Upcoming video game 'Legacy' sells $55m of virtual land in a week
Virtual land is on fire as always. Upcoming video game ‘Legacy’ recently sold $55m of virtual land in just one week. The game follows a theme like that of a business simulator, and holds familiarities to the popular game Monopoly.
⠀
The game is expected to launch on PC in 2022, and will also have its own cryptocurrency which is to be called ‘LegacyCoin’. The main principle of the game is to get as much land as possible and rule the lands.
⠀
With that, many people, as can be seen by the huge amount spent on virtual land this week, are getting all the land and plots that they can now to get a nice amount of land from launch.

⠀
The company is also launching its own native token called RADIO. RadioShack’s main mission and goal with this new business model is to bridge the gap between the older generation and the new technological advancements, boosting adoption.

Own and secure your crypto

You probably already know that you shouldn’t store your crypto on an exchange due to potential hacks, not being solely in control of your crypto’s private keys, and for other reasons, and so a hardware wallet is the way to go and the best option to protect your private keys, therefore, you should make the move to a Ledger wallet.
