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=...

That's a very effective way to inspire people to make fun of you, on Twitter.

Certainly a good example of the Streisand effect. [1]

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.

Or just straight-up stolen art. For every one artist selling NFTs of their own art, there are easily five NFTs sold by fraudsters misrepresenting themselves to have to right to do so.

Wasn't this the literally exact thing NFTs was supposed to prevent?

Here[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...

You'd assume they'd be subject to the laws of whatever country that island is in. One thing you can be certain of is that no country is ceding any territory for them to form their own nation.

The island they are eyeing is Nananu-i-cake in Fiji: https://www.privateislandsonline.com/south-pacific/fiji/nana...

It's at least a real island that's really for sale, but Cryptolands renders present it as being freestanding in the ocean rather than right next to the mainland and another island as it is in reality

Cryptoland is either tasteless performance art or a disaster waiting to happen.

Why would you want to live in a theme-park on a remote jungle island in a volatile jurisdiction with a bunch of assholes?

Isn’t that the exact promise of El Salvador’s Bitcoin City, except for the island part.

Wtf 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.

Some people cannot conceive of the thing falling apart and everyone dying of hunger and thirst. It is rather less tropical but Put In Bay fits the bill much better.

The best place to get STDs in the great lakes.
