World GDP by 2035 is $200 Trillion
People conservatively will live in a Metaverse an average of 4 hours or 25% of their waking day or $50 Trillion of it.
Even if you are conservative, Metaverse is a $30 Trillion opportunity.
Ignore at your own peril
- rsynnott 4y ago… Why would they do that, tho? Like, the real world exists, just outside the door. I think VR advocates possibly are inclined to overestimate just how much people will like VR. It seems fairly plausible that it remains a niche hobby.

- ben_w 4y ago25% of time != 25% of economic value. There's 122 waking hours in a week, so by way of example: the USA's workforce of 155 million (much smaller than the population as a whole) does an average of 35 hours per week, which means the entire productive output of the economy is squeezed into 12.9% of the entire population's waking hours. Some of the non-productive time involves other people getting paid, but (excluding taxes and rent which I don't think make a difference in this scenario) not all of it. Also think about how Linux and Wikipedia are free even if your internet connection and device(s) aren't.
