ABSTRACT
The purpose of this work is to analyze the relationship between the consumption of collective goods and a new
digital market. In this case, from the use of blockchain technology (such as cryptocurrency and crypto art) to
understanding how education can develop with the rise of digital multiculturalism. Therefore, in the current work, we
have analyzed what is the conceptual relationship of collection in history. Now, at the second moment, we have developed
the description of cryptocurrency blockchain, and then analyzed NFT. Finally, it reviews metaverse’s education and vision
and how to use these new digital technologies in order to put forward typical suggestions and reflections in the field of
education.
Keywords: digital education; blockchain; cryptocurrency; encryption art; NFT; metaverse; collection
1. Introduction
On October 28, 2021, Facebook founder Mark
Zuckerberg launched a project called meta, which
integrates Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp and
other products, thus opening an immersive
possibility for what we know as metaverse.
According to Lorena Fernandez, metaverse can be
defined as “a virtual and immersive world parallel
to ourselves, but connected with the simulated
world”. It is also true, but in it, our self is not made
up of bones and skin, but of 1 and 0
[1]
. Even in order
to make this experience more realistic, meta has
begun to develop tools such as tactile gloves, which
allow users to touch digital objects as if they were
real, and even simulate textures, edges, vibrations,
etc. The above is only a reference for the progress
of the project, which is already a reality. According
to experts at the end of this century, we will spend
more time in the metaverse rather than in physical
reality
[2]
.
According to Bloomberg intelligence’s recent
news estimates, metaverse’s market opportunities
may reach $800 billion by 2024
[2]
. Even Bank of
America points out that metaverse will create a
strong economy from work to leisure, while
changing traditional industries and markets such as
finance and banking, shops and education, health
and fitness, and adult entertainment
[2]
. It is worth
noting that metaverse is not a new project, because
it can be traced back to the early 1990s. The
innovation lies in how much economic investment
has been invested. Therefore, we can point out that
this is a transformation of the economic paradigm.
