There was Bitcointopia, for instance, which involved the selling of large tracts of land in exchange for Bitcoin. There was the “Satoshi cruise liner,” which was a kind of marooned crypto conference, and a disaster.
It isn’t just Bitcoiners—altcoin fans are at it, too. Consider the “Blockchain City” supposedly being built in the Nevada desert by a lawyer-turned-crypto millionaire. And then there is the apotheosis: El Salvador, that tiny Central American country which Nayib Bukele and Bitcoiners have turned into a laboratory for deranged monetary experiments. And of course, there's Francisco Suarez's Bitcoin City: Miami.
