I read the article this morning. I'm not so sure this will be a benefit to conglomerates like Tokens.com which had created a pro-prietory system to already rent out land to large name-brands. On the other hand, this may re-kindle a lot of foot-traffic again, which will benefit landlords, so maybe it will be a wash for them. https://cointelegraph.com/news/decentraland-launches-virtual-property-renting-for-land-owners
Loved Monopoly, unfortunately the income couldn't buy real houses Tokens.com (COIN on the NEO Stock Exchange) was actually cash-flow positive for a while... then the Fed deflated all that. I'm still sitting on the edge here debating on when to make a move. Collecting real estate in REITs every month, and willing at the big red sales-tags to add some digitized real estate for once. Yes, it may be silly, or it could be another 10x-100x bagger again. One thing I don't like is that one of the co-founders of Decentraland left to work on a competing project. Well, that's a big kink now in Decentraland's moat.
