how do you do Will you hold an event about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies?
I see many people who are still unable to make good use of blockchain technology right now and therefore cannot pay with cryptocurrency.
Hope you can change their minds with these free presentation programs.

Well said, i will agree with you.Cryptocurrency it's not easy to use any person.Some of the people as well as knowing this but it's not enough for the country.They're many people don't knowledge about cryptocurrency.How to use cryptocurrency,what is cryptocurrency they are making mny question for a general people.To speak be frank your concept is good but your need to spand more and more time then hopefully will be success.Why people use cryptocurrency and what's it's beneficial? your need to share knowledge with people.

Isn't United States and particularly state of New York now infamous for being one of the most trigger happy places on Earth for exerting the authority of the state on its people to the point that some are calling the country names like "police" & "surveillance" state

A crypto district in New York would likely make the news very fast with everyone involved in such a project hunted down by the IRS & FBI and compromising their financial fortunes and earning power, if not their very freedoms...

As a matter of fact, many smart Americans I know are keeping their assets offshore or even expatriating out of the country so they don't feel the sting of Big Daddy reaching in to their bank accounts for the most frivolous reasons...

In any case, this idea has every chance to translate into reality. Especially not for nothing that the United States of America is called the Country of Opportunities. After all, many can realize their dreams in this country, and the cryptocurrency quarter in New York is no exception.

That's the spirit and I was moved by it. You could possibly do it by starting in simple ways. Advertising and promoting cryptocurrency at your place would be a good start. You should inform everyone in your community about the advantages and risks of cryptocurrency. There will surely be people who will support your journey. Nothing is impossible if you'll work hard for it.

I am very happy to hear enthusiasm from various countries about it and building districts in New York City. Hopefully with the building you can have a good influence on the price movements of bitcoin and hold education about cryptocurrency so that more people and more demand in the cryptocurrency.

Having the proper mindset is crucial.

I like your idea despite the fact that it looks like impossible to implement. The chances are small, but they are not zero, and that's what important.

I think you should try to attract as many advertisers as possible, not necessarily crypto related ones, in order to make those high rental payments more realistic to deal with. Think of this look of the DeFi District:

Crypto community consists of open minded people, in general, so I think they wouldn't mind having a district that looks like on the photo above, instead of something as boring as this one:

Just my two cents, because I don't only wish you good luck with your project, but I also want to be helpful as much as I can.

elaboration is the Key OP,people her are more than interested on how you will conduct this project and maybe some are also from newyork or states near you that might interested in helping you for crypto popularization and for our own good also
you are targeting one of the most popular and biggest city in the world so help from others might bring this to success
but first let us know how would this be.

OP doesn't mention about USING bitcoin in NewYork instead he will build crypto district and that made us all curious about what.why and how will this become reality

There are times when I do not fully agree with someone who is proposing something big just like a Crypto District and not only that but in the middle of New York City. Now, I do not usually laugh at dreamers because there are the people that keeps the flame of innovations and changes alive. However, to dream has no limit actually and it is free so anybody can do it regardless of financial condition, race, religion, gender or whatever human limitations. But then since we are living in the reality, there is a need to dissect the big dream into smaller digestible parts so we will not be overwhelmed. I am suggesting that a project proponent made a specific program of works where the details are expounded and ideas on how to achieve things are explained. I am supporting your dream and hope that years from now it can be a big reality.

There are many countries where bitcoin has not been legalized yet but if all the investors join hands together and demand its legalization in their state, I am pretty sure government will give in to their demands. Bitcoin is not a black money; it is a transparent system of making money. it could even help governments in reducing poverty.

A district that restricts only the use of cryptocurrency(?), I like it. Not only it will have media attention (as they always do) which will result in even more exposure to blockchain and the existence of cryptocurrency. It will also grant instantaneous accessibility for a lot of users, which makes it convenient.

So the question now is, how will you start this project? I'm sure you already have plans ready as we speak.

During Satoshi's time posting at this board regularly, how many other members were really negative about Satoshi's idea? Were there a lot of posters here saying it cannot be done? I think Satoshi's concept was supported differently during that time but today there are tons of those types posting here.

You can look at his early posts and read the threads from that time. Back then, it was a geek endeavor and people were quite supportive. As Bitcoin gained more attention over the years, the naysayers started coming out in numbers.

In California there are some bright people who will love the concept of the DeFi District.

Heck if they have the right mindset, I will fly out to them and start building this thing out West if need be... Having the proper mindset is crucial.

Also set up an email for communicating with donors. Sending Bitcoin to the wallet takes only a minute or two. Donors will be sending peer to peer and not through any banks! People that believe in this project can donate coins freely.

If you want a Satoshi Square you will have to put in some work for it.

your saying that its possible but you also said that its not going to be easy . are you encouraging or discouraging the op ? if its possible then its possible but nothing really is impossible for a person that is willing and dedicated to pursue his goals/plans . nyc is big , but that is already a good start since its a big country and its also a well developed country , meaning to say, alot of people on this country are now aware if what is crypto . its not hard if your going to have a project related to crypto because people will surely be attracted on it .

It is named Wall Street Atrium. It is located at 60 Wall Street, NY, NY, 10005. This is a world-class indoor atrium with plenty of arrangeable seating and tables, a coffee shop, free WiFi, with professional security guards regularly on site, it is an easy 1 minute walk to the NYSE, and there is an escalator that directly links to the 2-3 trains. This atrium is wide open and free every day, morning noon and nights, excluding some major holidays.

So now there is a meeting place.

Of course, we can assume that the whole area of New York can be named after cryptocurrency, but knowing what laws in the United States, it can be accurately assumed that such an idea will encounter very big bureaucratic problems. Especially if you take into account the current attitude of the US government towards cryptocurrencies, then you can not rely on the support of local or central authorities.

Some facts: "FiDi" is printed on the maps in NYC and FiDi is well known. The Financial District is the heart of finance in New York City. It includes Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange all the way to One World Trade Center.

The DeFiDi, is appropriately christened. DeFiDi will be a physical location. We do not yet know the exact site of DeFiDi but it will be massive enough to have the name installed on the subway map. This is all part of the planning process.

Oh and the kids will love it. Wink

Instead of creating a whole new Crypto District and finding the money to fund the high rentals, why not just fund a education drive to increase Bitcoin education and adoption with the existing retailers and companies that are doing business there already? I think that would be much easier and cheaper to do than going big like this. Roll Eyes

New York City is also the birth place of the BitLicense and one of the most controversial business licenses that was enforced in that state. Doing business in a city with regulators that are that close minded is going to be a uphill battle. Good Luck.

And you need lots of money to be able to realize your dream. Finding investors maybe one way to get funds but the difficult thing is how to convince them that this project will run and you must know that investors will always calculate profit and loss.
When it comes to crypto I find it difficult to get support from the government, because the government itself has not yet found the benefits to be gained from adopting crypto in daily life in its environment.

too bad ICOs are dead eh? Cheesy

I'm not here to burst your bubble but the answer may surprise you a bit.
According to coimarketcap.com, total market capacity for the entire crypto market is currently around ~0.2 trillion $
So the answer to you question is actually zero trillions... unfortunately.
I guess 213 billions of dollars still can make an impression, yes?
Dream big as the say (I see you like proverbs) but maybe start with something more realistic (do not tilt at windmills), like NY-BTC-day or NY-crypto-fest? Couple of days of sheer fun, a parade maybe a concert etc. Definitely impressive achievement in terms of spreading the crypto awareness, without any districts takeovers and all the legislative hassle.

How about we put a Japanese steak house in the middle of the District? Like a really fine steak house. It makes me hungry just thinking about it... and I think the Japanese will fully support this project.

We really do not need politicians, because when building a District like this, politicians are secondary (if that even). I'd take a Japanese steak house operation over some NYC politician any day of the week. So let's all just tuck those politicians back into their little cages for now...

You have a great idea but such ideas need support from someone or something already in the early phase. Now you're like a kid who says he'll be an astronaut one day, without knowing if he has the brains and the physics to go through all the tests.
First go and talk to politicians and business owners and ask if some of them would support the project. Why did you choose NYC? It's not the cheapest of places and the Bitlicense sucks.

Let's get back to the basics, alright...

We need to build a Crypto District.
It needs to be in NYC.
And we need sit down and talk with somebody with huge influence, like the mayor
Or the governor, or somebody very influential like that.
And we need to speak with them Directly,
Directly meaning: with no interference from distracting people jumping in the way.
Just you, me, and the mayor or somebody like that who can truly lift this dream up and make it a reality...

And we need a Business Pitch.
A business pitch unlike any other!
We need like a 3-layer Business Pitch. That includes:
1. A 15-20 second pitch to immediately grab any Decision Markers short attention span (They're Already Hooked you see!!)
2. Then a 1-5 minute pitch to describe and expand upon our idea and really lay it out for Decisions Makers (Start telling them how this will benefit NYC and it will benefit their own political strengths, Exponentially!!!)
3. And lastly a 5-10 minute spiel to smooth out the details, to give them The Inside Scoop and The Blueprint showing how other stakeholders will be tied in, and, a Timeline with our goal posts, what we need to do in order to achieve those goals, and how to arrive there successfully

We need something like a Visual Aid...
We need something like a 3D model or a series of poster boards
With Artists Renderings...
Something that depicts something in an irresistible fashion
Something with undeniable Style
And Class,
Yet it is realistic and obtainable.

This is something we all really want to sink our teethes into,
But it's something we all wonder if it can be done or not...
Like that lingering doubt
Matched with undertones of excitement and undeniable energy.
Something we have never quite seen before unless maybe in The Movies,
But something with Big Possibilities,
And something that peaks everybody's interest....

The Crypto District is for absolutely Everyone.

We need to get in to see the governor,
We need to say our piece,
Make a memorable and convincing case,
Get out
And then follow up.

Now the Ball is Really Rolling!!

We need to Create a Spectacle.

A spectacle of sorts with a future unfolding that people just can't quiet put their fingers on exactly what it is,
But their interests are still peaked enough that they might want to be part of it,
Or at the very least they want to see the District built, they support the concept clearly.
Many may just want to sit on the sidelines, talk about the project with people, and enjoy and root the project on
Follow it's progress in The News,
And just see what happens

Anything can happen with this.

Does the mayor and governor already know that Satoshi literally started our message board here???
Do they already know that we have over 2.5 Million registered members and counting???
FYI, that is a TON of members we have!~
Well, now they know....

Let me ask you this:
How many Trillion dollars worth of Crypto is already floating around out there already?
How much, huh?
Any statistic experts out there want to Chime In? Anybody have The Answer???
We must be talking Trillions Of Dollars, right?
For the love of Crypto, somebody get us some solid stats about how much this industry is currently worth....

Let me put it to you this way....
Manhattan already has a Flower District,
It already has a Garment District,
Sure we all like the pretty flowers and plants...Who Doesn't?
And sure we all like some expertly sewn clothes and costumes too!!
But put that aside for one moment and let's take an honest appraisal at the sheer Economics here...
Because, Crypto is worth more than ANYTHING ELSE OUT THERE...
I rest my case on that..

This is a truly intriguing project.
Everybody wants to see this district grow and flourish....

Now let's get to work on this.

I support your dream and your goal, it's not going to be easy but don't do it by yourself ask for helps from experts in that area I'm sure you can find one, you can form a group, ask people to share their experiences, give them pamphlets, and most important lead by example you should be an investor, if you reach that goal, people can imitate what you've achieved in that region.

"I'm pretty sure there aren't dedicated crypto communites or organizations devoted to such. Are there?"
Yes this is happening in NYC. Yes, but it is in infant stages. I think it is a lot of people arriving on the scene and they can be overly ambitious and controlling but cryptocurrency appears to have an interesting profile of randomness and it is difficult to pin down within the context of old fashion business operations. So, one person will not lead the show per se because the cryptocurrency environments can reject individual plans.

Something I notice is that females have entered the crypto job arena. They have great jobs that must pay well, but are they really truly interested in this technology, or is it just their job?

"The rates would be astronomical for an entire street, not high, that's not even close. "
Oh heck yeah it would be astronomical. But I am an optimist about it. Plus there are tons of opportunities in NYC. There are lesser expensive and run down areas, in outer boroughs, that are cheaper and have more room for this.

The thing about it is that crypto is going to be all over the city. I am seeing a pattern that crypto is not something that can be contained in any one district. However, housing a bunch of people with crypto jobs, to build a community concentrated like that, like a larger incubator with housing and buildings with their offices. And food places. Laundry. To transform a run down area into a thriving crypto community. Now that is more like it. It still has possibilities.

"Do you honestly think the government is going to pump money into your plan just because kids might love it?"
NYC government is massive and it operates unlike any other city in the world. I think the NYC government would be the #1 biggest supporter for this type of vision we are drafting up. They would support the living Hell outta this sort of concept. They already are I think.

"This is quite hard to implement in New York."
Man, Everything is hard in NY. It is that way for me at least. It may not be the largest city in the world but we are really massive with a mix of everybody and everything. The amount of red tape in NYC, well it's weighty. But crypto is here already. It has already started. There are hundreds of crypto related businesses here already. Oh and how about Wall Street. And the New York Stock Exchange. This is still the world centerpiece of finance however you want to cut it.

It is probable that NYC is already the crypto capital of the world, and I am not just saying that. The city has already recognized the importance of taking the lead on the race to digital assets and "blockchain". It's important to NYC.

"Most people with decent incomes can't even afford to live in NYC as far as I know. "
Yeah that is definitely the most common way of looking at NYC rents. But think of it this way: there are also people here who have so much money and so much property that they do not know what to do with it all. There are still plenty of vacant lots in outer boroughs.

There are people who get gifted whole portfolios of buildings for nothings day. It seriously happens. There is magic to money. I mean look back at Walt Disney. He built a fucking cartoon castle in a remote and uninhabitable swamp. He built the castle before anything else was ready. That castle was enough to keep the workers interested and believing in his wild vision. Now look at Florida!

"Hell, I just learned that residents in my state can't use Binance anymore (nor can New Yorkers for that matter)."
The best thing that ever happened to New York was Binance blocking us. We don't need Binance. Thank you Binance! You always sucked!

It can be, it can't be. I know that the OP is wanting to help the community but there will always be an opposing party and I am not talking about the people disagreeing here, I am talking about the people that will abuse this crypto district when it is already built, someone that has the power to increase the tax from it since they can't tax investors of crypto currencies directly.

Again, I totally support OP for his crazy dream--but I don't think this sort of business model could justify renting out that much space in Manhattan. You're absolutely correct that the rent would be astronomical. Most people with decent incomes can't even afford to live in NYC as far as I know. A friend of a friend rented a tiny little apartment in Manhattan about 15 years ago, and the rent was like $1500/month. I can't even imagine how much it would cost to rent an entire block of buildings. How would you even get financing for that with this proposal? I'm trying not to be a "negative ninny" but damn.

And I was thinking about this since I wrote my previous post: isn't New York NOT crypto-friendly? If I recall correctly, they were one of the first states where exchanges like Coinbase couldn't operate. I could have the details wrong, but I do remember getting the impression that NY didn't support crypto-based businesses. Hell, I just learned that residents in my state can't use Binance anymore (nor can New Yorkers for that matter).

You might need a lot of time to process everything and it is not that easy because it is like you are making a pioneering business that you are the only one knows. That means you have a secret recipe/ingredients to make yourself one of the people that are on the top of the list.

And you also need the help of the people in order to build your dream/plan i guess you have the right charisma to unite people to join at your cause. Wink

Already people have got united and has created separate cryptocurrency nation. This country has less than ten citizens. Creating a district in New York is not an easy task, because already they've got their own policies and laws to be followed. Building a crypto district needs everything to be changed with reference to legal formation. This is quite hard to implement in New York.

Listen Buster, in a Free World a person can dream, scheme, and have wild ideas. At least I am not some Negative Ninny like most of the Bitcoin Talkers who respond to my business plan topics (that is topics, plural, because this is numero tres).

I am a 58 year old guy here among a rather youthful crowd of people that have better computer skills than me, but I have real life business experience, and I have Zeel... So you can say what you want to say and do what you want to do.

So I seen this area at East 34th Street, this is near the Empire State Building. But the idea is that we need the whole street. I mean the whole damn street needs to be converted into a new theme of crypto and Bitcoin related commerce with specialty store fronts, crypto cafes, the whole shabang. Not just one store but a whole massive street dedicated to this.

Sure the rents are high.

The rates would be astronomical for an entire street, not high, that's not even close.

We need government and city support not just one or two angel investors because we need to make a street into a whole new concept style of: Crypto District.

Do you honestly think the government is going to pump money into your plan just because kids might love it?
If they do this here would be thousands of lawsuits since other business will feel discriminated by this, which is essentially state aid.

New York needs this. The world needs this."

Common, I understand your enthusiasm but the world will do fine even without a crypto street as if a hundred cafe and restaurants accepting bitcoin would solve something.
You should really start first your small business and then think of creating such a project, you're going to encounter a lot of surprises and things you had no idea about previously. Things are not that easy out there, you don't set a shop and it starts raining customers and money.

The wheels are already in motion. See this topic here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52386343

"I have been out there scouting for a location in NYC. The thing I see is that the city is having a real estate crisis with way too many empty retail spaces. So I see this as a great opportunity for us. Another thing I have learned is that our idea is just too small... It needs to be bigger and I mean much much bigger if we plan to really get something cool happening.

So I seen this area at East 34th Street, this is near the Empire State Building. But the idea is that we need the whole street. I mean the whole damn street needs to be converted into a new theme of crypto and Bitcoin related commerce with specialty store fronts, crypto cafes, the whole shabang. Not just one store but a whole massive street dedicated to this.

Sure the rents are high. But we need a whole (Major) street in Manhattan. We need government and city support not just one or two angel investors because we need to make a street into a whole new concept style of: Crypto District.

There is already a store on East 34th Street for virtual reality. See: www.vrworldnyc.com We need to expand or partner with them, or just buy them out. Our main partners need to be the city government itself with a push to expand the struggling commercial real estate issues into something more feasible that can solve an interesting combonation of concerns while adapting into the future of digital finance.

The kids will love it.

East 34th is busy as hell, that was the one thing I don't like about it. It's not pedestrian friendly. Maybe we need to keep scouting. But we need to build New Yorks new Crypto District, not just some internet cafe, we need a whole road built out for this. New York needs this. The world needs this."

Japanese proverb: "The water of even a great ocean comes one drop at a time"

I'm not sure that's exactly true, because all the oceans were already in place when whatever Japanese person coined the proverb.

In any case, I'd be interested to know at least a few details about what you're planning, though I think you're just blowing smoke here. But the reason for my interest is that I don't live all that far away from NYC. I've always wondered how many N'Yawkers are into bitcoin--I'm sure it's a lot just based on the population alone, but I'm pretty sure there aren't dedicated crypto communites or organizations devoted to such. Are there?

I've not visited NYC in a long time, but I'd love to go back one of these days. If you ever do get anything started, keep this thread updated, eh?

how do you do Will you hold an event about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies?
I see many people who are still unable to make good use of blockchain technology right now and therefore cannot pay with cryptocurrency.
Hope you can change their minds with these free presentation programs.
