From Paypal to mini-states

Founder of Paypal, and now a hedge fund manager and a member of the Facebook Board of Directors Peter Thiel made the first contribution to the non-profit organization Seasteading Institute , whose main goal is to create offshore utopian states with different state models for testing optimal models for countries of the future. The institute will retool abandoned oil platforms for these same states after determining their business model and searching for individuals interested in this way of life. A good quote from the economist Friedman (grandson of the Nobel laureate Milton Friedman) involved in the project:
States are still projects with high entry barriers. To create such a new project, you need to either win the election or make a revolution. What is prohibitively expensive. At the same time, freedom of choice of clients is not respected. The people are outraged that in the USA they have to wait two years to change the mobile operator under the contract, have you ever tried to change your citizenship to something more optimal?

And below:
Ideally, you can change the government that serves your interests without leaving your home.
