereum, buy an avatar skin in Minecraft, and then wear it in Decentraland. That's the central concept of decentralization (and the core idea of Web 3.0). Are we there yet? Definitely not.”

“Oggi, scegliamo un hotel basando la nostra decisione su foto, video e recensioni: il Metaverso potrebbe fornire un’esperienza più coinvolgente e permetterci di visitare una destinazione, prenotare una camera d’albergo o un tavolo al ristorante, entrare in un museo mentre siamo seduti sul nostro divano, per poi vivere l’esperienza in real life.”

“La narrazione della realtà virtuale come sinonimo di metaverso va smantellata. Non è virtuale. Non è aumentato. Non è fisico. Non è misto. È TUTTE queste cose. Inoltre, suggerisco di non pensare al metaverso come a una nuova tecnologia, quanto piuttosto a una convergenza di tecnologie preesistenti in un unico paradigma. Ricordi il primo iPhone? Non aveva nulla di innovativo. L’innovazione era quella di far convergere, in un unico device, tecnologie pre-esistenti (camere digitali, mp3 player, ecc.). NFT, Web 3.0, blockchain, decentralizzazione, DAO, DeFi… Tutto questo è metaverso. La realtà virtuale è un pezzetto infinitesimale.”

“To a certain extent, NFTs will likely be the bridge to the metaverse. For now, however, MΞMORIED, The Emotional Journey, and THE EXPERIENTIAL IN BETWEEN are nothing more than Marriott getting its foot in the metaverse door. However, it's still quite an interesting mentality shift. We'll probably see more exciting technology adoptions in the next three to five years, but this is a cool start, nonetheless.”

“An early incarnation of the metaverse can already be seen in gaming, one of the most (if not the most) immersive digital industries in the world, so if you're into video games, the whole concept may not be entirely new to you. Fitness is another industry where both VR and AR have been used quite heavily in recent years, so it would not be surprising that the foundations of the metaverse could emerge from these industries. Moreover, applications of VR/AR have been massively democratized recently. But let's not kid ourselves: this journey will go on for decades. First of all, the metaverse needs some infrastructures that not only do not exist today, but the whole Internet landscape has not been originally created to support such a revolutionary platform. Moreover, we will need standards and protocols (possibly from day one) exactly as we have for the Internet today, and -because of the complexity of the metaverse- this could take years. Not to mention the privacy and regulation concerns that building the metaverse can trigger. At this stage, therefore, any prediction on how the metaverse will look won't be much more than pure speculation, and the risk that the "hype" turns into "a bubble" is quite tangible.”

“The metaverse is far from being just VR. The metaverse, conceptually, is not Fornite, Minecraft, or The Sims. It's not an Instagram filter that turns you into a unicorn. It's not a Black Mirror episode, either. It's a new way to interact with reality(ies), being real-life, AR, VR, or MR. But, more interesting, the metaverse can (and probably will) be a fully functioning economy. How this will affect travel is still largely unknown, and even though I can foresee some of the Metaverse applications, the "hows and whys" are still nebulous.”

“In everyday conversation, when we refer to an event that happens "after" something else, we use the Latin prefix "post." "Meta" sounds more exotic, but it's just its Greek counterpart. However, the Hellenic prefix is slightly more nuanced, as it also means "about." So, when defining a meta-universe (a meta-verse), we have to consider both connotations of the term: a universe "beyond" the one we currently inhabit and one that's also self-referral. A post-universe. A meta-universe. In a word: a metaverse.”

“Want to visit the Ciudad Perdida, Atlantis, or Ancient Rome? You can travel back in time and experience something you can no longer do in the physical world (aka the "meat space"). Wanna check another planet out? Yup. Inspect your meeting room two weeks before the actual congress? Sure! Can the metaverse help persons with reduced mobility (PRM) take that trip they always dreamt of? You bet. The "embodied internet" is virgin territory for the hospitality industry (for any industry, for that matter), and we're still in the embryo stage of the technology.”

“Il Cambridge Dictionary definisce l’atto di viaggiare come “muoversi, di solito su una lunga distanza”. Nel metaverso, tuttavia, il concetto stesso di spazio non ha senso. Ecco perché la maggior parte degli addetti ai lavori è ancora scettica sulle applicazioni pratiche del metaverso in ambito turistico. Se si rimuove una parte essenziale (la distanza) dall’equazione travel, rimane solo il movimento. E resta, quindi, anche la domanda cruciale: viaggiare senza muoversi è ancora viaggiare?”

“Pensa a come è cambiata la nostra percezione di una parola come “amico”. Fino al 2004, un amico era una persona fisica che frequentavi nella vita reale. Post-social, il termine ha assunto anche un altro significato, ovvero quello di una “connessione virtuale”, con la quale potresti potenzialmente non aver mai scambiato una parola. O pensa all’inglese “cloud”: prima di Microsoft Azure e AWS, una “nuvola” era semplicemente condensa di vapore acqueo. Il turismo potrebbe condividere un destino simile, modificando e allargando il proprio significato in modi che possiamo solo intravedere oggi.”

“Secondo il Journal Nature Climate Change, il turismo è responsabile dell’8% delle emissioni di anidride carbonica dell’economia globale. E se è vero che circa il 75% dell’inquinamento viene prodotto dai mezzi di trasporto (sia aerei che terrestri), il 21% è da ricondurre esclusivamente al consumo energetico delle strutture alberghiere. Sono cifre che fanno riflettere. Trovare alternative praticabili a un settore così poco sostenibile come il nostro non è solo auspicabile. È, a questo punto, obbligatorio.”

“Idee per innovare un sistema turistico e dell’ospitalità così tradizionale come quello italiano? Nessuna. Non c’è speranza. Ora abbiamo pure resuscitato Italia.it. Siamo al nonsense! Venti milioni di euro buttati nel 2007 per un progetto che era già obsoleto 15 anni fa. Se li avessero investiti in bitcoin ora avremmo nove trilioni di euro da destinare al settore. Il ministero del turismo crede davvero che una tecnologia creata nel ‘91 abbia ancora una qualche rilevanza nel 2022? Se si, ve la mostro in prospettiva: quando veniva pubblicato il primo sito web, Riccardo Cocciante vinceva Sanremo con “Se stiamo insieme.” Ecco, puntare su Italia.it oggi è l’equivalente di mandare Cocciante all’Eurovision al posto dei Maneskin.”

“Non credo si debba lavorare con le istituzioni, ma sabotarle. La mia visione è cryptoanarchica. Non mi fido delle istituzioni, ma mi fido del consenso crittografico e della sua trasparenza. Quando realizzeranno il loro pieno potenziale, le DAO porteranno a un processo di decentralizzazione che ridurrà/annullerà il potere delle istituzioni. “Proprio come la tecnologia di stampa ha alterato e ridotto il potere delle corporazioni medievali e la struttura del potere sociale,” scriveva Timothy May già nell’88, “così i metodi crittografici altereranno la natura delle corporazioni e dell’interferenza del governo.”Bisognerebbe creare una specie di “Progetto Mayhem” in stile Fight Club.”

“As the government of different nations, through the Central banks, are making adoption of Blockchain products difficult for the people, which in return, affects the bank's profit, it won't be long until some of these traditional institutions find a way to circumvent it and create a backdoor loop that would blow everything out of water.”

“Web3 is the next-gen internet powered by blockchain technology, ultimately preventing censorship and mass surveillance by government and third-party organizations. It is not just about the ape pictures on OpenSea, it comprises an enhanced web browser, an encryption-first email distribution framework, a decentralized social media that gives power back to you, and much more services that are equally distributed to put you in charge of your data to curb exploitation.”
