Cryptoland refers to a viral 2021 animated promotional video for a luxury private island intended exclusively for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The 12-minute video became an overnight sensation for all the wrong reasons, featuring uncanny valley animation, controversial humor, and over-the-top 'crypto bro' tropes. Following massive public backlash and the project's eventual collapse, the visuals—particularly the mascot 'Connie'—became shorthand for fraudulent rug pulls, cringe-inducing marketing, and the speculative bubble of the NFT era. The meme is frequently used to satirize tech-utopian failures, overhyped blockchain projects, and the inevitable disappointment of get-rich-quick schemes.
