I wish I could take credit for it but Seasteading has a long history of attempts and near-misses. Mostly resulting in government retaliation. :p

The Seasteading Institute has a series of beginner Q&As you may want to check out here: youtube.com/@seasteading

But very quickly; Storms are very minimal near the equator so most seasteads would anchor in those waters. ONLY international waters would do for this endeavor, or the nearby country will claim your 'land' as their own. (A few years back in Thailand the Thai Navy actually took a seastead as a threat to their sovereignty! Big drama on that story, but that seasteader is here with us, a true bitcoiner & seasteading pioneer) As for seasteading islands, that doesn't work because govts have claimed them all already, even ones just beneath the surface. :(
