At least if Brazil legalizes guns we can start seriously considering it as a seastead destination.
The Atlantic Ocean off of Brazil is a vast open area with no hurricanes and low waves.
We have not considered it due to the crime.

those composite 3d printed seastead mock ups of yours dont look very protective when the ordinance starts flying.
hide in the steel spar? how to return fire? remote turrets?
see: waterworld for an (extreme and somewhat satiric) example.
perhaps im being punked on this though.
If he learns anything from last time, I hope its that at some point they will definitely be attacked. It even happened to the original mother of all seasteads:

Quote
Since 1967, the decommissioned HM Fort Roughs has been occupied by family and associates of Paddy Roy Bates, who claim that it is an independent sovereign state.
...
In August 1978, Alexander Achenbach, who describes himself as the Prime Minister of Sealand, hired several German and Dutch mercenaries to lead an attack on Sealand while Bates and his wife were in England. Achenbach had disagreed with Bates over plans to turn Sealand into a luxury hotel and casino with fellow German and Dutch businessmen. They stormed the platform with speedboats, Jet Skis and helicopters, and took Bates's son Michael hostage. Michael was able to retake Sealand and capture Achenbach and the mercenaries using weapons stashed on the platform. Achenbach, a German lawyer who held a Sealand passport, was charged with treason against Sealand and was held unless he paid DM 75,000 (more than US$35,000 or £23,000). Germany then sent a diplomat from its London embassy to Sealand to negotiate for Achenbach's release. Roy Bates relented after several weeks of negotiations and subsequently claimed that the diplomat's visit constituted de facto recognition of Sealand by Germany.

Father and son badasses.
It will show whether we are building a floor of a bull ladder before the next climb above 10K, or the decline will continue until some solid support is found. These dead cat bounces were typical for the last 2 years. But the odds are now in favour of the bulls IMO. I mean both the halving and the big volume of bitcoins withdrawn from exchanges since March 12th are good premises for the price to increase.
