The perfect storm: building a crypto-utopia in Puerto Rico [video]

Is this another example of the crypto-currency version of disaster tourism, whereby crypto advocates (to use a polite term) see somewhere that's undergone some kind of societal collapse and start making plans for how their favourite coin can save the day?

I suppose it's more plausible than starting your own crypto-based nation like Liberland, if only just.

I doubt you can get two crypto enthusiasts to agree on a common plan.

But, more significantly, a "crypto utopia", when realised in an actual, physical, location, also needs to be a "non-crypto utopia", i. e. a functioning, equitable society.

Both the randomness of the process that led to the current crop of crypto-tycoons, as well as the nonrandom factors that mattered make me think this experiment will suffer some well-known social problems and end far before having the chance to fail for entirely new, exciting reasons.
