And I am not even talking about the new update about Super Churches! We even got a great suggestion that 
Super Church, or however it will be called, is not fully understood but has some interesting new mechanics, what it definitely will do is need a 'Bag of Sim' to combine. I remind you all that there will only be 20,000 'Bag of Sim' ever to be sold, for 20,000 SIM each, a 400 Million SIM burn baked into the upcoming mechanics such as this one and Network Datacenter.
(For reference, there is just 325 Million SIM Power in existence right now).
The second to last update talked more about Network Datacenters, which are available to be combined now, but don't have their mechanisms working just yet. Under Construction!
It also talked about a hugely underrated improvement to the whole situation, that market bids will now be counted as SIM Power. Let me show you how important of an improvement this is:
Here's the dCity market, a really complete interface provided by dCity.io to trade their NFTs. on the bottom right we have 'ASKS', or sale orders for a particular token, and on the bottom left we have 'BIDS' - or open buy orders.
Before there was no bids, the only way was to list and buy a listing. Now bids have been introduced (for a while), and many classic players still play on the ASK side. But of course BIDS are a way to get cards for cheaper, basically hoping people dump and setting the 'floor price' for the NFT.
Above I am looking at GMO FARMING tech card. I got it up there as a tab to click on by clicking the PLUS arrow on the right of the NFT type after searching for my key word. Use dcity.io/info for the 'ALL CARDS LIST' if you don't know what you are searching for but just want to see the stats of all the cards.
Well, some new (and old) players are surprisingly comfortable dumping! This has set a new market dynamic, and the health of any market can be determined by a few variables, including depth and size of spread. dCity cards generally have had a very wide spread, since market bids actually counted against your SIM POWER. Not anymore - now market bids pay the HOLDING REWARD INTEREST which is currently at around 40% apr.
I expect this to make the depth more robust and the spread tighter on many or most of the cards on the dCity marketplace. Thankfully the interface shows you some historical data on each token.
Buying cards at a cheaper price raises the 'APR' aka Return on Investment. APR is fake idea because many projects do not last a year, but dCity has been shown to stand the test of time and keep developing and working to improve.
As originally officially announced in this post, but known about by the Sim Millionaires many days before officially announced (time to prepare is important with 30 day weighted average of SIM Power vs SIM held), the 'games have begun' and things are getting given away daily now.
You must enter manually each day! Use the #dcity-rains channel (only available to SIM Millionaires) and the command --join username to enter each day.
Good luck to all! Of course we all want 2BCX golden yodin, but I'm thinking it would be pretty cool to win the NFT claimable DG Hoodie!
To me, dCity is the best kind of project team, one that just love their niche and won't let their project drift off into nothingness to 'work on other things'.
Polishing mechanisms, loops, code and developments over time make for a strong project. It may never get to the levels of the 'original heyday' around 2nd edition release, but its a crypto-NFT game that is completely playable in its current for. While I was in the United States, I had a friend do a favor for me (take some drone footage for me), and in the spirit of brotherly love I gave him a dCity Starter city of my own design. I haven't published this design yet, it was the newest one I was testing, and I am watching him go in real time!. Blockchain is a beautiful thing.
After selling his citizen mining catch to buy a law firm one time, he has picked it up pretty quick. When I saw he bought a random card for 800 sim and got a military base, then turned around and sold it for 23000 SIM and start reinvesting THAT SIM, I knew he was hooked.
The newest design of mine is based on Farm, Park and Art, we were in maximum taxes at the time, so it didn't even have a Law Firm at first! But now this city is its own unique creation, partially based on luck and partially based on 'skill'.
Yes, dCity is a game you can start playing today and earn ROI (return on investment), and actual APR (because its been around for YEARS) will vary based on your skill (and luck) in the game. Its designed to be so much fun that you want to reinvest what you make, and keep growing your city over time.
And its still working after all these years to keep people's interest. What fun!
