The millionaire building a blockchain utopia: Jeffrey Burns became a millionaire in the cryptocurrency boom, and he’s using his money to build a blockchain utopia across 67,000 acres in Reno, Nevada. So far, Burns has spent $300 million to build an experimental community where everyone’s ownership rights & voting powers will be recorded in a digital wallet. His ambitious plans involve a town, an e-gaming arena, underground vaults and lots of blockchain. (The New York Times) “This will either be the biggest thing ever, or the most spectacular crash and burn in the history of mankind. I believe it’s the former, but either way it’s going to be one hell of a ride.”
