Featured in FT Alphaville today. Is this real? Feels like FYRE 2.0 https://www.ft.com/content/c79ea41b-41c0-4900-90ee-6e6347449... https://cryptoland.is/

They have a quote by Carlos Matos, from BitConnect fame. "We are changing the world as we know it."

That's because it basically is. I'm pretty involved in the cryptocurrency space and I haven't found a single person outside of the memecoin get rich types (see "Shiba Army") that thinks this is a good idea or seriously viable in any real way.

Honestly I can do nothing but hope that the craze around cryptocurrency dies down so that these types go back to other get rich quick schemes and leave the actual researchers, engineers, and developers to their work.

> Mirror of the Cryptoland presentation that its creators seem to be trying to wipe from the Internet for some reason.

"for some reason" I wonder why! I'd love to see the comments they got on YouTube.

This seems such a ridiculously obvious "let's cash in on the gold rush" attempt, and Poe's law started hitting me hard when it came to the animated sections. But of course it's the crypto space, so of course it's a real thing!

I'm struggling to find a way to constructively criticize. Project aside, the video is not at all professional to a western audience. (watch all of it, I dare you)

It's stylistically tone-deaf for their target market, grift notwithstanding. Who decided that real estate investors need a cartoon? At least Fyre's promo content felt "cool."
