Welcome to the
MetaVerse!
Grab a soda!
Hello and Welcome to the MetaVerse!
Why dont you grab a soda while while we look around. You've probably heard a lot of buzzwords and crazy stories, and have some questions about what it all means. Let's learn some basics.
As you may have guessed, you cant buy a soda in the MetaVerse with regular money. You'll need money that works in the MetaVerse. Typically that's called cryptocurrency. There are alot of different types of cryptocurriences. Bitcoin was the first one. Our money exchanger uses the Ethereum Cryptocurrency called Ether or Eth for short. But in order to hold cryptocurrencies, you're going to need a special wallet for the Metaverse.
Just like in real life, you'll need to keep your wallet safe as it's where you keep your money. Our favorite wallet is provided by MetaMask. They have great support documents on their website if you need help. Remember, Don't ever store your seed phrase on your computer or share it with anyone. Write your seed phrase down and keep it safe.
Now that we have our new wallet for the MetaVerse, let's buy some cryptocurrency. You can buy directly in your Metamask wallet. I recommend starting with a small amount like 0.01 Eth to Start. You can buy fractions of an Eth, which is good because as Eth has gained popularity, it's become more expensive to buy.
Now that you have money (cryptocurrency) for the MetaVerse in your new wallet, you can buy the special token that the vending machine takes. Somebody took the time to make these tokens look cool and spin around. If you want, you can keep them as a souvineer in your wallet (like an arcade token).
With your new Tropical Cardboard Token, you can go to the vending machine and buy yourself a soda! Once you spend your token, it will be gone, but dont worry, you can buy more tokens while supplies last.
Choose which sodaphones you want, and confirm the transaction in your wallet. This is usually referred to as minting when you are buying something new like this.
Congratulations on your new Sodaphone! We hope you enjoy your soda while you explore the MetaVerse. You can view your soda on many different platforms like Opensea and LooksRare. These are marketplaces where items are sold and traded. This is your soda. You can choose to sell it or give it away if you would like.
Stay tuned for more things in the MetaVerse from Tropical Cardboard. There is alot to explore and we can't wait to see what new innovations happen that make our lives better. Let us know if you have any questions and we can explore together.
