A GREAT Article on the #NFT Market in China by @decryptmedia.
And how Dragon City, (@DragonCityIO), in #Decentraland aims to be the 'first China-themed city on the blockchain'.
I'm releasing a video on this in the next few hours.

Snippets from the Article - "Dragon City is the largest plot of virtual space within Decentraland, which itself is a virtual world-building platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Decentraland"
“Dragon City is a virtual city deeply rooted in Chinese mythology tracing back to the beginning of the world,” Zou told me,
“I was inspired by how western mythology is systematically built upon Greek Mythology, while Chinese mythology is rather scattered and inconsistent.”
For example, the city maps show that the lake is situated to the left of a mountain because lakes normally represent Yin, which according to the rules of Taoism, must locate on the west side of Yang, which is represented by mountains.
Zou told me “In real life, there is no private land ownership under Chinese law. People can use the land, but they don’t own it. The very concept of actually owning something, even though it is virtual, is attractive.”
