The dream of a crypto-powered utopia is nearly as old as Bitcoin itself. Motherboard reporter Edward Ongweso Jr. takes us through the wild visions for Cryptoland, pitched as the world’s first crypto-society, supposedly bound for an island in the Pacific. And explains why some are calling it colonialism 3.0.
