That's a different one riffing on the same idea. The island one is they trade a suitcase or coconut or whatever back and forth until they've raised the island's GDP enough that it produces a boat for them to leave with.

Look you just pay the crabs in coconut futures to work in a gig economy rewriting AI prompts for fish until you've accumulated enough fishcoins to hire some dolphin contractors to acquire a boat for you with a loan using the assumption that your island's economy will continue this pattern of infinite exponential growth as collateral.
