Bitcoin Town: Let's Make the Future Come to us

[Elwar]

Wow...for no government you sure do have a long laundry list of things you want the community to do.

Maybe it is better for you to start it outside of New Hampshire.

The whole key to successes of the Free State (they have a long way to go) is the idea of having libertarians spread around the country trying to have any political influence has time and time again failed. By focussing on one state they are able to go from being spread out to having more power coming together in one place.

There have been countless efforts at free towns, free counties, etc...all failed. It is usually started by someone who wants other liberty thinkers to come to their town because they need help fighting off all of the statists. That is the case in all parts of the country. Your situation is not unique.

New Mexico is nice and all but they are fairly statist themselves. Gary Johnson made some big improvements there but their Democrat governor worked on undoing most of his accomplishments. Even in a free town, you would have to put up with state laws and federal laws. At least in New Hampshire there is already an effort to hold back the growing force of the state laws. And nullify as many federal laws as possible (national ID card, seatbelt laws, etc.).

If large tracts of cheap land is what you are after, a group tried to create a free town in west Texas after the 2008 election. http://paulville.org/  They purchased the land and I believe set up septic and electric lines. There was a free county project that was tried in Colorado and the attempt to buy the Belle Isle island from Detroit http://www.commonwealthofbelleisle.com/

Never said no government. I said no taxas, the government will be a service.

I honestly don't think I believe in family. It's a silly concept. No matter their DNA or familiarity, someone can always be out to destroy you or harmful to mankind.

And the award for least related post goes to....

This is one of the many, many ideas that I've discussed with people over the last month or so since I learned about BitCoin. It's entirely possible but it would require backing by a billionaire. Don't look to them for help with BitCoin unless they are made of it. This is coming to your town soon!

It wouldn't need backing by a billionaire, just 200X $10,000-aires

The discussion only just started

And I haven't proven myself yet, over the next few months people will see that I truly am community oriented though. I am just poor right now, but I get paid in June

I am only 17 years old but my gosh I would love to be a part of this! I saw lets do it!

Do you want a town where people will be free or a town where people will conform to what you want?

Respect the education of any (respectful) community member that has/does serve(d) in the armed forces, politics, law or government.

What does "respect the education of" mean?

I've always fantasied about doing something like this, I literally have days of research on a notepad, let me go grab it and I'll share my ideas, from what I remember I think some land in new mexico is like 350 an acre!

If you don't have any ways to earn Bitcoins to pitch in, start writing for http://Devtome.com and you can earn money just for writing or taking pictures.

Please tell other people about this town project as well.

Ok well from my numbers (1 1/2 years old) your right new mexico is the cheapest! one problem, many drug smuglers use new mexico vast land to hid drugs and guns so first thing would be how would we protect our citizens?

We would of course suggest that citizens have guns, and put together some form of volunteer police force. Or at least have a core "posse" to start larger posses when we need to go after murderers, rapists and burglars.

great thinking, next biggest concern we need to make sure the land we buy is together, many times large land sells aren't together! I'm checking solar maps now. Also no fiber runs out there so huge cost for internet lines to be run for us

There are at least 2x 1200 acre ranches, so that is 4 chances that I know of to get 600 acres. So at least 1 of them should be there in a year

[ThePanCakeKid95]

I found one that is 6400 acres! at 350 acre, devide that up smaller anyone can buy

[ThePanCakeKid95]

Ok, so thats 350/acre right? now think this I live on .344 with my family and its plenty big enough! so thats only 116/.344 acre and if we got great schools and such we could really bring people in

[FinShaggy]

So we should be fine

And if we have 600 acres for 200 people/families, that's 3 acres per person
