Imagine, you wake up in the morning, do your usual routine, grab your cup of coffee and head off to the office, sounds pretty typical, right? Except in this reality your office is wherever YOU want, the homefront, a local café, the beach. As long as you dawn your VR headset you’re ready to open up shop for the day from wherever YOU please. Throughout the day you interact with customers through the live P2P network, sell your wares, and when break time rolls around you visit the virtual casino.
After making a few easy dollars you head on back to the grind. You rearrange the Feng Shui, hang a few pictures and tally up your sales for the day before heading out to see a movie at the virtual cinema with a group of your best pals. Once the movie’s over you take a stroll around town...stop by your shop to find all's well, remove your headset and are home, home at last. What a day!
This reality might sound like science fiction but just like VIBE's ability to bring performances, education and entertainment to you wherever you are MANA Coin gives you the ability to grow the business of your dreams from the ground up in a virtual world. An open standard platform, the coin allows users to purchase land, 1 parcel for 1000 Mana along busy digital streets, erasing borders and travel time. According to the Mana Coin white paper using a “core system that allows global, instant, and cost-effective payments between any two users on the internet” it will drive customers from all over the world straight to the doorstep of your creation contriving revenue for expansion and supporting Decentraland, the digital community.
Available on Bittrex, Binance and HitBTC among other exchanges, Decentraland’s ErC20 token is #108 on Coinmarketcap. Starting out in 2015 development has spanned the ages, specifically according to their roadmap, the Stone Age to the Iron age thus far. In the beginning users journeyed into the void...a pixelated grid with a promise that proof of work would yield them land validated by the Ethereum blockchain.
3 years later contributors and early adopters are not only customizing their land parcels using script but they also have access to live chat support and avatars as the world around them continues to evolve. Big things are coming as the Silicon Age looms in the distance.
In just a few years what was once an idea has exploded into unlimited possibility with integration available everywhere you look. With a market cap of $92,086,594 Mana coin has risen in BTC value more than 400% at its highest peak correcting to just under 250% heading down to the next support line. With a value of around 1100 Satoshis, the 1-day charts show a bull market and an uptick in volume can be seen on the 4-hour chart.

According to Decentraland’s once the Silicon Age launches a “full fledged 3d World” will be at the forefront of your imagination. As parcels develop into hubs allowances given to new users matriculate into the economies to support new beginnings and growth. Just like in the real world, in Decentraland almost everything has a place and nearly anything goes. Land is scarce, people are unpredictable and the economy will thrive much like the way those trading Fiat do. Content curation according to developers will be hard to monitor on a decentralized network, as such, “The issue of filtering content for mature audiences (like pornography, violence, or gambling) is difficult to solve... We expect a market to emerge here: with a reputation-based approach, users could select one or more providers of whitelists/blacklists that track the type of content being served on each parcel.”
