Aren't there concerns with safety from hurricanes, tidal waves, etc.? Also even though you would be outside of government influence and taxes you would also not have law enforcement protections.

Tahiti has not had a hurricane or cyclone in over 100 years. The closer you are to the equator the less those things happen.

We would initially be under French Polynesia law protections.

Nice. I just moved to Korea. Now I just need a Korean bank account.

No, taxation is not theft.

Technically it is extortion.

Theft is the forced taking. They do not take it forcefully. They threaten you with the use of force unless you hand them your money. Which is extortion.

Perhaps, you will have to one day grow up and realize you are not special snowflake in a vacuum but human being and part of society. Otherwise, I see very little reason to exchange tyranny of atheistic, socialistic governments for tyranny of sea steading atheists, who believe in the survival of the fittest. More likely than not, they are not "fittest" either. If they were, they wouldnt seek refuge outside of society in the first place.

If you do not believe that you are already living in a world of survival of the fittest you are looking at the world wrong. Those with the weapons run things. Look around.


Why would you care if there is someone somewhere in the world that is free? I imagine if there was someone deep in a cave somewhere practicing freedom you would want to stop this "part of society" from exercising such freedom. Track them down and make them conform. Otherwise what? You couldn't live with yourself knowing that someone else is more free than everyone else?

This price is just crazy.

Lovin it though.

Last year I said that if bitcoin hit $2k I would stand up at work and walk out.

Of course, I just took a job for a friend of mine who I respect so I will give him 6 months.

I just finished up a week in Tahiti for the first ever Tahitia seasteading conference.

The takeaway is that French Polynesia supports us building the first ever seastead in one of their protected lagoons. They are willing to set up a Special Economic Zone for the seastead that will allow us to have our own economic laws but still require following their criminal laws. So things such as taxes, labor laws, business regulation etc will be handled by us, things such as murder, rape, theft etc will be handled under the current French system. And of course, defense against pirates will fall under the French navy's responsibility.

The legislation should go through by the end of 2017 and then 2018 we can get started. Likely first seastead will be up in 2020.

I will be working with a great team of cryptocurrency experts to see how we can integrate Bitcoin and blockchain technology for things such as title management, equity investments, shares, etc.

2 k.
One of the best weekends ever Smiley

Porsche or ferrari? Cheesy

Strangely enough, as high as bitcoin goes I still look for a reasonable car under $5k that will last a few years with low maintenance.

Though I spent more than that in the last week on a vacation.
2930  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 18, 2017, 06:51:00 PM
Pulled out my bitcoin app and it was defaulted to Kraken. I noticed the price high was $2589. Some crazy anomoly from the looks of it.
2931  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Seasteading on: May 16, 2017, 08:15:02 AM
How would you be protected from pirates and such? Most countries can't protect their citizen on land and can't effectvally watch all waterflow.

Also a certain nation in Asia(North Korea) has reports of abducting people from boats in sea, they may attack you and the outside world would never know what happened.

And I don't think the nations and people fleeing to live outside their jurisdiction, I think even the "host" nation would be a threat

Pirates? We don't develop near nations where pirating is common.

If any project starts out with "we have to be able to defend ourselves against nations" then it's dead from the start. Imagine if everyone considering buying a boat thought "I can't buy this boat, Korea may attack me".

I am currently in Tahiti for a seasteading conference. Should be interesting. Spent the last few weeks scoping out Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Thailand seems like it has good potential.

Pro vaxxer: Vaccinations work!
Pro vaxxer: don't infect me bro
(even though supposedly vaccines work).

Right.

I mean, if vaccinations worked, why would any vaccinated person be afraid of a sick person? He couldn't transmit the disease to the vaccinated person... if vaccination worked, right?

Cool

The propaganda tells them that unless 70% 85% 90% 95% 97% of people are vaccinated 'we' won't have 'herd immunity' and sickness will sweep through.

I guess they didn't stop to think 'sweep through what?' if so many people are supposedly immune.

I guess they also didn't stop to think that other countries which don't vaccinate to our schedules don't seem to have 'epidemics'....although half a dozen people getting sick at Disneyland constitutes an epidemic of existential proportions to these nit-wits as long as the mainstream media says it is so.

The vaxxers say they are protecting the 'weak' in our society who are not strong enough to be vaccinated (even though vaccines are so safe that it is crazy to question them and there are no 'tests' given to see who can handle them and who cannot.)  I'll tell you who cannot handle the vaccines:  The affluent class who have the money to pay off a private doctor and get a waiver.  It is kind of true, though, that their kids need to be able to perform against other non-damaged affluent kids in ivy-league schools and after that in a professional vocations.  It is unfair to compare them to kids who are going to grow up to a career as a checker at 7-11.

Exactly. I was asked once why I vaccinate my dogs and not myself. Other than most facilities require proof of vaccines, if my dog turns into an idiot it only makes him cute. It doesn't fuck up his entire ability to fend for himself in the future.

I have only told friends and family twice that they should buy. Once in 2010 when the price was $17 and in 2015 when the price dropped to $220.

They ignored me in 2010. One sister bought 1 bitcoin at 220.

She kept spending half of it on trips every time it doubled. She liked how she could spend half and still keep her original investment.

I don't recommend buying bitcoin to anyone but those I care about. For everyone else, if they don't get it they can die off with the rest of the sheep.

Tss...

Well I don't care as long as you people get vaccinated.
For the rest you can chose whatever medicine you prefer.
Go for plants and vitamins and whatever you want. Pray if that's how you want to get treated.

But vaccins shouldn't be an option. It's a public duty. You either get vaccinated or stop going to school and public places.

And this is why we try to educate people.

Today's opinions are so easily backed by the force of guns.
2937  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 14, 2017, 08:46:50 PM
Been off the 'net a few days. Pulled up bitcoinity thinking $1600? $1400? Then I see $1788 and think all is right with the world.

I also found out that in Tahiti, today is yesterday. Had to book a room in a hostel for a night. No Internet. No A/C. Extra day though 😃

The wool has been pulled over everyone's eyes.

If your doctor gives you a drug that does not cure you, he is admitting that he is incompetent.
Or that he made a mistake which can happen to anyone. But most doctors give you drugs to cure you... At least in my country xD

In the US doctors are just legal drug dealers. One of the biggest drugs pushed is Oxycontin which doesn't cure anything. It just gets you addicted.

People also take medicine for every little thing. Medicine that does not cure what ails them. Only covers up the symptoms.

Big pharma has taken over the world.

I sold some bitcoins.

And by "sold" I mean, I booked a trip to Tahiti. With bitcoins.

I'm picturing a monorail and a briefcase full of cash. Simpsons fan?

lol...nice
