- Embed this noticeLast night I dreamt vividly about a cryptocurrency hype trailer.
It starts with a zooming drone shot of a very large cruise ship in the shape of an upside down snail shell docked on a very small marina. The bottom half is a regular white boat hull but the entire top half is made of a triangular lattice of metal beams covered in glass panels. Arrived at the boat the shot soars in the air to reach the opening of the snail shell which is the top deck where stands a middle-aged white-haired marine captain with a Virtual Reality headset on. The shot ends with the drone landing in his open arms, revealing he had been controlling it during the whole sequence.
The next sequence is a wide computer screen of a video conference with nine video panels of attending members on the left and a presentation slide on the right. The top left portrait is the captain, while the others are various male young adults. The captain is announcing that the launch of their linking service (?) on Hive (??) was a success, with more than 191 million people downloading the app (?). A Black conference member asks a pointed accounting question about the project's finances, but he's quickly shunned by the captain and his portrait disappears from the video conference screen.
Then the captain explains that they have been screwed, which I found odd in this otherwise positive marketing video which then dissolved into nothingness as I awoke.
