Topic: Is there a place in the world you could live like a king via sig campaigns? - page 17. (Read 7698 times)

In our country that's a huge amount of income already, however, it still depends on your lifestyle because normally people live based on what they earn and

I think $6000 a month is not enough if you live a lavish life. If we talk about being a King, then we should assume that we can do everything we want in life, the life of a rich to be exact, but if you live like the standard of the minimum wage earner in our country which is like $300 a month, then you will certainly enjoy and not only enjoy but you can always have good life savings.

It is just good to consider what would happen if you actually tried this and I agree, it’s definitely a great thing. I mean if you have a legendary account and you are earning like 400 bucks a month then you are going to be able to "survive" in so many nations, like literally dozens. Of course, there are no nations where you can live like a king via sig campaigns, maybe like Venezuela, or something like Zimbabwe, but who would want to live there.

This is why it is possible to only survive but just to consider that, like cutting all of your extra costs and then making sure that you could live with signature money is a great fantasy to have, none of us do it, but would be great.

That is an important point to take note: we don't know how long campaigns are going to last, therefore they don't offer financial stability like a formal job we could have access in our countries. Taking this into consideration, I would suggest people to not live as a king (even if they could), because this way they will be "wasting" money that is useful for investing in the present moment, in order to prepare themselves financially for the future, for times when signature campaigns might not be disponible anymore. Adding this to the potential appreciation in BTC price that must happen anytime soon, people can build a very decent income in some years.

That is correct - $ 1500 is a decent money in money country to have an average life. Not to mark it as living like a king.
But yes - you can live like an middle class person in a decent apartment and can have good food on the table.

$1500 a week should be enough in most Southeast Asian countries (aside from Singapore of course). For example in my country $1500 is already around half of the annual minimum wage. It of course depends on where you plan to settle.

Urban areas tend to be expensive and there are locations where you could spend all that money in less than a week. Some people suggest just living in rural areas but if you can find some place decent in the city, I'd suggest that, mostly because healthcare in the rural areas tend to be lacking. Don't wanna get stuck in there in an emergency.

I've seen lots of entries in the Philippines in here. Yes, cost of living is very low, but if you want to maximize what you earn AND spend, I'd definitely stay away from city proper and live near beaches, preferably on Palawan or somewhere in La Union. If the average signature campaign pays about $70 a week, believe me, you can still get a decent, 1-bedroom house on these parts and still have plenty for groceries, utilities, and some beer money.

I did try it once, though with $400 a month just from signature campaigns. I managed to pull through and still have $50 to spare. I lived in Pangasinan (close proximity to La Union) and enjoyed my stay without getting hungry or even feeling like my budget of $400 will be out before I finish the month.

A country like Nigeria you’ll definitely live like a king. A country where the minimum wage currently $55~₦33,000. Getting a pay of $1500 weekly ~ ₦900,000, you’re already a made person and you won’t be seen as an average person again. With that money one can stay in the nations state capital Abuja, one of  the fastest growing city in Africa and live the best life he can ever imagine and cater for the needs of his family to the fullest also.
With this amount you’ll live a comfortable life in Nigeria for several years to come as the Naira rate to dollar keeps increasing, currently at $1~₦600.

As far as im aware, there are some long term campaigns like Crypto.games,Betcoin.ag which is mostly on gambling field or industry.Pay might not be the same compared to Chipmixer

but they had been running for for a while but just like as i have said earlier that it isnt really good on putting your life dependent on it because campaigns doesnt last forever

but it would be lucky of you if you had able to join for possible long time running which would really be helpful in some way.It might be big for some or small.

Surely, "living like a king" has a bit of a management of money side to it... because surely anyone who lives within their means and has the option to not work based on income that they have coming in or to work minimally and still have all of their needs of life met, then could be considered as "living like a king" even though objectively, persons who are living within their means might well be earning/spending way less than other people who are forced to work to service both their ongoing debts and the lifestyle that they chose to live.

Whether a signature campaign or some other kind of minimal effort kind of "employment" that brings in a cashflow would be considered as choosing the kind of work or minimizing the kind of work or sufficiently satisfying/fulfilling may well be within the eyes of the beholder.

The whole assessment of the matter of whether a person happens to be "living within their means" and sufficiently free from either debt bondage or their own chosen lifestyle remains somewhat subjective, too.. because some people may well proclaim that they are completely happy in their having to work 40-80 hours a week because they love the kind of work that they do and they get a sense of self-fulfillment from their work.  At some point, there might be some acknowledgement of lack of fulfillment or burnout could kick in, and then at that point, there might be some acknowledgement that reduction of debt could end up providing more freedoms... yet I had already argued that some value can also come from earning a relatively high income job (even if you do not like it) to build up an investment portfolio nestegg that would thereafter allow one to live off of that built-up investment nestegg without having to do any further work - besides merely managing the cashflow and investments within that portfolio - which could end up being a not very high impact/stress kind of work... the 4-hour week? hahaha...


I doubt that it is very helpful to have a "guess the country" contest.

In my country - every foreigner is a celebrity because there is less tourism and we feel happy seeing a foreigner around.
My country is famous for fertile land, 4 season, amazing Fruits and food and what not. But the media has projected the bad image of my country - if you can guess which country I am talking about!

why not? are you saying there's no way one can make a good leaving from his earnings from a signature campaign? or mabe probably you got such experience whereby you're unable to make effective utilization to your campaign earnings, well i think maybe you need to start with the read of this thread right from page one and see varieties of discussions that could help you understand why making a savings to live like a king is very important from the signature campaign you are, and it is also important for one to realised the potential in management, how you could make good and effective use of your finances, budgets and plans, how to position yourself amidst bad economy situations, how to live like a king even when others are struggling, and how to set good priority for a sustainable living standard.


That may not says it all, but living like a king could also mean living a purposeful life that works with desired dreams being achieved, if a person does not know how to manage resources that no matter how much you vested on such individuals will resulted being squandered, you can have little and yet live like a king when you position yourself to appropriate planning and investing with the little you have for a multiplication thereafter, i have seen alot of rich people who earn zero respect and dignity because of thier inability to manage wealth and yet they live unfulfilled because they are never satisfied, they work less and expect much which is impossible. therefore for you to leave like a king requires your commitment to managing and maximizing the little you have into a big and desired thing you sought for.

I doubt that you are attempting to work with the actual hypothetical Zlantann.

If you change too many of the variables, then you are creating a new hypothetical.

Showing that you can blow a lot of money in a night in any of the major cities of the world (even the less prosperous and less expensive cities) surely would not be representative of just being able to live relatively well in some house with 4 other guys (even though surely I don't consider living with others to be very preferable - because of the realities of getting others to pay their fair share and then coordinating with them in a variety of ways in terms of a variety of lifestyle preferences.

Sure we likely are not going to be able to get all of the details correct, and we do have to infer some matters from the hypothetical including that the reality of the matter would be that no one is going to live like a literal king for $300 per week - even under the circumstances of sharing a palace with 4 other guys, but you still attempt to imagine some scenarios in which the living can be decently comfortable - and having to go into rural areas - might be a step too far removed for quite a few guys - including the various amenities that The Pharmacist has described as preferences.

We know that living in the center of cities tend to cost more than living in the outskirts, so there still could be some access to having benefits from being close to the social hub rather than removing oneself all the way to rural areas and still getting a discount by not being exactly in the most expensive parts of the city.  Of course, any of us would suspect that some risk comes from living in rural areas in the sense of potentially becoming a target if you stand out quite a bit, and surely security concerns might end up getting to be overblown or some of us might not even realize that there is any kind of security concern if our stays are somewhat temporary, so we might not get extorted or kidnapped or held hostage until we have already established more of a permanent presence in such rural location(s) without even realizing that we had been put on the radar for an extortionist target (sometimes maybe lucky to escape with your life if such an event ends up happening.. and realizing by the time it is too late).. so sometimes it may well be better to either be in decently bigger city or at least a location in which the level of standing out does not contribute towards becoming a financial extortion target.

Even in Western Locations there are some cities that are way more affordable to live, and I am thinking that part of the goals of The Pharmacist is to attempt to benefit from the exotic factor of being in a foreign location that would not come from merely attempting to find a low cost place to live within a western country.

Maybe there are not too many differences between the cost of living in the USA versus Canada; however, Mexico has a lot of potential for discounted locations - relatively speaking and really has a pretty vast array of city and town types that tend to have pretty decent access to goods and services - probably more access to goods and services as compared with El Salvador, which is considered to be one of our potential bitcoin friendly locations.  I have been to Mexico and I have been to Panama, but I have not been to El Salvador, so it would be more difficult for me to talk about how feasible it might seem for an American to locate there in the coming years, if The Pharmacists potential action timeline target might be in the near future rather than sometime way into the future?

There also might be some guys who are able to talk about various South or Central American locations, too.  Even some of the Caribbean island locations might not be overly expensive to live, such as some of the purported tax benefits that might be had in locating to The Dominican Republic.

I don't think you can live like a king in any country with signature campaign revenue. Living like a king means living in affluence and abundance. Many people are mentioning Africa, but the truth is Africa is not cheap except you decide to live in the rural area. There are some places in Africa that you can spend your campaign money in one night living like a king. You can live a fair or middle class life with that money in the city, but to live like a king you need to be part of the corrupt political class or an influential business person. Don't also forget that most countries in Africa are suffering from double digits inflation which would affect your purchasing power. But if you choose to live in the rural area, then you would marry as much as three wives and own vast lands for agricultural purposes with your campaign funds. This is because African rural areas have a very low cost of living because most of the food consumed are produced by the rural dwellers. Accommodation is also very cheap but the only challenge is that the rural areas lack basic social amenities.

The Pharmacist is already I king so even if the signature campaign is wiped off the forum he will still leave up as a Whale king in up to 50 countries around the world most especially in Africa with a nice apartment, and steadily electricity with solar installation as back up power supply located on a hilltop view city center.

What do you mean by came? You mean this thoughts came to you from time to time? If it's only a fantasy then it wasn't serious at all so it can be funny too. You can make your own fantasy came true if only you are willing to work hard for it. You can build a land of your own if that is what your fantasy and earnings from signature campaigns can help you make it happen.

When you earn you can save, invest/stake, or any other things that you can do to make more out of it. Why will someone interfere you? As long as you are doing things in a legal and fair way, you are going to be fine. Just don't mind the haters. There's always a people like that because they can't achieve their own fantasies/dreams.

Some places with signature campaign payment you will establish a mini company and live like king of empires. The issue we are having is to locate the perfect country from the continent. Because i know that with this payment some high paying workers does not pay compare to signature campaign payment if you combine to monthly. Some locale white cola jobs does not pay such big amount some people get from here. I will join The pharmacist at his back soon to establish for country that with my pay i will establish new thing that will give me money

I doubt that I have been the ONLY one who may have been somewhat fighting with the hypothetical that relies on a signature campaign as a source of income that could: 1) provide up to $300 per week of income on a fairly reliable basis, 2) could count on such income into the future and 3) could find 4 other guys who are able to generate similar levels of income (presumably from similar kinds of sources).

To some extent, maybe I even downplayed how much you, The Pharmacist, were wanting to focus on the reliability of the source of income as much as being able to find a place in which you (and perhaps 5 other similarly situated guys) could live comfortably off of that level of income. 

So yes, in this latest post of yours, you suggest that if Chipmixer were to dry up, then would there be a back up signature campaign that is at a somewhat similar compensation level - and yeah, for someone like me, I neither give too many shits about earning income from such sig campaigns because I consider the amount to be too low and not really providing enough of an income cushion - except perhaps if you had happened to have been living in an area in which your costs were low enough that you would possibly have excess income.

I suppose that my battling with such scenario happens to deal with some level of importance that I have always placed on savings and creating various kinds of wealth cushions in order to be able to have options, so I have some difficulties accepting why anyone would want to limit themselves to such low level of income, especially in their younger years, and especially if they likely have additional income generating options.

Gosh there are no real skills in getting accepted into a signature campaign except maybe just keeping somewhat coherent and non-scammy and non-controversial posting techniques, so if all signature campaigns were to dry up, then there might be questions regarding how to make that same level of income (purportedly by working on or through the internet)  without necessarily needing to have very many skills - and aren't those the kinds of questions that any quasi-educated 3rd world person would be asking, so the edge in being able to get those kinds of jobs would be just to have decently good English presentation skills?  Is there a need for any subject-matter knowledge?

I guess I am having some difficulties relating if the focus of the question merely is about the extent to which something like a signature campaign income of $300 per week is sustainable... maybe I am a bit of a prude, even though I do somewhat agree with the idea of building enough savings so that you can generate a passive income (fuck the signature campaigns) so you would not necessarily have to rely upon outside sources of income in order to generate enough of an income from your prior investments that would rise to the level of being able to produce something like a $300 per week income ongoingly (and than to appreciate enough, as well to be able to account for possible(likely) increases in the cost of living)...

Historically, you would have to consider around a 4% withdrawal rate on any investment portfolio that you had built - so yeah, the amount of work that is involved to build such an investment portfolio may well be much above and beyond what you, , The Pharmacist, were wanting to do.  Getting up to $400k invested would allow for a withdrawal rate of $16k per year ($400k * 4%).. which would be about $308 per week ($16k / 52).

If we compare Chipmixer with other top campaigns on bitcointalk, then the pay rate differs by 1.5 times. But the main advantage that makes this campaign the leader in payouts is that you can make up to 50 posts per week. Then, as in the rest of the campaigns, basically, the weekly limit is 25 posts. This is what results in such a gap in remuneration from other campaigns.

Yeah, I get the realities of my scenario as they'd probably play out in real life, including the fact that nobody's sure how long sig campaigns are going to exist.  I'm not sure which one has been the longest-running, but Chipmixer has been doing theirs for well over a year now, right?  And campaigns aren't what they used to be in terms of how much one could earn from them.  It used to be that if you made 50 posts in a week for Chipmixer, you'd earn 0.0375BTC, and they kept that rate right up to the point when that amount of bitcoin was way more than $300. 

I don't even know what other campaigns pay.  Do they come close to Chipmixer?

OK, you've been crossed off my list of potential housemates (LOL).  I wouldn't mix well with a neat freak unless I was paying them to clean up after me.

No kidding?  Hmm.  Assuming there could be a decent-sized parcel of property that could be purchased (with or without a big house on it), I'm starting to lean toward Zimbabwe.  South America might be, as a whole, in second place but I'm not sure which country would be the most hospitable.

In Pakistan the cost of living is very low. If you have some good money like for say - $1500 than yes - if you do your homework you might find some good place to live, I would prefer my own clean beddings because I can not sleep on dirty beds. Rest since I am a cleanliness freak - so I would prefer cleanliness and comfort.
