I made a video about a virtual reality platform called Decentraland.

What makes Decentraland special is the fact that virtual land here is worth thousands of real dollars since it cannot be confiscated. This is because their database is stored in a distributed ledger with no central authority AKA the Ethereum blockchain.

Trust me guys, this one is different. Or better yet don't trust me, verify it yourself.  They have a real working product and its amazing! I made the video thinking about gamers and VR/AR fans. I did my best to make it look professional. Enjoy the video

Are you talking about the decentraland on coinmarketcap?
Despite the acclaimed thousands of dollars being spend on it, i have not seen much differently in the price, after checking though the historical data on coinmarketcap.

It's not just about the price. The price may not move doesn't mean the team isn't working hard on it.

This is not a new platform, so who has not seen it yet, do not be surprised. I myself personally have several plots of land in this platform that I bought for real money. Very exciting project

Recently I even came across an article on the Internet, which I read without stopping. In it write as what the man earned on resale alternatively virtual land about $150k. That's why I bought until the platform became more popular and prices rose

Well, basically you are shilling decentraland and trying to get more views on your youtube channel.
Plus, you're doing it from a no merit newbie account which means your motivations are questionable.

However, decentraland itself is a pretty great platform, so I'll help you promote it.
Out of all of the VR projects out there, decentraland absolutely stomps them all.
Mainly for the simple fact that it actually works lol.
Also, it's been around since last year and is getting a great deal of market penetration.

For content creators, it is a godsend.
The ability to go straight to developing without contracts or beaurocracy makes it open to everyone.
So if you are looking to invest in a VR project, decentraland is it.

First time I read and saw a video about it, kinda interesting have checked it on coinmarketcap and they have a huge market behind it https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/decentraland/#markets this has a good potential to be huge in the future, just missed this one in their ICO stage.

What is the benefit of owning virtual land? If you are looking at it from a gamers point of view OK it can be interesting and fun to do.
But how does it benefit the lives of non-gamers AR/VR fans for example?

This is a good project and I continue to like it, I have invested some money in it and am waiting for the project to develop further. I do not think that this is a fraud and my money will be wasted. The project has a good team and partnership with strong crypto projects. Their social networks are active and the team communicates with the community. The success of the project will depend on the scale of acceptance by its gamers. In any case, now this is an interesting project with prospects for development!

As world is moving towards virtual reality and augmented reality after the massive innovations and technological upgrades but personally i somehow do not like vr/ar platforms but keeping in mind the trend i think decentraland will definitely excel.

Yes they have a lot of partnerships and a strong community. According to the founders, their community is one of the main factors of their success.

They have partnered with other blockchain games like CryptoBeasties, cryptocarz, this is like a network effect protection against competitors. Actually I'm more worried of competitors outdoing them than them failing because obviously a lot of people love this shit. I know some of us think that vr is like taking away human connection but that's beside the point. People will do what they want to do and they want this because it gives them more freedom to be able to hangout with friends from thousands of miles away as if they were in the same room. People love that. There's nothing we can do even if we hate it. I don't personally hate it but I do love a real-world tangible human contact. Nevertheless, I think this is a lot of fun too.

Like the idea for gaming and VR for sure... but this is one sector i think will have huge competition so have to wait and see which get the network effect

Of course with a great implementation of VR and huge team of devs then this will be massive.

While actual land can be confiscated, people can really live there and decentralized virtual land looks more like something for gaming experience. Kind of like decentralized Minecraft or something. Is it made for games? Or do you think the world will soon become like in "Ready player one" and people will actually pretty much live there?
Author of the video, please try to speak faster next time, it's too slow and monotonous.

In our modern society, technology develops pretty quickly, and people often get tired of real life and sometimes simply do not want to live, but thanks to technology they have the opportunity to acquire virtual earth and do what they want on it and this is quite an interesting idea.

It's not too late to invest though. Especially Land. They have a marketplace available on their website.

Decentraland is a very intriguing platform, specially for next generation of gamers. But still i do not see a real benefit of this other than in the gaming eco-system.


Attention is the greatest asset of mankind today. The internet owns majority of it now if many people will hang out in this virtual world you can advertise there or monetize your virtual real estate through ads. Let's say you the museum National Geographic would probably pay a lot of a placement of their logo inside.

Yes you are right. Reality doesn't really make sense anyway. Science doesn't have the answer and religion dangerously think they do.

What is stopping someone from just doing the exact same thing and copying them? That way someone else can have the same virtual land, I already see there are other virtual land coins such as arcona.

The same logic could be applied to Bitcoin. Because what is stopping someone from just doing the exact same thing and copying Bitcoin, right? Well, the network effect surely helps. Sure, people can create other virtual worlds in the future but Decentraland will own majority of of gamers' interest due to first mover advantage and as a consequence, user trust.

Only the code can be stolen, not the platform nor the users or the ownership of properties. If someone wants to copy they will need to almost start from scratch. If they copy the world exactly the same and issue a new token, why would anyone wanna be in an imitation platform? They'd rather go to the original so its pointless to do that too

Wouldn't it allow someone to issue the same land just on a different platform? Someone developing VR or AR for that area could pick up the land somewhere else and then the owner on another platform wouldn't really have exclusivity.
