I can't stop laughing

Apparently a bunch of libertarian crypto bros are trying to buy an island in Fiji and set it up as their own private libertarian paradise. It's going about as well as you might imagine. In other words, it's shaping up to be as much of a scam and a disaster as Fyre Festival, or that time a bunch of libertarian crypto bros tried to buy a cruise ship, or that time a bunch of libertarians set up their own tax-free township in a rural part of the US and it got overrun with bears.

The whole thing could just be an exquisitely on-the-nose piece of satirical performance art, I suppose.

However, nothing I've seen so far has swayed me from my opinion that crypto is basically a multilevel marketing scam aimed at tech bros.

I saw that. I find myself hoping that all of the crypto bros voluntarily exile themselves on an island and then the internet will fail, because of course it will, because they have no idea of how to run a functional society, and then the rest of us will be left in peace, but I don’t think we will be so fortunate.

Your wish is mine as well! They are so arrogantly incompetent, and oblivious to their own limitations, and the limitations of their worldview.
