El. knyga: Money in the Metaverse: Digital assets, online identities, spatial computing and why virtual worlds mean real business

"Being a father to a son who is a huge Roblox fan, I'm very much aware of how comfortable the next generation already is with the Metaverse, and how entirely at home they are imagining the application of digital money and assets in that context. In fact, I pay my 14-year-old son's allowance in Robux. So when Birch and Richardson map out the potential of business in these emerging virtual worlds, the cynics should listen. We were always going to end up doing business in the Metaverse, the only question was how quickly it would become a major sector in its own right." - Brett King, bestselling author of Bank 4.0, Branch Today Gone Tomorrow and The Rise of Technosocialism.;"Provocative, insightful, and entertaining, this book is a perfect reminder that we're still in the early stages of a digital revolution. For enterprises both big and small, understanding this is essential to ensuring one's digital future, and this book provides an important practical framework for planning your journey." - Alan W. Brown, professor in digital economy, Exeter Business School.;"In Money in the Metaverse Birch and Richardson explain the role of trust, security, data and DeFi in what will soon be a dominant domain for business: the Metaverse." - Ross Buckley, Australian Research Council Laureate and Scientia Professor at UNSW Sydney.;"A must-read book for anyone wanting to delve into the future of financial services." - Jim Marous, The Financial Brand.;"Rarely does a business-oriented book bring as much imagination to underpin its arguments as this one does." - Eva Pascoe, co-founder of Cyberia, London's first internet cafe.;"In a field full of hype and hand-waving, this is precisely the book we need: deeply researched, wide-ranging, systematic and incisive. This is the metaverse as a virtualisation of everything from commerce and leisure to industry and identity. An essential guide to the new infrastructures of value, exchange and trust that are shaping the twenty-first century." - Tom Chatfield, author of Wise Animals: How Technology Has Made Us What We Are.;
