The US is tricky right now. Some states are about to flip blue, especially given the electoral changes that the dems are trying to push through right now. And even if they don't, the federal government looks on a course to hugely expand its powers and oversight. I'd avoid making any big moves for the next couple of years and then try and pick carefully.

Questions anyone? 

I visited a couple of times, liked the city.
I know that it is expensive  , but if mega-cities will still appreciate more than smaller cities, then it might be good as an investment.
A flat, perhaps, not a house.

I wouldn't put London as a pick unless you have silly money. If you do, carry on Otherwise there are much better options for your money.

Good afternoon WO!
Observing @ $54,100

The Bearish BAT Pattern became invalid when it broke to upside. You know well that TA is Science of Probabilities. Though Technical Charts are important Tool to predict Price action but  Charts are never crystal Ball.

Kind of funny because I did not really realize that you were wanting to give me a kind of advices, so I was merely attempting to respond to the ideas of your post generally and not really thinking too much about myself or having any intention of changing any things that I have evolved into doing over the years, and possibly I don't even consider that I am doing anything that would cause anyone to miss my post.. who actually wanted to read what I have to say...

I don't give too many shits whether people read my posts or not  (except maybe there might be some motivation to whom I respond should read my response post, but sometimes I don't even give too many shits about that because I surely respond to some posts that I am pretty certain that the poster has me on ignore, so maybe in those kinds of situation no one is reading the post - even though I spent time constructing it.. not sure if I care very much), and sure it is nice to have some stragglers here or there or even some members who admit to actually reading my posts regularly...  but in the end, it seems a kind of BIG so what to me whether my posts might not be being read in a current kind of times, maybe some people read my posts and maybe I get some perceived advantage by writing them.. just for my lil selfie... similar is true for the posts of others.. sometimes I read in detail, other times I skim, and sometimes there might not be enough hours in the day to read so many posts, you prolific fucks, and I just want to get caught up... so in those cases, I might just look to see if any of the posts might happen to have pictures  

You’re doing the right thing Billy!!!

FAKE NEWS!

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Slowly creeping back up... currently $54313USD/$68545CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Heading toward a new ATH and then on to $60k. Hopefully we're done with sub-$50k.

Go Bitcoin go.


What? You mean Bitcoin existed before 2017?  

I am amazed that you could find anything that fits all 8 criteria.
TX, for example, has 1&2 (maybe 6-8 too), but not 3-5.
I am trending toward FL as one location because of what Maimi did, but I would rather be in a moderate climate for sure (if there is a good fit)-I love having seasons.
To me almost all states now have natural disasters, especially if you include fires in your list, well, maybe not some NE states.
I would put water (a beach or nearby) as one of the conditions that I must have.
I have lived the last couple of decades in a place that does not have rivers, lakes or ocean and it sucks.
Atmospheric moisture does not count.
A small anecdote: "Me- some on WO are buying lakes..."better half"-show me, I want a lake tooooo". Not yet.

Miami has lots of stripclubs (or so I have heard).
But then there are hurricanes.
 

At the moment with this Covid shite I'm getting bored with the reliance on the internet and not being able to do much else where I live.
Having said that, this last year has clearly demonstrated where growth will be and what we as humans will prioritise and can't do without.
Certainly Bitcoin and probably not more stripclubs.

No income tax is not as necessary when you retire from bitcoin. That's mainly capital gains.

I would add...gun laws. Eventually you will be gunning down people invading your land.

You may want to keep an eye on Nevada's free city laws. Check out https://www.blockchains.com/
Tim Draper even mentioned that he is looking to buy 50k acres in Nevada for such a venture.

Then again, there are the pro-Bitcoin cities like Miami.

If you live in the U.S., here's my advice to narrow things down (which I did):

1. States that favor private property rights and other freedoms (usually conservative)
2. States that have low or no income taxes
3. States that have low property taxes (this is huge!!)
4. States with moderate climates and a longer growing season
5. States that don't have to deal much, if at all, with natural disasters (i.e., tornadoes, tropical storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides, etc.)
6. States with low electricity costs
7. States that have lots of available, lost cost land within 10-20 miles of a major city
8. City near where you will live has a decent airport with international flights

If you cross reference all of this criteria, you'll find that it narrows it down to about a half dozen states at most.

This is something that many of us WOers will seriously need to consider. And by the looks of it, this will need to happen sooner than some may have imagined. Bob is building a ranch, Jimbo is buying a lake (man, that sounds so cool), Elwar is into seasteading (not without its troubles, but still, he's pursuing his dream).

I'm also thinking of different possibilities. It's not easy to be rich. Sometimes not having a choice is much easier than having many choices and not being able to decide (although I'd take the second option anytime).

Sounds good...will be taken under consideration when building a custom "dream house".
The only question right now is: where?
Current thinking is to go bi-coastal (a combo of FL/WA-OR-CO; Caribbean/WA-OR or even FL/Canada (Vancouver?)...less likely is one house in US, one (EDIT:maybe an apartment) in Europe (London or something sunny, like Portugal).
Portugal has something good going with a golden visa, but learning Portuguese might be difficult (or not).

It's new technology, it needs some research before rushing into it. Not everyone is knowledgeable enough to switch from WiFi yet.


(Isn't that an RJ11 phone port btw?)

All my desktop computers are also wired. I'm using high quality Cat 6 cable throughout the house. I specifically ordered it when we were building the house, and the installation is all inside the walls and invisible/unobtrusive. I max out to 100 MB/s (1 Gbps) anywhere in the house. I've tried Wi-Fi, and it works OK, but transfer rates and neither stable nor predictable, so I prefer a wired connection whenever I can have it. Laptops, printers and other devices of minor importance are all on Wi-Fi.

I've even used my 3D printer to print special cable corners, so that the cable is never bent below its recommended minimum bending radius.

Nothing beats the robustness, reliability, stability and security of a wired connection.
