A variety of considerations held him back. “The wife,” as he put it, had her doubts. He wasn’t sure about the “ginormous leap down in luxury” from living in deep residential comfort on land in the US midwest to living in a very small cabin on board a 30-year-old cruise ship. He was worried, too, by the limited facilities – “No kitchen of my own? Tiny bathrooms? Tiny everything?”
“Democracy,” the two men wrote, “would be upgraded to a system whereby the smallest minorities, including the individual, could vote with their houses.”
holy mother of god there is some wild shit in here
"Elwartowski and his girlfriend, Nadia Summergirl"
fuckin what lmao
"“We had a kind of funny idea,” Olthuis told me. In his scheme, the Satoshi would connect, via two looping tunnels on the water, to human-made floating platforms designated for agriculture, manufacturing and parkland. From the air, the whole community would form the shape of the bitcoin B."
lmfao i cant stop coming back here and putting in these insane statements
What 0 awareness of what material conditions are does to a mf. I mean the amount of privilege one must have to come to this conclusion is wild. Houses are hard to come by for minorities and the poor now unless you’re gonna subsidize them in your libertarian paradise (lol) how are they gonna get these unproven expensive new interlocking floating house pods?
Also they decouple from the city and then what? Unless we also have Star Trek food replicators on this libertarian ocean city they’re just gonna go off in the wilderness? Or go to a “competing” floating city state, i mean “firm”? “If you don’t like it, get out” isn’t gonna help the marginalized if the people running all these things, tech bros most likely, still have biases against them.
Ah freedom
Now this is pod-dwelling
No you dont understand we are going to hook up to the cruise ship and do some uh farming or something and it will all be in the shape of the bitcoin logo!!! its like building dubai but on a boat!
All you need to read about how fucking insane their worldview is, is the paragraph where some dude is talking about his retired life, working 5 hours a month on a houseboat in Canada and i quote "Enraptured by his lifestyle, Romundt wondered why everyone wasn’t living this way".
wow geez dude i wonder?!?!?!
They're not and that's the point?
This is democracy for land owning white males with some off the rough edges sanded off, i.e., libertarianism
"Nadia summergirl" i had to read this like four times to make sure I wasn't having a stroke wtf
my girlfriend nadia summergirl is very cool, very pretty. she goes to another school tho
This thread reminded me of some shit i saw a couple years ago.

:jesus-christ:
I'm pretty sure there is a picture of this very structure in the article lol
Felix is really phoning it in for his turn at the Lathe.
At least this idiot's logic is consistent with Libertarianism (property above all)
I mean they just doing an america again except this time its with your floating dogshit houseboat instead of land lol
Even the regressive US had voting permitted for pretty much all white men by the end of the 1820's, but you're not wrong lol
what are these names?
Another proof we're living in some sort of deranged fever dream.
