platform the central land is set to launch at the beginning of twenty nine thousand . users can already buy land development and sell it again earning real money. the central is a virtual world that's owned by its users so owners of ware can purchase them from each other and decide to do whatever they want with it just like in the real world they can build on it and hope other people will visit their. settings or they could go games. and users can just walk around the world and see all the cool creations about other people. marketplace users can buy and sell land using the token which can be exchanged into real money online. the users bank details are registered on the currency exchange so the converted value of the crypto currency can be transferred to their accounts.
according to news agencies one landowner on decentralized has already earned around one hundred seventy five thousand euros. particularly like the fact that the central land has no central operating company when you have one company dictating the rules and encouraging people to use it in one particular way you have. the benefit of consistency things look the same things feel the same. around one topic but here now you get to unlock the creative energy of all the possible. which should lead to more interesting diverse experiences and more collaboration across the platforms. every day office life shopping trips to the theater according to experts large parts of our lives could soon take place in virtual worlds where digital real estate could play a key role virtual property trading isn't actually knew. it existed in two thousand and three in the game second life. gamers back then to turn their virtual land into
real cash by selling it to large brands such as coca-cola but when players interest in second life began going to link these firms withdrew from the game. and i think the hype of second life is faded because the platform itself didn't offer any other game mechanism. in a system like this the value of the land is initially determined by the hype by the demand. owns. an attractive in the long term you have to find ways to retain players and for the long run. the central and tries to get users talked with the freedom to do what they want with the land the trading takes place independently of the operating company information about money and ownership is stored on the. additional register which is administered de centrally on a server network block chains are deemed to be resistant to fraud. that means that a central company's supervising the virtual trading is redundant each virtual
property gets a unique identification number. theory you can multiply virtual goods as many times as you like comes into the but the but once you store virtual goods on the block chain they can no longer be duplicated and they become unique and i think it's this uniqueness which. let's you generate value from them and in the long term the biggest challenge on this platform will be to set up some kind of secondary gaming mechanism to keep users on the platform and boost demand for its virtual goods. in spite of the run on land the virtual world of the central land doesn't go online until next year gamers are already discussing further business models such as virtual mortgages admission fees and funding for advertising. chips in concord new worlds. and now networkers digital makers and shakers today with a guy expert wojciech sonic. algorithms are getting smarter and smarter they can

in the data so if the data is falsified it can mislead the system. we had an example where a sticker was put over a stop sign and the sign was no longer recognized as a stop sign a crime for the. it will take a few years until artificial intelligence works. officially wojciech samik is doing his bit to make it happen. and now digital advice on everything to do with birth and babies the number of midwives is on the decline in germany it's not easy to find expert advice before and after the birth of a child now online midwives are poised to help via skype and chat. young mothers often have lots of questions previously unknown symptoms can arise during pregnancy looking for general answers on the internet is not always the best idea. it's not reassuring and just makes you even more uncertain this one time i googled something whether i was supposed to eat
