Title: Idea that will truly make Bitcoin stand out and make history Post by: mskryxz on February 26, 2014, 06:27:10 PM Build the tallest building in the world with Bitcoin and build it in New York and offer it primarily for Bitcoin Businesses?

Instead of a private/public key built on a BTC Physical coin, make it on the actual Bitcoin Building. edit1 We would also need someone or an entity that would be accountable for all the Bitcoins we donate to build this building. Maybe we can even put up a site showing all the donations and the progress to reach x amount goal to start the project. Then we can look for construction companies to do it and all the necessary people to make this a reality. The world trade center symbolized the power of capitalism and the freedom it represents. The Bitcoin Center/Building (Whatever we call it) would represent true freedom and decentralization. Maybe on the top of the building instead of a Helipad, the roof would be the giant Orange "BTC" Symbol so when viewed from space/airplane it would appear beautifu Title: Re: Idea that will truly make Bitcoin stand out and make history Post by: mskryxz on February 26, 2014, 06:29:03 PM Just wanted to add it would show the world that Bitcoiners and the economy that is decentralized would be able to come up with a consensus to make a decision to pool resources and build something that the community wants as a whole.

It's hard as it is to acquire large amounts of Bitcoin. I have a feeling it would be easy to find investors willing to go for this deal...

Madrid had the tallest one in Europe in a time of hunger and very restricted economy. In every ex-soviet state city there is some silly-loking tower trying to convey the superiority of socialism.
Skyscrapers are at best the epitome of corporativism. Real capitalism urbanism looks more like London. There was no skyscraper in the then financial capital of the world until only 50 years ago. With their reliance on massive infrastructures and need for support from government that makes their building worthwhile, I can't see how a tower building would represent bitcoin's change to our world. We tend to think in the old ways, but one of the advantages of decentralization is that no propaganda is needed, people are drawn into it by its own merits. This allows for getting rid of the wasteful efforts for image, including monuments, high-rise buildings, etc. The free are humble, they know their happiness speaks for them. |
