The disastrous voyage of Satoshi, the world’s first cryptocurrency cruise ship

The long read: Last year, three cryptocurrency enthusiasts bought a cruise ship. They named it the Satoshi, and dreamed of starting a floati

the Guardian

babe wake up a new disaster in applied libertarianism just dropped

it is already KNOWN that cryptobros are goons and always up to clownery but this is truly the FUNNIEST example i’ve seen in a long time

please take the time to at least skim the story
3 guys buying a yacht,
planning to make it into a floating town where you can only spend cryptocurrency while in the freedom of the ocean,
immediately discover that maritime laws exist,
end up blowing all their money to be three guys and a crew of 40 on an empty ship they are unable to sell for scrap,
one guy spends christmas alone on a waterslide…….. it’s incredible

like i do not feel remotely bad for them, literally any amount of research would have revealed their plan as unfeasible, they CHOSE to waste their money like this

The rooms:

Did not allow pets over 20lbs and would not allow barking for over 10 minutes (or else the pet couldn’t live on the boat anymore)

Only had a mini fridge with no microwave (the only food on the ship would be from a restaurant)

Cost $560/month for a small, windowless interior room

And the “seastead” was supposed to be in the shape of the Bitcoin sign

absolutely hysterical that a bunch of libertarians thought a cruise ship was the way to escape regulation

Okay, so Friedman started yammering on about libertarian seatopias in 2010, three years after Bioshock. You cannot convince me this is a coincidence.

Cryptocoin, cruise ships, and libertarians are like three things that are all constantly dangling by a single frayed thread over total disaster and they put all three together.

@fugicross​ I feel you would enjoy this.

The notes of this post are full of references to a town overrun with bears and I NEED someone to fill me in on that

How a New Hampshire libertarian utopia was foiled by bears

Seriously, this happened. You should absolutely read about it.

Vox

I absolutely cried laughing reading about this. I have the book on order.

Yeah I’d get on a boat run by this guy

Oh my. Don’t get me wrong, A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear is a highly entertaining cautionary tale, but this…. is next level. This is like buying a condo at Fyre Fest, but dumber.

Understand that you were not allowed a microwave, but you were allowed to set up a cryptomining rig.

Eagerly getting into the submersible industry, that’s the point there right?

I’m being informed that in light of recent events this is no longer true
