Bringing Digital Currency Virtual Reality

Most people think of virtual reality

as a way to enhance the user experience, by offering a 360-degree view or having the ability to create one’s own environment to work in.

blockchain in virtual reality, on the other hand, could be quite interesting, though. Considering how this technology broadcasts all transactions on the network in real-time, there is potential for a more immersive user experience by embracing the concept of virtual reality.

Use case examples, such as smart contracts, could be explored in-depth, and additional knowledge or ideas could be gathered.

However, the focus of Bitcoin should be on the development of the currency and protocol itself right now, rather than VR.
