summary
bitcoin island is centralised and takes a large stake out of everyones pocket and puts it into one persons hands.

Not just one person's if the land is purchased by people pooling their money and voting using the blockchain toward what they want.

And the infrastructure can be created by others pooling their money toward different investments.

Billions are not needed for a small island with 20-30 land owners renting to visitors or selling out parcels.

20 people pledging 50 bitcoins each when the bitcoin price hits $10k then they have $10 million for the purchase.

That would be enough for this 36,000 acre island:

A similar amount of 20 people pledging 50 bitcoins would be enough for a solar array with electricity sent to each of the 20 1,800 acre properties. Maybe even doing solar roads instead of a solar array to kill two birds with one stone.

once buying the island. to set up a hotel for people to stay, some shops for people to buy stuff, some offices to work in, some roads to join it all together, some warehouses to hold stock, some utility cables, and sewage/water piping.. ends op as atleast $4 billion.. thats a large stake of bitcoins in circulation.. so yea.. throw money at the fund manager as he rubs his hands together. but realise that its much easier and cheaper to make the world accept bitcoin rather than throw everybitcoiner onto a concentration camp isand..

summary
bitcoin island is centralised and takes a large stake out of everyones pocket and puts it into one persons hands. just to build.. think smart. i dont know why people think up these dreams but it wont help bitcoin world wide one bit..

Bitcoin is antisemitic

Here is a very good option: a tiny island in the mediterranean with an old fortress on it:
http://www.montenegroinvestments.info/projects/mamula-island

 And the best part is that its home country (Montenegro) is very very business friendly, very very low-tax and very cheap. There is possible to get even a banking license at a very cheap price: https://www.offshore-manual.com/europe-montenegro.html or setup an e-gambling business: http://e-gambling.me/en/16/services (or maybe both in one).

That is one beautiful island.
Is it in danger from being in a hurricane zone? 

I believe that the Ionian Sea is normally free of hurricanes.

Sounds great
I'm ready to earn the freedom to travel.
Currently, I need to "get all my ducks in a row."

Skorpios would be a good choice but I doubt it's for sale.
Bill Gates has shown interest to buy it but it wasn't for sale.



This one is perfect Smiley maybe a little too big ... Tongue but at least everyone will have enought space to live Tongue

I would not want to live on an island with you derelicts.
In no other community have I had to protect myself from so many dishonest, scammy, schemers.

It would be exhausting living in perpetual defense. 

Bitcoin revealed that much of the world plays from a different rulebook - void of conscience.
I'm OK with my distance from many of you.

Yeah pretty much.

My only consolation would be that the scumbags would be there to fight in person.  And I believe I'd fare ok ... long as I had a secure place to sleep  Roll Eyes

Instead of an island, crowdfunding for a Noah's Ark ship where it circles around the world picking up bitcoiners along the way, explore the arctic, stop by amazon river mouth, organize bitcoin conferences, it loads with nitrox tanks for adventurous bitcoiners to organize coinsummit on the sea bed of cocos island while observing sharks feeding, pick up some asic rigs from china to mine onboard, etc.

Common property. Lands, ships, stuff and manage everything though some king of p2p ledger system.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
April 04, 2014, 05:30:39 PM
We should amass bitcoins and buy an island.. make it a country and have it's currency BTC.  That is all.

yea fuck america and it's hI*h taxes!!  lets call it New Zealand and make the currency Ruples or something    Smiley

seriously America is the greatest on Earth!  but we have many problems of our own (such as an overcrowded penal system, etc..)

Luckily for us(US), the overcrowding was answered with more jails constructed and FEMA Resorts. What are the chances of having Darian as the conductor for the free train ride to the latter?

thepiratebay.se tried to do the same thing:
1- buy an island
2- declare independence
3- create a nation where all online programs are free

So why don't we team up with them?  Grin

because instead of making bitcoin community, a small colony on a small island. its easier and cheaper to get world acceptance

It will be much harder to pull this off as an island. You're better off building a bitcoin commune. Exactly what TDV is doing in Chile.

An isolated island can become self-sufficient, and free from outside interference. A commune, located within another sovereign nation will not achieve that objective.
