Good to see Proudhon back with his old zany antics.

The bitcoin price is a great lead indicator for google search analytics.
Now that you know...go forth and make millions.

Didn't Professor Bitcorn predict bitcoin price would be $10k?
I know there's a Mayor Bitcorn around here somewhere. He's bullish seeming. Not too bright I guess.. Yep. Found it. Great insight on this guy.  |

What happened? Down $800 in 5 minutes.  If this happened last year we would all be broke. Next year when it drops $10k in 5 minutes will it feel the same? |

As someone who was involved with Bitcoin when this post came up I will say that I have joined the wealthy elite (whatever that means, I believe I have achieved it). This week is my first week of retirement and I will be moving to Tahiti for bigger and better things. Congratulations to others that have stuck around for so long and ensuring that the bankers will have some competition in the land of the wealthy elite. This is gentlemen! |

I have just noticed that after breaking $10000 I look at the price and I can only "see" the most relevant 2 digits. I mean, hundreds have suddenly become completely irrelevant for my feelings just as two digits were until right before $10K.
Anyone else feels the same? It's weird.
Earlier this summer I said "if it keeps going up $100 per week I will be quite pleased" |

Looks like I need to go back to work. Anyone hiring? Do you have any marketable skills ? I did last week but I think I've been out of the work force too long. |

And I repeat my query: What's the vision?
Just a few people living on houseboats. Nothing to concern yourself with. |

That seasteading thing will be an interesting experiment about micro self-ruling.
If people really intends it to live there (instead of just as an excuse for avoiding/reducing taxes elsewhere) it will probably show that most of the problems/fight will come from disagreements on local governance between its members than from any external entity.
I think just about any government system will work with a small amount of people that are there voluntarily and know what they're getting into. The key being the ease of leaving if you don't like it. It certainly won't. Communism doesn't work, for example. It works if everyone agrees to it. Communes for example. Early Christianity was communist. Everyone doesn't. That's why it can never work. But communes exist today. Are you going to go tell them that they don't work? Yes! Did I stutter or something? It has to work on a national scale, or it doesn't ultimately matter. Except insofar as a loner in a hut on the top of a remote mountain matters. Like I said, a small amount of people. |

And we get to deal with pirates. This should be fun.
Meantime 9,000? It's over 9,000?
Wow.
Pirates and waves. Most people that hear about it first usually bring up the waves too. 100 foot waves. And hurricanes. |

^When that first refugee gets turned away, the ugly face of future-states will be staring you right in the face.  Your preconceived notions of something in such a primitive stage is lovely. Takes me to the way way back machine of the early days of Bitcoin. And like Bitcoin, seasteading will be started by libertarians and taken over by the same people that want it regulated and watered down. |

^It's cool. We're not taking any poor people.  Are you as concerned about the hundreds of thousands of miles of ocean front property that aren't cheap? Or just a tiny little floating island that will have no impact upon anyone else? Would you use force to allow poor people to live in ocean front properties? I'm saying, if all this is is just a fork of the current world real estate racket, I don't get the appeal. It is a prototype. The people actually making any decisions about its purpose will not be on Internet websites. They will be living on the seastead working to make it into something bigger. Suddenly it sounds like a multinational corporation. Nope. Sinister.  I can't help it. I like it even less now. Definitely not for you. |
