Canadian platform

We all know Snoop Dogg’s passion for cryptos and blockchain technology. But nobody expected him to drop a new album exclusively on a blockchain platform. “B.O.D.R. (Bacc On Death Row)” will stay exclusive for Gala Music only for a day though.

On the other hand, it’s not that simple. The platform allows you to own one of the newest songs for a quite a high price. There are 25,000 Boxes released of The Snoop Stash , each one costing $5,000. Every box includes one random track from the album. Thus, as the long play includes 17 compositions, there will only be 1,470 NFTs of each song.

For those, who are not interested in the NFTs or don’t want to pay such the price for one song, “B.O.D.R. (Bacc On Death Row)” will become available on music streaming services tomorrow, on February 11th 2022.

Why You Should Care Of course, this deal is not for most people, who just want to listen to Snoop’s music. These NFTs are mostly for collectors and people who like to gather all the exclusive stuff related to their favourite artist. Also, Gala Games promised some exclusive in-game mechanics for holders of Snoop Dogg NFTs

In the last two years, humans have collectively realized that it’s very hard to beat a face-to-face interaction. However Several years ago I was at a space industry conference and a company was showing off its software that is used in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headsets. I got to try it on, and though I could still see the space around me, a life-size CAD drawing of the NASA Curiosity Rover was sitting in front of me. The size of a large car, I was able to walk around it, see all the specs, and use my hand controls to highlight a part and see specific data. I could even stick my head into the vehicle to see interior parts. At that moment I realized that, if I could have this in a virtual room with my clients, and we could all walk around the model to point, discuss, ask questions, and take notes… then face-to-face meetings have become overrated.

It seems that time will soon be here—thanks to the metaverse.

What is the Metaverse?

Now that we know it is headed this way, it’s probably a good time to ask: what exactly is the metaverse?

Based on some of the marketing the last few months, you would be excused for thinking that the metaverse is just a VR platform. What makes the metaverse unique isn’t the VR, though that is a key element. The metaverse is the merging of digital spaces, social outlets, and an overarching economy; and it is all experienced in an interconnected, immersive way. Because the idea as a practical application is so new, we have to look at science fiction to see imagined versions of it. While some versions are hopeful, others are dystopian. One that actually seems most likely (at some point) is the version seen in Ready Player One, because that version shows so many use cases of what a metaverse can be.
