how do you do Will you hold an event about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies?
I see many people who are still unable to make good use of blockchain technology right now and therefore cannot pay with cryptocurrency.
Hope you can change their minds with these free presentation programs.

The wheels are already in motion.  See this topic here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5182596.msg52386343#msg52386343
 
 
 
"I have been out there scouting for a location in NYC.  The thing I see is that the city is having a real estate crisis with way too many empty retail spaces.  So I see this as a great opportunity for us.  Another thing I have learned is that our idea is just too small... It needs to be bigger and I mean much much bigger if we plan to really get something cool happening.

So I seen this area at East 34th Street, this is near the Empire State Building.  But the idea is that we need the whole street.  I mean the whole damn street needs to be converted into a new theme of crypto and Bitcoin related commerce with specialty store fronts, crypto cafes, the whole shabang.  Not just one store but a whole massive street dedicated to this.

Sure the rents are high.  But we need a whole (Major) street in Manhattan.  We need government and city support not just one or two angel investors because we need to make a street into a whole new concept style of: Crypto District.

There is already a store on East 34th Street for virtual reality.  See: www.vrworldnyc.com   We need to expand or partner with them, or just buy them out.  Our main partners need to be the city government itself with a push to expand the struggling commercial real estate issues into something more feasible that can solve an interesting combonation of concerns while adapting into the future of digital finance.

The kids will love it.
 
East 34th is busy as hell, that was the one thing I don't like about it.  It's not pedestrian friendly.  Maybe we need to keep scouting.   But we need to build New Yorks new Crypto District, not just some internet cafe, we need a whole road built out for this.  New York needs this.  The world needs this."

Listen Buster, in a Free World a person can dream, scheme, and have wild ideas.  At least I am not some Negative Ninny like most of the Bitcoin Talkers who respond to my business plan topics (that is topics, plural, because this is numero tres).

I am a 58 year old guy here among a rather youthful crowd of people that have better computer skills than me, but I have real life business experience, and I have Zeel...  So you can say what you want to say and do what you want to do.

Nursing that hangover
 

Well let me tell you... A clever hawk hides it's claws.

And... Every journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.

I may just have a few surprises up my sleeve?  

Japan and America are countries that legalize cryptocurrency. if in new york like that, your dreams can come true

Again, I totally support OP for his crazy dream--but I don't think this sort of business model could justify renting out that much space in Manhattan.  You're absolutely correct that the rent would be astronomical.  Most people with decent incomes can't even afford to live in NYC as far as I know.  A friend of a friend rented a tiny little apartment in Manhattan about 15 years ago, and the rent was like $1500/month.  I can't even imagine how much it would cost to rent an entire block of buildings.  How would you even get financing for that with this proposal?  I'm trying not to be a "negative ninny" but damn.

And I was thinking about this since I wrote my previous post: isn't New York NOT crypto-friendly?  If I recall correctly, they were one of the first states where exchanges like Coinbase couldn't operate.  I could have the details wrong, but I do remember getting the impression that NY didn't support crypto-based businesses.  Hell, I just learned that residents in my state can't use Binance anymore (nor can New Yorkers for that matter).

"I'm pretty sure there aren't dedicated crypto communites or organizations devoted to such.  Are there?"
Yes this is happening in NYC.  Yes, but it is in infant stages.  I think it is a lot of people arriving on the scene and they can be overly ambitious and controlling but cryptocurrency appears to have an interesting profile of randomness and it is difficult to pin down within the context of old fashion business operations.  So, one person will not lead the show per se because the cryptocurrency environments can reject individual plans.

Something I notice is that females have entered the crypto job arena.  They have great jobs that must pay well, but are they really truly interested in this technology, or is it just their job?

"The rates would be astronomical for an entire street, not high, that's not even close. "
Oh heck yeah it would be astronomical.  But I am an optimist about it.  Plus there are tons of opportunities in NYC.  There are lesser expensive and run down areas, in outer boroughs, that are cheaper and have more room for this.

The thing about it is that crypto is going to be all over the city.  I am seeing a pattern that crypto is not something that can be contained in any one district.  However, housing a bunch of people with crypto jobs, to build a community concentrated like that, like a larger incubator with housing and buildings with their offices.  And food places.  Laundry.  To transform a run down area into a thriving crypto community.  Now that is more like it.  It still has possibilities.

"Do you honestly think the government is going to pump money into your plan just because kids might love it?"
NYC government is massive and it operates unlike any other city in the world.  I think the NYC government would be the #1 biggest supporter for this type of vision we are drafting up.  They would support the living Hell outta this sort of concept.  They already are I think.

"This is quite hard to implement in New York."
Man, Everything is hard in NY.  It is that way for me at least.  It may not be the largest city in the world but we are really massive with a mix of everybody and everything.  The amount of red tape in NYC, well it's weighty.  But crypto is here already.  It has already started.  There are hundreds of crypto related businesses here already.  Oh and how about Wall Street.  And the New York Stock Exchange.  This is still the world centerpiece of finance however you want to cut it.

It is probable that NYC is already the crypto capital of the world, and I am not just saying that.  The city has already recognized the importance of taking the lead on the race to digital assets and "blockchain".  It's important to NYC.

"Most people with decent incomes can't even afford to live in NYC as far as I know. "
Yeah that is definitely the most common way of looking at NYC rents. But think of it this way: there are also people here who have so much money and so much property that they do not know what to do with it all.  There are still plenty of vacant lots in outer boroughs.

There are people who get gifted whole portfolios of buildings for nothings day.  It seriously happens.  There is magic to money.  I mean look back at Walt Disney.  He built a fucking cartoon castle in a remote and uninhabitable swamp.  He built the castle before anything else was ready.  That castle was enough to keep the workers interested and believing in his wild vision.  Now look at Florida!

"Hell, I just learned that residents in my state can't use Binance anymore (nor can New Yorkers for that matter)."
The best thing that ever happened to New York was Binance blocking us.  We don't need Binance.  Thank you Binance!  You always sucked!

I thin united state is not allowing for cryptocurrency become legal payment, Trump really hate about bitcoin and altcoin and how come you will have crypto district in New York city.

That is very nice to know. Bitcoin nowadays is an essential tool in our daily lives and portability is always a win situation for consumers using it as a payment processor. Envisioning something like this is also a great step in attracting more investors in Bitcoin.

Oh man... You chose NYC not knowing how the local government will react? You don't have a support of businesses, you don't have your own money, you haven't talked to any of the politicians. You have a great idea but such ideas need support from someone or something already in the early phase. Now you're like a kid who says he'll be an astronaut one day, without knowing if he has the brains and the physics to go through all the tests.
First go and talk to politicians and business owners and ask if some of them would support the project. Why did you choose NYC? It's not the cheapest of places and the Bitlicense sucks.
