The Bitcoin Economy Needs a Farm

[John193]

If youre going to buy a farm you should use the btc as collateral on a fiat loan rather than selling it.

Why do you write that?

So that you can hedge against the bitcoin price shooting up.

That is a well good point, I think you might be a good selection to coordinate the farm finances. Do you know any banks that would take the BTCs as collateral?
Personally, I would volunteer to work the land.

Kind of..there is a dude on here that sells food for bitcoins. Is this what you mean, my young patawon?

What do you have in mind?

Not sure. Curious what everyone else has in mind. And then how to implement it.

Actually, we should gather ideas, evaluate, form teams around the ones we think we can make succeed, then execute.

Location proposals?

I'm signed up to a local scheme which offers "shares" of the food grown and picked per week (rather than a set amount), where you subscribe for a year and pay monthly. Could anything using Bitcoin work like this - on a small scale, maybe even just on an allotment? Some kind of cross between a pledge of cash (like a bounty pot?) and a local currency?
