If you go under "Unreal Estate", they're selling NFT's of the gigaturtle's various accommodations, and say they plan to expand into the metaverse (there's a countdown timer to release!), where they'll do more of the same. The NFT's (of which it doesn't look like many have sold) will fund Meta development, and the El Dorado that is Meta will open the floodgates and generate enough dough to start actual planning...
It's a freakin' gigaturtle folks! There are reasons why real ships don't look like this. Ever. It's exceedingly unlikely that the makers of this site are serious about anything other than selling NFT's and maybe testing the waters with Meta.
- CaptainZapp 4y agoThe monstrosity is a libertarian fever dream. Live on the seas, be unconcerned about regulations and best of all: no taxes! Well, I'm really not sure how well this works out considering that the sea is one of the most regulated entities on the globe. For a sobering read I recommend this article about the Satoshi.

There have been many attempts at things like this in the past and they tend to go nowhere unless backed by very wealthy and powerful people. For reference, this claims it needs a projected 8 billion in funding, which is around the total estimated size of the nft market.

I highly doubt they can build anything. The 8 billion needed to build a monstrosity like that seems possible, but doing it in 8 years? I don't thinks so. There are way too many technical challenges to solve and there is no shipyard in the world which could construct it in one piece. Making it modular, would be possible, but not in this time frame. And the design for the ship is terrible, no maritime engineer would sign that off.

- DonHopkins 4y agoIt's like a modern day floating pyramid scheme. Think of all the poor immigrants it will keep ungainfully enslaved building and running it!
