I think bitcoin be  more like.....



We are very much in the hangover stage.

You have to think big (zoom out), we are in between 0 and 1.

The million BTC question is whether it'll largely leave being considered an asset or not. I'm guessing not.

We are still in the pre-announce stage but the design and location are taking shape.

We are shooting for a cost of around $5 million

Have you asked for a professional estimate of the cost of that project?

Building costs for a low rise office building (excluding furniture) in central US are about 150 $ per ft2 of floor area.  The central building in your project apparently has 3 floors, each with at least 100 x 100 ft2, i.e. some 30'000 ft2 total.  if it were built on land it would cost at least 4.5 M$.  Now consider how much more expensive it is to build something on a hurricane-swept platform at sea, far from any industrial port.

But OK, you may be aiming to build only one 5'000 ft2 platform, without the superstructure.  Even so, you may be underestimating the cost by an order of magnitude.

You may consider buying a second-hand outfit to begin with:

EDIT: On the other hand, people who can afford an antigravity flying yacht can surely afford an apartment on a sea platform.  Cheesy

One of the partners is a developer who has done similar projects and is very active in the seasteading community. He has been working with the designer to come up with something within the goal.

We are not looking at US prices and labor costs. The initial floating platform costs were low but I am sure we will likely see many more costs when the Bahama government comes into the picture.

You're never too old to think young.
Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still over $230 I see. A little sideways after each step up is a good thing.

With month-end expenses to pay, this is a bad time to allocate funds to buying dips anyway.

Happy International Workers' Day everyone.

Do self-employed people and employers count as workers? They probably work at least 3 times as hard as employees.

I may be an old age pensioner but I still work my butt off.

This looks interesting! More info on this?

We are still in the pre-announce stage but the design and location are taking shape.



We are shooting for a cost of around $5 million offering 50,000 shares of $100 each. The initial businesses on the platform will be part of the company and boat slips will be paid to the company with the profits going to the shareholders.

Oh my, this gonna be a good laugh.

Have you gotten a quote on how much it will take to get those poles in place?

Last night's micro-bubble was apparently pulled by Huobi or BTC-e again.  If it was Huobi, could this be the reason?

Huobi Bridges Bitcoin with China’s ‘Booming’ Shanghai Stock Exchange

is launching a new trading platform named Caimao that will enable users to mortgage their bitcoin to borrow Chinese yuan, which are then used for trading shares listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Good labour relations are key to any well functioning capitalist society.

Is what the communists tell the people before they take over and terrorize a nation.
Have you looked into buying a used cruiseliner for your project?

Do you have a solution for jurisdiction issues?

The pilot project will likely be built in the Bahamas with permission from the Bahamas government. At this phase we are looking at a hybrid seastead to be built on columns in shallow water which floating platforms and boats can attach to.

More of a marina as a launching point.

One of the partners is working with the Bahama government, introducing it as a research project.

A used cruiseliner was what Project Blueseed tried. They also tried to fund it via donations, we will be selling shares and be getting revenue from the marina businesses.

This looks interesting! More info on this?

by the way welfare-queens and greedy capitalists are both exploiting the system in their own ways. That is why we need Bitcoin to become the financial backbone of a system which is less easily exploited for personal gain at the expense of the whole. Hint: the more decentralized a system becomes, the harder it gets to bend it according to your will Wink

I sent a card to the CEO of my company thanking for all of his hard work which keeps me employed.

It's all about thanking the workers today.
Don't forget to thank the shareholders for putting up the capital invested in the business and giving you all a job.

Definitely, it takes a lot of work to keep track of the market and buy at the right time and risk to keep me employed.


And the American voter who votes for more taxes to give government more power so they can pay for the military which keeps me employed. Thanks for taxing the rich American voter!
