Ethereum Co-Founder Joe Lubin: Today's Metaverse Is Internet Circa 1994

Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin is confident that the metaverse will one day encompass the full human experience. But he’s equally confident that day is still years away. "I think [using the metaverse today] is a little bit like logging on to the internet in 1994," Lubin said earlier this month. "Where you would dial the internet, and I used to go get a coffee and breakfast and then I’d come back, and my email would be downloaded." Though Lubin acknowledges that the user experience currently offered by metaverse projects is comparably clunky, he’s adamant that the metaverse a future, immersive version of the internet will become as ubiquitous as email.
