The metaverse is used to describe the concept of a future iteration of the internet, made up of persistent, shared, 3D virtual spaces linked into a perceived virtual universe. As such if it will be successful, it will have implications in many economic and accounting related fields such as ownership, taxation, asset valuation, etc.. Please discuss and describe the impacts you think the metaverse will have on accounting related topics as well as if you think the metaverse will be a success in the long term or not.
