What’s the plan for cyclones Elwar?

The closer you get to the equator the less typhoons/cyclones/hurricanes.



The island we are looking at is closer to the equator than Tahiti. But the reason such a storm made such news in 2010 is that they hardly ever get those here.

Either way, we are a few hundred meters from the island where people already live. We will do as the other island residents do. Either hunker down or change to another island that isn't being affected by sea level rise.

But the point of building a pilot project in a protected lagoon is to work on the engineering that allows us to build these in the open ocean. Crawl before you can walk/run etc.

Everything we're building now has been built. It's all out of the box and works in the waters off of the Netherlands. We are just putting it in a different location and creating a community in a special economic zone.

Here is some footage I shot on my phone in a protected Vanuatu lagoon in an extinct volcanic cone, with high hills on most sides.

The general recommendation would be to haul your houseboats onto land, as high as possible, then seek shelter on high ground.  If you leave them anchored houseboats will likely just snap the chains, drag the anchor or sink.

The two responses we all get when mentioning seasteading is "what about the waves" and..."pirates".

So ya, we're aware.

That floating platform I spent last Sunday on has been there since before 2010 (when that news article about a cyclone hitting Tahiti came out).

That platform is about 1/4 the size of the platforms we will be building (25m x 25m).

Personally I plan on building an underwater bar. So maybe we can head down to the underwater bar, grab a pint and wait for the whole thing to blow over.

GOOODMORNING GUYS I AM SURE THAT THIS IS A SIGN OF A FUCKING BULLISH BUY MORE OR REGRET SOON.

That Quantitative Researcher's prediction sounds as reliable as Professor Bitcorn's prediction.

What about living costs?

I mean... My (maybe flawed, mind you) logic tells me it would be much more expensive to have the same equivalent "luxuries" we can have on land. Mainly because of logistics expenses and economies of scale. If that is the case, whatever you save on tax you end up spending it anyways (or maybe more).

The underwater bar sounds like an awesome idea.

We are literally manufacturing oceanfront property. The cost per square foot will be less than comparable oceanfront homes (and will only come down over time). Yes, just like people living on these islands pay higher costs for the same luxuries, we likely will as well. Just here in Tahiti I pay higher prices for most things. Except tuna. I pay about $11/kg (about $5 per pound). Needless to say, I eat a lot of tuna steaks and such. Fruit (mangos, bananas, passion fruit, etc.) is also fairly cheap.

Did you see the latest Prof. Bitcorn imitator predicting $43? Where do they find these jokers.

Nice bullish support from ex-alt holders. BTC dominance come back at April level.

One of my best friends is also deep in crypto .... I saw his older brother joining crypto late 2017 , he went to all possible crypto conventions , invested very much of his savings , after 2 months later he was educating my friend: telling which shitcoins to buy and knew everything there is to know , today while eating with my friend he told me again his brother and father lost all of their believes in crypto. They didn’t saw there accounts or any news for over 2 months and are not Going to conventions anymore.... So Many noobs getting closely depressed by over investing .... He didn’t sell his holdings but I think its a Guy with No btc but mostly crap alts.... What to say how to help these Guy’s they don’t mean iT bad but Just want to get rich on a few days, weeks maybe months but we all know iT doesn’t work that way :-)

Same mentality of people that get into multi level marketing schemes. They don't get rich after a few months and then drop it all.

You can't help them.

I make a prediction that it wouldn't fucking matter if they squeezed the ethereum float to the absolute moon, making it worth a billion dollars. It's still a worthless shitcoin asset with no valid use case, that has yet to find any fkn reason to exist other than enabling the trading of a bunch of other worthless shitcoin assets with no valid reason to exist.

It's like the greatest con in the history of worthless cons. Next to Theranos, of course... lol.

Better lost spent or just burned than giving it to a government that will waste half, and use the rest to devise ways of getting more out of you next year.

Alts getting rekt. This will hopefully teach them.  

I might be wrong, but I am still inclined to believe that a lot of alts have a decent chance of coming along for at least one more bitcoin pump period... maybe even act like they are leading the way, once the pump starts?

He’s watching Bitcoin’s 30-day moving average for a clear indication of longer-term trends and said the crowd will return quickly as soon as the price perks up.

 Well, one day we'll laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again.
