I can keep using sites like localbitcoin or paxful right? My concern is what about the bank account? I reckon I can have a bank account while in another country, so once I do encash to my bank account will that create legal problems for me?

You will not create any problem by making bank account in that county.
Before making new bank account in another country, you need so much document to prepare.

You can, but you will need to use several bitcoin preloaded cards like the ones who wirex is offering right now ( i dont know if they ship to the US)

but yes, as long as you have enough crypto you will be able to do it, but why dont you withdraw the money on Usd?

Will I be able to cash out and at the very least support my livelihood if I pursue Master's degree in countries like USA, Germany or Australia? I dont want to do odd jobs, only dedicate my time to studies and maybe trade a little when I need to make cash.

How much savings do you reckon is needed to survive for the 2 year course as a student? Will cashing out and such be problems being a foreigner?

The most affordable option for higher education aka college/university degrees I know of are a new thing called micro degrees offered on sites like these:

https://www.coursera.org
https://www.udacity.com

Micro degrees used to cost around $50 for the certificate. I can't comment on how useful the degrees are in finding a job, I've never undergone the process. I've done some of the free courses for fun and they seem like they're good.

To support yourself trading crypto, you would need to trade in massive sums. And you would need to be perfect. From a statistical perspective, its impossible, here's why. Let's say the average price movement of bitcoin is around 8.6% per day moving from 13000 to 15000 or the opposite. That gives you a maximum potential profit of 8.6% per day without factoring in losses and mistakes which cause you to profit only a fraction of total price movements.

When you do the math and break down the problem, it becomes more difficult. Especially over the long term where consistency is key. Suffice it to say you would probably need $10,000 minimum to trade. Then you would need to profit enough of a percent on that $10k to pay your bills. Of course, there would be some days where you lost money instead of making money.

If you want to get an idea of how much you can make trading, take a small sum like say $20 and see what percentage of that you can profit over a week/month. That will give you an idea of whether its feasible without having to make any long term commitments or risk more than you can afford to lose.

Living in the USA is just horrible for several points. In Germany, you need something like 15000€ per year to live like the average citizen (house, food, insurance, etc) The average cost to live in Australia is so high.. Between this 3 countries, Germany is by far the cheaper.

Once in Germany open a bank account and use Kraken to sell your cryptos and receive the money in your bank account. But be sure with what you do before, otherwise you may end working at McDonald.

It is entirely possible but that depends on how much money you have in crypto and how much you can afford to leave in versus take out. I would reckon you need about 50-100k depending on what region you are going in those countries and yes cashing out may be your hardest problem especially if you live in the USA they are really strict and their tax law just got worse the other day.
