* ProudToBeAGeek: Christopher, as he describes himself in the OpeningNarration, is a "crypto-degen" with a "crush for cryptokitties". According to him, whenever he goes out in public and buys something, he always asks if he can pay in cryptocurrency just so he can [[CharacterFilibuster explain at length what is.]]

Cryptoland is a planned island resort in UsefulNotes/{{Fiji}} intended for UsefulNotes/{{Bitcoin}} enthusiasts. It received a 10-minute presentation that was extended with additional footage to a 16-minute length. In it, a "degen" named Christopher travels to the island, meets his old friend Connie who shows him around, and goes through a lot of trippy stuff.

* CallARabbitASmeerp: Pigeons are called "hackers".
* DisembodiedEyebrows: One of Connie's main features are the eyebrows above his coin body.
* DisguisedInDrag: Connie is introduced disguised as a flight stewardess for some reason.
* DroppedInSpeechClip: When Christopher is handed his keys, Connie becomes a recording that says "Your keys, your Bitcoin. Not your keys, not your bitcoin."
* FireworksOfLove: At the end, as Christopher and Bianca share a ride into the sunset on a Cryptokitty and hold each other, fireworks go off.
* IndecisiveParody: One of the dominant criticisms of the video is that it satirizes the very thing it was meant to promote, from the obnoxious references to crypto memes to the ''actual pyramid'' dedicated to cryptocurrency scams. Even Connie's name seems like a PunnyName of "con". Despite coming across as satire, Cryptoland's other promotional materials indicate this was a genuine attempt at establishing a space for crypto investors.
* LivingCurrency: Connie the coin.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Connie takes many cues from Creator/RobinWilliams, especially his performance as [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} the Genie]].
* ParodiesForDummies: One of the books Connie had to read to make Cryptoland was “SEC for Dummies”.
* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Connie's password is "sexycryptoboy123" (capitalization not said), which he took from a bench on the island.
* PeskyPigeons: The pigeons of the island, or "hackers" as they're called, are generally frowned upon for stealing crypto-related things. At one point, one pigeon steals Bianca's hardware wallet.
* PooledFunds: The De-Stress Room is full of coins. Christopher takes the opportunity to swim in it.
* ProudToBeAGeek: Christopher, as he describes himself in the old version, is a degen with a crush for cryptokitties. Whenever he goes out in public and buys something, he asks if he can pay in cryptocurrency just so he can explain what is.
* SentientVehicle: One of the species in Cryptoland are sentient cars. These cars tend to say “To the moon!”, which annoys Connie.
* SpontaneousChoreography: A bunch of characters manage to suddenly dance on the beach.
* ToiletHumour: When Christopher asks Connie where he gets his ideas, Connie looks at a public restroom labeled "[[{{Pun}} Shitcoin]]". The camera zooms in on 1-dollar bills labeled "Wipe paperrr".

* TokenRomance: The romance subplot with Chris and Bianca is only tangibly related to cryptocurrency. [[FlatCharacter Bianca herself]] only exists to be Chris' "plus-one", appearing only to interact with him.

* ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: Connie's password is "sexycryptoboy123" (capitalisation not said), which he took from a bench on the island.

--->''Connie'': [[YouDontWantToKnow Iiii'm not gonna tell you where]].

* BizarreAndImprobableGolfGame: In the Bitcoin Cash Super Golf area, Connie manages to hit a golf ball really high into the air, then it bounces off the word "FAST" and a melex, making it fly for a while, and still manages to land in a hole.
