'Digital Donald Trump' Elected The First President of Virtual Reality

A real campaign, with a serious mission -- NEVERDIE's platform and now his mission will revolve around making audiences around the world aware of the need to maximize the rapidly changing behavior of consumers as they evolve from passive consumers of entertainment and media -- into a much more active role -- creating, curating and interacting with content.  NEVERDIE Jacobs will announce in April the launch of a global initiative and the first major step in his strategy to build the infrastructure for VR worlds that will create the job opportunities needed to stand against Artificial Intelligence.  With everything ranging from television, music, politics to sports blurring boundaries between physical and digital (virtual) experiences, NEVERDIE's decades of work in the virtual world (creating, building and educating) will enable him and a cabinet of advisers to help millions maximize the potential of this transition. 

"Virtual reality is the greatest discovery since America and there are no limits to how great it can become," stated NEVERDIE Jacobs in his first official remarks.   "Humanity must keep pace with Artificial Intelligence as it's essential to replace the jobs that are being lost.  We can only win the first battle by acting fast and investing in virtual infrastructure to create new jobs.  Most importantly the borders are open for all entrepreneurs, pioneers, refugees and even real world governments looking to address the disruption caused by rapidly advancing technology."

"Through wide adoption of avatar skills as currency and a unified commitment to a secure global virtual goods marketplace, we can instantly disrupt the multibillion dollar video game industry to the point where people will choose the games to play based upon how much they can earn for their time and skills playing. This model will lead to massive increase in the GNP of Virtual Reality Worlds and fuel the trillion dollar VR industry, ultimately benefiting developers, users and investors alike."

NEVERDIE Jacobs has been at the frontline of pioneering Virtual Worlds for over a Decade, setting Guinness World Records for valuable virtual items and working with major Hollywood studios to bring pop culture to Virtual Worlds. His Campaign pledge in the election for the first President was to create one BILLION jobs in Virtual Reality during his initial 4 Year term in office.
