🧡 🤗 🅾️ Earth2: Virtual Reality, A New Cryptocurrency, Or The World Of NFTs? 💦 🕷️ 😧

For several months now, the minds of gamers and crypto investors have been excited by a new phenomenon called Earth 2 . Inspired by the futuristic universes of Ready Player One and Snow Crash , the game was launched in December 2020, and has since attracted more than 300,000 players, sold hundreds of millions of particles of the future world, created expensive NFTs , and received press and television coverage.

Against the background of the recent insane growth in the value of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the phrase is increasingly heard: "Oh, if I knew and bought some bitcoins in 2010." In this regard, it is very important to be at the very beginning of something grandiose, so let's try to figure out together what this new phenomenon is, how to deal with it, and whether something worthwhile can come of it.

Idea and philosophy of the game

The Earth 2 universe is a digitized copy of Earth (aka Earth 1). The entire planet is represented using Mapbox maps and is divided into small tiles, measuring at least 10 by 10 meters, for a total of approximately 5.1 trillion tiles. Players can buy these cells for in-game currency (and it, in turn, for real money), sell to each other, or put them up for auction.
