Cryptocurrency & Second Life

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

Second Life is an Internet-based 3D virtual world developed by Linden Lab in 2003.

I created avatars to communicate among users, buy clothes, buy and decorate homes, buy land, buy and sell, and even pay a salary.
At this time, IBM invested $ 10 million to buy the island, and Cisco built a virtual office to serve customers by exhibiting Christian Dior, Nissan, and BMW stores.

As this game began to gain popularity, I came up to the news of building rich, land rich, just dollar rich and so on and gave me a dream and hope to design a second life really.

One of the most noteworthy things I have noticed in this world was that I was able to do economic activities and there was a currency called the Linden Dollar.

However, the Linden dollar was the only money available in the Second Life virtual world.
Linden dollars could not be exchanged for real world money.

This part was controversial in other communities.
There were also issues of money laundering, multi-level, fraud, speculation, etc. There was the same controversy in virtual life as virtual money now.

And then around 2009, Second Life has disappeared.

There are many reasons for the disappearance, but the biggest reason is that it can not be exchanged for real money.

Because it was impossible to exchange money into reality, it was treated only as game money, and the aspirations that everyone who was the great ambassador of Second Life CEOs would be able to run a virtual world with avatars became a waste.

People in the real are forced to live on the floor of the real world.
I could not live in a virtual world forever.
