I think this is an elaborate art project.

This is mainly based off of the 2 "founders" at the end talking about the project. When they go scout for locations and one of the founders starts caressing the top of a thatch hut and the immediate next shot is a piece of paper taped to a tree with the title "Mercle Tree", that's when it clicked that this was a parody.

It's scary that it took me that long to realize.

Art project for sure, and based on the engagement so far I'd say they've succeeded.

Here is some of their previous work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEtBHQu4DoM

A film with the aspect ratio of a piece of string. Interesting approach, I guess.
I agree; I'll buy all 60 plots if it's real! I feel people are so overly keen on dunking on crypto at the moment, that they are blinded to agreeable satire. The proof that people claim makes it sincere isn't compelling.
