Squatters with no skills and trouble makers will be made soylent green, two way tickets is not needed.
Shhhhh... We are not supposed to talk about that plan in public. Two way tickets are a kinder, gentler solution.

Growing seems the better way. Only natural products only hardcore

Aquaponics will solve all our agri issues, I will be on the island advisory board of agriculture and help set this up.

Unfortunately we will have to import most of our food, probably with the exception of fish and other aqua-products. Even if we divert 1/3rd of the land for agriculture (~800 acres, and I don't think that much will be available for farming), it will only produce less than 3,000 tonnes of cereals. Not enough to feed tens of thousands of people.

Not enough to feed tens of thousands of people. Hong Kong, a major Asian economy, imports food to the tune of almost 4.4 per cent of its GDP.
We will be fine if we have a strong economy. Also we don't need to plan food for a lot of people for starters.

That is also the case. The population will only slowly increase. Don't know how many of the shareholders will actually move in to the island. This could be the solution for the lack of space. We can make a floating Aquaponics.
Staple crops such as cereals cannot be grown efficiently using Aquaponics. But it is an option which can be explored.

Depending on imports for your food supply is generally a bad plan. Soon as you piss off the wrong people, you could get blockaded or sanctioned or whatever... a few days without food and your whole population is liable to turn on you.
Who the fuck eats cereal? Was that a joke? Yeah I don't think anyone wants to move to a bitcoin island to eat basic grain products. You better plan on being able to delivery luxury.

Staple crops such as cereals cannot be grown efficiently using Aquaponics. But it is an option which can be explored. There are 400 or more types of plants, fruits and vegetables that can be grown in a high quality aquaponics system. A large number of them are highly nutrious such as tomatoes, lettuce, bananas, etc We can also nurture a variety of fish that we can eat from although we can simply fish our own fish from the ocean In terms of meat, we can use plants grown on aquaponics to feed animals or we can import our meat to start with. In terms of cereals yes it's limited we can always import those or find other solutions or adjust our diet accordingly. What's more important is we can sustain ourselves 100% with just aquaponics, fish (farmed or wild) and limited animals. The rest can be imported, There is so much potential in this field for Bitcoin island sustainability. Aquaponics can also be used to create our own biofuels, just see where this can go. As for drinking water, we can use desalination powered by solar energy, that solves part of the problem but the cost of desal is still high.

You do realize that quite a lot of countries don't even have enough of those basic products? Order your luxury items over ebay and amazon (not food of course).

Aquaponics will solve all our agri issues, I will be on the island advisory board of agriculture and help set this up. It’s a very good idea it will solve the basic food need. We code build floating concert platforms to grow on, it would take up less space and it’s cheaper to build than building more land and it we can move them around. We will not be able to grow all the luxury food when it takes up to much land but I think we can cover the basic food need, so in case of an emergency we will not starve to death. Also I think we will have an ideal place to grow fish. We can have cages underneath the concrete platform to use for growing fish in the salt water.

We could also have a few growing house(s), a few high-rises of glass in which we have strong lights, soil and water. With enough light we could grow staple food in there. As long as we produce our own energy on the island, the electricity needed would not cost us anything. The top floors could be a green house, and would not need any artificial lights either. That could be an option to grow some stuff on the island anyway.

Nice ide If we build a island for scratch we should be able to create one or more artificial points were the underwater current will be strong that will be the place for our main power supply, it will be endless free green electricity.

Hmmm.. so I think that we can be self-sufficient on almost all food materials, with the exception of cereals. And regarding the drinking water, we will either decide to go for salt-water desalination or rain water harvesting.
