๐ From Pizza to Paradise Lost: The Bitcoin Island That Never Was
Back in 2013, a group of early Bitcoin investors planned something insane: buying an actual island using their crypto profits and turning it into a libertarian paradise โ free from taxes, regulations, and fiat.
They called it "Bitcointopia" โ a dream to build a society powered completely by Bitcoin. Investors were asked to send BTC to buy land in Nevadaโs desert (yes, not an actual island ๐ ).
But instead of utopia, it all went up in smoke. The founder got arrested by the FBI for selling land he didnโt fully own. People lost thousands. And Bitcointopia became another cautionary tale.
๐จ Lesson? Not every Bitcoin dream needs to be moon-bound. Sometimes it crashes on Earth.
