This definitely has a similar level of serious and thoughtful consideration as many other blockchain projects. There is certainly a lot of free-floating capital that needs to be put to work, and I can't think of a more rock-solid, grounded investment opportunity, one with global significance.
Generally, anytime US land ownership changes hands, the prior owner might choose to retain mineral rights, and maybe discount the price accordingly. When you buy a house lot you are not typically interested in fracking under it, so you would not expect any discount.
What constitutes a basement would be spelled out in the contract terms of sale.
Why is it that the most asinine crypto projects get upvoted on this forum while actual behemoths like AAVE, UniSwap, Compound etc don't get discussed at all?
I get that you guys like being an anti-crypto echo chamber, but you are really doing yourself a disservice and frankly embarrassing yourselves.
I think there's a taste for extensive parody in this sort of community. This reads like the classic Signetics "Write Only Memory" datasheet, or even the Chicken PDF.
A very lazy joke scam. The state of its spelling, 'Etherium'.

Successfully failed? How is this any different except that there is no auction involved?

Basically a Rug pull.
I think I will just burst out laughing if someone got scammed over this joke DAO which is DOA at first sight.
In a few years BTC price will reach $249M, and then all 21M bitcoins could be exchanged for Earth ;)
One thing I don't understand. Why would anyone exchange their BTC for EARTH?
1 EARTH will always be worth only 1 EARTH, while 1 BTC will continue to double in price with every block reward halvening and will reach $500M, and then $1B, $2B, $1T, → ∞ ;)
A more realistic project that I am a big fan of is: https://www.klimadao.finance They use a community build treasury to buy carbon credits to increase their value to make it more profitable for solar/wind companies to produce them.
"Oh, yes, I see that you have the deed that says you're the owner. Yes, sorry, but we can't stop doing what we're doing on your land. What are you going to do about it?"
I think this encapsulates really well a big part of the current NFT market: buy now a claim of something that doesn't exist, but will surely exist (right? it has to because it's metaverse and everything is possible), so you can flip it down the line because it's cheap now, so let FOMO sink in.

I mean, it worked for Star Citizen, but they actually had some stuff to show for.

Why not set this up like Klima DAO which is doing something similar with carbon credits? This gives people an actual monetary incentive to buy and hold earth: the massive APY:

Aim high, I suppose.

The Earth was already sold off long ago.

1 BTC = 1 BTC even tho all my concerns and shilling are centered on the price in USD.

Imagine a bug list longer than the universe. But finite supply! You could wrap them up as tokens and sell them?

I would have started with just a focus on rain forest land first.
