We need to start small.
Maybe first buy an old aircraft carrier, and test it, so we learn with the mistakes and can go bigger.

Also the carrier can be incorporated in our armed forces later

A Great Time to Start Something!
...it's all in the far future
....

"The future is now" and almost everything is accelerating at a fast pace.
Hopefully the 'good events' can happen before a complete Global economic collapse.

well, it won't be a collapse for us since we're bitcoin owners Cheesy

I sold most of mine "well above" the 2011 low == ~$7.25/btc; At the time it looked like a pretty good price...
"it won't be a collapse for us"
I'm working toward earning "real income" from BTC, then I can be as optimistic as you.

This. i assume that btc adoption by amazon or some kind of the big internet vendor is going to be the next big step.

Amazon would never adopt Bitcoins, so forget about it. The next big name can come from any sector, not just the online retailers. Can be Van Cleef & Arpels, Swarovski, or even the Starbucks.

Sorry, but I had to quote this. Honestly, after Dell and Newegg started accepting BTC, it isn't too far off to see Amazon accepting them either.

well, one day in the future even PayPal might integrate bitcoins in its system

it's all in the far future

and so is our island Smiley

however, taking it from 1 guy and a pricess shouldn't be that hard Cheesy

you could make a flying island, like the book Gulliver's Travels

Great idea!
...and you can afford to pay the cost of construction Mr Mark K.  Shocked

You cannot kill love
I would not recommend residing on a small island in the immediate future with the incoming tsunami.  Earth's pole's flipping is no small deal.

If you have enough budget you can just bought some small islands and declare sovereignty. Or just conquer small island nation. With 1 billion usd I guess more than enough to have small micronation and strong enough military to protect from invaders.

If all bitcoin holders would fund this project this could be possible.
Sounds like a great idea, where do I sign up for this bitcoin funded nation takeover?

Funny but they arent short of land in that area so far as I know, all these skyscrapers in the desert are not required exacly.  I guess its no worse then Las vegas, society deems a point to it :p
  Just that all this work allows everyone to live by the sea?  In a hot country thats nice but when the sea level rises over a century isnt that really not great land to own

^^^^^ OK. Let me study the two locations which you have pointed out. They needs to be in international waters, and they needs to be shallow enough to build an artificial island.

Happy Easter from the USSA.  Smiley 

Building an artificial island is a fascinating idea.
The primary ones I'm aware of are in/near Dubai and this one (Palm Island) looks like it's doing really well:



i guess arab have a great mind by building this wonderful island

they are paid by the arabs, but mostly build by the Dutch, the Dutch are experts in building islands after all.

How did i never notice this topic?  Shocked

I think the saya de Malha bank is a pretty nice place as well, climate should be good there.

And, as long as there's no pirates (or we can hire our own frigate) it should be easy to import most goods, easy trade routes by sea from europe, asia and oceania. (and africa obviously)

the dark blue part between japan and indonesia may also be a pretty good place.

There is an interesting Russian "island"... They built some oil rigs, but it was close enough to shore that they just built a bridge to it. Now it's a fairly large settlement, with a decent population. Can't remember the name...

make a big sbmarine, and we live subwaters, like the Vernes book

it would be easier to build a huge floating platform on which everyone could live, but that's not the point of this thread
