Look at monthly RSI, it's well over 93%.

Only 3 times so far we got over 95.
Each and every time we were into a bubble just about to burst.

About seasteading, I think that, given sufficient time, human nature will disintegrate it. It's true that communes exist, but the members of those communes are usually bound together very strongly by some common, usually supernatural belief system, often by means of force. An example is the Christian communes, many of which exist today. See, for example, the Amish and Mennonite communities. And is has been shown that, although it may appear otherwise on the outside, such communities are far from harmonious on the inside.

The problem I see with seasteading is that ego, greed and the lack of a strong, religious or cult-like binding force or belief system among inhabitants will result in heavy disputes about governance, heavy fighting and general unrest, up to a breaking point when the "mainland" will intervene and enforce order.

Even two people in a family are often unable to cohabit the same house without strong disputes and arguments, to the point of violence and divorce. Imagine what will happen when a group of several people, unknown to each other, and with lots of money to enforce their own opinions, preferences and desires, get together and attempt to co-exist in a relatively small area, physically isolated from the rest of the world...

The whole thing reminds me of Jacque Fresco's "The Venus Project":

It may sound great, almost heavenly, on paper, but I don't think it can last for too long because, sadly, it is not compatible with human nature. And human nature is not easy to change. The former Soviet Union tried it with communism and they failed. It may sound pessimistic, but that's how we are designed.

new ATh in europa = 7500 Euros.

Happy 9k everyone. 

You keep saying that, even at this point?

Yes, it will become interesting once price doubles in a week.

Being a Libertarian, I wish Elwar and anyone else who wants to do Seasteading the best of luck and success. I say go for it. Don't let others tell you what is and isn't possible.

But that being said... the world is full of talkers. I see this all the time with millennials and other idealists (young or old). Willing to sit around and expound for hours, days, years about what they are going to do, or what they think will work, but never putting forth the effort and hard work to actually doing it.

Talk is cheap. It's easy to talk and romanticize about what you are going to do. But the doing is the actual hard part. The upfront planning and mega investment. The million and one decisions that have to be made. The years and years of hard work and effort. That's the "walking the walk" part. Not many people these days that will put their money (and hard work) where their mouth is.

You can't really defend an idea that you think theoretically will work. You are just romanticizing. You have to live it first.

Come on, Bitstamp, do it already... do it!

ok, that is not nay-saying. I was quoting you as an example, but you are right, your posts are not a good example.
I doubt that getting away from poor people is the motivation of the sea guys. they want to get away from bullying nation states bureaucracy.

I hope satoshi nakamoto had not "only" a technical vision. I hope he had a vision for mankind as a whole. maybe he will finance a colony on the moon or mars with his stash.  

 

 You're probably the most down-to-earth person in this thread.  You should do the maintenance on that house of yours before you retire though.  As much as you don't feel like doing it now, it likely wont get any easier to do as you get older.

bitcoin voodoo treasure island off the coast of jamaica sounds more legit :-D weeee

not saying it cant be done. saying an off-shore gated community for the transnational rich isn't interesting
its obscene
 

with the next +10% we will break 10k coming week. 12k by end of 2017 and 60k-100k by end of 2018 sounds reasonable. time to start panic buying.

and what about "New Carolina" as name for the seasteading?

projects like this always get the nay-sayers to do their thing. if mankind had listened to the nay-sayers only, we would be still hunting deer in the forests. I wish you luck and energy.

no tax bills.

Sell the news ... be prepare for 2018.

That's a shame. If there was a worthwhile vision you would not have anything against sharing it. On the contrary. Oh well.
