El Salvador is a small Central American country of just over 6
million people. It has a rich, indigenous cultural heritage and its
capital, San Salvador, is one of the most iconic cities in the
world. Indeed, it’s known as the landfall of Christopher Columbus
in 1492. Besides its rich history, El Salvador is also known for
being the first crypto-friendly country in the world. In fact, El
Salvador was one of the first countries in the region to declare
its intent to become a crypto nation. They’ve recently adopted
Bitcoin as legal tender, kicking off what experts predict will be a
string of countries accepting cryptocurrency as legitimate means of
payment. The opportunities for crypto are ripe in El Salvador. The
country is home to one of the largest populations of artists and
creators outside of Silicon Valley. Now, you can buy virtual lands
in El Salvador as NFT “tiles” on a digital replica of Earth, via
the Next Earth project. What is an NFT? An NFT, or Non-Fungible
Token, is a digital asset that represents ownership of real-world
or digital assets such as trading cards, artwork, or even virtual
properties. The excitement around NFTs is not only limited to
gamers and blockchain enthusiasts but has also attracted the
attention of serious investors and entrepreneurs. Indeed, Visa
recently purchased a Cryptopunk NFT for $165,000, and NFT
enthusiasts have bought nearly $2 million of virtual real estate
through Next Earth. How to Buy Virtual Land NFTs Since August 2021,
Next Earth has been selling virtual land NFTs from a map of Earth.
More recently, they’ve launched an NFT marketplace, such that users
can buy and sell NFTs directly with each other. Buying an NFT
represents ownership of virtual land parcels within Next Earth’s
metaverse. Now that the NFT marketplace is live, anyone who owns
BNB (the Binance Smart Chain token) can effortlessly buy virtual
real estate. What is the Metaverse? Metaverse is a term used to
describe a shared digital space where people spend their time
interacting with each other digitally. One day, it will consist of
interconnected virtual worlds which are collectively part of one
large metaverse ecosystem. The online metaverse spaces will have
avatars that can interact with each other just like in the real
world. In fact, some companies and organizations have also created
their version of the online metaverse – a “digital twin” –
which replicates how they would look if they were on the physical
(real) earth while still allowing them to operate within the
digital space. The major players in this field include Facebook,
Microsoft, and Google, who hope to make money by allowing users
access to personalized versions of these spaces. These companies
will likely allow members to buy virtual goods that help improve
social media presence such as clothing brands or virtual real
estate, among many others. However, these are all centralized, and
Next Earth is the first decentralized virtual replica of Earth. Why
El Salvador is the Perfect Place for an NFT El Salvador has a rich
culture and history, making it the perfect location to buy an NFT.
The country also has a strong commitment to protecting its
indigenous people as well as the environment. After all, El
Salvador was strongly influenced by the clash of the ancient
Mesoamerica and the medieval Iberian Peninsula. Beyond being
historically interesting, El Salvador is a beautiful country with
incredible natural beauty – welcome to its virtual counterpart!
Indeed, Next Earth gives users access to amazing places beyond El
Salvador, whether you’d like to take a virtual trip to New York
City or even Hawaii. One can only imagine what the future of the
metaverse will bring when users can finally truly own their digital
assets. Photo by Enrique Alarcon on Unsplash
