Globant's Co-Founder Thinks Companies Should Be Serious About Metaverse, NFTs, and Crypto
Guibert Englebienne, the co-founder of Globant, an Argentinian software development company, stated that all companies should be aware of what nascent technologies such as crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse are offering. Englebienne explained that these new technologies might disrupt the operations of existing businesses and that investment in time is needed to understand these effects.
Globant Co-founder Takes New Tech Seriously
Many
industries are starting to touch crypto and its derived products tangentially,
including the tech sector, and many companies are worried about its impact on our lives. Guibert Englebienne, one of the co-founders of Globant, the
Argentinian tech unicorn, has explained that this effect and the new
tech that is emerging from the amalgamation of crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse
sector should not be ignored.
Englebienne
bases his opinion on the ample scope that these sectors have and how this can
affect other businesses that are tangentially close to crypto, like tech. In an
interview with local media, he stated:
"Organizations in
general, when they grow, crystallize into a business model that has been
favorable to them and on which they have developed a habit and a custom, but
the appearance of new technologies will generate disruption to your business.
Devoting a part of your time to being able to understand this is
essential."
NFT, Crypto, and Metaverse Enthusiast
Englebienne,
as co-founder of Globant, is a fan of these new technologies, including
the metaverse, NFTs, and crypto. Regarding the metaverse, he believes that
while the tech is legit, there is still too much noise surrounding it.
According to him, the air needs to be cleared to comprehend the real uses and
potential of this new technology.
On crypto,
Englebienne also has a positive attitude. However, he believes that this new
bear market might be positive for the sector. He declared:
"Regarding the recent falls in the
markets, I think this is healthy to some extent because it cleans up the
landscape and separates those projects that have a solid value proposition
versus those that are simply speculation."
Furthermore,
he stated that bitcoin is "good as a diversification strategy and if one
believes in cryptocurrencies, being able to make a bet on it, but always in a
reasonable way."
The
co-founder of Globant is also a believer when it comes to NFTs and their
possible uses, saying that they enable interesting business models, but that
there must be interesting projects using NFTs that understand "the real
potential behind the technology," instead of just using it as part of the
current euphoria.
