Adam Draper is the founder of Boost VC, which a technology accelerator that has funded over 70 VR companies and over 100 crypto companies since 2012. He's been in a really unique position to understand how blockchain technologies and the more immersive virtual and augmented reality technologies are both approaching an inflection point. But he also sees that these two technologies are on a convergence path towards creating a decentralized metaverse. I had a chance to catch up with Draper to talk about how virtual reality needs to be a foundational aspect of talking about how it enables a more immersive and embodied experience of whatever the metaverse ends up evolving into. We also debate many different deeper philosophical and ethical aspects of the crypto world that I had some personal reservations about.
