Metaverso y Cripto para principiantes
by Adidas WilsonAparentemente los blockchain se harán cargo de la mayoría de los aspectos que rigen el mundo de las finanzas, y probablemente se convertirán en un hito para avanzar en las instituciones financieras y otros aspectos de la industria. Lo primero y más importante sobre el blockchain son sus características técnicas, que permiten transacciones entre personas anónimas, a la vez que hace que el sistema sea seguro para todos. Mejor aún, como el sistema no está sujeto a regulaciones por parte de bancos o gobiernos, ofrece una influencia sin precedentes para los usuarios por sobre la mayoría de los demás servicios financieros. El término metaverso fue usado por primera vez en una novela de ciencia ficción de 1992 llamada Snow Crash. Retrataba a los humanos como avatares que interactuaban entre sí y con agentes de software, que la cadena HBO está buscando producir en formato serie de televisión. En una explicación más detallada, el metaverso combina tecnologías que incluyen realidad virtual, que consiste en una comunidad en línea en la cual los usuarios interactúan entre sí en un mundo simulado de realidad aumentada que combina tanto el mundo físico como el digital.
