An early Bitcoin investor and self-confessed libertarian has built the first “seastead” with his BTC profits. For those who do not know, a seastead is a floating home designed to stay in international waters, thus allowing its inhabitants to live outside of the laws of any nation.
I'm confused which part is more fascinating, a seastead floating home or a seastead floating home with bitcoins. I'm not against their wealth or something but this clearly affects the eco-system in the waters. Like to stay away from the bullshit we created, we invade the territories of the poor sea creatures.

I think it's more fascinating to see a seastead floating home. Any successful stories that is behind by bitcoin is a very common thing and it's a rare to see that they uses it to make a wonderful home. I also realize that it make damage to the sea and they can be the 'cause of it's pollution. I hope they're not just rich people thus with good heart to maintain the beauty of the ecosystem. If they still have a lot more btc, they should also fund the projects that help saving the water.

What does wealth have to do with having a good heart?

The key here is that by having our own property on the sea that makes it our responsibility. That means we must take care of it since nobody else will.

Check out the tragedy of the commons. Basicaly, those places that are owned by nobody goes to shit because nobody has a stake in it.

The plastic we see floating by our seastead comes from land. Poor countries literally dump their garbage in the ocean. Do they not have good hearts?

Really? is that true that if you live in the sea you are not subject by the law of any nation?

the poor sea creatures.
Poor?? I think you are wrong you are under estimating the creatures of god, always remember that 70% of earth is water.

Not many laws. We are still subject to maritime law (law of the sea) which prevents eggrevious acts such as murder or slave trafficing, etc.
Being still within the Thai EEZ we cannot drill for oil or other natural resources.
None of those laws affect us though.

We are not planning on being out here alone forever. We have many people interested in buying and once we have 20 orders we will begin the process of bringing more people.

We will be building the seasteads from the seastead site. So plenty of jobs and potential for investors.

It's quite interesting.. I mean the 'house-is-floating' is already interesting plus the fact that you were able to do and get what you want with the help of bitcoin, makes it more interesting. However while reading the article, I was expecting to see a picture though. It would be better to see a picture of the house so it's easy to visualize. Regardless of that, I hope they're enjoying it

I think they want a more unique one because yacht and boats are being seen around so a seastead is a good choice to buy and to buy it thru Bitcoin profits made me amazed.

Anyway, they are early adopters of Bitcoin and this is the result of their patience so those hodlers and will hodl Bitcoin there, just be patient in hodling Smiley

This is something different, early adopters were making their lives go good with the profiting from the early adoption. A Seadtead is truly a new term, also this kind of unique development will help with generating revenue. Because, very few could've got an opportunity to view it.

Wouldn't a good boat be enough? like a Yacht or something with nice habitation inside? I mean what could possibly warrant a "seastead" or "floating home" when many regular ships can do the same thing and be easier to move and more reliable should weather conditions worsen? OK i guess a floating home could do in a lake or such, but i think this couple is in open sea, which in itself could spell trouble...

Seasteading is all about sovereignty. Living on a boat on a lake makes you subject to all of the laws of your nation.

Seasteading is about not being under any laws of any nation and building a new society with a blank slate.

The only way to do that in the past was through a violent revolution. Seasteading is doing so peacefully.

What kind of laws can you break when you are the only human in your house? You need to have both a victim and an aggressor to commit a crime. Seasteading sounds the same as reclusion. And not because you are not under the jurisdiction of any government but because you physically can't break any law.

Another successful people who have gain huge amount of profit in bitcoin. Maybe some of the people already bought a house, car or anything because of the profit that they gain in bitcoin. I hope I also gain huge amount money from bitcoin so I can also provide the things that I need.

An interesting venture. If someone likes to spend time alone or just in the company of loved ones or friends, it is a very nice investment. However, I would not stay in this place for too long, I love to meet new people.
I am glad that they managed to cash out the Bitcoin profits at the right time. At current BTC prices, they probably would not be able to realize this project.

I knew I read about this before on the forums but it wasnt to do with bitcoin at the time but now it is.
To my surprise it was by the same person who posted about it now Grin

I never heard about this concept until they mentioned it in the post and was completely blown away with it being able to make 60 liters of drinkable water and it can withstand tsunami like waves with not being knocked down.

Hey Elwar, is that your real name though in that article? If yes, are you comfortable that crypto related website identified you and your partner though?

When I saw the title I almost thought this was the same project in French Polynesia. Would have been nice if there were photos. Well, best of luck to the couple. They're living their dream.

Where are they gonna "station" their house though? Is the Gulf of Thailand international water? I just hope they've prepared for security situations. What's the international law regarding firearms at home? You'll never know when a pirate would climb up your house.

This is something to be proud of. I just hope they don't suffer any physical damage or die eventually from the unstable waves of water current. Seeking freedom through bitcoin and now they found freedom from their government.
