The loneliness epidemic, which is becoming a major worry in the digital era, may be resolved by emerging Web3 metaverse platforms. Bay Backner, chief producer of Decentraland and assistant university lecturer, believes that decentralized metaverse platforms like The Sandbox and Decentraland could foster more authentic online relationships. In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph at the European Blockchain Convention in Barcelona, Backner stated: "In terms of Maslow's hierarchy of wants, we have connection and self-actualization. That is really alluring for a virtual world that is capable of doing that. That explains why people become so enthused about those realms and the connections they forge within them. https://lnkd.in/dfFQ4yuH
