- Catalyst servers, a cdn run by anyone. People can contribute network bandwidth and storage to make the virtual world exist. Similar to Bitcoin's nodes or BitTorrents' seeders, it prevents one single entity from being a chokepoint for content delivery.
- It's fully open source: not just the client but also the servers and "the database" (it's the data on the blockchain that matters, not some opaque database that can be modified by a comoany)
- Economics: freedom from LindenLabs manipulating the tokens or virtual assets (or at least full transparency if that were to happen)

Decentraland uses a peer to peer-user connection model, which needs 'number of users' connections per client and will never scale. The intent is to not have to trust catalyst server with user data, but that's silly; you are already trusting catalyst server since you must trust its claims about identity of users.
They seem to have the ability to update their platform more than once every 18 years.

Scam a few more rubes out their money, methinks.
Create false scarcity in "virtual land", then create more land later on. Pretty insane to witness otherwise intelligent people descend into speculative idiocy

Looking for interesting answers, not the regular trite "it's a scam" ones.
