WHAT CAN I DO WITH vIRLS?

vIRLs allow ownership without the hassle of storage & shipping

With vIRLs, you can collect and resell stuff like sneakers, apparel, and electronics - without the hassle of shipping or storage. How would you like to profit from selling a pair of Yeezy’s in just a few clicks - without ever having to deal with the whole madness of buying it, receiving it, and then selling and re-shipping it? It’s never been possible - until now.

Back in the olden days before vIRL launched, it took weeks to buy, sell, and profit from flipping a pair of Pharrell Human Races. You had to buy it, wait for it to ship to you, take pictures of it, convince potential buyers that it’s genuine, list it for sale, wait for someone to buy it, then ship it to the buyer, and wait to get paid.

With vIRLs, the entire process takes mere seconds, and just a few clicks. How is this possible? Glad you asked.

HOW DO CRYPTO WALLETS WORK?

A crypto wallet is a software program or physical device that stores the private keys used to access cryptocurrency. It is essentially a digital wallet that allows you to send, receive, and store cryptocurrencies.

Best wallet for crypto is essential for keeping your cryptocurrency safe. Without a wallet, you would not be able to access your crypto, and it would be vulnerable to theft.

There are two main types of crypto wallets: hot wallets and cold wallets.

Hot wallets are stored online, and they are the most convenient type of wallet to use. However, they are also the least secure, as they are more susceptible to hacking.

Cold wallets are stored offline, on a physical device such as a USB drive or a hardware wallet. They are much more secure than hot wallets, but they are also less convenient to use.

When you choose a crypto wallet, it is important to consider your security needs and how often you plan to use the wallet.

No matter which type of wallet you choose, it is important to make sure that you store your private keys securely. If you lose your private keys, you will lose access to your cryptocurrency.

Here are some tips for keeping your crypto wallet safe:

  • Choose a reputable wallet provider. Do your research before you choose a wallet provider. Make sure that the provider has a good reputation and that their wallets are secure.
  • Use a strong password. Create a strong password for your wallet and do not share it with anyone.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your wallet by requiring you to enter a code from your phone in addition to your password when you log in.
  • Keep your wallet software up to date. Make sure that you are running the latest version of your wallet software. Updates often include security patches that can help to protect your wallet from hackers.
  • Back up your private keys. Make sure that you back up your private keys in a safe place. If you lose your computer or phone, you will still be able to access your cryptocurrency.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your crypto wallet safe and secure.

How is the value of a vIRL sneaker determined?

We set the value of the vIRL sneaker at the price that we pay for it when we purchase it, plus our associated expenses like shipping and warehousing. That makes up the value of the vIRL because that is what we pay to purchase and hold the sneakers, which we must do in order to guarantee that you can redeem it on demand whenever you want.

Why is the price of a vIRL different from other prices that I see online?
The price of a vIRL sneaker cannot be compared to similar sneakers you might see listed for sale on StockX, eBay, or other two-sided marketplaces. A vIRL by definition is 100% backed by a specific pair of sneakers. Availability is guaranteed. It is guaranteed because we hold that exact pair of sneakers in a secure warehouse. Those other sites have no inventory. They simply allow sellers to list items for sale. There is no guarantee that the item is even available anymore. It might have been listed on on multiple marketplaces and already sold.

There is simply nothing else like a vIRL that exists.

Are vIRLs different from the sneakers I buy on other websites like StockX or eBay?

Absolutely. A vIRL is both a physical and a virtual item. A pair of sneakers is … well, just a pair of sneakers. A vIRL is something much more. Think of a vIRL as a pair of sneakers that can be transported into the virtual world. A vIRL transforms a physical pair of sneakers into a digital, tradable commodity. vIRLs are unique because you can do things with your vIRL that are impossible to do with an ordinary pair of sneakers, see the differences here:
