World’s First Floating City To Emerge In The Pacific Ocean By 2020

By
ville-flottante5The concept of floating cities may sound like something from a science fiction novel, but it could become a reality by 2020. Seasteading Institute, a San Francisco-based nonprofit has been developing this idea since the foundation of the organization in 2008, and it has reached an agreement with the government of French Polynesia to begin testing in its waters.
“If you could have a floating city, it would essentially be a start-up country,” Joe Quirk, the president of the Seasteading Institute told the New York Times. “We can create a huge diversity of governments for a huge diversity of people.”
The community in question should consist of about a dozen structures, including homes, hotels, offices, and restaurants. Engineers and architects have already visited an undisclosed location where the project should emerge. The main aim of the idea is to “liberate humanity from politicians” and “rewrite the rules that govern society”.
Quirk claimed that building this utopian offshore will cost about $167 million. The Seasteading Institute has already received seed funding from PayPal founder Peter Thiel, however for the next phase of the project the institute hopes to hold an “initial coin offering,” a crowdfunding campaign which raises money by creating and selling virtual currency.

    I think what you posted was actually very reasonable.
    However, what about this? what if you added a little information? I
    ain't suggesting your information is not solid., but suppose you added a title that makes people want more?
    I mean "World�s First Floating City To Emerge In The Pacific Ocean By 2020" is
    a little boring. You should peek at Yahoo's home page and see how they create post
    headlines to get people interested. You might add a related
    video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say.
    Just my opinion, it might bring your blog a little livelier.
