Cryptocolonialism – A new breed of wealthy individuals that have amassed a fortune through cryptocurrency trading and mining that seek to re-domicile for advantageous tax treatment while unleashing their new found resources for purported positive impact.
More often than not Cryptocolonialists hail from San Francisco and exhibit that unique glitter pony unchecked optimism and fervor emblematic of the Singularity espousing technocrats endemic to the region. The naiveté of this movement is both endearing and makes you want to strangle Bambi at the same time. The positivity and assuredness of this demographic's ability to affect change is as strong and palpable as the spirit of the frontiersman in the days of Manifest Destiny when they so righteously slaughtered in the name of progress.

Crypto-colonialism is alive and well in Puerto Rico where droves of Crypto-colonialists are flocking to reimagine and resettle the island in a fashion similar to Burning Man and San Francisco in all of their glory.

That group of kids everybody knew in high school that individually were often the targets of derision and/or physical violence, but who through some geek radar found one another to form an alliance, thereby lessening the probability that any one member is a victim.
The reference to the middle-age practice of isolating individuals with Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) and not allowing them to come into contact with any "normal" people is apropos because if a "normal" (read non-geekified) child were to associate with the leper colony, s/he is immediately labeled as suspect, and in extreme cases will be isolated him/her self, thus becoming a member of the colony.

Hey Slim, people in mexico have no idea how to make a chalupa, so I used some culinary colonialism to show them where to put the baja sauce.

On my trip to Austrialia last year, if they drove on the other side of the road I'd think I was back home in America -- a perfect example of Coca-Colonialism!
