there's also an unrelated science coin that actually has a website that was online for, as far as I can tell, one single day back in February:

i think part of it is that the half of their brain that's going "this is super sketchy" is drowned out by the significantly louder half of their brain going "but what if it's legit, if i don't act fast i'm gonna miss out on free money freEE MONEY FREE MONEY!!!!"

the other part is that they're real dumb but think they're far too smart to fall for these sorts of things cuz they can figure out internet computer money or whatever, which is the perfect kind of mark. prolly think they're being clever and starting with a small amount just to see if it works, too.

the other other part is that elon musk stans in particular are already predisposed to elon pitching them fabricated bullshit ideas that they then have to rationalize, so their brains have already been softened up a bunch

i took one look at "anthem film festival" and went "oh boy i bet i know where you got that name from!"

quote:

Anthem, The Libertarian Film Festival, is dedicated to finding and presenting the year's best films about personal and civil liberty. We seek films and documentaries about self-reliance, innovation, commerce, individual rights, and the power of persuasion over force.

lmao these guys are great

quote:

Libertarian heroes follow their own paths. They do not conform to the expectations of others. When something goes wrong, they fix it themselves. When something goes right, they give credit where it is due. We want to see protagonists acting in their own self interest, doing all that they can for themselves without government intrusion, regulation, or support. When people watch out for themselves, they create a better world for everyone.

we give credit where it's due, unless it's due to the government

quote:

Filmmakers often screen to standing-room-only audiences at Anthem, because Anthem is part of FreedomFest, “the world’s largest gathering of free minds.” With over 2,500 attendees and 150 speakers on topics including politics, economics, history, science, health, art, and literature, FreedomFest provides a ready audience of eager viewers for Anthem’s filmmakers.
