How To Make Money On Virtual Land
Exploring Decentraland and Mana
Virtual land. No you’re not crazy.
I saw it coming in a weird way. Back in 2016, I used to play this game called Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. It’s basically Call of Duty for the PC, in case you’re not familiar.
In CS:GO you could spend hard-earned cash on virtual weapon skins. These ranged from graffiti-styled dragons draped across your sniper rifle, or a significantly more subtle gold-fade gradient on your knife.
Skins were a way to flex off your wallet in Counter-Strike. It was the virtual equivalent to a guy cruising around in a red hot Ferrari (who totally doesn’t have a small penis by the way).
Flexing is in our DNA. Whether it’s your clothes, car or virtual skins in a video game; everyone wants to look badass.
Today, you can still buy CS:GO skins for thousands of dollars and some even appreciate in value. Skins became their own currency and no one except this relatively small gaming community knew it.
So, this leads us to virtual land; the hot new craze which stands to severely widen the scope of digital flexing.
