Is This the World’s Craziest NFT? They’re Buying a Cold War Bunker, Seriously! 🤯

by

In a move that could either save the world or make you rethink humanity, an apocalyptic-themed Solana-based NFT project is aiming to sell 100,000 virtual tokens to buy—wait for it—A COLD WAR NUCLEAR BUNKER in England. Yes, you heard that right. This genius idea combines the virtual ownership craze of NFTs with the very real world of property. Who knew blockchain was this adventurous?

Mark Your Calendars: April 21, $14 Per Token—Are You In? 😱

Get ready, folks. Dead Bruv, the masterminds behind the NFT collection called Meatbags, are ready to mint 100,000 tokens starting April 21. The price tag? Just $14 each! But wait, there’s more! If you’re already a Meatbags holder, you get a sweet airdrop of 10,000 of these tokens. The remaining 90,000 will be up for grabs to the public. Talk about a deal, huh? 🤑

Historic Cold War Bunker Now for Sale—£650,000 (Or $862,257, If You’re Into Conversions) 💸

Let’s talk about the star of the show—the Cold War bunker itself. Nestled on 1.4 acres of land next to an old reservoir in Rutland, England, this beauty is listed by SDL Property Auctions with a guide price of £650,000 (roughly $862,257). Mark your calendars for April 24, because that’s when the bidding frenzy goes down. It’s a steal… if you think post-apocalyptic fortresses are the new beachfront properties. 🏚️

Meatbags, grab your masks and your bug out bags. April 21, we’re kicking off #buythebunker—the weirdest crowdfunded property purchase on the internet ever 😜

This bunker was built in 1960 as a Cold War monitoring post and decommissioned in 1968. It’s been sitting there like a ticking time capsule—just waiting for someone to turn it into a funky, off-grid getaway. And guess what? It’s already got the green light to be converted into a house. Because, why not? 🏠

Now, for the real twist: Token holders aren’t just buying a piece of virtual history—they’re becoming members of the “Billionaire Bunker Club,” a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). That’s right, you get a say in how the bunker is used if this NFT buyout actually goes through. Get ready for some serious decisions, like whether you want a hot tub or an escape room in the fallout shelter. 💥

The NFT Project: A Serious Joke, Or a Joke Gone Wild? 🤡

Robert, the anonymous genius (or madman?) behind Dead Bruv, admitted that the project started out as a joke. But, as the best ideas often do, it turned into something way bigger. The aim? To bring the “fun” back to NFTs. And judging by the number of people willing to invest in a nuclear bunker, it’s working. Who knew this would be the future of Web3? 🤔

We’re making fucking history with this one. A Web3 and crypto first—for the culture. 😎

There’s not much to compare this to, but these are the kinds of things that made me fall in love with NFTs in the first place. Taking risks. Getting creative. Pushing the boundaries of what this could be. 💡

Caviar, DJs, and Canned Beans: Welcome to the Bunker Resort 🥂

If the bunker buy succeeds (and yes, we’re all crossing our fingers for this), the Meatbags community has a few ideas for how to use it. Think members-only “survival resorts with Doomsday DJs,” or even an Airbnb with “caviar tastings and canned bean room service.” Because why not live like royalty in a Cold War fallout shelter? 👑🍾
