Bitcoin A lot of noise is being made about this harmless seastedder and the Thai navy. Allegedly, he was a bitcoin trader. Did he make a lot on bitcoin to buy that "house?" That is a waste of money if so. I hope he did it for attention, just to be a maverick, and not for any practical purpose.
He would have been more free just earning some interest and living a humble minamalist lifestyle. His "escape" was an illusion. He dislikes government that much. This is better for him, beign a fugitive. What do you do once you realize your dream out there alone? You can get that same view with a free screensaver on your computer.
He still has rules. He has to share space with his girlfriend. What happens when you need groceries? Fish get boring. I see he had solar power. What happens when you run out of cleaning supplies? What if you want to read a book? And when other seasteaders hook up, they need a functioning government. Otherwise, I could just go over there and shoot him and take his house for free. That's what taxes are for. Protection money, for one of many things. Obviously, he had no protection as he's being towed as we speak.
Extremists. I wonder if that is a look into the mind of the indians on the North American Continent, many centuries before Columbus. Was his dna, trying to escape govt. which eventually found him anyway and took his land?
Life is a circle. Good government, balance, prevails.
