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/

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, e…

They eventually removed the request, but there was a group that wanted to create a blockchain utopia (smartcity) north of Reno, Nevada.

Unfortunately a lot of people are gonna get scammed. This has happened so many times… I’m a bit surprised financial regulators aren’t cracking down on it just yet.

At this point there’s not much to do but

Eww. And I thought a climate destroying ponzi grift was bad enough... And then there's this tirefire? Hopefully a hurricane will sweep 6mo in and wipe this out.

Regardless of what you think about crypto, wishing people to lose their homes and potentially lives is morally questionable don't you think?

why was it removed?

It was marked as unlisted, then Molly White (@molly0xFFF) got ahold of it and started making fun of it. That's how I found out about it. Now Cryptoland is threatening Molly with legal action

Edit: She has another site that is very cool: "Web3 is going just great" consisting of a daily update of the latest rugpulls and other frauds

319 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."

Why not try your luck, some crypto ppl who have gotten recently rich might buy such shit.

Nice to see PeerTube out in the wild.

PeerTube is a software application that implements the interoperable social networking standard, ActivityPub:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeerTube

What this means is if you have an account anywhere on this network, say a Mastodon account, you can interact with the video directly. It's a system that works a lot like how email addresses work (that is, a federated social web).

last note: The Fediverse, as a whole, doesn't want to be associated with the web3 space. Pretty much because it is a system that works, and web3 is just a space for schmucks.

Ironically 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].

Financial regulators are government agencies supervised the government i.e. the lawmakers.

As Tesla, and big banks have thrown millions and billions into crypto, don't you think that they will do everything in their power to keep this hype alive?
