The first nation-state conformed by a floating and autonomous island of the world will be completed in 2022 and already began to sell the cryptocurrency destined to promote the project at present. This is a novelty that is seen as a project to take into account whose genesis is in the blockchain-bitcoin technology.

The project, backed by PayPal founder and billionaire Peter Theil, plans to build what can be a maritime city-state that contains 300 homes along with a handful of commercial buildings, including restaurants and hotels, built in the Pacific Ocean near from Tahiti. The project will be a collaboration of two non-profit organizations, The Seasteading Institute and Blue Frontiers.
Varyon, the cryptocurrency designed to finance the project, went on sale today at the investor level. Details about the pre-sale were released by the project;

The construction of the "utopian" island state will begin next year following an agreement signed with French Polynesia in 2017. The design of the colony, which is shaped like a hook, was created to address climate change in the region. As sea levels rise, it will possibly increase to 6 feet in the region, as will the entire superstructure of the island. It is an ingenious idea that needs to be developed so that investors can appreciate the possibilities of investing safely.
Floating nation made up of an island. The latest disruption
Nathalie Mezza-Garcia, a political scientist and researcher at the Floating Island Project, told the Daily Mail the following:
"The residents of the island will be free of fluctuating geopolitical influences and commercial problems" and affirmed that the nation "could take refuge in houses every day and that they can be displaced by climate change".
The concept conceived by Peter Theil is not aimed at creating a tropical getaway or fun but as an alternative to living under the auspices of any of the existing world governments.
The president of the Seasteading Institute, Joe Quirk, reiterated this idea when he said he wanted to see "thousands" of different floating cities by 2050, each of which "offers a diversity of forms of government." As Quirk told the New York Times, "governments simply do not improve, they are stuck in previous centuries." That's because the land encourages a violent monopoly to control it. '
