The New Frontier: An Anti-Vax Crypto Paradise
A curious but serious development has emerged as a group of individuals who staunchly reject COVID-19 vaccinations are ambitiously plotting a new life in Africa. The plan? Establishing a ‘community’ in the stunning archipelago of Zanzibar, all while the world faces a staggering number of COVID-19 cases. Just when you thought the pandemic couldn’t get any weirder, right?
Hiring Spree in Paradise
This enterprise known as Liberty Places isn’t just interested in your average island getaway. They are reportedly on the lookout for a variety of professionals, including private chefs, television presenters, and—wait for it—a cryptocurrency expert. Yes, because nothing screams ‘health’ like blending gourmet dining with blockchain discussions in the sun!
Why Zanzibar?
The anti-vaxxers have praised Zanzibar for its lack of mask mandates and COVID-related restrictions, viewing the island as a breath of fresh, unmasked air. With the 7-day average of new COVID-19 cases globally exceeding 3 million, you can see why they’d rather escape to a place where social norms have taken a more… relaxed approach.
Not So Fast, Zanzibar!
While the dream might be to create a crypto haven, locals may not share the same enthusiasm. With the island’s limited space, accommodating millions of anti-vaxxers could lead to more than just overcrowding—it could challenge the health and safety of those who still believe in masks and vaccines. If social distancing becomes a one-size-fits-all due to the overwhelming numbers, that could turn into an awkward beach outing!
A Changing Stance on Crypto
In an interesting twist, Tanzania’s central bank has had a rocky relationship with cryptocurrency, having banned it back in November 2019. However, following President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s push for Bitcoin acceptance, there’s chatter about possible policy changes. It seems that cryptocurrency isn’t just changing fortunes; it might be changing governments, too!
The Future: Digital Shillings?
The latest news points to Tanzania possibly introducing a digital shilling in response to regional movements towards Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). So, are we looking at the dawn of a new era where even anti-vaxxers might have their own form of currency? That could add a whole new layer to their Utopian dream!
Final Thoughts: A Community or Just a Curious Escape?
As Liberty Places marches forward with their peculiar blend of vaccine resistance and blockchain ambition, it raises important questions about the implications for public health cohabiting with alternative lifestyle choices. Will this community thrive, or will it simply become a nod to the bizarre era we live in? For many, the notion of mixing anti-vax ideals with crypto ambitions is the perfect recipe for a wild, yet cautionary tale.
