#42Featured 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." lol Probably fake.
Matos found out they mentioned him in the video. He tweeted his displeasure. Trying to find it...

#44Ironically given the benefits that the cryptocurrency ecosystem supposedly brings to artists, this promotional material contains stolen IP from at least one independent artist [1]. Cryptoland's response was to block the victim [2]. [1]: https://twitter.com/kamilabianchi/status/1478764832967086083 [2]: https://twitter.com/kamilabianchi/status/1479852849932734477
They also sent a cease and desist to one of the folks making fun of them on twitter - for making fun of them, on twitter. [1] [1] https://twitter.com/molly0xfff/status/1479974074986209286?s=...
Her responses are gold.

#45319 ETH per acre. ($1mil USD today) 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."
I don't think I'd be so gentle. It is one of the most cringe-worthy things I've seen in quite some time. Makes the crypto space seem like it's entirely inhabited by morons and fools.
if your industry segment is populated with a theoretical 5 to 10% of vociferous morons and fools, it tends to paint everyone else with the same brush.

for something fake clearly somebody, somewhere put a lot of time into doing the 3D modeling and animation. seems like a bit too much effort for satire.

#47Wtf did i just watch.
This has got to be someone trolling, right?
If you didn't watch the whole thing, make sure to at least watch the animated section.

#48Here[1] is an article with more details. One worrying detail is that whoever runs the Cryptoland Twitter account "joking" about the age of consent being the age of "mental maturity". It is always interesting what laws these people prioritize changing. [1] - https://www.vice.com/en/article/z3n38x/cryptocurrency-invest...
The official response to the age of consent thing was that they didn't know what "age of consent" means: https://twitter.com/cryptoland/status/1480231356848349192 They've also sent a C&D to someone: https://twitter.com/cryptoland/status/1480236809531838464
That excuse makes no sense. There is no "age allowed" to enter "any other place, like a restaurant, a resort or an amusement park". Those places all let in babies and I assume Cryptoland would too. Also how does that explain the winking emoticon?

After browsing OpenSea one may reasonably come to the conclusion that for every competent artist selling NFTs of their art, there are approximately 40,000 low-effort mspaint primates.
It's impressive how quickly the NFT space has abandoned any semblance of selling unique artwork, and converged on ten thousand variants of "randomly generated animal pictures" with half of them being monkeys because they're cargo-culting Bored Ape Yacht Club. Ironically in trying to create "digital scarcity" they've lowered the bar to entry so far that their "scarce" assets are buried under an endless avalanche of nearly indistinguishable "scarce" assets. Market price is the only thing that would set them apart, but even that's meaningless due to the prevalence of wash trading.
