Peter Thiel’s Prediction Comes True: First Live-In “Offshore City” to Anchor in International Waters by 2026
In a move straight out of Peter Thiel’s libertarian playbook, the floating seastead venture “Oceanus Prime” has secured final funding and will anchor in the Pacific Ocean by next year. The self-governing city-state, built on a network of platforms, will operate outside any nation’s tax, labor, or data privacy laws. Critics call it a billionaire’s escape route; advocates hail it as the first test of an entirely new civilization. Thiel, an early investor in seasteading technology, will serve as an honorary “First Citizen,” with the net effect of resetting the global debate on sovereignty and inequality.
