The last of the 7 people on there didn't even know he was listed as being a "staff memeber". The assets used in the promo video were used without permission.

I think the interesting part is that, all this is possible due to a complete lack of regulations governing NFT’s and crypto… I’m going to be interested to see what happens once governments take notice and catch up and start regulating these things.
There might be some short term legislation in scamming in this or that country that might see some legal consequences, but they'll probably be mild, and a fall guy will take them....
I say this as someone who doesn't have the best understanding of investment economics let alone crypto and NFTs, but I just have feel this foreboding that continuing to have this unregulated could have some pretty bad consequences for the economy on the whole.

@@rudeboyjohn3483 Well a lot of different investment funds/ETFs are starting to add crpyto to their portfolio. Obviously those funds aren’t buying up crappy alt coin scams worth $.000000005, but if these cheap coin scams give crypto a bad enough name, it could start to hurt the reputation of Bitcoin. So basically, I think the potential is already there to really harm the rich and or boomers with the money to invest in stuff like ETFs and hedge funds.
The IRS has already made NFTs taxable assets for this year and requires people to keep records of transactions over a certain financial threshold, including real names. How do you get a real name out of an identity that's just a random scramble of digits on a blockchain? A lot of people are going to be caught holding a bag they're not even aware of: documentation requirements.
I was wondering about the QR code when I saw the first video of Kira. So funny you cant make this up. Also I love that the non zentrilized nature of crypto they love so much is kicking their asses.
Cryptoland gives me a great idea for a exploitation movie. Clearly from the pictures the workers all live off island. A workers revolution happens and the standard of living for the people who come to the island changes. The workers who would come to the island stop coming because they are all embroiled in a conflict at home. Who wants to go to your job when you need to protect your home. The crypto bros try to organize some other country to bring them supplies or get a helicopter over to evacuate them. Of course they can only pay in bitcoin so it will take time. Meanwhile some women who were forced to work on the island and were harassed constantly notice there is an ungaurded "cryptoland" boat left in the marina. They sail to the island. Crypto bros run down to the docks thinking they are saved. The women gun down their harassers. This leaves many crypto wallets that will never be open because the only ones who knew the passwords are now dead. All those NFTs never to be reclaimed. The wold economy is not affected. Nothing of value was lost as it turns out.
The amount of stolen work in this is overwhelming; The Super Mario Bros theme The Godfather poster Iron Maiden's Eddie (Someone should tell Steve Harris, he always seeks legal action to intellectual property theft) The Crazy Frog song To name a few XD
The pinball machine in the Cryptoland video is literally an Iron Maiden one (Powerslave themed, fuckin' great record) with bad memes photoshopped on. They even left the giant Eddie there, lol.
I'll post some positive comments about Cryptoland to be whitelisted: "Cryptoland is positively dreadful." "I'm overwhelmingly positive that Cryptoland is a scam."
From someone who lived through the dot com bubble and was invested in stock at the time, they were nowhere near this level. Most of the dot com bubble companies that never made it were made from big unrealistic dreams for sure, but they didn't try to outright scam people, and they didn't want their customers to become cult members. At least not the companies I myself was interested in and kept an eye on.
I agree with Johan. While I lived through the dot com bubble I was either too young to invest or wasn’t in the financial position to invest. I did watch from afar though.
Excellent video, I am really starting to understand your work and how you approach your research. I've done a lot of BSC scan stuff over the last year heavily invested in DeFi for all my crimes, things like rug pulls, hacks, stolen keys etc, lookign at solidity etc. Great to see you are utilizing the community on discord to shed light on this sham. I think it's time I joined the discord if that's the kind of stuff we be talking.
This will be absolutely gorgeous. I will be buying a new commanders chair and a lorry full of popcorn to see this turd go down the tubes. 2022 will be one hell of a year. Screw M-she-U, the new Bit connect is here, but in 3d.
I tend to call things such as scams Cat Boxes (being a cat owner, I am well versed with the litter box or cat box). I have to therefore be willing to admire the people willing to shift this much cat poop for the truth.
Most people I talk to have no problems with the blockchain technology. It's the current form and usage that's a problem. These crypto bros are making it worse.
I have a problem with blockchain technology without even paying attention to the rampant scamming going on. It's slower than a plain old MySQL database.
Callum, you might want to consider informing Nintendo and Disney that the Cryptoland ad video is using some of their copyrighted material. I’ve emailed them myself but maybe they’d listen to you. Oh I hope they listen. I’d like to see one or both have their legal teams stomp on them.
I KNEW the art style of the animation was inconsistent. I KNEW it. The upstairs scene also looks just like looking around a virtual room with a VR headset to me. I wonder if they actually created any of that video themselves?
Why can't US Citizens mint NFTs in the Cryptoland thing? Is it because they know a lot of NFTs use stolen art? And they'd rather just circumvent the law then work? Could that be why?
Kira streamed the other day and some troll pretending to be a lawyer for Cryptoland was threatening to sue him too. Kira shrugged it off and the whole thing was comical with how crazy and stupid this "lawyer" sounded
"This comment violates the precursor Coinoptic precedent set in the Ebulon v. State of Guatemala and hereby therefore hitherto addendum dictates that you are liable to pay me and my club 80 bazillion US currency. Sincerely, A totally legit lawyer"
Man..Im not really interested in the crypto scene but it makes me think that this currency could work if people would stop using it for "getting rich quick, rug pull your own mom if you have to." These scams are getting worse and worse. Cudos to all that took the time to dig in and research if this could even really happen first before staking any money into it.
Some people in the early days believed crypto would make the world more equal between poor and rich countries by decentralizing transactions and creating currency optimized for velocity instead of growth. But as it stands, it's really more like stocks than real currency, nobody who isn't at least upper middle class by rich country standards has access, and cryptobros like it that way. Some people think crypto will be better actual currency when the bubble pops.
Nobody seems to care or check. People are happy to be ignorant. When I was heavy into the WAX network we would always say "blockchain doesn't lie" as we were playing detectives on the scammers or shady people. Most people using the network didn't know the first thing about looking up transactions.
I fell into this whole crypto-NFT-MMO-scam rabbit hole through Josh Strife Hayes, KiraTV and you. I love how nice and calm you three are. Very relaxing while also hilarious and educational. This is truly a strange timeline. I was so sure Cryptoland just HAD to be satire...

I guess greed is cyclical. Different decade, different faces, but the same mentality.
Excellent video, I am really starting to understand your work and how you approach your research. I've done a lot of BSC scan stuff over the last year heavily invested in DeFi for all my crimes, things like rug pulls, hacks, stolen keys etc, lookign at solidity etc. Great to see you are utilizing the community on discord to shed light on this sham. I think it's time I joined the discord if that's the kind of stuff we be talking.
Holy shit they actually stole professional work from an architectural firm to put in their animation LOL this is gold
This will be absolutely gorgeous. I will be buying a new commanders chair and a lorry full of popcorn to see this turd go down the tubes. 2022 will be one hell of a year. Screw M-she-U, the new Bit connect is here, but in 3d.
I tend to call things such as scams Cat Boxes (being a cat owner, I am well versed with the litter box or cat box). I have to therefore be willing to admire the people willing to shift this much cat poop for the truth.
Most people I talk to have no problems with the blockchain technology. It's the current form and usage that's a problem. These crypto bros are making it worse.
I have a problem with blockchain technology without even paying attention to the rampant scamming going on. It's slower than a plain old MySQL database.
Its all this sort of thing that makes me unwilling to invest in anyway new... soo many scammy trash things.
Callam, once again, brilliant! Thanks, I pissed myself laughing... but appreciate it! Love the content.
Geez... I knew this was a scam, but I wasn't expecting to be a f-ing cult.
I want to see the faces of these crypto bros when these digital tulips 🌷 wilt.
Baldzilla will have a wonderful time tearing this scam apart
I'm drooling waiting for his video. We gotta ping him or something.
Upper Echelon send me here, great work man! This is just the kind of chanel I enjoy, subbed
Kyle shows this in his video on accident when he mints his plot. Literally in his own video it displays he is getting a 50% off discount.
i missed this! nicely spotted
You’re doing the lords work callum. Thank you
When talking about the Discord situation, I had to double check I'm not on a Dreamworlds video! :D
Great content again, Callum, keep it up!
Cryptos are never just pulling one scam or doing A crime, they have to diversify.
If you see youtube vids with the titles "make x100 now" just close the vid and go on with your day
Has there been a crypto-inspired family annihilator yet? It has to happen soon if not already.
Dafuq?
The fastest subscription ever I gave to anyone! Thank you for your work!
I would actually like to see how they respond to this if they even do respond.
their response will likely be a cease and desist
@@CallumUpton I hope you give it the due ignoring it deserves!
Honestly I'd be more interested in the response from the QR code guy
@@CallumUpton you mean _cease and decease_
Callum, you might want to consider informing Nintendo and Disney that the Cryptoland ad video is using some of their copyrighted material. I’ve emailed them myself but maybe they’d listen to you.
Oh I hope they listen. I’d like to see one or both have their legal teams stomp on them.
This is fyre festival all over again, and I love it!!!!
They really are speed running this and I'm here for it lol
I KNEW the art style of the animation was inconsistent. I KNEW it. The upstairs scene also looks just like looking around a virtual room with a VR headset to me. I wonder if they actually created any of that video themselves?
A golden detail in Brett's video page "blue chip NFTs"
Whew, I almost thought this trainwreck has already crashed. Here's to many more entertaining videos to come.
Why can't US Citizens mint NFTs in the Cryptoland thing? Is it because they know a lot of NFTs use stolen art? And they'd rather just circumvent the law then work? Could that be why?
It's so insane and depressing. It's why I watch The Goes Wrong Show on repeat! Soon they'll be all drinking the kool aid and it'll be over.
it is impossible to comply with that C&D order. Nowhere does it say WHAT they have to retract or apologize for.
"you'll be allowed to give us your money once you send us a certified document proving you have legally changed your surname to cryptoland"
Kira streamed the other day and some troll pretending to be a lawyer for Cryptoland was threatening to sue him too. Kira shrugged it off and the whole thing was comical with how crazy and stupid this "lawyer" sounded
"This comment violates the precursor Coinoptic precedent set in the Ebulon v. State of Guatemala and hereby therefore hitherto addendum dictates that you are liable to pay me and my club 80 bazillion US currency. Sincerely, A totally legit lawyer"
Maybe Kira should contact Nintendo and Disney to inform them that the Cryptoland ad video is using some of their copyrighted material.
@@mikoto7693 Apparently their Cryptoland video has already been DMCA'ed and taken down :) LOL
8:25 that face you made when you remembered the list of requisites. LMAO
The right click save is just the pinnacle
I'm absolutely loving Cryptoland. So much content! So many laughs... good work dude :D
Also remember the video promotes they'll have a gambling hall, something that is not legal in fiji.
This is pretty impressive detective work. Good job you and community
The saga continues.
Good fucking lord that list of demands.
2:25 Well well, how they say again, "Blockchain doesn't lie", right? Well it sure doesn't, flat out showing all their bs.
This is better than the TV Programm atm ... Great comedy 🙈🤣🤣thx callum Great work 👍
Their cease and desists are absolutely gonna hold up in court... Cryptoland's court, that is.
Man..Im not really interested in the crypto scene but it makes me think that this currency could work if people would stop using it for "getting rich quick, rug pull your own mom if you have to." These scams are getting worse and worse. Cudos to all that took the time to dig in and research if this could even really happen first before staking any money into it.
Some people in the early days believed crypto would make the world more equal between poor and rich countries by decentralizing transactions and creating currency optimized for velocity instead of growth. But as it stands, it's really more like stocks than real currency, nobody who isn't at least upper middle class by rich country standards has access, and cryptobros like it that way.
Some people think crypto will be better actual currency when the bubble pops.
With such rules imposed to enter the white list, I wonder how people are actually there.
the public record of contracts and transactions is pretty much a selling point of Smart Contracts, they thought they could hide the info? wow.
Nobody seems to care or check. People are happy to be ignorant. When I was heavy into the WAX network we would always say "blockchain doesn't lie" as we were playing detectives on the scammers or shady people. Most people using the network didn't know the first thing about looking up transactions.
I fell into this whole crypto-NFT-MMO-scam rabbit hole through Josh Strife Hayes, KiraTV and you. I love how nice and calm you three are. Very relaxing while also hilarious and educational.
This is truly a strange timeline. I was so sure Cryptoland just HAD to be satire...
It's amazing to see how powerful the community is when they get together for a common goal I just wish we could do the same for some politicians making sure they aren't doing something scummy and forcing them to keep their word
This really does sound like a fucking cult.
It's hilarious that telling the facts about this is considered defamatory.
The truth is Defamatory. XD
I thought there was something weird about that house. I was gonna comment on a previous video, it looks too much like one of those environments you load into in the Oculus software.
I'd wait for a dreamworld video but dang I'll eat popcorn for this
what idiots don't understand is that if there is a youtube video about some super awesome investment chance...it's already too late.
He can try to sell, which is very different from actually selling
I bet you Kyle will be putting some holes in some drywall after he sees everyone found out about his half price gig on Epstein Creeptoland. You and your community did some great work here Callum, and credit to the Blockchain too for being forever. This thing reeks so bad...
Man I was born at night but it wasn’t last night. Great job.
So... Earth 2 2, the electric boogaloo?
So even if these guys managed to build their shitty island has anyone thought of hurricanes and other natural disasters that tends to utterly decimate islands?
