I just told someone outside of the fintwit space that $FB renamed the company to "Meta". They were clearly confused (and laughing about it). It's clear this 'metaverse' and 'web3' wave is very insulated to tech enthusiasts.
Either way, I wonder if Facebook (now Meta) will be able to get the average person to adopt the 'metaverse' or we'll find that tech is too insulated of an echo chamber.
