I love how the promo implies that Cryptoland will be filled with hot women who totally wanna talk to you. Being on an island surrounded by cryptobros sounds like literal hell.
I have to confess, I saw this video at the time and mistakenly believed it was someone deliberately posting cringe to ironically mock crypto nerds. I was horribly wrong.
Fun fact, none of this was animated. Crypto land was filmed at the gates of Hell and it just so happens that everyone looks like a badly animated character. But looking at these videos you wouldn’t think that, you would know that.
Watching the animation makes you feel like you're watching a really long bowling cutscene after getting a strike. Actually I take that back this more fits a gutter-ball.
I remember when I was a kid around the 2000s and my father tried to get me into computers and internet. He told me that anyone could make a business out of it. For some reason he told me I should start selling jokes (yes jokes). I said that nobody would pay money for something so stupid and worthless. I was so wrong.
@@MattIsntYoung Holy shit it does look like it! These movies are my guilty pleasure, I don't care about what anyone says, they are masterpieces! You made me so happy right now I have so many fond memories that came from these movies so thank you!
The concept of NFTs is solid, but there's not a single application out there right now that isn't basically a scam or at the very least a waste of money. It's honestly embarrassing that anyone believes their stupid lion or whatever will ever be worth anything.
@@miguelzavaleta1911 It's honestly embarrassing that Charlie's view on NFTs lines up with so many Twitter twerps. These are the same persons who preach "capitalism bad, communism good."
Fun fact! In Fiji, all forms of gambling are regulated by the Gambling Act of 2009. The only legal form of gambling is a game of chance, provided it is played at home and the total maximum prize does not exceed $100. So the Casino is a load of 💩
Cryptoland saying "Mental maturity should be more than enough" is a paradox. Anyone who buys cryptos doesn't have the mental maturity to be buying them in the first place.
@@AlejandroRodriguez-lw2pj I just said it as a joke. I don't actually think that. I think some people lack mental maturity, though. Some people just invest because their friend did, or because their favorite youtuber or celebrity told them to. Those are the types of people who lack mental maturity.
Some of my favorite attractions at Cryptoland include: - Rugpull Ranch - Scam Sanctuary - Ripoff Ride - The Price Drop - Bored Ape Avenue - Power Consumption Pool - Crypto Bro Bar - Coin Casino
Down by the beach enjoy the OpenSea Shore and catch sights of the Whales🐳 . And sip on that iced cold Mint flavored cocktail that will have you FOMOing at the mouth🍸 while you LAUNDER in your beach chair.
The most bizarre thing about cryptoland is that I don’t think it was ever intended to be a scam. That promo video to me doesn’t look like it was put together by people trying to run a pump and dump, it’s too high effort and feels genuine. I think this is the crypto equivalent of when a church gets a bunch of money and one of the councilwomen says “my grandson does the three dee animation, we should make some cartoons for the kids about the Bible” It wasn’t made to scam people, it was naive
The saddest thing is turning a beautiful natural wonder like a Fiji island into a place based on the internet. Literally nothing about bitcoin needs to involve the outdoors. Imagine destroying a whole island with an extensive networking infrastructure. I can’t think of anything more selfish than taking an entirely indoor hobby and developing a whole island for it.
I mean the irony is that with the amount of pollution created from the process of cryptocurrency mining, all contributing to climate change and rising sea levels, Cryptoland would probably be underwater in fifty years. Edit: If even that long
I think they also said they plan to transform a swamp area in the island into a beach and make artifical islands, which means they're gonna destroy all the reefs and ruin the islands environment, typical cryptos LOL
its not hobby it's super free money time future future future future future future future future future future future future future look at all my monkey jpegs im better than u future future future etc etc
I can imagine the creators of cryptoland telling everyone to go to an airport with their wallets so they can go to cryptoland. And after receiving their payment, they would fly them over a deserted island and just paradrop the cryptonuts into the island and get the heck out of dodge before the nutjobs realize they got scammed. This is a more realistic scenario than a bunch of cryptonuts being able to buy an island from Fiji.
Like their are so many questions on how this government needs to be formed. These guys would need to hire political scientists and philosophers to help them formulate a constitutional convention the formation of an economy and government sectors- oh wait I just realized no philosopher or political scientist is dumb enough to take crypto for payment.
I challenged myself to watch this full video without cringing and every time I cringed I took a shot. Needless to say, I had the mother of all headaches when I woke up.
I think it’s beautiful that crypto enthusiasts found themselves unsatisfied with a digital crypto land that they needed a physical version to feel satisfied with the idea
Well think about. The crypto pushers dont care about crypto, they just want it to go "to the moon" so they buy real life luxuries. No one wants to live in a digital world if they're rich. They only want to make a digital world and strap people in like the matrix and harvest their money and efforts, while they never even put on a vr headset but rather live in a mansion, drive real sports cars, have real sex with partners and est real lobster and caviar. If they dont say so, then why do you need millions of bucks to live ina vr world. Id believe these visionaries if they gave away their fortunes, ate ramen noodles and vitamin packs to stay alive, lived in. 200sq ft apartment and got their "life fullfillment" out of virtual reality instead .its f'in hilarious, suckers fall for this meta vr crypto land bullshit. Remember, when they have nothing to sell, YOU are the product!
Not nearly as depressing as hearing this guy talk smack about Troy Baker. Then again, he did commit the cardinal sin of consistently defending The Last of Us Part II.
hearing that charlie will be defending this video staying up is really heartening, larger creators doing this kind of thing with the resources they have is exactly what bullshit like this needs done.
@@LoneFullmetal they do have crypto themselves, the whole point is that they get others to drive up the price super high so they can then sell their crypto that they got for basically free since they made it
It’s been almost 2 years since the launch and they are still spinning their wheels in the mud, they won’t be able to buy an island but the prophesy is they will buy a private cruse ship called the titanium princess and party it up until they’ll haft to sell the boat after not being able to buy fuel or be legally recognised (tied to a nation), licensed or insured
A physical island tied to the blockchain sounds like a terrific idea. Until someone hacks your crypto wallet and steals the entire island along with your apes.
@@Madeleine_des_Esseintes "I can manipulate space, time, and energy. I can compress time. dark matter. dark energy. quantum physics. string theory. I can bend time, so I can travel from where we are now to a thousand years from the future..."
Also the camera panning from the inside of the plane to clipping through the window as the model of the guy glitches out is also another sign that this is some *top quality stuff* you’re watching
Here's the thing about these people. Even if we give them the strongest steelman possible, and this was something they were genuinely trying to do. Not only would they NOT have been allowed to decide their own age of consent, which is fucking creepy as hell... they wouldn't have been allowed to make ANY laws at all. They would still be bound by the laws of Fiji, including the outright ban of gambling which is hilarious when they have a fucking casino in the animation. Buying land doesn't suddenly make it not territory of an existing country.
@@diamondmetal3062 Libertarians? Every libertarian I've ever met has been fine, same with liberals. It's always authoritarians and anarchists that are freaking degens.
Cryptoland is over. They were unable to buy the island. They also found out there were some laws that would have prevented then from having a casino, & they didn't legally obtain the rights for some assets & music used in the video, which got DMCA'd for the use of Crazy Frog.
It was over before it started? It was an attempt to predate on children. The creators are pedophiles who are trying to lure children into an unsafe space away from their parents so they can violate them. They're child predators that's what the whole project was. It was never alive. Of course its over.
@@tenshi_amachi but seriously man I cannot stress this enough, ANYBODY, ANY SINGLE PERSON even ur own mother who in any type of way says that they don't completley 100% harbour distain and disgust for ideas like cryptoland, if they even have an unbiased opinion about it because they think that it might not ALL be a bad idea, they are fucking pedophiles. You should call them that to their face, and say it VERY loudly so that anyone else in the vicinity hears and starts looking. People who support this stuff need to be publicly called out as the child predators they are. NFTs are directly associated with pedophilia.
This is probably the best crypto-related 3D animation I’ve seen, but it’s still the bottom of the barrel. I’m betting good money that this was animated by Threshold Animation Studios, the same studio that animated Foodfight. The awful lip syncing and the uncanny moment is so iconically Foodfight, I need to find out if they’re credited anywhere or not.
It truly is, but I still don't know how on earth they are going to put the island together they are supposedly going to buy, if at all due to backlash. It also seems like a scam as well.
I swear, we expected this whole crypto and metaverse boom to take over like wildfire but there’s so many missteps that I wouldn’t be surprised that it would end somewhere in summer of 2022.
Nah. It won't end. Currently people (celebrities) realize how easy it is to influence people through trends. The blockchain unfortunately was introduced to the public through NFT's, and unfortunately most are money grabs and scams. Yet - the technology itself isn't a scam. It offers a way to trade securely, without other forces like the government being involved.
I've been investing in seeds and bulbs. You can literally plant them and get 100x return. Chickens are awesome too, they make eggs that actually turn into another chicken. That's %100 return quarterly
@@xyx2188 if cryptologic goes to fiji im doomed . *I'm a local*, ill be living near epstein Island. -i will personally try to ruin the island (the people not the nature, Fijian scenery is beautiful when it has good weather) help me-
Bruh im sure i could pull of better camera work with my 1k hours in blender then this stuff. if this cost more then 500USD to make total then they got scammed.
I completely forgot Crazy Frog got forced into NFTs by their managers or whatever and they actually don't want to do it and even sent signals that they didn't want to do it to begin with
@@suziebelle3738 At least Dashcon was fucking hilarious (and an embodiment of the absolutely unhinged tumblr spirit). I cant imagine this being... Anything but depressing. Im banishing these crypto-fuckers to the ball pit.
You gotta love how they have these grand plans for a luxury resort and an NFT restaurant (whatever the hell that is) and whatnot for their paradise island, but I'm not seeing a hint of actual infrastructure that the place will need to stay operational. Where are the waste management facilities? Hospitals and fire stations? Energy grid (and remember, this is crypto mining, so it's going to take a shitton of energy)? Where are they going to get food and other supplies for Cryptoland citizens? Presumably they don't want to be associated with a centralized government, so how will they establish laws and handle crime? This is really basic stuff and they still managed to drop the ball on that. I guess they forgot that once they establish their luxury island, Mom isn't going to be there to cook and do laundry for them.
Don't worry they don't have a chance with buying the island. It literally only two people behind the project and its specifically illegal for Americans to buy it that land, This is what another person said: I joined the Discord server out of curiosity. The founder of Cryptoland did an AMA in voice chat the other night and it was just an absolute clusterfuck. It was hilarious. Among other things: -he made clear they'd developed detailed evacuation plans but had no idea how they were going to deal with sewage in the island - insulted his own audience by explaining they needed competent professionals to do things like manning the resort desks and not 'crypto people' - responded to a question of how they'd deal with waste with 'I don't care' -made clear they have absolutely no background in any field related to this project -responded to a question as to why they showed a casino in the advertising when gambling is illegal in Fiji with 'it's not meant to be literal' -admitted he'd cancelled the agreement to get the island and so didn't actually own it at all. Over the course of the vc it became clear that the project literally only appears to consist of two people - this guy and a woman - and they falsely listed a bunch of random freelancers they worked with on their website to make the project seem bigger and more legitimate.
That's how I've felt about most of this Crypto/NFT stuff. Every piece of Crypto/NFT backed media I've seen out of these schmos over the last two or so years has been the most low effort trash nonsense that's swarmed with bots and copium addicts trying to hype up their digital macaroni art that's somehow generated enough astroturfed hype to reel in Stock investor types and Millionaire Tech bros to keep the grift going. It feels like we're watching the world's most elaborate and coordinated trolling attempt.
Bro, I wish I recorded this. When the dude was talking about crypto island with that awestruck gaze, right before the camera completely panned to the island, I got an ad about an island of trash.
I like how Charlie had to explain how he was misinformed in the beginning; not because he accused them of something they didn't do, but rather that they were way worse than he let on.
@@il_veltro It's understandable that I thought he was better than all the idiots on Twitter who are blindly screeching about NFTs. Those people are the kind of people he'd make fun of, are they not?
Dude did you notice they used "be our guest" from beauty and the beast as the song. XD they're SUCH fakes everything was stolen. they couldn't even make any original music! what's next? little mermaid cause it's by the water X'D
