Let me know your thoughts:
5. MANA (Decentraland): Connects digital currency with the purchase or land. Think about that - buying parcels of land online in an instant by using their marketplace platform. How fucking cool is that? MANA is a direct and actual use-case example, and its based upon real estate. I'm just learning more about MANA, but other than THETA, I haven't seen a better use-case offering yet.
The problem with MANA is that it can be easily duplicated and right now, practically nobody plays it since almost all the best parcels of land are gone. If latecomers don't have an opportunity to get prime digital real estate without being absolutely robbed blind, it will never take off.
I think that the concept is definitely alluring, but I don't think Decentraland will be the one that succeeds with it, rather a successor will probably come along and scoop up all the people waiting for a game like Decentraland-without the caveats.
Good shout on Theta though.
