Ocean Builders is set to launch the world's first Crypto Cruise Ship named aptly as 'SATOSHI' for passionate crypto entrepreneurs to live and work in a crypto friendly environment. All on board businesses will accept bitcoin, US dollars, and other forms of payment.
MS Satoshi will provide a business focused environment where crypto entrepreneurs can relocate existing business, set up a new global head office, or start a new business with the support of an environment of like-minded entrepreneurs.
Chad Elwartowski, COO of Ocean Builders, says, "We look forward to creating a hub for technology and innovation here in Panama. Our goal is to figure out how to live sustainably on the sea and chart new waters in this new frontier."
MS Satoshi is welcoming everyone from digital nomads, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, expats, researchers, and entrepreneurs to Youtube influencers, startup teams, and established businesses to the office space available on board.
The Crypto Cruise Ship is being prepared to set sail from the Mediterranean and anchor in the Gulf of Panama. The 804 foot, 777 cabin ship, with a capacity of 2020 people plus crew and crew quarters, will be anchored a 30-minute ferry ride away from International hub, Panama City in the calm waters of the Gulf of Panama.
The cruise ship will also have all other facilities such as multiple restaurants, a theatre, casino, gym and wellness areas. The ship will be used for residency, tourism, research, and office space. It will also provide an incubator environment for entrepreneurs. Residents will pay an ongoing fee for the upkeep of the ship and amenities.
According to Ocean World, this could be the start of a modern floating Venice of the Americas and an important hub of innovation in the world, just like the man-made island of Venice Italy became an important center of commerce in the old world.
Ocean Builders will begin auctioning off the first batch of 200 rooms or cabins on November 5, 2020 to those interested in owning a permanent residence on the ship. Cabins are tentatively priced between $25,000 and $50,000.
The bidding for the rooms will close on November 28, 2020. The winning bids will be announced in the following week, with move in starting in January 2021. Vacation rentals will also be available.
Elwartowski, an American bitcoin entrepreneur, is also pioneering a movement called Seasteading, the concept of creating permanent dwellings at sea outside the territory claimed by government. Ocean Builders is currently building "floating, off-grid SeaPod homes on the Caribbean coast of Panama and they will begin building on the Pacific side as well.
