Smalltalk's Amazing Post of The Week (1) - It's Real Estate on the Blockchain!
Showcasing a truly amazing post you should really check out. There's only one spot and the competition is tight.
This week, the spotlight is on an amazing post by @voronoi
It's not news that every now and then, people try to come up with initiatives to challenge the status quo or sometimes blow our minds off.
I read a lot of posts and nothing has fascinated me the way this post has. It is the perfect example to backup my earlier rant about writing posts that can outlive the initial 24 hour window.
I'm not sure if I should tell you about it or just drop the link for you to go check it out. 🤔 This cup of coffee will decide.
Can you imagine a world where the Blockchain gets married to virtual reality?
Can you envision the future of our lives as we currently know it?
What if you could trade real estate on the Blockchain and be inside these buildings in virtual reality?
Haha! It's getting wild yeah?
Well, i'm not the first but I already got a massive piece of land in the first ever Internet town!
The first generation of STEEMTOWN residents:
@fairytalelife @kevinwong @everlove @macksby @opheliafu @ericvancewalton @hansikhouse @natureofbeing @steemfest
@digit has a gas station. @firepower got us a race track for our cars and bikes. @anarchyhasnogods with the first mention of virtual reality. @kevinwong already got us a town center!
Want live music performance? @transhuman has got it covered!

Even a Chinese styled garden from @shieha
You can also buy and sell in an open market thanks to @ericvancewalton
Amazing stuff!
Steemtown (working name) will be home to the Smalltalk Media Group and the design concepts are out already.
Allow your minds to be blown.
Thank you to @voronoi for this. You can check out the original post here to understand me better. https://steemit.com/steemtown/@voronoi/steemtown-building-the-internet-s-first-small-town#@voronoi/re-smalltalk-re-voronoi-steemtown-building-the-internet-s-first-small-town-20170123t142842512z

I can't wait to see how @smalltalk Media Group headquarters would turn out 😊
Huge thanks for the post here @smalltalk! Thanks for your super thoughtful submission to STEEMTOWN :) The future of real estate and blockchain and VR is an exciting one. My hope is that this community art project begins to modestly sample that big potential.
Thank you and well done!
So - its a more sophisticated version of minecraft but for adults - i don't really see the personal value in this one but your article was great :) xx tamara
Haha! Thanks for stopping by! For now, it's all just for fun and this was clearly stated by the author of the original article (which I hope you checked out).
Mine was trying too hard to look at the possibilities. I tend to get excited a lot about some weird things.
Minecraft is automated while this is manually designed by @voronoi
😊
I get a lot of request from people on facebook for games and stuff too - like those kandy krush things etc and I know these things are just for fun like you said - but we could be doing so much more constructive things with ourselves - what worries me is the amount of time people are spending on the internet instead of going out and being with actually people now - its really quite scary you know - it worries me!
