And I am not trying to sell anything, so I don't care about selling points. I am trying to fix the world.
If you're trying to change the world, you should care about selling points. Before anything ever happens, large amounts of stuff need to get involved -- people, money, power -- ideally all of the above. That's why people-who-matter, throughout history, always excelled at selling their vision. No matter how great your plans & ideas are, they're nothing if you can't sell them.Case in point: Imagine leading a revolution when half of the people think you're an idiot, and the other, the kinder half, think cheap dope is to blame. You imagining? How is it working out, have we ironed out the lumpenproletariat wrinkle yet? On a different note, i'll make a guess as to why you have so many people heckling you: It's kind'a like this: http://s20.postimg.org/706tftt19/cows_moon_larson.gifIt's not that rocketry is ridiculous, or that wanting to get to the moon is patently absurd. It's just the way you go about it that makes you so custom-crafted for ridicule & lulz. TL;DR: Shut down the lulz factory. |

All of your posts are funny, and they seem 'trollish'. Some of the biggest Tzars, Presidents, and Dictators had to take criticism. Most of them have been successful, or overpowered. Yet you're trying to make a town, with none? Nor opinion? Rather funny, because it's like you're trying to take away our rights before we even start thinking about it. You're trying to start +twelve projects, and guess what? Trying to buy land with two million. Let's calculate just the diner. Diner: Fries, burgers, burritos, tables, chairs, etc. Let's say that's over two million. (Unless you're going to buy all the stuff from a Dollar Store.) --WI-FI:  ---Electricity: Let's say nine hundred dollars, even though it might be more or less. Yes. How exactly will you get money for that? I support DevCoins, but you'd need probably a billion. |

I don't think you'll ever accomplish that without first taking criticism. I would take criticism if anyone here would inform themselves about what is going on before criticizing. |

Who needs actual planing, carefully selected goals and listening to other people pointing out the glaring flaws in your plans when you have memes?

I personally love the idea of bitcoin town..
..But, would YOU be happy living in a Utopian secular village, based on technology sourced from a complex ancient society?

Is anyone planning to move to New Mexico? Taos comes to mind where a whole clan of like-minded freedom lovers reside off-the-grid, yet one'll be hard-pressed to even get a handful of them folks to embrace Bitcoin--and they're tech-savvy. |

I had a vision for an anarcho-capitalist free city state which I suppose is somewhat similar to this bitcoin town thingy, but I wouldn't start it anywhere inside of US territory. My idea was to found it somewhere in the world that had a weak or non-existant government. My favourite spot would be the western sahara. The only government to have a claim on it is Morocco but no one else recognises their claim least of all the locals. It is one of the most sparsely populated places on earth so there is lots of land up for grabs. It is just desert with no natural resources except sunlight and sand but then so is dubai...

It would be pretty difficult to build a town in the middle of a desert. |
