gathering a group of Bitcoiners in one location
How would you get the first few people to move their businesses and families?
This is a chicken and an egg problem. The attraction is a circular economy, yet no circular economy exists yet, so how do you get enough people to move to your ghost town/building such that a circular economy can form?
afaict convincing random bitcoiners to relocate their families and businesses won't be much easier than convincing random strangers to adopt bitcoin. Both are hard because they suffer from a chicken and egg problem.
In practice, to overcome this chicken and egg problem, forming communities/movements usually requires tons of sacrifice on the part of people forming them or the presence of some other asymmetric value coincident with the community/movement.
A project like this could take many forms—it might be a brand‑new town, an RV campground, or another type of community. I think it would be far easier to create such a place by gathering a group of Bitcoiners in one location and making Bitcoin the mandatory medium of exchange, rather than trying to convince random strangers to adopt it.
