First demonstration in the metaverse
The very first demonstration has just taken place in the metaverse. The event, organised by the Superfluous collective, brought together several dozen avatars to denounce consumerism and capitalism.
The demonstrators gathered in front of Samsung’s virtual shop, a replica of a physical shop located in New York, where the giant had presented its new model: the Galaxy S22. All the participants proudly wore the same t-shirt that read “MoneyFestation”

Demonstrators did not carry stones or other projectiles, but signs bearing the slogan “I Have A Scream”, a reference to Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream”. The demonstration went ahead without incident.

A new phenomenon
The metaverse could be a great playground for people to express their beliefs. Even if it is decried, it is likely to become a very important vector of information and values in the coming years. When will the SNCF and RATP demonstrations take place in the metaverse?
This phenomenon could grow as many brands buy plots in the metaverse. Recently, French companies such as Carrefour, Groupe Casino and Axa France have acquired plots in The Sandbox (SAND).
Research firm Gartner recently published a survey predicting that by 2026, 25% of the population will spend an hour a day on the metaverse, either for consumption, learning, work or entertainment.
