Step into the Metaverse Podcast: EP01 - Understanding the Metaverse Economy with Jamie Burke

In this episode of The Step into the Metaverse Podcast, I had a chat with Jamie Burke, the Founder and CEO of Outlier Ventures, one of the most important incubators and accelerators in the Web3 space. Jamie provides an overview of bitcoin and blockchain and the ways that companies can aggressively push their businesses forward with emerging technologies. Burke is a pioneer in the blockchain industry.

As Europe's 1st Web 3.0 blockchain venture builder, he and his team have pushed forward on utilizing blockchain as a significant key to emerging trends (AI, Mixed Reality, IoT, and Autonomous Robotics) that will play key roles in multiple industries such as Industry 4.0, eGovt, Health, Mobility, and Smart Cities.

Jamie and I had a fascinating conversation about the open metaverse, something that Jamie is very vocal about. He says it’s important to understand that the beginnings of the Metaverse are already here, and we should not think of it as a far-off destination. He shares his deep insights based on his experience with the rise of Web 2.0, and how they relate to its successor and the growing digital asset space. We also discuss the economics of the metaverse, including metaverse finance or MetaFi, as well as the role of crypto and how brands can step into the metaverse. Enjoy the conversation!
