"What in the world does a llama have to do with this blog!"; you likely exclaim internally, perhaps still baffled by the continuous price growth of animal depiction ownerships.

Rise of the NFT took everybody by storm. The seemingly pointless venture captured the minds of many, especially harsh critics deeming the upgraded technology a "fad".  Yet, despite all, it has managed to yield many digital opportunities; further opening the realm of digital assets.

Why would a virtual asset be valuable?

There is an important component to wealth many of us love to hate; society has always, and will always, dictate the value of our assets. 

Did the wealthy 19th century man scoff at the idea of modernism in art and architecture? But of course. Does that dispute its current incredible value? 

Rhetorical questions aside, the pattern of undervalued-to-priceless isn't something limited to the times past. In fact, we observe more of the phenomenon than ever, and at increasing rates. The virtual asset ecosystem plays a crucial role in this reorganization of wealth. Non-fungible tokens represent a new wave of digital arts and architecture. Skeptically calling it "owning a link and no more", while fair, brings us back to our perception of value. Would anything from gold to cryptocurrency be worth anything without people deeming it valuable? The answer is a resounding no. An asset is valuable when it is accepted to be.

Dipping toes into virtual markets (the early way):

This brings us to the topic of this blog, the (in) famous virtual asset. Digital arts are already highly valued, certain videos, online writing . We've seen old game accounts sold for spectacular, perhaps pearl-clutching prices.

Now think about those games. Some time and effort placed in activities such as leveling up, likely in the most fun, carefree way, gave real value to this account. Which is all well and good if we're aiming low.

To earn substantially via such concepts has been a pipe dream over the years. Now it appears the time has come, in the form of digital asset ownership, secure and yours forever. There is, for example, a very promising, legitimate way of building substantial value of virtual assets on the Upland game virtual space.

Now we can finally connect the unusually titled post to blockchains; why the llama?

The above seen and beloved mascot of Upland, the monocle-adorned llama, graces the game's interface with the look of a certain property acquisition board game's distinguished, monocled gentleman. But board games are board games, the fun ends when the run does.

What if you could keep those assets? What if you could accumulate them, then sell them, or keep them forever? Impossible? Not anymore.

Where do I sign up? Upland!

Upland, a game allowing the acquisition of virtual property in a fun, simple way, is a breath of fresh air in the world of tedious wait-to play games. A substantial sign up bonus is available via joining, meaning anybody can begin their virtual property journey. And It's likely to be, as we've seen with image NFTs, widely successful.

Getting started;

Of course, you ask, how do I build wealth in a simple game? Upland offers clear answers to that question, which should likely satisfy any skeptic. The current game's system allows you to own two types of assets. Let's get into the nitty-gritty of how they work for you.

Using the gaming platform (it's in fact a whole metaverse, spanning an ever-increasing mirror universe of the one you're sitting in right now), the first asset you will acquire - free of charge, of course; is the UPX token, the internal currency usable within Upland's metaverse. This will be your way of traversing the world of virtual property.

1. How to build wealth, the virtual property way

Now, on to the core part; real estate. Upland operates by offering a parallel market of real-world based property. How does it work? NFT, of course. Purchases made with UPX tokens are yours, safely, forever (or as long as you wish). And here comes the topic of Benjamins. Your Upland property - every single one; is tradeable on their free and open marketplace; for real money (or more tokens, if you so wish). Who doesn't want to become a business mogul from their couch? And the value of virtual assets is increasing as we speak.

Upland doesn't stop here, however. UPX tokens can be acquired in a wide variety of special events and promotions. The next way of acquiring the in-game currency is spawning treasure - for free, nonetheless. Another excellent source of income is the increasing daily bonus, acquired via sign-in streak, starting at 300 UPX and increasing every day.

We're not done yet! Upland offers a sign-up bonus of 3000 UPX or more (see my bonus above when I first joined upland.me) to get you started, which you can increase by a variety of activities; first treasure hunting (simply finding a treasure on the metaverse map), referrals - inviting friends and acquaintances to join in on the fun via your personal link. 

2. Getting down to business

By increasing your UPX ownership to only 10.000, the real game begins. This allows you to begin buying, trading and investing in lots, properties and more - of course - the more wealth, the more bonuses you'll receive. Who thought being a property owner could be done from your pocket?

Well, the Upland team did, and it's becoming a reality. Installation to your mobile device is available for Apple devices via App Store and Android via Google Play.
