Keanureeves Discusses Crypto, Metaverse and NFTs

Famous Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves talked about cryptocurrency, the metaverse, digital content, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in an interview with the Verge last week.

Reeves was interviewed by Carrie-Anne Moss, her co-star in “The Matrix Awakens” a playable tech demo created by Epic Games. They also discussed what to expect from the upcoming Matrix Resurrections movie. They also talked about how technology blurs the lines between real and virtual.

Reeves discussed the metaverse and Facebook during the interview. The social media giant recently changed its name from Meta. “Can we not have metaverses like those invented by Facebook?” he asked, further elaborating:

The concept of metaverse is like way older than that.

He also was asked: “Does it feel dystopian, like the original Matrix presented all of this… kinda dystopian where tech headed .”

Reeves replied, “Yeah,” adding: “Because it’s also content creation, it’s fine, it’s economic creation, cryptocurrency…”

The Matrix star didn’t finish answering the question after he was interrupted with a question about cryptocurrency ownership. Moss and he were both asked: “Are you either into cryptocurrency personally?” Reeves replied:

A friend of mine bought some for me a while back.

Reeves was asked about his cryptocurrency. He replied, “But you haven’t done anything with them?” He was then explained what hodling is. He admitted that he has a hodl.

Reeves was asked if he had seen the Matrix NFTs in the Matrix Resurrections movie. Reeves admitted that he had not seen them and asked if Moss is getting any money for them.

When asked what he thought about the concept of digital scarcity, Reeves laughed and added that they are still “easily reproduced.” You can see the full interview here.
