This is the best example of Poe's Law I've ever come across [1]. I honestly can't tell if this is brutal satire or someone's legit endgame. The more I watch the more inclined to think it's satire, but there's a lot of other things in this space I didn't think could be serious that are.

I'd love to think it's post-irony or meta-irony[1], but really I suspect it's legit and they are trying their best. Bless. Feels like an order of magnitude more risky as an investor than Fyre festival

Looks like an example of the emerging genre of post-truth-quasi-parody, where if goal A fails then it is represented as goal B.

Goal A is to dupe the most gullible of cryptozealots, trying to gain financially, goal B is to mock them, gaining exposure.

Win-kinda-win.


This must be an art project, right? Legitimately still perplexed.


Guess with the "Silicon Valley" series wrapped up, writers gotta still write.


My opinion flipped 3 times when watching it.

It like magnetic truth pole, the needle just spins.
