The aim of this proposal is to make you aware that the clothing items on the marketplace are not the only interest of Decentraland members.
Indeed, designers compete in ingenuity to attract potential buyers to them, which in a way is a good thing.
But Decentraland should not just be a place where the aesthetics of clothing are paramount.
I’ve only been here a short time, but I came here because I think it has real potential. Let me explain:
I’m French and I’m forced to say that very few French people know about Decentraland.
A few weeks ago I learned about the project to set up ambassadors to promote this platform. It’s a very good project.
But in the end, after several weeks on the site, what will the new members think?
If they want to get involved, they’ll improve their avatars, take part in events and maybe play in the casinos. Then they’ll get bored.
It’s sad to say that Decentraland is currently a wasteland dotted with numerous galleries, of varying quality, displaying nft available on OpenSea and rarely available for purchase.
The second activity on Decentraland is property speculation. I have nothing against it, but it’s not an end in itself.
Decentraland must play its trump card, which is culture. The galleries currently on show offer their visitors only modern works, sometimes of very fine quality, but the vast majority of them come from creative software and are so ugly that they would give our children nightmares.
Is this what culture is all about? Sorry to shock some of you.
I’m French, I’m 54 years old and I collect tokens that were minted during the reign of Louis XIV who reigned between 1643 and 1715. I estimate that during this period more than 3,000 different types of token were minted, a few hundred of each.
Many of them have disappeared because they were melted down for economic reasons. They were made of copper, brass, silver and sometimes gold.
Personally, I have at least 120 of them in a state of preservation that is sometimes exceptional, languishing in a bank vault.
My aim on Decentraland is to create a gallery where these tokens will be displayed.
But not like other galleries, taped up in a frame on a wall with an OpenSea link. No, I want to display them on a 3D base with all the basic information (year minted, origin of minting, weight, diameter, metal, etc.).
For me, displaying tokens for everyone to see, some of which were minted 380 years ago, is an example of culture.
I’m not hiding the fact that I’d like to produce nfts of my tokens in order to sell them. This would allow me to develop my collection and my investments on Decentraland.
But why sell them on a platform other than Decentraland? Why let other structures benefit from them when everything can be sold on the marketplace of Decentraland ?
Imagine all the beneficial financial implications for the site (publication costs, commissions on sales, etc.) if only 2% of current members, various collectors, thought like me and could benefit from an opening of the marketplace.
A windfall of income generated by the momentum of the rare collectors of sure values, already present on the site, offering the exclusivity of their collection to members of Decentraland.
An irresistible attraction, millions of collectors around the world unable to physically acquire the object of their desire and wanting the rare nft.
And everything that comes from it.
I thank you for making the effort to read me and leave you to your thoughts.
