Philippines.

Get a beach house, or live in the city, or get a few acres of land ... Put a wall around it. Hire security or bodyguards.
When you have kids, hire a nanny for each. Send them to private schools.
Cash out in 2 or 3 major exchanges, or make it a daily routine to sell to locals.

But, don't do drugs.

A relatively large 3 to 5 bedroom, 2 or 3 car garage home, with a swimming pool, in a gated community will set you back about 10 to 20 million pesos, or 200k USD to 400k USD.

*edit* at 53, expect to live to maybe 83 ? so that's 30 years. You better have at least 1000 BTC (at today's prices) if you want to be comfortable without too much additional work. Get a token job for income tax purposes, but usually the government will leave you alone if you blend in.

That's 3 BTC per month for 30 years, more or less. Don't exceed that budget. You wouldn't unless you do something stupid. Just be smart about it. As a foreigner, you might spend more on local food (coconuts?) but just tip the waiters an extra 10~15% and you will get excellent service most of the time.

All gas stations are full-service, by the way. You can't gas the car yourself, they won't let you. Hire a chauffeur / driver for $300 USD per month. Double that amount if he acts as armed bodyguard.

Guys, i made a small fortune in altcoin/bitcoin. In which country should i settle ?
I have no wife, no kids, just a girlfriend, i´m free to go wherever i want (she´ll go with me).
But it has to be a bitcoin-friendly country.
I have no intention to buy lambos, just a peaceful life.
Thanks.

I agree with you that living in the Philippines is cheap and compared to the first world countries you can live your life in this country without spending too much. Even just your payouts from the signature campaign can already feed you three times a day and can pay your rent in a boarding house. As long as you stay simple Philippines is the best choice.

Oh, and my age is 53, that makes a difference too.
Go to my country which is the Philippines and I will show you how beautiful here. It is peaceful here, landmarks, beaches, have a fresh air. You don't need to look further. The temperature was okay, people were okay too. We are very hospitable in the visitors. We treat them special like a VIP. It has a bitcoin-friendly, you can use your bitcoin anywhere here. Our government doesn't care about this issue.

I mean, with a nickname as yours "ilovefeetsmell", you can´t be possibly right, up there. Well, my nick isn´t better much Smiley

No doubt about it: Canary Islands! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands



- Good weather all year due to microclimates.
- It belongs to the European Union: great stability and safety.
- Very cheap flights to and from Spain for residents: you can go on holidays to the Balear Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza...), Barcelona, Seville, etc. for a good price.
- Very touristic, there live lots of foreigners (British, French, German, American...).
- Special tax system.
- Great natural, cultural, leisure and gastronomic offer.

Take a look at it, it deserves a little research  Roll Eyes

Edit: at least, it would be my choice if I was economically independent.


I posted here about Canada, but I agree with you. Canary Islands and Spain in general would be a good choice. One of my friends spends couple of months each year in Barcelona and I always hear only good things about the place.

It's interesting to hear from the OP what he has chosen finally. Smiley

I take it you live in the US now? Why not retire there, unless your small fortune isn't big enough to sustain you.

if you are intending to retire completely and won't be seeking any jobs in the country you are going to then there are plenty of options, from the cheaper places in Southern America where a "small fortune" is sufficient for an excellent residence and life style to the more expensive European and Canadian Styles... Most of these countries - South America and Canada - might give permission easier than European countries.

Chile is an earthquake-ridden country, but in Chile most of the people are knowledgeable.
Knowledge, education and technology run well.

Trust me, go to Colombia man.
If you have no wife and no kids go to Colombia.

for $35,000 to $60,000 you will have a nice home.
You will eat good food at good prices everyday.
And you will be in the country of the most beautiful women in latin america.

You can always go for a week as tourist..go to Medellin for a week and do your homework, look around see if you like it.

my 2cents


Are you from Colombia ? I guess. My 2cents.



no, I am from a tiny island in the Caribbean

Sorry, Caribbean is off my list.
And how many times shall i talk about tiny islands ?



I did not tell you to come to a tiny island nor did I tell you to come to the Caribbean.

Because I told you to go to Colombia...you guessed I was from Colombia so I clarified that I am not..I am from the Caribbean.





Wtf ? I´m sorry, i can´t follow you.

If you are after the tropics, then Southeast Asia should be the best place but the hot weather can sometimes be a bit too unbearable. Also, stay away from war conflicted regions or areas where safety is a big issue, although they are very near tourist destinations. If you have enough bitcoin, you can even set up your own business, like most foreigners do when they settle in a foreign land.

Regardless, it's better to avoid countries under dictatorships because the tax rules and the allowed/disallowed are decided on whims, I would either choose Canada or Australlia, both accept immigrants very leniently and have good level of civilization, natural sceneries and good governmental systems.
