So I was thinking about what to do when I "make" it. In a few years I'll have more than enough to buy an island in the south pacific, make it comfy, buy a servant family to maintain the island and everything. They're surprisingly cheap, the one I found is only about $450,000 for ~20 acres.

What does /biz/ think of this plan?

pic related is the island I found

Good luck with no infrastructure, dealing with and hostile wildlife, insect colonies and a lack of internet or a decent docking port.

Buying an island is a poor mans badly thought out dream. In reality it's shit

This is my dream too. You should sign up for privateislands.com magazine and check out what they've got for sale near Canada maybe. You have any plans for self sustainability? Off the grid, farming etc? I'm thinking of starting an off shore shrimp farm too. Proper eatin shrimps

Building infrastructure and taming the wilds would be a lovely postscript to success with shitcoins. Land anywhere would be awesome. Bees chickens cows and lab grown meats not to mention brewing beer and distilling spirits and making cheese. Fucking awesome.

>A servant family that's black right?
any race is fine, it would actually be nicer to not have a servant family actually. More peaceful and serene if I'm there by myself.

>>9335697
Thanks for the heads up anon. As for the wildlife aspect, it's only 20 acres so there won't be anything large, and as for the insect colonies, there isn't much vegetation so that won't be a huge problem - no more so than living somewhere like Australia.
>lack of internet
I'd have satellite internet, which offers better service than most cable ISPs in the world, so that's not a problem.
>decent docking port
Buying a boat for transportation and building a docking port would be the priority. Wouldn't be hard to build one even by myself with wood.

>>9335698
>to build a house and everything it needs on an island is crazy expensive, fuck the ilsand price
Won't be a problem, I'll have plenty left over to build a comfy wooden house.

>>9335736
>near Canada
I prefer the idea of south pacific. Nice weather, blue skies, clear blue water, isolated, tropical.

>You have any plans for self sustainability
I'll set up enough solar panels for energy (won't need much, just for lighting and charging electronics), if it's possible I'll look into buying a desalination machine for water. I'm a fish-eating vegetarian so I'll probably set aside part of the island to growing crops - won't need much for that since animals require a load more space and I'll try learning how to fish efficiently (i.e. not having to sit for hours with a rod to catch something).

Shrimp farming sounds awesome too.

I didn't even say it was man-made, just that it is happening. Even Exxon knows it's happening. Ppm of co2 has been rising dramatically. Sea levels are rising dramatically. You're going to argue that's not happening? Just a Jewish conspiracy? If we cant trust a consensus from people who's job it is to research this shit, who do we trust? Conspiracy forums and Alex Jones? Genuinely curious, cure me of my ignorance please.

No one's saying it's a Jewish conspiracy or to trust Alex Jones. As someone with a background in Geology, I've read more than far msot people regarding this topic and I'm not convinced in the slightest. You can keep spreading this shit about how the scientists all support this, but it's complete garbage. If you've ever even set foot in a university geology department you'd know it's not as simple as "hurr durr everyone agrees with global warming".

So again, please fuck off back to r*ddit and go be a know-it-all faggot there.
