10. Jason Choi sums up 50 Web3 metaverse companies' interviews

"While P2E games are exciting and can evolve into more, the $1T moonshot opportunity lies in creating a virtual world in which games are only one of many use cases. Think a generalised virtual world - with permissionless creation + commerce, defined by immutable digital rights"  - Jason Choi
