This article is about a project called "Destiny" (https://destiny.com), an economic zone to be created in an undeveloped region of Nevis (of St. Kitts & Nevis)

The project goal is to become like Dubai with a 50m dollar investment, which I don't think is an admirable goal btw.

St Kitts & Nevis has had a history of being friendly to crypto and there was an initiative to make bitcoin cash legal tender, although don't think it ever actually happened.

Did you sincerely believe that the parent poster was suggesting bear-overrun as a probable outcome?

If you understood the ironic subtext, then your response is a example of the same trends you're complaining about. Arguably worse.
