 Without doubt, ownership of land is crucial to any citadel concept, in spite of how flimsy property rights may have proven to be in certain places

Also I like the idea of making the screening more difficult. An investment group is a good start 

@Brisket was very insightful talking about this in relation to a property in Australia, in particular to the opportunity cost of land vs more BTC

So a group willing to forgo BTC to buy land lowers the risk for each investor in a sense 

Plus yes, the idea of trading directly between specialised operations makes lots of sense 

Love to hear more about how you get on

👏 
 My opportunity cost for every decision is denominated in sats now. I suspect that many of the "investors" I'd be calling on are similar & would feel that the cost in sats is too great right now. 

I expect that in the next 18-24 months, this will change.

I see a world with many citadels dotted around where people are able to elevate their optionality. This is the meshtadel concept. 
 The “meshtadel”

Love that phrase. First time I’ve heard it 👏👏 
 It's not new & I certainly didn't coin the phrase although I did use it in the citadel presentation 3 years ago. 

Weren't you paying attention? 🤣 
 Haha. Clearly no close enough!

I guess I was just trying to process how this legend of a bearded man was teaching me to wake the f**k up & start building a defensive housing & food setup

Love that phrase. First time I’ve heard it 👏👏 👏

And yes I totally agree that in a not too distant future, Bitcoiners might well want to re-allocate into alternative hard assets (eg land)
