A seastead is BUSINESS, it is CLUSTER, and it is NETWORK.

- If there is no business to do, there is no base for a town, no base for a settlement, no point to have a "permanent dwelling" of any kind.
- No town on earth is just doing one thing it is always a "cluster of things" towns and settlements are doing.
- Venice was a network of marine merchants owning 3600 ships.

How doing clusters of things changes business dynamics:

Due to its connection to ships mobility and oceanic trade a seastead (equally as Venice) has a natural business in banking - speak internet banking, bitcoin, offshore solutions.

A seastead is by nature a power broker (like Venice) commited to the core value of freedom:

The closest thing to a seastead we have now is a Port with floating wharf installations...

being HUB and PORT implies avoiding extremes and pitfalls:


The idea of running a seastead as a port and a hub for a large number of businesses implicates that a seastead can NOT do the following things:

- it can not be run by a "sectarian closed society" it needs to be open and metropolitan for business reasons.
- it can not be formed from lego style special elements that do not allow normal ships to dock.
- can not be a DEFIANCE place that poses a "threat" or a "thorn in the eye" to members of global trade networks.
- i can not be exclusive, it can not be extreme, it can not be "center of war against" anything.
- It needs to come along well with EVERYBODY to comply its function as a international HUB.
- like Venice it needs to be hub for goods, ideas, cultures, and a place that is free of "walls against" and witch hunts.
- its politics needs to be based in "broker conflicting interests" instead of being a strong proponent of one side.
- this means any ideas of establishing "weired special societies" or the reign of "strange rules" need to be "taken with caution" because they hurt business and shu investors and clients.

It needs to be a place where free investors and business want to opt in instead of opt out.

Taxing as form of getting funds needs to be taken with caution, rather a model that brings in funds by offering paid services to the trade and shipping community is recommended.

(cargo storage, load consolidation, space and crane rental, transshipment services, inspection services, arbitrage services, etc. etc.)

As Galen once said "the venom is in the dose" - a seastead as hub on oceanic trade routes in multicultural peacefull ambient can only work well, and stay in business, if the interaction of people on it stays in equilibrium.

To be HUB, CLUSTER, PORT, BUSINESS and NETWORK, the ingredients above are necessary and a cut down on toxic ingredients is also necessary - those ingredients toxic for the development of a hub are: "sectarian", "extreme", "dividing", "politics", "religion", "special interest", "social struggle", "discussion about everyting", "dividing actions", "branding instead of open source", "hippie talk", "military talk", "militant behavior of any kind", "exclusion", "preference", "taxation", "policing", "subduing" and other "toxic and problematic components" of human interaction. That shu business and investment away and disturbe freedom, trade and development.

In many ways a seastead is like any business - if you are in charge of the business climate of a company you do not want a militant religious fanatic spread word of his god, you do not want union talk in your offices, you do not want people dressed like a punk run around... you want everybody to behave nice and be a good neighbor.
