That is the old idealistic image for a Phase 3 seastead in middle of the ocean.
The initial seastead that will actually be built will look more like this:

My last day of work was Friday, I am officially "retired" (from working for a salary). I will be in Tahiti next month and plan on moving there in early 2018 to help get the seastead project off the ground.

Well, I can't compete with that..I am thinking of end of this year I will retire....(with crypto will work great...w/o crypto still OK) as such I can (w/o crypto) live in the fabulous
lifestyle of 35k I have in the past...whee......
with crypto maybe a 75K a year lifestyle is possible
however, I'm like an old farmer with millions in land that he never sells...just putters on the farm still....wtf am I gonna do if I retire? (or gasp ...touch crypto!!!! the horror!) so not sure yet...end of this year
or
March of 2018 when I turn 63. (This retire is w/o taking soc security which I could stall on till I'm 66 yrs and 3 months)
yeh...options ..pull the trigger or not...options.....
edit: to clarify living off mining last 5 months...all the job income goes into 401k/health insurance/H.S.A/extra into w-4/etc.....after all that is set aside tax free I get $24.11 every 2
weeks....so only working 3 days a week on the job now (11hr shifts ....3 days a week...still considered full time for above benifits..have 4 days off a week in a row)
so anyway, semi-retired.....anyway....but yeah again when to pull the trigger complete is the question
