META: Budget Cut Won't Close Earnings Gap !
@JC888:
In The Beginning. In 2021, Mark Zuckerberg recast Facebook as $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ and declared the metaverse, the company’s next great frontier. He framed it as the “successor to the mobile internet” and said Meta would be “metaverse-first”, whatever that means. The Definition. Metaverse is supposedly a digital realm where people would work, socialize, and spend much of their lives. It sounds so futuristic and technologically advanced, 4 years ago when Metaverse concept was first promoted. The hype was not all Zuckerberg though. Grayscale, the investment firm specializing in crypto, branded Metaverse a trillion-dollar revenue opportunity. Barbados (country) even opened an embassy in Decentraland, one of the worlds in the metaverse.
