Amazing initiative. Kudos for everything you've done and for what you're planning.

Also, related to topics like minimalism, homesteading and choosing yourself, all so much needed in this day and age.

Also, ties well into what I've been considering - setting up the FREEDOM Network - a personal and financial freedom circle powered by crypto where members all contribute (whether with work, funds, marketing, dev work, etc.) to grow the value of the network with proceeds distributed back to the members. Which will make more sense when it breaks even and starts making money. The ultimate goal is the members' financial freedom.

They can offer any type of services to the public, anything members are willing to offer, from freelancing to consulting, to marketing, etc.

But building a sustainable village for the members takes it a step further. And a step closer to their freedom. The network will have its own token intended to facilitate transactions, both within the network and outside (e.g. the public buying services), make them more liquid, raise funds and increase the value of the project.

And it could be both Steem- and outward-facing, e.g. powered by an Ethereum token.

A concept akin to that of private cities, not unlike https://liberstad.com for instance but with a twist.

Technology is putting power in the hands of everyday people, so now more than ever is possible to break free of the urban corporate shackles and be your own economy, government or institution if that's what you'd like.

The internet has already made remote work possible, so location is not that important as it used to be. And with VR which is forecast to become indistinguishable from real world in the next decade, it wouldn't matter where you are. So, your concept will become even more relevant for freedom fighters and today's city people alike.

It kind of reminded me of Michael Singer (the author of the Untethered Soul and the Surrender Experiment) and his Temple of the Universe. He was only seeking refuge in the forest, a quiet place to meditate. And look what happened.. :)

Please keep moving and keep us posted. I'd love to get involved and let me know if you'd consider bringing non-Steem users onboard. That could also foster Steem adoption, so it's a win-win.
