Whether it was a hoax or not, he gave people a reason to explore and encouraged the adventurous spirit that led to humanity's greatest achievements, minus the genocide/slavery aspect that came with those accomplishments. Most people don't have the chance to go on any real adventure in their lifetime, and the few unexplored regions of the earth are either very inhospitable, or inaccessible to the vast majority of people due to lack of resources, or both.

There's a big difference between hiking (adventurous spirit) and looking for money. Completely different. Most don't take the same safety precautions. Fantasizing about millions buried close by. Fenn announces this right before death? Huge red flag. No names, location, pictures, proof. Nothing but vague statement. I haven't lost faith in humanity, just him. Look up his background. For one, he was raided by the feds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
