Bitcoin Forum

I'm asking this question seriously, though I'm going to qualify that by saying that I'm not planning on doing anything like this.  It's just a fantasy of mine, and the question very much has to do with economics, i.e., it basically has to do with economies in various parts of the world and the cost of living.  **Edit: This thread would be appropriate for Bitcoin Discussion as well, but mods, please don't move it there.  This isn't a thread that's meant to be funny, and I'd like thoughtful replies--which I won't get if the thread gets buried in a picosecond within the wasteland of what should be the most important section on the entire forum.**

Let's say a few of the Chipmixer crowd wanted to escape whatever tyranny they were living under in their country or countries (I picked that campaign because I think it's the highest-paying one, but correct me if I'm wrong).  We'll assume for the sake of argument that the campaign is going to continue indefinitely and that each member (let's say five in total) make the maximum number of posts per week, earning $300 worth of bitcoin in the process.  Let's further assume that these Chipmixer snobs demand only the best--Havana cigars, a large dwelling with a decent amount of land and no neighbors, a wine cellar (to be filled), and all the illicit and legal substances their cadre of well-endowed women can procure.  And a lawyer on retainer.

My question is whether there's any place on earth where $1500/week could allow five roommates to live very comfortably--perhaps not as boss-like as I described above, but maybe at least the big house and property.  Over the years I've heard stories that Filipino members were able to pay for a good weekly allocation of food just from campaign earnings, and they amounted to a lot less the last time I participated in one of those discussions.  I'm not picking on the Philippines; it's just something I remember and I don't even know if it's true.  What I'm fairly sure of is that there really do exist bounty farms within single households, where multiple family members are all on bitcointalk spamming away and earning who knows how much.

That tells me that there's something to it, because there's no way father, sons, mom, and whatever grandparents are still alive would be bounty hunting if it weren't at least a little bit lucrative.  So I'd love to know how far campaign earnings ($1500 per week for 5 people in my example) could be stretched.  Are there actually places out there where one could not only survive but thrive by earning bitcoin on the forum?

<and how does one go about getting citizenship?>

I'll lock this thread if anyone reports that this has been discussed ad nauseam.  But if it has, I've certainly missed it.

Speaking from the Philippines here. $1,500 per week makes $6,000 per month. In Philippine peso, that would be ₱313,491.01. That's more than enough for a group of 5 to live comfortably. Very comfortably, I cannot be sure as the level of comfort varies from one personal standard to another. However, that's a huge amount already. Our president only receives a salary of ₱411,382 - ₱423,723 per month.^[1] That's only $8,000 give or take.

Well, you read what I wrote as far as cock-of-the-walk standards, and I probably should have included buying some sort of luxury vehice--not a Bentley or Rolls, but a slick Mercedes or sporty BMW would do just fine.

So it sounds like that $1500/week would buy a pretty nice lifestyle in the Philippines.  Thanks for that input, I appreciate it.  It's also kind of what I assumed, because I've had the feeling that the cost of living in your country is pretty low if you compare it to the US (how much is gasoline over there, anyway?).  My next question would be: how does one go about getting citizenship in the Philippines?  Can somebody just fly there and take up residence, or would they be deported?

I'm still looking for places.  And just and FYI, this is not a new idea kicking around in my head.  I've wondered about this for years.

If you got the right group of people, I think £50k a year is quite a hefty sum for the five of you to live quite comfortably in most places (based off Europe, city centres are expensive and some of the towns around them but semi rural and rural locations would actually be pretty cheap to buy in a lot of places - you'd be able to get 2x3 bed houses for about £200k or ~£1.6k/month on a mortgage).

Idk if it's the same everywhere else though but normally a big property has a big amount of land with it too so you wouldn't exactly be earning fully off the earnings from a signature campaign if you wanted to buy somewhere particularly big (and loans would probably be easier to get on something glike that, especially if there's quite a few of you to guarantee it).

(as a bit of disclaimer, aside from a nice cosy house, a car, food, an adventure once in a while and strong personal relationships I'm not sure what's left I'd want).

Well, that's gonna be another story. A BMW X5, for example, would cost you more than a hundred thousand dollars.


1. Yes, $1,500 per week could give you a pretty nice lifestyle here. You won't be living like a king, but it's gonna be nice.
2. Gasoline here is around $1.40 a liter. It might hit $2 in the coming days or weeks.
3. As far as I heard from foreigners here, Filipino citizenship is hard to get. You'd rather aim for permanent residency, which is still hard but pretty manageable. Please don't take my word for this, but without any connection within the country whatsoever, you'd fly in as a tourist.


The Philippines is a beautiful country, that is, naturally. The people are friendly and hospitable. However, as it is inevitable to deal with different government offices and agencies, it's awful. But I guess there must be a kind of a special treatment for foreigners most of the time. Also, public transportation here is wanting.

I would say that you can survive and live well in Brazil with 300 USD per week.  The minimum salary is about 217 USD per month in Brazil (not enough to survive imo)

https://agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/en/economia/noticia/2021-12/minimum-salary-will-be-r1212-tomorrow#:~:text=Brazil's%20Government%20Gazette%20published%20on,(%24%20217%2C18%20dollars).

With 300 a week, you can get about  6000 BRL a month. You can rent a small apartment and buy food, you can even have a small kid and pay for his school if you leave in a small town far away from the big cities. But, 5 people? Well, you can't with just 300 a week.

However, if we talk about 1500 a week (6000/month), that's more than a physician or an engineer can make a month in normal conditions. That is a hell lot of money and that is more than most politicians make as well (President receive about 35000BRL). You won't live like a king, but you will live like a noble.

So, a single signature campaign is enough to live a simple life in Brazil. But, if you already have a job, one can live very confortable with a single sig campaign earning.

There are several things I think about what you comment:

I think that going 5 people to another country to live together is more typical of 20-somethings, if you're over 40 or 50 I don't see it. Although some time ago it was common for people who were just starting to play poker, in the boom time. Young people who went to a shared apartment to study and play poker and get as much money as possible.

In my case, hypothetically, ifI went to another country I would take savings with me, because apart from the weekly expenses you can have unforeseen events. How would you pay the hospital in a foreign country if you fall seriously ill or have an accident? You would have to see if you can buy health insurance before you go.

If I didn't have a 9 to 5 job, I think I could do other things besides writing 50 posts and get paid. I would still play poker, so I would have another source of income, and even people who don't play poker could create one or two alts to generate more money with signature campaigns, even if these campaigns paid less than the Chip Mixer. If you have no other job, writing 50 posts, which gives you 7 posts a day, leaves you plenty of time to do other activities for which to receive income, and plenty of time to enjoy yourself.

Regarding where to go, it would obviously have to be a country in what we call the third world, although I don't like the term. But there you would have to find one that is relatively safe, because it is cheap to live in Venezuela or Mali but both countries are among the most violent in the world. Therefore, it seems that the most reasonable option would be an Asian country, be it the Philippines as mentioned or some other.


Just a note, he is talking about $1500 per week between 5 people, or $300 per person per week.

Live a nice life? Probably in all the countries where the median wage is below half of what you make!
Live like a king, or thriving how you called it, no!

And that is simply because living and spending money on other things than food rent clothes means you're going to have to purchase stuff that doesn't care anymore about the purchasing power of the country and that costs nearly the same all over the world. Take the BMW for example, it's not going to be 10 times cheaper in Bangladesh than in Luxemburg.  Living like a king and at the same time not affording a trip to Europe or any other place on the opposite side of the globe cause the plane tickets alone are your income for 2 months? Again, not a king's life.

Enjoying live more than your average wage in a poor country could ever manage is definitely possible, I think that even in some parts of Eastern Europe you would still be making more than a lot of poeple, you would live a more comfortable life than them, but it's a long way from here to a completely carefree lifestyle.


A fast check and the average price for an hour of you know what in Manila was around ₱ 6,000, that's 100$.
So, not, you're going to have to stick to animes for a harem, even there.

$300/weak or $15.600/year is really high income on developing countries, some countries only earn income below $500/month or $6000/year and it's enough for them. In malaysia the annual income around $5000-$10.000, some people are still want to work if they got paid lower than that because if they don't work they don't have any money to buy foods. I ever work as part time worker on Food and Beverage company, I only got paid for $300/month and I'm already happy.

Now with the current pandemic, many people lost his jobs and it's more harder to find new jobs. Gladly I got accepted one of campaign here and got paid $30/week. To be honest I'm not joining this forum only for money, but to learn more about Bitcoin and talking with other people with same discussion. But, it's nothing wrong if we can earn money when you still doing what you like isn't?

In malaysia, you couldn't live like a king with $300/weak, but you can live comfortable and eat whatever you want.

I see your point, but there have got to be plenty of bitcoiners over the age of 40 who are disenchanted with their country and their government, who have few attachments as far as family or friends, and who'd love the adventure of something like I'm hypothetically suggesting.

If it was me who was the >40 guy in the group, I'd just insist on a basement apartment and mostly keep to myself, only bobbing my head up to socialize with my younger team members.  And I can pretty much guarantee you the climate--and I'm talking about the weather here--would be so much better than where I live now.

Of course!  That's a risk you take when you jump so far out of your comfort zone that you'd need something stronger than Googly Maps to guide you back to it.  And let's say this is a big house that has plenty of room for a bunch of GPUs.  There's some mining that could be done as a side hustle so long as electricity is reasonable.  And that said, I just checked the average cost in the Philippines and it's like $0.305/kWh.  That's a big deal-breaker.  

If you got into an accident, that's one thing.  That'll cost you straight out of your wallet.  But if you come down with, say, cancer you'd still have US (or whatever country) citizenship and presumably a way to pay for your treatment.  I do get that it's a major risk, though.

Now where did I ever mention that signature campaigns had to be the sole source of income?  In my hypothetical I just specified that they be the primary source.  I agree with you 100%.  I'd be bored as hell and probably would be found hanging from a string in the basement in no less than a month or two if the only thing I could do was write posts.

Think of the advantage you'd have if you could live in our hypothetical house and have your way paid for simply by making 50 posts/week.  That would free you up for so many other things!  If you're in your 20s, it'd be like retiring early--even if you got a 9-5 job in the new country (which a lot of retirees do anyway).  You'd already be making "fuck you" money, so you wouldn't have to apply for shit jobs and if you didn't get one you could spend your time playing poker.  Not a bad deal, I'd say.

Well yeah, that's exactly what I mean.  That's my point exactly.

OK, I can see your point about plane tickets but is it really true that the price of "automobile X" is the same all over the world?  I plead ignorance of the facts, but I find that hard to believe.  But in any case, the dope whip was just an afterthought.  It's the real estate I'm most interested in, and I know damn well prices for houses and land are not constant throughout the world, just like electricity, petrol, and prostitutsia.  Or treatment for gonorrhea for that matter--and while we're on the subject, I can stick with my typically subterranean standards and be chaste if the carnal act you circumnavigated around naming really does cost $100.

OMG, are wages really that low in Egypt?  I would not have guessed that.

A'ight boys, we're flying to Sri Lanka or Ethiopia!  You can flip a coin.

With 6000$ per month you have a pretty bit choice. You can have a good life in most part of the world. For your purposes you just need to find a friendly place with a decent infrastructure.

For now, following options are coming to my mind:

Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand. These places are pretty cheap and friendly for foreigners. If you come in a group then it is possible to find a fancy villa. But I'm not sure if you may get a cool car there.
Cuba, Georgia, Armenia, Egypt, Turkey, India and Morocco also should be fine, at least they are actively attracting foreigners and they are safe.

P.S. In case anyone is making a group for such journey - please hit me up.

No, of course not but it's not following the purchasing power, there are actually countries where because of taxes and registration fees cars end up being more expensive despite the average wage being lower. If I remember correctly the Philippines is one of those countries with a tax for "luxury", Denmark is definitely another. There are also a ton of countries where imports make foreign cars way pricier than their comparable rival model manufactured there, in China for example has a 15% tax on European cars and a 40% on USA-made vehicles.

That all being said, I doubt there is a place in Africa where a brand new 4 series would cost the same as the average annual wage as it does in the US.
And if that place does exist, then the next thing I do is go there and buy a dozen of them to sell it back home.

Most if you live in Southeast Asia (excluding Singapore, not too familiar about Malaysia) with $300/week you can live quite well, can not be said rich but at least in Jakarta (the capital of Indonesia) you can live in installments to have a car (standard car not luxury). 300/week or 1,200/month equals Rp. 17,000,000. With that money can't live like a king but at least you will look more respectable for having an income above average.
This is the average cost of living in Jakarta.
 (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Jakarta?displayCurrency=USD) and also the average salary of employees in Jakarta (http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=1136&loctype=3#:~:text=Average%20Hourly%20Wage%20in%20Jakarta.%2079%2C900%20IDR%20per,earns%20approximately%2079%2C900%20IDR%20for%20every%20worked%20hour.)
So the money is very likely to provide a better life and is quite sure it will be the same as developing countries even more so for poor countries.

People in Chipmixer campaign living in some country will live a very good life. There are some things that can be expesive in such countries, things that are important like cars and some other things like that which they import, but when it comes to food, renting house and daily living, it will be much cheap.

You can check this site: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_countries.jsp

Let us compare US and Nigeria: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=Nigeria&country2=United+States

In the state I am living, my friend rented an apartment worth only $517 per year, a very good apartment. People in my state are still complaining of rise in food stuff but it is nothing to those in Chipmixer.

To tell the truth, some people from such countries are able to make good life with even the $300 they are collecting but they can also have other ways of making money, but they can have good living with $300.

Another thing is that the minimum wage of some countries is less than $1.8 dollars per day, that is around $52 in a month and the government workers are still living in the country while some private are paying lower. You can see how someone collecting $300 is benefit more than that.

Afghanistan is the place where monthly living cost is just above 350$ but many people will not feel comfortable in the rule of the Taliban so Pakistan could be the 2nd best place for you. 370$ per month for an individual. You can live with good food, a home and can afford safe and comfortable transportation. Peoples are also hospitable towards foreigners.


https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/cheapest-countries-to-live-in

You can check the list of countries offering minimum wagers this article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_minimum_wage and then accordingly decide which country to move in depending on the safety, which is listed in this article - https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/safest-countries-in-the-world


Afghanistan does not have a banking system and is also in constant civil war. India and Nepal are safer than other countries listed on the list but the new Indian tax system will swallow 30 percent of your cryptocurrency earnings. Therefore in my opinion, Nepal & Srilanka right now can be the destination where you can live like a king with your earnings from the Signature campaign.

It really depends on what you imagine 'living like a king' is. There is no modern country on the planet where you don't have ultrawealthy individuals (ultrawealthy from my perspective), so would you be able to be on their level? No. Could you live a decent life just by sig campaigns, yeah, I guess you could, but that's as far as that goes? It's a good addition to your regular income.

Living like a king is relative to environment. Taking my country - Nigeria for instance. The largest city is Nigeria is Lagos. In lagos there is a place called Banana Ireland, in that area $1500 per week will only make you an average Nigerian. But in same Lagos, there is Sango, Egbeda, Idimu where $1500 per week will make you live like a king.

Looking at the general economies of the country, before last year the minimum wage used to be N18,000 per month which is about $30 per month. But it is now increased to N30,000 per month which is about $53 per month.
Saying about $300 per week, is good to live like a king only if it remains steady as you said.

Relocating to Nigeria is not difficult because the country is very hospitable and welcomes strangers as giants of Africa. In Nigeria, for residential purpose the best city to live in is Abuja which is the headquarters of Nigeria. But for business purpose you can choose Lagos.
But in all $1500 is rather the yearly payment of many unprotected labour and employees in the average cities of the country.

If you can sacrifice your luxury in life then Bangladesh or India can be affordable with small living costs. For being an agricultural country food is pretty cheap here. You can afford and eat a healthy diet and enough food with just 100$ per month for an individual. Another 100$ for your house rent and transportation cost but it's in a small town where no pollution and traffic jams can annoy you. If you want to stay in a metropolitan city then you have to double that amount.

If you can add another 100$ then your life will be a luxury here. I do not need any data to show you because I am telling you this from my personal experience.

I'm a senior unix system engineer with 2 masters in a developed west european country and i make about $3500/month.
My wife is a teacher with 2 bachelors and she makes about $2000/month.

$1500/week is ~$215/day. That's ~$78k/year.
My wife and i combined make about ~$66k/year for doing specialised jobs with a lots of responsability, a bachelor/master degree, many years of ancienity in a developed country... I'm pretty sure you can live like a king in several other countrys with a much lower income.

We're a family of 3, but adding an extra 2 people won't increase the expenditure by 40%. You don't need 5 cars, 5 TV set's, 5 gaming consoles, you don't need to spend 5x as much for heating or for ISP connectivity.

In my country, which is one of the more expensive ones in the world, i'm pretty sure you can rent a house big enough to accommodate 5 people without compromising comfort, you can have 2 cars, you can have food and entertainment... You probably have enough left over to take a big overseas vacation once or twice a year. Sure, it won't be living like kings, but you'd have a warm house, a private bedroom, a bathroom you only need to share with 1 or 2 people, a car you have to share with 1 or 2 people, hot food, medical attention, entertainment,...

If you are not scared, any post soviet country will be a suitable place for $1500/weekly income family. Some of European countries will also do. Btw, we dont know your requests and what do you understand under "live comfortably".

For example I like warm climate, and I like if the country is developed and not relatively poor. I cant see myself living on an island, where you get from one village to another by scooter. All that jungles around.

My travelling experience tell me that eastern Spain suits me. It is warm there mostly, but not killing hot. You can rent a house or big apartments for 1500-2000 EUR/month. There are a lot of things to do there, to visit. People are friendly. Perhaps it will be hard to live comfortably there if you are 5, but 3 persons can make it easily. In addition, it is easy to travel from Spain all around the world. Think about it if you want to move (you are not going to sit there in one place until you retire). I have never been to Philippines (as you have mentioned it), but I expect it will be more complicated to travel from them, compared if travel from France, UK, Spain and etc.

Alright, alright, you're taking my words too literally and too seriously.  Forget about the car, and I concur with all the points you made.

Ultimately, I'm looking for a country (or part of a country) where the value of a certain amount of bitcoin has way, waaay more purchasing power in general than it does where I live, which is in the US.  The real estate isn't negotiable, though, because a king and his court must have a castle, and it has to be affordable.  Call girlz and their dirty services can be negotiated easily enough (or so they tell me), plus the cost is much cheaper than land, assuming we don't have a sex addict in the castle.

When I say "live like a king" I really mean relative to everyone else in the area, because what other meaning could that phrase possibly have?  And I'll add to that the fact that I myself don't require much in the way of physical possessions, nor those things that we do in secret at Foxpup's secret meetings, or social status.  I'm content to live as a reclusive bum, unshaven, unshowered, and overall unkempt.  Hence the basement preference; it's altruism.  The attraction is to move away from the US to a better climate where the USD value of bitcoin can be stretched much further, thereby allowing me to drop out of the soul-crushing workforce and perchance to cohabitate with a few fellow bitcoiners.

Is that completely unclear?  I've been up for about 38 hours.

No kidding?  I'm friendly with a few guys who own small stores in my area who are from Bangladesh, and I always ask them about it.  Their accents are very thick and their English isn't great, so it's hard to understand them sometimes, but I enjoy chatting with them.  They've got wicked senses of humor, much like many of the Indians I've met in the US.  I never asked them why they immigrated here--and I probably shouldn't, but I'm curious now.

Yes!

Yes!  I'd have to hit the streets pretty quick.

F-f-f-f--ff-f-FUCK!!!!

Oh hell no.  Dude, I don't even think I could fly to Afghanistan, much less live in my self-styled castle with my fellow Chipmixers with sufficient internet to get the rent paid.  I also don't want to get executed, head-lopped-off style and have it broadcast on some website dedicated to that shit.

300 dollars is more than enough for a single family in here, We are from the south and the cost of living is actually affordable for a minimum wage of 6 dollars a day. Can you believe that? 6 dollars is what the common people gets in here and they don't even bother. There a few that are getting paid below that, around 4 dollars a day or lower.

We are a small family that is consisting of 3 members, me my wife and a 2 year old daughter. Also we are nearing baby number 2. My current sigs pays me 40 a week and I did not even spend a quarter of the total payments for three weeks. It is because we can manage to live just spending 3 dollars a day. How would that 300 dollars you are receiving if I am in your shoes. I could buy things that I want. Try a vacation in the Philippines, I recommend you the south were there are many beaches to visit. Palawan is the best , see for your self where that 1200/month leaves you. Please don't look down down us even we are just living a simple life in here.

My only suggestion is - don't move to country just because it is cheap to live there. No offense to people who live in such countries, but if you selection is based by affordability of everything around, don't expect quality. Not to mention it will start to break you mentally. You should aim to live in expensive place, live expensive life, earn more. Cheap will become your new normal.

Advice - before making a decision to move, try to live in new country for a month. To live somewhere not in a capital or tourist place. Somewhere were there are more locals. Try to live the life locals have.

English is your native language? Go to Malta. English is their second language. Small island. You can get everywhere within 4-6h car ride. Calm and measured life. But you can always go to Paceville for a party. You can get Malta citizenship for example by leasing a property for 5 years or make donation (https://www.maltaimmigration.com/). Sun, sea and Binance around the corner - what else do you need ? :D

P.S. Malta is friendly for crypto  8)

Yes, there are lot of places and i will like to use Africa as a case study. West African countries are known to be a fast developing region in Africa and to be able to sustain an average livelihood of about five family members as i will give a breakdown of the situation in the region first.

In West Africa, it is believed that their economy is above average in stability, their currency is below the standard USD, cost of living is less, there is peace stability, stable power supply, good network access in specific regions, access to luxury life, accessible road and serene environment, moderate weather conditions and absence of natural disasters.

With $1500/weekly earnings one can easily make a good living with 5 people all together in West Africa, the first step is to make a currency conversion of $1500 by the worth of 1$ to their local currency, using Nigeria as an example, $1=#560 and 1500x560=#840,000 per week which is good enough to make a living for a whole complete month in Nigeria together with the 5 household members after feeding and paying house rent, about #300,000 will still be left, base on my living experience there.

Secondly, one can choose to save up for about two months, come to West Africa, convert the $ into their local currency, buy a land, build a house, and furnish the house considering location to accessible network frame and water which are part of essentials to your good living over there as a good network is needed to continue your online forum campaign and water for a good sign of living.

In a nutshell, going by the economy of a region, cost of living, their currency value to USD, one can easily make a plan to live comfortably with such earnings from a signature campaign. Lastly, another consideration is in the ability of the person being able to know how to manage things, set priority and ability to maximize effective use of resources.

Don't take the signature campaigns as a main income. This is should be just a bonus for the time and effort spent on the forum but turning it into your main income, there are too many negative effects.
First, spamming the forum because of the fulfilling of the minimum requirements often are quite high and if you have nothing to add to the conversation, you just post low effort posts and turn yourself to a spammer.

amazing... and to think I have denied every signature campaign that I have been asked to participate in. lol

Bangladesh is a developing country. Monthly income here is way less than in most of the western countries. So many people go out of the country who seek luxury and a western lifestyle. It's very common here and a large quantity of Bangladeshi who are immigrants in the west are students or political refugees. As long as you are not doing something against the current govt you have nothing to worry about. For being a developing country political instability is common here too. But I can assure you most of the Bangladeshi people are very hospitable towards foreigners and treat them as a guest.

If you ever come to Bangladesh be my guest.

I'm going to reply to this thread with honesty and anyone from my locality can attest to my opinion.
You see, there are some countries that are still living below the international poverty line, my country for example pay a minimum wage of #30,000 which is <= $53 (depending on the $$ rate, I used #570 per dollar) and imagine someone earning $1500 (570*1500 = #855,000) in a week, that's should be enough to feed you and your family and save some for rainy days unless you are the type that loves extravagant life, but trust me, you are 4 times better than some running for jobs slots in big firms. In fact, let me burst your bubbles, that's the salary of some master holders in some big firms.

The average monthly wage for some regions in africa is $40 a month. There are regions in the world with far lower average cost of living, in contrast to developed nations like the united states.

Earning revenue via internet has encouraged many to migrate to nations with lower average expenses. Essentially they're become known as digital nomads.

There are places in the world which offer free land to anyone willing to move there who can cover their basic costs. Parcels of land which might normally be worth thousands in a good location can be had for nothing. Of course there is a catch to it. It is usually in a ghost town or area which would not be appealing to most. Although I would guess there could be a few who could take this type of opportunity coupled with income from a sig campaign and turn it into a goldmine.

But I guess the only way to truly live like a king would be to slowly exchange sig campaign earnings for assets which will greatly appreciate in value. Or for equipment which might be used to start a business that generates revenue.

Living with 5 roommates is the opposite of living like a king. People need personal space, even if they live in a large house. So instead if you think about $300/week and living alone, there's a ton of countries in the world, basically any developing country, that would allow to do that due to cheap rent, bills, groceries. But it's also a question of compromises. If you mostly sit at home, you'd better live in some small and distant city, rather than the country's capital. If you like to communicate with people, you should look for a country with compatible culture and social values. Some people just can't live in a climate that it is too hot or too cold.

Everyone has different understanding of what "living like a king" means. But in countries where most people earn $100 to $400 per month, earning $300/week would certainly make you more comfortable than the local population. Just keep in mind that a lot of the luxury stuff, like electronics or cars, will still cost as much as it costs in the West, or even much more in certain cases.

There are places in the world where life could be really cheap and one could build a haven put of the little plunder from campaigns here in the forum. I won't point to any nation in particular but, if I were to make an analysis based on my nation Nigeria, when we talk about living an average lifestyle, its possible.

Nigeria is a rich nation and like every other Africans, we believe very much in spending money and living out the good just to ensure we pay less attention to our government. The average Nigeria would like to spend most of his or her money on food, drinks, cloths and entertainment in the likes of musics/concerts, a few cars and maybe a good home. Not a Palace or castle per say but, just a normal bungalow with at least 3 bedrooms. Lest say, you have all these covered @House and Cars. Looking at the daily lifestyle of a Nigerian, earning a much as $1500/W, your daily spendable analysis would be some worth as these;

One commodity that is sure to such up your finances is the cost of petrol and that comes into play when your not living in a government residential area.

Petrol cost as much as #200 = $0.37 per litre and as such, 40litres should be enough to fuel your electrical generator and maybe your car for a day which could amount to $15.

On food, Kilimajaro is one of the best restaurants and brands around. An average meal, let's say a plat of rice and chicken, with salad and a litre of yoghurt would cost about, #4000 = $7.12. This could be relative to cover for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hence, your more likely to spend $21.36 on food daily.

Looking at cloths, it varies depending on what you want and as a classic man with style. I can estimate on this but, it could plunder a lot into your earnings and cloths isn't something you buy everyday.
Although, you could do your laundry as low as #500 = $0.98 per clothen article.

Drinks are variable and largely based on brands. Wines and most of the bar drinks are imported and as such, the price is relative except with a slight increase. Let's say, a 10-20% increase.

I can't accurately give a complete stats on this but, life could be fair for a campaign participant earning as much as $1500/W. One thing that makes life for an average Nigerian is trying to live upto the life's of the celebrities and billionaires around, trying to go with the trend but, setting that aside, you could live okay.
The minimum wage is barely #30,000 = $52.35 and that's on a monthly bases. It's really challenging for the few living on that but on a ground scale of $1500/W, your sure to live okay and like a King of your own domain.

Mainly, the part to getting a Nigerian citizenship is by having blood ties to a Nigerian and possibly marriage but other means could be found here : https://ecitibiz.interior.gov.ng/citizenship/requirements.

For what is worth, life isn't that easy in Nigeria but with a constant source of income and depending on how weighty it is, Nigeria becomes a very enjoyable country.

This is family we are talking about, possibly your siblings but either of the way, some people derived pleasure when living together with others and i can bet you it derives more benefit than living alone i can't just start with the mentions. I also understand that whatsoever thing nature blesses you with is not meant for you alone but to be enjoyed with people around you while in doing so you're obeying the law of giving and practicing the act of humanity in showing love with brotherhood.


There are countries around the Asia continent like  India where one can live comfortably without the fear of nothing, the campaign earnings will be satisfactorily enough to sustain and maintain a comfort living for the family, and one other consideration is the acceptability of cryptocurrency activities in such region and India could be a good idea to showcase your cryptocurrency acquired skills in the region like opening a location for bitcoin/cryptocurrency trading centre, creating an exchange, teachings cryptocurrency tutorials, and other digital entrepreneurial skills to the people which does not hinders your chipmixer campaign obligations and this solely rely on you seeing this is possible which is your mindset created for such approach.

Therefore, base on your ability to adapt to a new environment, your roburstful thinking, and commitment to striving for a better live and change, you can create a good living along with five people since you are the main determinant of this situation.

Hi mate, do you think The Pharmacist doesn't already know that? I think we all agree with that, he is talking about a hypothetical idea:


In his response to my comment, he also talked about supplementing the income from signature campaigns with other sources of income.


The Pharmacist is not going to become a shitposter all of a sudden, neither are you and I, no matter how much we have minimum posting requirements in our sig campaign, and in any case, in that hypothetical situation he would have more time to write, as we have been talking about, so I only see sense in your comment if it is directed to lower ranked members who are starting in this.


Maybe because you only post in the collectibles section? Campaign managers usually want people spreading the posts all over the forum, not just one section.

Going back to the main point of the thread, I think that even though we are talking about a hypothetical situation it is interesting to always have options open, because you never know what can happen in the future. Being able to earn money only with a computer and an internet connection gives you a freedom of options, regardless of the sources of income you have are more or less stable. But having savings, plus 1 or 2 sources of good income gives you a freedom of choice that someone who only has a source of income from a job that requires physical presence does not have.

I have followed the thread and seen some interesting answers, what I was also thinking is that maybe if someone considers doing what The Pharmacist says in 5 years (assuming that there are still well paid campaigns by then) maybe there will be some country that has revealed itself as the best to go to that we do not take into account now. To give an example, if this thread had been written 5 years ago, El Salvador would not have been considered as much of an option as it may be now.

Thrive, yes. Live that would provide shelter, food, and necessities and maybe more, yes. Depends on each person if they would share equally.
But this thing will just be effective if those 5 people that earns $300 each (per week? am I right?) are all single. Living the life.  ;D
That amount though will not suffice for a man who needs to feed a kid and a wife. I mean the $300. It's way different if you singlehandedly shoulder everything. I've heard stories about that it can in other countries but I doubt it can bring a kid to college.
Edit: Sorry I forgot it's for a week, my mind keeps on telling me it's for a month. I am changing to yes, it will suffice.

Hello there, The Pharmacist. I am from the Philippines and I can give you an idea of how much the living cost in my area. Then you can decide if that amount can make you live like a king or not.  ;)
I will just use the individual rate on your example and that's $300 per week or $1200 per month. Which is 60k in PHP using 50PHP = $1. That's a manager's monthly salary Manila-based job. (different rates in provinces - lower)
A house that I am paying to own costs - 6000 PHP per month and I will pay it for 30 years. Rent in Manila for a condominium unit may cost more like 10000 - 15000
Electric bill - 3000 PHP AC room only with complete appliances.
Water bill - 500 PHP
Internet line - 2500 PHP - 100-200 mbps
Monthly grocery with 2 kids - 10000 PHP
Daily food - 300 PHP - 30 days - 9000 PHP

That's just 31k PHP for a family to live with good food on the table for a month. Most employee do have a base salary of 10-15k PHP per month and they can still smile every day.
Now, if it's shared, it will cost lesser and if they are all single they can have Saturday Nights even on Tuesday.

(Didn't include medical, insurance, and others as it will be an option discretely.)

Sticking to this assumption that accomodation and mobility (a car) has been settled, this is economics, and for five persons $1500 could create a comfortable lifestyle if properly utilized. For a country like Nigeria, you can cut down daily cost by purchasing things in bulk calculatedly...This method will still create a comfortable life, and you will live with four other persons (5 persons total) comfortably.


To cut cost, you can seek alternative renewable means of power like solar to support the petrol use, so you reduce the time you run your generator.


Get food stuffs in bulk, you will notice that you will spend less in a long run compared to spending daily.

Don't just buy clothes for no reason, buy clothes for particular occasions... so you don't buy unnecessary things you don't need. if you have less clothes that are important, you will have less clothes to launder.

To be a king doesn't always mean that you should spend extravagantly.

I think i can do it from my Country Bangladesh cz in this country you can rent a expensive house in just 300-400$ also living cost also will luxury if you cost more 500-600$ per month there is lots of luxury people who live happily more than low cost in this country just you need to know that how to live happily then you will understand how people live happyly in just low cost!!

There is lots of country you can live like a king in this expenses you always know about that rather than live like a king in others country live like a simply happy Bird in own country is most satisfied thing in this world. Also like happily with family in your own country is the best thing of the world!!

Dude $1500/month is insane, here in India people work $3-$6 wage jobs and so called bank jobs which many here consider luxury, pay 20k rs/month (~$250) - when you start it is even lower. I think first word country people need to travel a bit and realize how cheap living could be.

You could live in 3rd world posh area and have same standard of living as your home yet the cost would be much less.

Another thing you need to take into account is your safety. What is the point of cheap food and housing if you live in an extremely dangerous country and if some gang finds out you make $6000 a month they can kidnap you.

There are many safe places in USA and Canada where you can live in a huge house, couple cars, lots of food, etc for $6000 a month. The mortgage would be maybe $2K a month. I am not talking about living in Vancouver or New York but some low population state where houses are reasonable. You will feel safe there and everything.

A 1750-2000 Sq house is more than enough space for 5 people. Privacy might be an issue however.

That is right, people who try to make signature campaign their main source of income turns out to be spammers. They always drop low quality content in the forum. Most of them don’t even care about questions that are being asked on the thread, they just start dropping whatever they want so that they can be able to post as many comments as possible to be able to increase their earnings at the end of the month. But that can be a problem for them if the moderators should find out.

So, it’s really not good. But if you are someone that can make out time to just be on the forum and be answering questions for the whole day, then you can go ahead and do that as long as your answers are not spamming.

Looking at all these posts and especially at some number links, I wonder why the assumption is that a poorer country will be way cheaper than a medium emerging economy and that you need to go to the end of the world for it. Spent a bit of time picking the cities mentioned and I just throw an eastern Europe capital against it :

Budapest and Jakarta (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Hungary&country2=Indonesia&city1=Budapest&city2=Jakarta&tracking=getDispatchComparison)

Sofia and Dhaka  (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Bulgaria&country2=Bangladesh&city1=Sofia&city2=Dhaka&tracking=getDispatchComparison)

Bucharest and Manila (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Romania&country2=Philippines&city1=Bucharest&city2=Manila&tracking=getDispatchComparison)

Zagreb and Lagos (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Croatia&country2=Nigeria&city1=Zagreb&city2=Lagos&tracking=getDispatchComparison)

So, not really that much difference in funds need trying to be some African Warlord of an Oligarch.

That being said, I'm really curious, leaving the whole earning from a signature thing aside, have any of the responses made you think of moving to another country assuming you would get a real long-term job there paying this amount? Let's say you get an offer for twice this, 2400$ a month, would you consider it even a bit?

Romania is a country where 1000$ / month (after taxes) is already a good pay.

With 1500$ a week you can easily^* afford to buy either a flat in the city, either a smaller house or a half of a duplex in the one of the "bedroom-villages" next to the bigger cities of the country and have a pretty good life. Not havanas, whiskey and hookers 24/7, :) still a good life. If I'd have such an income and no kids at school I would probably spend most of the year in holidays.


^* It may worth mentioning though that with that kind of income probably no bank will lend the money for buying, so it may not be that easy after all. But strictly from the income point of view it's easy-peasy.

Anyone in Nigeria who moderates their way of living  knows that $300 weekly is a very big amount of money. Am talking of a country whose minimum wage is N30,000 a month. That is about $52. Some of this workers who receive that also have those who depend on them financially. That is a country where over 70% of its population are poor and lives on $2 a day. Anyone getting $300, that is N172,500 in Nigeria will live life very well, except he wants to live it very high like sportsmen and women who like flashy cars and things. Imagine what that amount can achieve in a country where someone is happy getting N30,000 monthly which can not even buy a 50kg bag of rice and you offer him N172,500 weekly. That will be a dream offer. A bag of rice in most parts of Nigeria is between N32,000 to N39,000. With inflation eating deep into the economy of my country and cost of living rising makes the minimum wage amount to nothing. $1,500 weekly will be someone living like a Saudi Arabian Prince even with more than 5 people. It is a very big amount of money.

The first thing that we need to establish is that there is a lot of inequality in the world:


If a person is getting $300 a week from the signature campaign, that means they're getting about $42 a day. That's a reasonable amount of money to survive anywhere in the world, relatively speaking, as that person won't be below the poverty line in a high-income country such as Norway:

https://i.imgur.com/wV1eJE6.png

So, basically you would be able to survive pretty much anywhere in the world. But let's see where you get a better deal.

https://i.imgur.com/5HXvoWX.png

We can see that in Burundi the average income is $1.50 a day, and 80% of the people there live on less than $1.90. Your $42 a day means you would be earning 22 times more than the vast majority of people there.

Now, let's go even further. We can see the whole world, mapped in a way that shows the percentage of people of each country that live on less than $3.2 a day:

https://i.imgur.com/wJYFMS3.png

The largest percentages appear all around Africa, and South Sudan in particular which has the largest percentage at 93.27%. You can see the source from this table (https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-living-with-less-than-320-int--per-day?tab=table&country=EST~TTO~CAN).

If you move to South Sudan, your $300/week campaign would put you well above the vast majority of locals. But then there's the question of what you can get with that money, as most hotels and other facilities are aimed to tourists, not locals, and priced accordingly.

South Sudan is very underdeveloped for locals, so probably you won't get the best bang for your buck there, and also the people around you would be living a terrible life, which would lower your own quality of life as well:


The best answer is probably somewhere in the middle, where locals have a reasonable quality of life, and you going there would allow you to live in the upper side of society. But then there would probably be personal choices that you would have to value, like access to beaches, quality of food, language of locals, weather, and so on. Interesting question.

In my view, the world has become more balanced than in the past and people move more. This means that there are no free meals. If you want to have decent health care, it will cost you quite a bit anywhere because it is no longer about the doctor's pay. If you want security, you either live in a safe country (with strong taxes and redistribution) or you have to pay your own - again, good's not cheap.

I am interested in learning about any country in which I can have security, at least basic freedom, decent healthcare and can pay all that on, let's say, 500 USD a month.

I think The Pharmacist is neither is such a rice lover, nor wants to connect his life with rice :D The Pharmacist - the king of rice.

You can rely measure comfort life with bag of rice. How long can he survive this rice tortures? Maybe two months? Once I tried to experience bodybuilders eating routine. I ate only rice and boiled chicken breasts. In the middle of third week I had nausea when I saw rice.

What will he do in Nigeria? Except feeling himself like a tourist during first weeks? What can he achieve there?

I think it is more a joke than a serious question. It is impossible to live like a king with signature campaign earnings. Because people have growing appetites and get used to things. While signature campaign reward is constant.

$1500/week is definitely going to give you a good lifestyle here in Ph (even with 5 people in a household) just like how some of my country men explains to you.
Now, If we're talking about applying for citizenship, afaik you need to stay here for several years, marry a filipina, or have a filipino business partner.
However, you can still own an airspace like condos here without any citizenship requirements, thus live a comfortable life and you're considered to be in a rich in PH's social stratification structure.
An individual who earns at least $1,000/month is considered wealthy. So,  $1500 for 5 person, that's 1,200/month individually and that is more than enough.

 ;D you are either a comedian or you just want to misrepresent my post intentionally so to drag The Pharmacist into your post. You know your reason for doing that. I used the rice example to measure the monthly minimum wage in my country and what it can afford in basic food stuff so that those not in my country will understand better what $300 weekly is capable of. There was nothing much attached to it. If someone's monthly salary can not even pay for a bag of 50kg it shows you how little that salary is to the person. Now you go back to your comic theatre.

I think those quoted numbers reflect significantly marked up prices in tourist areas. Which are higher than national averages.

"Slum" and non tourist regions have significantly lower prices:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHN7S5oTWEs

Those areas are supposed to carry a negative connotation. But in some instances when those areas are recorded, there are children playing everywhere. People seem relatively happy and friendly. A stark contrast to many neighborhoods in more developed nations were gangs and organized crime have effectively taken over.

I think developing countries would make sense because this amount of spending for me is huge for 5 people, in some countries in Southeast Asia it's entirely possible. But I don't think the Philippines can't afford that, because I see a similar country in the region like Vietnam if you earn $1500/w then you are a rich person and fully afford comfortable expenses. roof. And IMO, Vietnam is great for many criteria, the cost of living is cheap, the quality of life is decent, and it's very easy to immigrate.

I've been to Vietnam about 2 months and the results are very pleasant, I live in a countryside that is not affordable with the internet, at that time I rented a house with an area of around 200m2 at a cost of around $ 200 per month, and for eating needs with 2 of my friends only about $ 5 per day for one People, Vietnam is very pleasant and makes me always want to live in there.

$1.5k a month is HUGE where I live. I mean you would basically live like kings for sure here if you were earning that much. I am earning a bit less than that, and even I am doing alright for myself.

Haven't been making that much so far, and so far it has been 1/3 of that and I have been living pretty nicely. Recently some health issues came up in the family, and I had some, and debts were always there, combined all of that resulted with me needing more money and now I am working a lot more, it's fine because I love my job but I can see how it could be hard for others.

Now I will make this kind of money for the first time ever and the money that I dread about how I am going to pay my debt, would be paid in a single month and I would still have more money left than what I usually earn, so it is really a lot here where I live as well.

I live in Greece, where the basic salary is about 600 EUR per month. One individual alone can live off; they aren't much, but one without a family can easily scratch out a living with 150 EUR per week.

Now, for a family of 5, it's required to have at least two incomes (of that salary) to make ends meet. Whether that's two basic salaries or one basic salary and a pension etc., otherwise, we're talking about poverty. So in my place, $1500/week (~€1362/week) is an income where you can get by, but definitely not to praise it. It's as normal as it could.

There are places on this globe which does have higher standard of living on which USD value would neither be on high or low depending on exchange rates and this 1500/week would really be just enough for you

to buy all the things you do like not on the sense with those mansions or cars but you could actually get one if you do really tend to save it up even on just having 5 person per household then that amount would
suffice and still have some extras left but well on each country does have different level or standard of living which situations could really vary and differ.

Here in the Philippines , the $1500 per week is big enough. You can rent a house then invest for buying some houses in the future. You can easily get what you want about this and you live like as a king. But always remember you need to find some place that you can safe.

I don't know what happened to @nutildah or why he hasn't been online for months but, if you can still talk to him, you can ask for his feedback from living here in the Philippines. I know he spent time in the Southern part of the country which should generally have a lower cost of living than us in the North.

It is actually big enough for me, like we knew how hard it is to live in a third world country where earning like this kind of weekly income would be needed a multiple kind of job or consider a side hustle to achieve this amount. This is definitely every Filipinos dream to earn such kind of amount because you can really enjoy your life in this kind of earnings and I do wish I could earn this kind of big amounts too. Well, that's not impossible if we are all going to make every single productive.

That could actually put up a good business and the whole family could live comfortably. That amount could supply and sustain not just the needs of the family but also their wants. The cost of living in the Philippines isn't too cheap but not as expensive as in other Asian countries. If a family could earn that much, they could travel and enjoy life while doing a bounty or signature campaign.

If you ask me then it’s hell lot of money to be spent on private island.

I am not sure why peeps here are thinking about house or apartment here cause if you gonna live on an island there would be huge shacks made out of woods, some sand and be surrounded by natural beauty.

It would cost literally nothing. If you hire some workers out there who would be living peeps from nearby village then would take as small as 100-500 bucks a month to serve for your needs. Believe me they won’t be having any desire for huge sum of money.

You can have daily local food from islands heart, more fish less veggies all cheap.

I think you will end up saving huge sum of money overseas account after spending enough money on the island lavish life.

Yeah, many are saying the Philippines is actually not that cheap. But, you know, as in every other place, there's the divide between the highly luxurious and the not-so-expensive. The latter doesn't necessarily mean uncomfortable and without class. They may not be the 5-star type of accommodation, for example, but they're excellent. And with $6,000 a month, to borrow from Dirty Heads, you're gonna be on vacation every single day. And that's whether you love your occupation or not.

It depends on the life style that one lives and planning that can make one to sustain very well with such amount,  if one can be able to spend on reasonable and important things , make some little savings from every $1500 that comes in I think it is possible to live good life in the region I come from (Africa). It is always easy for anyone to live good life from his/her average allowance if the person is well discipline in spending money.

$1500 a week is so high for people to earn weekly this already can give more comfortable life to anyone and it can  able to sustain the needs of  5 or even 10 person. Even if we say that the price of oil also inflation is so high still the person who earn $1500 a week will not get affected on it and mostly they can buy what they want for that amount they receive weekly. If that amount will not be enough for some people I don't know how they spend their money but one thing is for sure here that is totally huge and not everyone can achieve that salary.

There was an episode between nutildah and a staff member that - supposedly - made him cease[1] his activity on the forum. You can read more about it here[2].

One could argue what is a "lavish lifestyle" since it totally depends on the people and their interpretation of it. Still, I got no doubts that in some parts of the world it's totally doable living with $1500 - +- 1.362 € -  per week, even if we were talking about a group of 5 people and considering that they share the same space, which directly means that they will share at least their property expenses (electricity, ISP, water, heating ...) and food at least.
Let's take for example the cost of living in Portugal[3] which numbeo states that a single person average monthly spending is 531 € (no rent included). I believe that this number is a bit higher, especially on city centers, but considering that you're sharing most of your fixed costs I'll go along with it. That's 2,655 € per month and if we add rent - a house for 5 people in a decent neighbourd in Porto hovers around 2.000 € - so that would make the total monthly cost being 4,655 €. This means that from the total of $6500 USD monthly - +- 5,904 € - you would only be left with 1.249 € ($1376) - about 249,8 € (+- $274) for each person - to spend on frivolous things/events which, at the end of the day, isn't something that would provide to be very sustainable, at least from my point of view.

One could argue that the group could simply buy a house in order to remove that 2.000 € rent - by contacting a loan which would make them pay a lower value to their bank debt - but I assumed that they've just gathered and don't have the needed funding for that endeavor...

Brazil - 1500$ weekly, 6000$ monthly. Not possible to live like the king of the world, but possible to have a decent, confortable middle class life.

On the other hand, if it was a couple instead a group of five, that amount of money would be enough to raise financial standards considerably, having access to the high quality goods and services disponible around.

Anyway, if those five people are also investors and use their signature campaign wages to grow their holdings along the time, instead of spending everything, it's possible to improve life conditions through passive income within time.

It would be always on everybody's dream on earning that big on weekly basis which would really be putting you on a situation specially on countries which does have cheap cost of living will really give

out that kind of abundance on which you could buy on things that you do want or neither purchase some vehicle if you do know on how to save up for later.Living out with 5 person should be enough
here on my place even with just 1-week earning, how much more for a monthly income? The question is, would it happen?  :D

1. I think it won't be enough to live on 1500$ for 5 people for all living expenses, expenses, electricity, water, gas… With inflation rate so high around the world, I'm afraid it won't  secure your life anywhere, even if 5 people save maximum cost. 

2. I think a signature campaign is not the way you should choose to maintain such a life.

As someone who currently lives in the Philippines, a third-world country, earning around $1500/week could make you like a millionaire in the country. You could purchase a comfortable condo unit within the heart of the city, get a brand-new car, and enjoy majority of all the high-end restaurants without worrying too much on your expenditures. You can even enrol your son/daughter in a high-quality university. Basically, you can almost live like a king if you have such purchasing power and income generated from such.

I guess this idea follows to all third-world countries in the world. Personally, if I were given the chance to participate in ChipMixer, I would just open a business and most likely live comfortably for the rest of my life.

Oh....that sounds so nice.  As I think I mentioned earlier in this thread, I talk to my local gas station owner all the time, and he's from Bangladesh.  I always ask him what the weather's like over there, and he always tells me it's hot.  It's amusing to me that he hates the cold so much in our state, as I'm sure it's much different than Bangladesh--only sort of amusing, because I've lived here all my life and I can't stand it either.

And wow, that's a very low cost of living.  You can't rent anything but a room in a boarding house for $400/month, and probably not even for that little money.  I'd say the least you'd have to spend is $500/month (depending on what state in the US you're in).  I swear, these fantasies of emigrating to a milder climate and living off the proceeds of bitcoin hustling are growing stronger by the day.  Anyone interested?

Some do, and I certainly would if I had enough money.  Unfortunately I don't, nor do I have anyone to travel with (sadly).  I'd love to check out India and the surrounding countries, and some countries in South America as well--Brazil and Belize in particular.

Ideally,  I've come to also think about the middle east in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) if the religion and culture there will not be a major concern of choice, but deriving a good living in the region will be of a good advantage as the economy situation is fast growing and earning a living is pretty well affordable over there, once you're able to manage up with the little earnings from the campaign and remember to always budget a plan ahead by including miscellaneous.

Knowing all these and having a desiring taste for UAE, their currency which is diram is far below the value of one dollars when converted. I choose to suggest this region as well because of the booming economy over there which allows cryptocurrency to fully operate along with their regulations on a smooth ground. many investors have soughted for UAE following recent war ongoing between Russia and Ukraine, because the digital economy, finance and business technological advancement is steadily increasing and well accomodating for any showcase of the economy. You can as well survive along with family members on a weekly pay of $1500

Always remember this, you don't have to live in a place to acquire a living experience before you can conclude on relocating there, why is because, anywhere you wanted to live comfortably must incure a cost of living lesser than where you're coming from. This will make it affordable to adapt and sustain a living in a new environment, and as such i recommend UAE "Dubai".

I can assume that if you live at my place the signature campaign revenue of $6000 per month seems more than enough for 5 people. That's a huge amount when converted to fiat in my country which is around Rp. 86,000,000 and maybe that's the same amount to pay more than 15 teachers in public schools per month. For a simple life and lifestyle then I'm sure $6000 won't be spent for 5 people in a month, but maybe it will never be enough for those who have a luxurious lifestyle. At least if I can earn $6000 per month, then I can build a house in just 3 months.

The simple idea that a campaign running in a corner of the World Wide Web is capable of having such a deep impact in people who live in third world countries is just mind-blowing to me, in a very positive way. We're talking about people that no matter the amount that they receive from the campaign, it ends up meaning a world to them and the amount deeply impact their lives. More importantly it has a direct effect on the ones they care about (family for example). I'm not saying that the impact on people living in more developed countries isn't something to also be happy about, I'm just stating that these campaigns are providing sustainability - to a bigger degree in some countries - to a household somewhere in the world ...

I hope, however, that people who live in these countries do not rely solely on this (and other alike) campaigns - in the event of their closure it could mean that some dark times could also come to some users. Again, never put your eggs in only a single basket!

Does the idea of solo traveling seem interesting to you? I've got a couple of friends that went to some countries in Europe all around, not because they didn't had company, but simply because they enjoy having the liberty to go "out there" and explore/feel the world all by themselves. It's quite a rewarding experience to be honest.
Also, I'm a bit sad that you didn't mentioned Portugal. It's got an amazing weather and the people are very welcoming and friendly. Here's hoping that you might consider at least one stop in it. ;)

Exactly! It is just truly a privilege that I am currently participating in campaign signatures due to their vast impact on my financials. Given that the nature and value of our currency in our country is relatively low compared to the currency of first-world countries, every bit of dollar counts as it can purchase you with loads of things.

But truly, it is just stunning to experience this kind of privilege and blessing at the same time- which I feel like I have the duty to share this method to my friends as it can impact their lives as much as it impacted mine.


I agree with you. Again, treating campaigns as a form of your primary income is putting oneself in a situation where the sword of Damocles is constantly hanging. It is too difficult to imagine if a person quits his current job in exchange for something that is not temporary in nature.

You can't judge from these sites. These sites usually pick the highest. Cost of living depends on where you choose to and how you live. main part of city? Rent will be higher. Choose few kms from city, rent will be significantly lower and still close to city.


That would be stupidity, here in India high position employees get paid 50k-70k rs/month ($650-$900) in 9-5 jobs.

Moving seem ideal when you have some savings and are earning interest. You can live off that interest in cheaper countries.

1500$ / week in my country is already very extraordinary for small people, middle class because 1500$ is income earned in 1 year,
if 1500$ x 4 (1 month) 1 person joins the signature is more enough to finance 1 family of 4-5 people for up to 1 year even more if used within reasonable limits, not for lifestyle

If you do live on third world countries.
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/third-world-countries

Then for sure you would live abundantly or extravagant with these earnings on weekly/monthly basis but of course it wont be
something on buying everything as you like but this is way more than you could achieve on a normal phase of your live or opportunity.

Truthfully , it's hard to us to gain that much salary and it's only for campaigns. But I think if we use our knowledge in many aspect in this forum that kind of salary still can't get . Maybe if he is in professional in many ways. I hope someday someone guides me to improve myself here in forum. Then if I got 1500$ weekly , I say that I surely can live like a king only in my country because the living cost here is very minimal.

This a bloody hell of racks, in my country Nigeria, that amount sums too 4,200,000 million naira in five week's.
If you come to my Country where they do worship money, I think you'll have a comfortable one here in the right areas like Abuja, Largos and Uyo.
And Also you're indirectly a king, you should leave  the life of two king's, cause that's a huge sum.
Although if I get this, sure leaving the trenches  ;D
Yeah, you can leave double of the life you want down my ends.

$1500/week is income which when measured by the standard of living in my country is more than enough, it can even be said to be a rich person, especially if it takes place regularly in one year. If I imagine it, of course with that large income I can diversify it in the form of property which may later be used as passive income. That way I will get two benefits, where the property price will be higher, on the other hand I will get rent, maybe monthly or yearly. and what needs to be noted is that my lifestyle must remain simple, so that the longer it takes to achieve financial freedom, because family financial management also determines our future.

Don't just buy clothes for no reason, buy clothes for particular occasions... so you don't buy unnecessary things you don't need. if you have less clothes that are important, you will have less clothes to launder.

To be a king doesn't always mean that you should spend extravagantly.

[/quote]

King's are proud, they can't help but flag how wealthy they're.

The Pharmacist, I can say that you can live like a king here if you earn $1500 per week from signature campaign. That's a tough amount for me to spend for a week even though it's for 5 people assuming not buying luxury items. I think $300 per person for a week is more than enough to cover daily needs where I believe 50% of it can be saved for investment and others.

But of course it all depends on how they spend their money, how they manage their finances. But during inflation I think the need per individual is much higher than usual. But generally $1500 per week is an income that can guarantee you a happy life in my country. Are you interested in moving here?  :D

I believe you should consider South East Asian countries, which are typically third world countries such as the Philippines, where the cost of living is low because renting a small boarding house here was around $40/month (this is a decent one, you will have your own room a shared kitchen and bathroom), renting a whole house here is mostly $200, with the bills sometimes being free and also wifi depending on your landlord, but the problem is very low salary, with the minimum wage being only $1.25 an hour. I saw a lot of Americans visiting our country because of the climate and also they knew that Filipinos are very accommodating to visitors.

Every country has its exchange rate per dollar for its currency. The country of your residence will determine what will be the exchange rate of $300 per week. In some countries, mostly African countries. $300 per week is a big money, although the higher the dollar rate to its currency, the costlier the things in the country will be. Someone receiving $300 per week will be living above the average. He or she will be counting him or herself among the rich people living in the society

i live in a country where the minimum spending for people here is $600/month, i don't think it's too comfortable a place for those who only expect income from a sig campaign.  but for those who earn $300/week ^{(sig chipmixer campaign member)}, imo it's enough because a month can make $1200. 

There is really none, and people forget that living like a king is relevant to where you are. If you think that you could "live like a king" in Zimbabwe or Venezuela, you are forgetting the main reason why they are poor, it is not just lack of money in the people, its lack of "stuff". Do you really think that you could go there, and buy a ps5 that easily? I mean even if you have the money for it? Or you could go there and have a luxury food? Order sushi from somewhere?

These are pretty regular normal stuff for an American. Forget about living like a king, just learn to live a decent and happy life in a great nation, that can be the real goal for a common man (at least in my born and brought up). You cannot be a mid income person in the USA or UK with just signature earning, that's for sure.

Well, I didn't state it outright but I'm making the assumption that I would bring all of my possessions with me to wherever it is I can wear my crown (lol).  And I'm going to make a further assumption that if I needed something like a PS5 I could buy it online and have it delivered.  Am I wrong in that assumption?  I don't know if Newegg or Amazon ships to Zimbabwe or Venezuela, but I can't imagine those countries don't have people buying stuff online.

I'd love to go to Zimbabwe, by the way.  I've read stories of the bush and its climate, and a lot of that appeals to me.

Yeah, but it'd be $1500 per week for 5 people, so $300 apiece.  I could easily spend that probably wherever the castle is located.  I don't know what country you're in (I probably forgot) but it sounds like $300/week would go a long way.

And that's the thing about living in the US.  $300/week is a pittance if you don't want to live like a bum, buying cheap food and never having enough extra to buy things you want as opposed to the necessities.  Somebody tell me where there's a castle, mansion, chateau, hacienda, whatever that can be bought for a decent price where the weather is warm at least 3/4 of the year.  Pleeeease.

Bro, people worship at the same altar in the US--just look at all the American Youtubers flashing their bling and making a killing by filming themselves speaking illiterately about inane topics.  How many people are cashing in on the Will Smith slappening right now and making bank?  Tons.

No matter how big the rate of dollar in your country but the items there are pricey, it will still be the same then? 300 dollar per week is indeed a hell lot of money already not only in Africa but anywhere you are in the world although that can only apply if you are a low earner but for someone that earns huge money, 300 dollar per week can be nothing for them.

Earning 300 dollar per week is still not enough though to call yourself rich even if you live in poor places but the earnings of a real rich man can be higher than that. It's amazing that a signature campaign alone can make someone's life easier but they should give out their best when posting.

If you choose an agrarian country as a place to live, like the average Southeast Asian country, you will get many choices of cities with low basic needs. The reason is, most types of food staples are produced by the farmers in the village and not only do you get a discounted (negotiable) price by buying directly from the farmers, you also get it fresh (the king's way of life is to get the freshest food possiblein his own garden). Then there you can even support 4 other friends for $300/month.

Now let's say from $1200/month salary, you can set aside $900/month. Within a year (after enduring the desire to live like a king) you will be able to buy a piece of fertile land to produce your own food staples (according to nutritional standards) for a lifetime. It may only cost $100-150 for maintenance and paying land workers.

Nigeria would have given a fair luxury if production quality for local product was stable enough. In this part of western Africa we have decline in quality of finished goods due to high cost of production so many resort to producing in quantity to meet the demand other than quality.

This will likely warrant spending in dollars other than the local Nigerian Naira so it will be more like spending more to get the best because you will still have to pay for importation fee except one will decide to settle for an average life but for luxury or even a menial comfort you will spend more not because the exchange rate is too bad but the quality of product isn't matching up the inflation rate

$1500 for a companion of five people living in a well furnished room can be possible but you will only spend more if you insist on quality. But nevertheless there will always be reservations and savings but bear in mind that quality is not a normalcy and is gotten a rare case of strict demand

Democratic republic of Sao Tome and Principe is an island country in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial cost of Central Africa. If you are looking for a place to live as a king, I bet you this country is your best option. 1 USD is equivalent to approximately 20,901 Db, $1500 should equate 31,351,500 Db. If you are looking for a place to live quietly and really comfortably, this is your best bet.
Although, there are other African countries whose exchange rate with regards to dollar is really. Countries like Nigeria with an exchange rate of 570 naira to 1USD and $1500 to 855,000 naira although on the black market, although its official exchange rate is 415.72 naira to 1USD and $1500 to 632,580 naira. Kenya with its exchange rate of 1dollar to 115.05 shillings and $1500 to 172,575 shillings, Sierra Leonean Leone with its exchange rate of 1dollar to 11,874.82 Sierra Leonean Leone and $1500 to 178,230.59 Sierra Leonean Leone etc.

<and how does one go about getting citizenship?>
Being a citizen of any county have mostly the same requirements, and African countries are not excepted. these i believe are most of the requirement to be a citizen of any of these country.
•   By Birth
•   Decent
•   Marriage
•   By Naturalization. By Naturalization I mean the person would have to fulfill the following conditions
1) you should have resided in the country for at least five years,
2) must be a legal adult
3) know the language
4) practice good morality and have good integrity
5) has renounced previous citizenship
6) have a viable means of support
7) obtain approval of the Ministry of Justice.

Uh, you might have wanted to cite the source you pulled that info from, because you left a piece of end-quote code in that post that indicates it came from elsewhere. 

OK, that sounds nice as has many of the other suggestions I've gotten here, but you and everyone else neglected to mention the climate.  Our campaign castle must be located in a place where the weather is good (and I mean warm and precipitation-free for most of the year) in addition to all the economic factors.  I know how it goes in most of Europe, Africa, and S. America, but I'm not familiar with the climate in most of Asia (except for Russia, but only parts of it).  It's important to me.

Thailand? Where you can lead decent life for $6000 per month and probably can live like a king as well, have you heard of Pattaya walking street that is one of the place where every men wants to visit. I watched lot of vlogs you can get decent suite for yourself or couple for $50 per night means $1500 for 30 days but if you are going to take a rental home that is going to be lot cheaper.

And I had seen even you can complete your meal for a day in less than $10 from vloggers so that is my pick. :D

Pack your stuff and take a week off to visit Indonesia, I can guarantee you will enjoy life like a king if your current monthly income is $6000.  ;D

There are many small towns in Indonesia that have friendly residents for them a tourist, I think that's justified because I'm sure some forum members have also been to Indonesia. Also you can choose a place where the weather is like you want. Are you interested?

 Well depends on the signature campaign isn't it? What is the highest paid one right now? Chipmixer paying around 300$ per week?

 Let us do a calculation.

 300$ per week for 52 weeks equals to = 15,600$
 Divide that to 12 to see per month
 15600/12 = 1300$ per month

 The minimum salary legally is 4250 Turkish Lira here. Which is 289$ as of today. That changes constantly because dollar keeps on rising. But let us take that into consideration.

 1300$/289$ = 4.5 times higher.

 Which means that you could earn 4.5 times more than what a minimum salary worker could earn, simply by working on chipmixer and nothing else. Obviously crypto is filled with chances, there are bounties, there are airdrops, so you could earn something more in the end.

 However, if you are looking for something more serious, the avarage is usually 100$ per week for legendary. To calculate that

 100$per week for 52 weeks = 5200$ total.
 5200$/12= 433$ per month.

 Which means in a nation with 289$ minimum salary, you would be able to make 433$ per month. Not bad of course, definitely better than %50 of the nation. Plus your income is in dollars which means that even if the nation does worse, and everyone starts earning less, you are still making dollars so you should be fine. But it is also not "like kings" as well in that case.

 The taxes here are super high, a car that is sold for like 10-20 thousand dollars in the USA or the UK could be as much as 100k here because of the insane taxes, or houses that you can rent for 200-300$ would be sold for $250k here. Aside from those "big" purchases, regular life should be fine for sure. Not great, not a lot, but "fine".

 So I would say that Turkey is a place where you could definitely live without a problem if you owned a legendary account. You will want more, its never enough, its not going to be enough to make you happy, but you will not be living badly, there are like 40 million people living worse than a regular legendary account owner, and maybe like 60+ million people living worse compared to someone who is enrolled to chipmixer. So you would definitely be doing fine even if not like kings.

 There are waaaay more serious reasons why you shouldn't come here though :D
 

Sir, come rain come sun,the weather/climate is always warm, you don't really need heater/warmers innnit.
Like I said earlier on, I don't know how quick you want this, but one thing I'm sure of is that you can get a four bedrooms for nothing less than 33, million naira at Lekki phase 1 Lagos state here in Nigeria, the security there is high despite the insecurities in Nigeria.

Buh if the above mentioned is not fancied, then you can get a plot of land there, get a contractor and get a the mansion, chateau hacienda you have up in your head over to the contractor. But this will sure take time before it's completed, might take 8-9 months.
Cost of leaving ain't too high, and you can get whatever meal you want, since you're American I guess.

Not just only in Nigeria, but anywhere in Africa $1500 is a lot of money that even some government senior civil servant don't earn up to that as allowance.  This money can be used to get good apartments and buy a good ride within 4 months. Such allowance can yield more income in place like Nigeria or Ghana if invested in business to get a piece of land to build rented apartments because this two places in africa is a place to live well enjoyable life because the fast growing economy and the good weather conditions. 

$1500 for allowance is a reasonable amount of money for a man to live as a king with is family, and if it is well spent and invested very well it can turn one to be a young millionaire within some some years.

Come live in Nigeria, with such earnings you'll be treated as a mini god here and to add to it, if those 5 individuals are white, you get more god-like privileges. I believe some of my country men must have broken down the cost of living in the country so I won't have to go into details but do know that, with such earnings, you can afford to live comfortably in one of the most secured and protected state in the country which is our capital Abuja. Yes Nigeria don't have constant night but not everywhere, with that kind of earnings you can get yourself a luxury house in any of the estates located in the Federal capital of the country and have access to good road, constant light, sucurity, healthier hospital etc.

Abuja is the ground for luxury lifetime and you'll neighbors to most of our celebrities and important figures.  $1500 is #877,500 in Naira based on the cryptocurency rate which is 585 Naira per dollar (yes that's how bad it has gotten). This means you'll be receiving 3.5million monthly which is higher than what 99% of the citizens in the country are earning. You could also live comfortably in Lagos with same privilege but that state is crowded and you'll have to spend more to have same comfortably as living in Abuja. Example, you'll need a private jet for easier movement because the road are always crowded due to over population. $1500 weekly is a big money and if anyone from Nigerian was to get such privilege then they're set for life.

Like what I also previously mentioned, the cost of living in the Philippines is relatively cheap compared to other South East Asia countries. Unfortunately, the minimum wage of our country is around p537.00 (~$11)/day and majority of the people are below the average income median. With this in mind, lots of tourists visit the country in which there are also foreigners who migrate and live in this country.

Since in essence, the value of currency is relative per country, you could say that participating into campaign signatures are privileges that our citizens seek. Having that convenience of working online and at the same time earning/investing is a blessing to everyone in our country.

I haven't back read all of the pages but if you're concerned about the weather, to give you an idea about the climate in our country Philippines, we're a tropical country and right now we're in summer. So this usually happens from the month of March up to the last week of May and then starting the month of June there go the rainy days. As per statistics of how many storms/typhoons come into our country, it goes by the estimation of 20 per year. And starting from "ber" months, September to December there goes the cold/windy weather, not actually cold but this for me is the best season and it usually extends up to the month of February. So playing in the calendar, if it's about the typhoon, it's unknown where it's going to hit unless it's already inside the PAR (Philippine Area of Responsibility). It's always being reported if a typhoon is seen in the Pacific Ocean approaching the Philippine Sea. So if you have to consider staying in here with that budget of $1500 for 5 pax or $300 per pax/week, as said by others it's already that much and one tip, choose the place that's actually flood-free. Fortunately, I'm in a flood-free place. There are now some rural places that are being developed near the metro of each part of our country (Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao). The central is found in Luzon which is the NCR and there are cities in this region that are prone to flooding, well, most of the floods are like reaching your knee for some normal rains.

The main problem here is not the fact that you can't buy online, maybe you can and I do not know. But the signature campaign doesn't pay a lot. Even the best one right now has like 1200 dollars this means that they are going to allow you to live like a king in the regular sense, but when you want to buy like a PS5 then you gonna spend 300+ dollars, plus a high tax probably because you are in a bad nation, so maybe half or over the half will go there, there are nations (where I live) that will take literally 2x of it as taxes, so you would pay 900 for it.

This is the trouble, if you already have stuff that's fine, but when you want to buy it, with the signature campaign, even on the best one, you would be doing badly.

A high standard of living and luxury vehicles at the same time even in poor countries is not possible, especially when we take 5 people in account. You can make saving alone and it would even take years to buy luxury items but I think you misunderstand some aspects of product prices in poor countries. For example, if Sporty BMW is worth $40,000 in Germany, its price will be slightly lower or higher in other countries, even if the country is diving into poverty because you know, the product is sold to the highest bidders and business doesn't know empathy like this: Oh, this country is poor, we should give our cars to them at cheap prices.


There are many problems that you may face in "Cheap Countries":

• High rate of corruption and nepotism
• There is a high chance that crime rates are higher than in developed nations (I don't mean the USA)
• Language barrier (especially in post-soviet countries if you don't know Russian or the local language)
• The different culture of having fun
• Not all cities/towns in poor countries have GYMs or swimming pools.
• In countries where major society lives poor, everyone will chance to rob you! Believe me!
• Streets may be dirtier with bad public transport (if any)
• You may become a victim of racism and it will be far more visible than it's in your developed country
• It may be hard for you and those 5 people to make friends.
• There may be serious stigma around Drugs in the society and you may find it even very hard and expensive to get them.

Seriously, there are things that we don't appreciate and don't understand. Everything has a price, different one but the rewarding ones always cost more.
You are either lucky and born in Switzerland or life sucks!

The sad fact in Europe is that people in IT industries are paid very low compared to the USA market and our tax rates are just insane, I know it has its huge pros compared to the USA but things are mandatory even if you don't need them or aren't afraid of them and you can't improve yourself, you can't become rich. You can just live a happy normal life but if you are ambitious, just forget it.

There are places on the globe which does have big conversion of their local currency from USD which it would really be looking that big whenever you do really earn on USD value and since we know that signature campaigns does really have good rates thats why it would really be that normal that people who do live on this areas would really be focusing on getting a slot.
You wont really live like a king but you would really be having a decent way of living in terms of finance but of course we know that campaigns shouldnt be treated as main jobs.

Thailand might be a good choice as far as climate goes, and I'd certainly consider it on that basis, but $6k/month for a decent life?  Hell, I could have that right here in the good old US of A if I had that much income.  Lol.  I don't.  That's why my semi-fantasy crypto paradise castle has to be located in a country where the cost of living is cheap.  It doesn't sound like it is in Thailand--and I'd be able to eat just fine for $10 in the US too.

I bet it is, given what you've said about the average income, which pales in comparison to what you could make in a decent sig campaign.  So assuming the climate and cost of living boxes are checked off as far as the Philippines goes, is there a possibility of buying or renting a very large house that's free of insects, has stable electricity and internet, and isn't going to be a target for local gangs (I don't know if there are any, but I'd assume a bunch of foreigners in a castle would be eyed with suspicion if not outright hostility.  That could be said of many countries.)?

Also: do houses in the Philippines typically have basements--or do basements exist there at all?  There are parts of the US where basements can't be built, so I know they don't exist everywhere.

For the purposes of this thread (and speaking for myself only), let's assume that I have pretty much all I need already in terms of possessions, which I'd bring with me to the castle.

WOW!  But Turkey is out of the question for reasons you and I both know.  I've no grievances with Turks, but I doubt any Americans are going to be moving into a Turkish town and trying to roll around like bosses with cigars, booze, women, and whatever else the Chipmixer funds can buy.

Oh it is definitely possible! To give you a concrete example, my cousin rents a two-storey house in which he pays around $300/month. The place is semi-furnished and the house is located on a relatively safe village where security guards patrol the said area.

In addition to the said house, my college friend rented a condominium unit (kindly refer to the image below) in which he also paid roughy $280-$320/month inclusive of association dues in which the said unit is secured by dozens of security guards everywhere. It also has a pool, public amenities, etc.

As far as I know, houses that have basements are usually owned by people who are living above the median household. Of all the houses that I have visited, I have yet to see a house with a basement.

Surely average signature campaigns are enough for the good life, but living like a king is an open-ended definition. You can have a life above the standard of living of ordinary people. It wasn't like this before. Especially in the last 6 months, the rise in the US Dollar/Turkish Lira currency has caused this. Not so long ago, last November, USD was half of its current price. I remember when Legendary accounts earned less than minimum wage. So this may be a temporary situation. Just don't rely on it here.
One thing is for sure, the opportunities in crypto are endless.

The country is geographically in a very beautiful location, but political actors don't let people breathe. Even if you have money, you lack many freedoms, including freedom of speech, which is a valid reason not to live here. To put it simply, it's forbidden to access many sites without using a VPN. It's forbidden to pass many products through customs or there are very expensive taxes. As you said, buying a house and a car is next to impossible because of taxes. The healthcare system is very expensive. Public officials are corrupt. The refugee problem -almost 5 million?- is huge etc. It's enough to have an ordinary life though. If you are not a luxury lover, you can live with signature campaign money.

Well I can honestly (and sadly) confirm there is like 20-30$ difference left between my signature campaign gain and monthly wage in Turkey. And I am working in a guarenteed job which can be said that paying at average level for Anatolian cities. It is so sad that Turkey became like this, in past retired wages were more than 500$, many people was getting paid more than $1000 at least like 10-15 years ago. Now 1000 dollar is like a dream for many new graduated people. Especially costs are increased and even if you make 1000$ you won't feel that safe. Anyways, with forum income of legendary account, you can 'survive' if you don't pay rent.

This is exactly why I said there are way more serious reasons why you shouldn't consider turkey :D I mean it would be financially possible, I am doing it myself and I can tell you that its not too bad, I am in full time crypto and trying to earn any buck I could and have been a content writer for almost 6 years and never worked in an office, pure crypto content writing including signature campaigns as well and I have been living a decent life. But I am turkish, so its where I am from, for you? I would stay away as much as possible :D


I agree, its also not really "possible" to live with just signature campaign, even if you have a legendary account, because the "possibility" and willingness are different things. Could you live and not die? Yes, but that is no way of living if you ask me. I make over a grand every month, just a little, you could say I make 1k, and even with that I have nothing left, and I "live", there are people working for 300 bucks a month and they survive, they do not live, they just simply stay alive, those are different things. Living like kings requires more like 5k a month, which you could really live like kings for sure.

Good thing is, when the dollar was low, the prices was low, so I was capable of living the same exact life 6 months ago, 1 year ago, 3 years ago, and even today, yes life became more expensive, but dollar went up, so my wage got up, so I am living the same exact life as I did for the past 4 years.

Do you mean receiving $1500 a week? This is a huge sum of amount that can even buy a clean car in my country. This is a luxury pay and even if it is the total pay of family of five, it's still good for the whole family. For you to receive this kind of pay my country as a work, you'll have to be a manager or probably a politician.

There are lots of things you can do with the huge sum of $1500 in my region, like it can get you a plot of land maybe in a remote area. You can leave a luxury life here with beautiful babes if you are a bachelor. So many things to acquire with such amount of money.

I live in Indonesia and the average salary of people here is $200 - $300/month. just imagine if you earn $70/week from a signature campaign (I use the rate on legendary member rewards in many BTC paid campaigns) then you can live comfortably here, especially if you have other side income, your income will increase 2x or 3x.

Even if the current signature campaigns today are paying well, but its never advisable to make it as a priority and be a sole source of income. Even if you live in countries where there is low cost of living, the funds we get from signature campaigns are not sufficient enough. However, if you treat it as another source of income, that will be more great. I believe working in signature campaigns alone will never give you a very comfortable life, but working in it as another source of income, there will always be high probability that it will give you a comfortable life.

Yes, you could settle down in India and live like a king with $1500 earnt per month through your family. I'd suggest you find a great place in Bengaluru where you could get a posh place to live along with security for a rent of around $600 per month. The groceries are cheap and you can call in food and squeeze everything in with the next $400-$800 depending on how you spend and still have some cash left at the end of it. India might be considered as a third world country and there might be a few riots here and there, but you can always find a safe place with enough guards to look after you.

You would be fucked up hard if you do make signature campaigns as a main income because we know that it do only last for few weeks, if in luck then you would able to be on a campaign for a year or couple but it wont really be lasting forever thats why it isnt really that good for you to rely on.

For side income or extra then it isnt really a bad idea to have.In third world country living then this kind of pay would really be putting you on a decent life but of course everything does have its end if ever you do able to reach out that situation.

There are many places around the world where you could survive on that sort of money. Infact outside of Europe and North America, along with a few other high cost places to live like Australia, it can actually be a huge sum of money. However it is all relative, you might be able to "live like a king" in certain places, but even then you would end up more like a slum lord in some dirt poor village. I would much rather live a comfy life, maybe in the cheaper parts of Europe, and pick up a part time job to boost earnings, rather than move to a place where you might even need to hire security and you would constantly be looking over your shoulder out of fear.

If he finds himself in an area where he can't buy ps5 easily means that is a very remote area and with the amount of money he presumably earn per week he shouldn't be in such area don't you think?
With that amount he can live very comfortably in any major city of most of the third world countries and be able to buy ps5 or order sushi easily  ;)


These things you mentioned are also very regular to the average person in most third world countries, and by regular I mean not earning close to the amount mentioned, I honestly do not know why you think these things will be hard to get, all you need do is get a place in the right location and you will be surprise what you can get.

Plus I love the idea, I think changing location is a good thing because it gives an opportunity to explore and understand the world better. Although am not sure about sustaining that idea with earnings from signature campaign only. @The pharmacist I hope you will get the capital to fulfill your desire soon.

Wowza!  In New York City you can't even rent a hotel room for a night if you only had $300 in your wallet, and I don't think there are any apartments in the US of more than one room that are going for $300/month.  That kind of boggles my mind.  However, I've lived in apartments that were managed by "associations" and I can't say I liked the business model very much.  I'd much rather buy a free-standing house and not rent anything--and I would not want security guards around unless they'd been hired by my castle staff.

Huh.  So you're saying they exist in the Philippines but are only in the more expensive dwellings?  That'd work.

I'm about ready to lock up this thread.  I've enjoyed hearing all of your suggestions and this has helped me distribute a lot of merits--no doubt that's why I got so many replies, but I didn't just merit posts indiscriminately.  And if anyone would like to join my signature campaign posse in as close to a paradise as can be achieved, give it some thought.  My fantasies grow more intense by the day.

By request I'm unlocking this thread for further discussion--and I probably should have just kept it going anyway since it fuels my fantasies and is like retirement porn for me (lol). 

And yeah, I realize word's gotten around that there's a merit jamboree happening all up in this piece, but I'm only meriting posts that have obviously had some thought put into them.

Some of you may remember that infamous picture that's been posted a few times on the forum, which shows a bunch of people sitting around a table with their computers, at least one of which has bitcointalk on the screen.  Well, I'm looking to create an upscale version of that....whatever it was.  Probably a shitposting farm.  If my small group were in such a photograph, there would be leather chairs, cigars, and a finely-carved oak door leading to the wine cellar.

I'd also like to point out that $1500/week divided between five people isn't the maximum income that could be achieved.  Sig campaigns would be the primary source, but there could also be some mining or other crypto-related activities adding to the coffers.  So keep that in mind when you're posting.

For sure, I am glad that you have unlocked this thread because as you mentioned, I think that batting around ideas in this topic can appeal to a lot of possible scenarios besides merely the signature campaign income and even sharing cost with 5 guys.. as one of the earlier posters had mentioned.. why the fuck would you want to live with other people if you could live pretty well on your own with your own portion of the signature campaign income?

Don't get me wrong.  To some degree, I do appreciate the idea of sharing costs, and for sure, if you had not yet reached a kind of high enough level of savings - such as reaching a kind of fuck you status, then for sure, you can save money as you are still stacking away savings in order to be able to live off without having to worry about income from external sources, whether that's a signature campaign or some other forms of income that you might have.

I have also heard quite a few theories that make sense to me is to earn your money in western countries, and go to retire in lower income countries where you will not need as much money to maintain your previous standard of living.

By the way.. I did go back and merit a couple of your posts, The Pharmacist.. and part of the reason that I had not merited them previously was because I had noticed that you had locked the thread.. so I was harboring some passive/aggressive resentment about that... hahahahahaha

Of course, another angle that makes this whole thread to be a great topic would be that in about the last nearly two years, I had been asserting that in western countries, we need to move our entry-level fuck you status level up from $1 million to $2 million... which has some presumptions of having to have a passive income of more than $6k per month rather than $3k per month in order to feel comfortable pulling the fuck you lever (meaning quitting your job and living off of your passive income - in a western country).

So far this thread seems to have allowed for a lot of discussion regarding how it may well still be quite feasible to live way below what I had suggested to be entry-level fuck you status in the west..... and guys here are considering incomes of less than $1k per month to have the potential for living pretty well in some places.  So in that regard, the actual examples (even if not specifically applicable in the west) might be providing some on-the-ground experiential evidence that the fuck you entry-level can practically be adjusted to pretty low levels in some parts of the world, and whether that would be realistic may well have to do with what kinds of “giving things up” trade offs that guys might be willing to undertake, and surely each place has its plusses or minuses whether we are referring to infrastructure, safety or even the exotic factor (which could cause benefits and costs)…

For sure, if we might be able to live quite comfortably with $300 or $500 per month, it still might be good to have $1k per month in order to maintain an emergency fund, continue to invest, or for sure there would be some need to account for possible traveling costs from time to time that many times would need to be saved up if we might choose to live in a part of the world that is far away from what we had already had as a family and built some friends, perhaps? 

I am not even sure if there would be any necessity to increase luxury levels upon retirement, but those would be individualized matters to consider.  For example, some folks do want to travel more if they were to retire - which surely there can be ways that traveling ends up being a kinds of expensive hobby to maintain, even if it might not have to be if long-term rather than short-term lodging rentals are part of the traveling package.  For sure many of us realize that if we rent longer term, we may well pay only a fraction of the price of a short-term rental.. and surely levels of furnishing changes the pricing as well.


When I first came across this thread, my initial thought was that the income from a signature campaign would be too unstable and too uncertain to really rely upon, and personally, I have always considered that any budget that any of us develops should attempt to account for various income sources changing or drying up, and in some sense, it can really take a while to be able to build enough of a savings to then later be comfortable to live off of the passive income from that savings... but gosh with so many examples of being able to live fairly comfortable with sub $1k per month living expenses, there still could be ways to continue to save while living in those lower cost areas, but still if your income did all of a sudden dry up, then you may well have to have some where in the ball park of $300k plus saved up in order to somewhat reliably be able to have a passive income for that.. and maybe I am getting beyond the topic if I am arguing the different ways that passive incomes may well be sustainable. .and how much might be needed to have them be sustainable... and for sure, guys want to do it for way less than some of the cushion numbers that I suggest to be minimum levels to have assurances of sustainability of such passive income without depleting the principle.

Man, don't make me regret I unlocked this thread--I think I've explained the scenario that's been playing out in my head in enough detail such that anyone who can read would be able to understand what I'm talking about. 

Five members.  Each member earns $300/week in the Chipmixer campaign (best case scenario).  Use advanced calculus and integrate all of that info, and you get $1500 total--but that's for all five members.  In addition to that, there could be some GPU or ASIC mining happening as a side hustle (but not in the basement where my crib will be located), and there's also whatever money we bring with us to our paradise.

Got it?

One reason would be that I'd be moving to a foreign country with no friends or family, and having at least a few people with a shared interest would make the move much easier.  Plus I'm talking about living in a Big Effing House and that's something too expensive for me all by myself.  Otherwise, you're right:  I'd much prefer to live by myself.

Fuck-you status is a state of mind IMO, not a number representing how many dollars or crypto you have.  Even people locked up in prison with no money whatsoever can have enough balls to tell the guards to go fuck themselves, consequences be what they may.  If you're looking at life through the lens of a 9-5 worker bee, sure, you can't jump on your boss's desk and piss in his trash bin.  But if you're a psychotic nihilist with a pseudo-Buddhist mindset like me, there's nothing standing in my way of yelling FUCK YOU to the world atop the Empire State building.

I really appreciate the reopening of this insightful thread and i see it relevance even at the current econmy downside going on globally with inflation everywhere, discussions here could just be a solution to someone's economic challenges amidst the ongoing global crisis, one thing i see most people missed out is on how to derive a means to make all ends meet, managing economy for survival is what is very important in decision making, many don't know how to plan and budget themselves but this thread will give a guide through in achieving a good financial plan for oneself and the entire family as the case maybe.

This is the best time to re-strategize and cut cost of living expenses, we noticed how fiat currency are going down as a result of inflation but the value of bitcoin is still maintained despite volatility, and i see the need in the maximization of this opportunity to evade the effect of the economy clampdown, it's not necessary that one must find a living in a developing countries before they can leave like a king via their signature campaign, I've seen people doing pretty good in the remote areas of a developed country because they know how to manage things and cut cost appropriately in other to meet up to a living standard.

For sure, I was being a bit provocative in the way that I asked the question, and surely there could be some advantages in sharing some of the resources and common spaces to possibly get more bang for the buck, overall.

I understand that there could be quite a few different variables too, and for example, renting through AirBnb may well be 2x to 5x higher prices than you might be able to find on the regular market in any given place, but one of the conveniences of AirBnb is that you can customize the length of time that you stay, get a commitment ahead of time, be able to get a pretty good idea what you are getting and frequently see reviews of prior guests, and some kind of an arrangement like that might cost more in the interim and then be able to identify some deals that are better bang for the buck.

Another way might be if one or two guys go in advance, and then scout out the area in a way to be able to pick a location that fits the bill, and for sure I use the word "guys" on purpose, so whether you are "guys" or "gals", you are likely going to be in a better situation not to be mixing it up, unless the couples that might be involved are solid.. but the more I think about it, the more possibilities of drama with more people involved including that sometimes there are going to be pretty big flakes in the group, and then if too much drama is created, then it could cause drama/tension/or even dissolution of group members, leaving 1-2 guys having to cover the bills (and picking up the fall out) of what had been intended to be 5 guys.  So, many variables, and surely sometimes the savings and conveniences of having guys to help out could sometimes outweigh some of the costs of the drama possibilities, too.


Surely, you might be considering this entry-level fuck you status matter in ways that are different from how I had been attempting to frame it.  Of course, there can be aspects in which guys have better negotiation positions, and they might be able to control the various terms of their employment of their contract relations because they are in a good bargaining position regarding skills, experiences, references, etc.

I was largely attempting to use the concept of entry-level fuck you status as a way to describe when a guy is able to sever work completely - and largely just live off of the income that is generated from savings/investments without having to work.  I am not talking about living off the principle, but only from the income generation of the whole package of the investment... so in some sense when I already mentioned that $1 million or $2 million, it could be presumed that $1 million of principle should be able to generate $3,333 per month of income (that is $1 million * 4% = $40k / 12).  $2 million should be able to generate double that amount of $6,666 per month.  

Of course, entry-level is ultimately described by the guy entering into such status and I really consider the matter to be problematic for a guy to be believing that he is entering into fuck you status, but has to come back with his tail between his legs because he has not adequately calculated his own situation.  By the time, any guy is ready to pull the fuck you lever, he should have a pretty damned good idea regarding how much money he needs on a regular basis to either maintain his accustomed standard of living or to live at the standard of living that he expects.

For sure, if a guy is merely at entry-level fuck you status then there might well not be as much room to work with in regards to ensuring that s/he is able to cover all expenses and even to make sure that an emergency fund is maintained. and for sure accounting for increases in the cost of living should already be attempted to be baked into his calculations, and so surely there are ways to figure out the variables with a sufficient amount of confidence or even to calculate the volatility of the various assets that are held in order to not be putting oneself into a position that there would be a need to go back to working, unless that were to be completely voluntary.

Maybe I should not suggest it is easy to calculate, but instead that there are ways to calculate to attempt to account for a variety of extremes that could happen and also to figure out the ways to allocate assets and investments and/or to calculate the allocations that ultimately end up having a sufficient cushion that the fuck you lever is not pulled too prematurely.


 I really believe that I was not considering the fuck you status concept in that kind of a way.. well not completely anyhow, because I was trying to tie the fuck you status idea to economic abilities to sustain oneself with passive income from the investment and surely not to be worried about if certain work-related cashflows were to dry up.. or maybe some of the work-related cashflows would be sporadic and completely voluntary rather than regular and relied upon.

We know that there are all kinds of areas in life in which we might be in a position to negotiate our other kinds of relationships in a fuck you status kind of way, and surely levels of wealth and autonomy would allow the ability to engage in that kind of employment of fuck-you in a variety of circumstances - like for example if a business is a largest in a community and the community is reliant upon the business, so the business can sometimes get away with way more than what normies have to tolerate - and I had been attempting to consider the matter more narrowly in regards to personal economic power to be able to pretty much continue to live your accustomed standard of living without relying on any employer or employment.

By the way, many of us likely realize that so many young people in the 20s and 30s will frequently conduct themselves as if they have the world by the balls and if they are going to be ballers into their future, yet by the time that so many folks get into their late 40s, 50s and 60s, they may well realize that they had not adequately/sufficiently prepared themselves in such a way that they would be able to stop working.. so they may end up trying to figure out ways to play catch up and maybe coming to the realization that they had not been sufficiently/adequately preparing to enter into a kind of fuck you status.

There surely can be compounding effects in regards towards savings that could take place in a guys 20s and 30s and that would really start to show themselves by the time a guy gets into his 50s and later, but frequently what ends up happening is that guys will either not keep building principle, but dip into principle at various times to invest or consume with that principle, and it can be really difficult to build principle back, even if a younger guy might have a bit of a cocky mindset in that direction in terms of believing that he can build back whatever principle that he depletes along his/her life's journey in which age does come upon you in sneaky kinds of ways.


You may well be getting back to negotiating power that comes with having had built skills and abilities through experiences.

Also, what is your standard of living?  It might be all fine and dandy to yell fuck you to the world, but if you get into your 40s, 50s, 60s, you might not be in a physical and energy level to live in flexible kinds of ways.  Your body might not tolerate some of the crazy abilities of a younger guy.  I have had some personal experiences in that direction, and it can be very surprising how much your aging body might not be able to tolerate some of the extremes that it had been able to tolerate during younger years.  I do understand that there are some guys who act like animals into their 50s and 60s and are able to get away with it without seeming to have large diminutions in energy, and so I understand that there could be some luck and genetics that play out well for some folks, but still seems to me that a guy is going to be in a much better place to have some financial backup plans that are building up, so that s/he has some of those kinds of cushions when getting into his late 40s and beyond.

Regarding the 9-5 drone, I am not sure.  Some jobs are more dead end than others, and some jobs do provide a decent income and benefits to build upon, and surely, the trade offs between what kinds of education and skills that guys have and/or how much they might get trapped into some kind of a dead end job or a job that does not end up giving them geographical mobility, can surely vary in terms of how a guy might use such a job, if he is even able to get one (if it were to be preferred for some in some circumstances).


I personally believe that any guy who considers investment levels has to really get some good grasps on his own finances in regards to how much he needs to live, to have an emergency fund and then to figure out how much to invest on an ongoing basis and into which assets....

A decent starting out guide might be to allocate at least 10% of any income towards investing and savings, and of course, I am not too excited about anything besides bitcoin, but surely guys would come to other decisions in that regard.  So in the very beginning the guy is building up his investment portfolio principle, and then maybe once it gets to a certain size (such as $50k or larger), then it can be diversified beyond having just bitcoin in it.

Of course, some guys will come into bitcoin and they will already have other investments, and they will have already built an investment portfolio, so for guys in that situation, then there becomes some calculations that may well be needed in terms of how much to allocate into various assets with hopefully having a goal to reach some level of fuck you status at some point (meaning having some ideas about how much that he needs to live off of the income from his investment portfolio - or just continue to build such investment portfolio until he gets into the neighborhood of reaching fuck you status at the level that he has figured out based on his/her own individual circumstances).


I agree with your point Doan9269 that the world is really crazy right now, so there can be some struggles in terms of figuring out how to hold value and within which assets to hold such value and how to manage those holdings, including whether there might be needs to tweak or reallocate from time to time and the extent to which some winners should be allowed to ride rather than reallocating.

in growth country like Indonesia weekly income around $70 was good enough if we compare with alot worker like property sector which is required alot energy and good physic. maybe for some people only by sit and post comment in any board in this forum to earn weekly reward looks easy , meanwhile to get this earning  it needs sacrifice and alot idea . For additional income working in this forum was good idea, with monthly salary around $200-$300 and income from signature campaign around $280 for high rank member we should have good saving that maybe used to invest in any finance market such as stock or cryptocurrency itself.

I think a better way to phrase it might be, is there a place in the world where you would want to live like a king via Sig campaigns? You could look at India and Pakistan as a rough baseline - the average salary there is in the $400 dollar range which is possible with the highest paying campaigns. Even there, that sort of money could stretch further in the countryside than big cities. I think those countries still suffer from a lot of poverty so you'd be making big trade offs at such a salary. Unless you're a local who knows the system, it feels like you might struggle as an outsider to move to poorer regions than that to achieve this aim.

Living like a king doesn't mean one must have all the money in the world.  Their are wealthy individuals everywhere,  there are some region if a family of 5 are receiving $1500 in total this amount of income for the week can still make them live large and comfortable to get what they want. What matters is that they are a living okay with $1500, it doesn't matter if their are weathy individuals in the region.

It seems to me Fortify that if you read through this thread, there are several guys who are already stating that The Pharmacist has quite a few options on either his $300 per week ($1,200 per month) on his own salary and even quite a few more options when combining such salary to include 5 guys who would have a similar level salary to make it $1,500 per week for the group.  So I am really doubting that the options are as limited as you are making them out to be - even though of course, there is quite a bit of vagueness in terms of what "living like a king" might mean, and how such "living like a king" might vary from one area to another.

Regarding your point about bigger cities versus rural areas, it surely would seem that most Americans  (and possibly other westerners) would not feel very comfortable to venture too far from the bigger cities in terms of access to some modern infrastructure and goods and services; however, I can already see from data and even some of my own experiences that there can be a lot of variation between different cities within the same country, and even some bigger (and reputed as expensive) cities may well have quite affordable areas within them or even on their outskirts rather than going into the more expensive neighborhoods or into the city centers.

I am really enjoying reading some of the actual on the ground numbers that guys give here, even though sometimes some forum members might be suggesting that a guy could live pretty comfortable upon something like a $400 per month income, but they might not be realizing that many westerners may well feel that they need some of the comforts of their already expectations of having constant electricity, or hot water and air conditioning and not really be willing to have a diet of basic foods so well expect to have a certain level of meat in their diet that exceeds what the locals are used to eating in their regular diet.  I really would be uncomfortable to be living completely paycheck to paycheck in a foreign environment, so I would think that having a cushion and emergency fund would be important and I personally do believe that guys should be stacking away a certain amount of savings /investment beyond their emergency fund - for the purpose of some day being able to retire - which would be 10% or more.. but I know a lot of young guys do necessarily consider that they need to engage in that level of ongoing investing/saving for their future.

...

Another issue to keep in mind about Fuck You status, and even with living in another country would be "succession planning" (to whom you would give your wealth to and how much upon your death).

Deciding how to pass along assets to heirs is a complex subject just in and of itself.  Especially with BTC and wallets, with Private Keys or Seed Words to send/pass along in a secure way with the instructions on how to access the BTC contained therein...

I still have a bit further to go myself in planning how to pass along some more assets, but I have given the process a good start.  Once I have finished (or in great part, as this could go on and on), then I too will think more about how to live the life in a low-stress & comfortable way.

*   *   *

I am less enthused than before about LatAm as a secure Plan B kind of place.  The country we had looked the most at is less secure politically than we had hoped and somewhat assumed.  I am guessing that ALL of LatAm is now more problematic than I had considered before.  Pity that.

On the other hand, certain LatAm places do seem to be relatively better, even over a longer time frame.  Costa Rica seems to be relatively stable and less authoritarian than most others.


Edit:  Also, before doing anything relatively permanent (moving, or even advanced planning), I suggest visiting the target country/countries at least twice (each) for a minimum of 8 weeks to assess whether you like the food, culture, can learn the language, etc.  Part of these visits would be "business", that is talking with lawyers re immigration, work, investments, and so on.  It's complex!  A lot of factors to take into account.

Of course, many of us can surmise that some level of prior stability does not necessarily ensure future stability, especially the way that there seems to be so much ongoing craziness from what appears to be various ongoing currency collapsing.. and people could end up lashing out quite violently systematically or maybe just more locally at someone who might seem to be either not impacted as badly as they are whether they associate your advantage in terms of your having dollars that have been falling less severely or bitcoin that you might be able to hide perhaps?  sometimes people say too much, and then if you might end up selling bitcoin to locals or even using Bitcoin ATMs, if such things exist in some of the locations, there could be some targeting of folks who have resources like bitcoin, if we can be identified as being NOT as poor.

Yeah, it's only just a phrase. It can mean to live comfortably like buying all the things that you like but not the things that are unrealistic within your reach like lambo's and tesla's but I think you can still buy them in the future if you save that big income you're getting in your sig campaign as we all know that bitcoin price can rise dramatically.

We can live a decent life only via signature campaigns as long as that campaign pays big (chip mixer) for instance because I think this was the only campaign that pays huge per post but the only downside is that not all users are qualified to join this campaign because their requirements are too strict.

Actually, there are so many countries most especially here in Africa you could live like a king, and even someplace like a demi-god with the money you earn from a signature campaign on bitcointalk, because just as the price of the dollar keeps rising to the currency of most of these African countries, someone earning in dollars will stand a better advantage when he changes his dollar into the local currency, and the Democratic Republic of Congo is not far from one of those countries.

Congo is actually one of the poorest countries and the second-largest by area of 245,409 km2  (905,567 sq mi) with a population of around 92 million, located in Central Africa. Congo is officially the most populous  Francophone country in the world.

So if someone earning around $50 to $100 weekly from a signature campaign gets to this kind of place omo, these people will crowd you a king immediately sharp sharp.
But for me personally, I don't think I can stay here oh...... Don't you see the way they look, these people can even kill and chop you raw.

With that amount of money, you can live like a "king" especially in developing countries. For developed countries like the US and the UK, I cannot say the same. You'd need a lot of work and effort to become a self-sufficient person with just $1,500 a week. Chipmixer is the highest paying signature campaign on the forum, but it certainly isn't a replacement for an average day job. Still, you can manage to live entirely off signature campaigns if you manage to spend less than what you earn.

My signature campaign pays around $70 a week, but I've managed to become self-sufficient by investing the money into prominent crypto projects (I've been on the campaign since 2015). In my very beginnings, the signature campaign had higher pay rates. Since I've saved most of the Bitcoin (even though I lost some coins as a result of cloud mining scams), I've managed to obtained huge returns with every bull market run. It's now the day where I have a solid passive income system that's fueled entirely by PoS coins. I make around $3.3k per week on PoS coins and signature campaign earnings alone. Of course, this took me a lot of work and effort to achieve (around 5 years). But at least, I'm able to live on crypto without ever touching Fiat again (in cases where I need to pay with Fiat in physical stores I just sell my crypto in person for cash or if it's an online store, I use a virtual VISA card).

The point is that it's not impossible to make a living with signature campaigns. To live like a "king" will entirely depend on your saving/investing/spending habits. The more the signature campaign pays you, the faster you will become a self-sufficient person (financial freedom). Besides the money, signature campaigns are a great way to learn about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The first time I've joined the Crypto.Games signature campaign, I started "digging" all about crypto/Blockchain tech. If no one had told me about signature campaigns before, I wouldn't had the motivation to learn about crypto. Living entirely on Bitcoin is a dream many of us want to achieve. It gives you that level of freedom you won't ever experience with Fiat. If I did it, you can do it too. Hope this answers the OP's questions. ;D

I was going to send you an smerit because you provided some fleshed out perspective, but holy shit, right from the start you are 1) misstating the hypothetical presentation and then even with your misstated hypothetical presentation 2) you come to faulty conclusions.  3) You also convolute ideas of bitcoin and crypto which causes my own personal irritations, and even if there might be ways to stay out of fiat by playing around with various shitcoins and stable coins rather than just staying in bitcoin, I still prefer those issues to not convolute ideas about bitcoin as the superior asset class that is leading all of these possibilities.

Let me be a bit more specific regarding 1  and 2 above.

1) the hypothetical presentation is for 5 guys with incomes of $300 per week each, not one person earning $1,500 per week... need to account for that.

and

2) I will agree that it would be trouble for 5 guys to live well in a western country on $1,500 per week, but one guy living on $1,500 per week would be quite great even in western countries... yeah, you cannot live high on the hog in the most expensive cities/areas, but there are a lot of areas in the USA, UK or other westernized places that $6k per month would give you a very decent living standard... especially if you do not really have to work very much for it.. maybe around 10 hours per week of posting?  and maybe you would spend that much time reading/posting anyhow, so it is not that BIG of a deal.

By the way, we did already mention the possible precariousness of relying on something like a signature campaign income, and just note that coincidentally something like a $6k per month passive income is what I had considered to be entry-level fuck you status.. which I presume to be gaining an investment portfolio that is stable-ish at at least a $2 million principle, and before the events following the March 2020 liquidation events, I had considered a $1 million investment portfolio sufficient to enter into fuck you status... For me, I agree with what seems to be part of your point Abiky, in that it is going to be much better to get to a place where you are able to rely on various kinds of wealth that you have accumulated and that you are able to consistently generate enough income to be comfortable with the reliability of the various sources of income/cashflow that is generated...

Maybe if I signature campaign income I would evaluate it at about 50% of its current income - because I would consider it to be about 50/50 in its reliability or my ability to replace it with similar levels of effort (not much effort)..?  And yeah, maybe for 10 years, I will be wrong about my  evaluation of 50% for that income source, and I continue to draw that kind of income, but I would want to be conservative and to have a variety of back up income sources in order to even be comfortable in giving such an income source as high of a future reliability rating as 50/50.

I've never traveled out of my country, Nigeria, but then, I traveled to many parts of nigeria and I can honestly say that, there are quite alot of places where with $1500 per week, five can live lavish lavish, live in a good apartment, eat good food, drive good cars, and I mean an estate where every basic amenities is already provided, good roads, 24 hours electricity with standby Power plant incase of an emergency with power holding company, gas and water all installed with cheap monthly payment, $1500 converted to Nigerian naira is almost a million, with such an amount every week for five, they can all live likes kings in this country.

Now, I honestly do not know what the procedure is to get Nigerian citizenship, but I do know that it won't put a hole in the pocket, Nigeria is one of the best countries to live in, the phrase "Nigeria is corrupt" only applies to those who don't have money, if you are rich in my country, you live like you are in heaven.

Ummm are you trying to scare him away or convince him with this screenshot?  ;D
Perhaps the OP will find it interesting enough to want to enquire more (he is a tough guy) ;).
Anyways, In addition to what the rest members have suggested above, I think South Africa will be a more suitable place for someone like The Pharmacist to be because SA has almost the qualities you can find in the USA (assuming that's where he currently reside).
They have cultural heritage and technological advancement  and with the amount mentioned, it is enough to get five roommates going (although I didn't look that part up) but it can't be compared to the United States standard of living.

Reasons to why Mr TP made mention of five person's could be as a result of teamwork.
Team work will make the dream work as well also bring in more energy,ideas and help reach the goals faster!
Prior to your recent edit and adds to what you previously fantasized, I have seen a whole lot of people talking about Africa and Nigeria (of which I did also). With your recent additions Sir, about having a mining farm with Asics and all the rest, I want to say that it won't be possible because we don't have 24 hours power supply to an extent here in Nigeria and not really cheap electricity which is very mandatory for the set up of a mining farm. Although improvisation can come up for this by converting the hot sun here into solar for mining. Another big issue will be from cooling Asics, as they require cool area's and this ends no where near cool only during raining seasons. More funds will going Into coolants then! That's if you want too continue with them down here.

So I'll further conclude by saying, you should shift focus from African countries as they are not suitable to your recent requirements.
I must say I really admire your high level of vocabularies used, no flattering here!

Oh JJG, I'm used to your posting style and provocativeness, especially from the MSTR thread (which I haven't chimed in on lately, though I've been following the stock).  No offense taken and I'm not provoked.

My assumption is that this would be an all-male house, but in truth I have no idea what the genders are of any potential roommates--the assumption is based on another assumption, which is that most bitcointalkers (and by extension, sig campaign participants) are male.  But in all honesty, I'd prefer some female presence to soften up what could otherwise be a testosterone-filled crazyhouse.

As an aside, between the time I started this thread and now, I learned about these so-called "content houses" where Tik-Tokkers and whatever other influencers work out of and make bank.  Though I absolutely loathe the concept because it reminds me of the early days of reality TV, it might be an interesting thing to videotape the happenings in my "content castle".  

Whatever happened to the bitcointalk Youtube channel, anyway?  This would be a perfect subject for an episode should my idea come to fruition.

Wow, I haven't heard that saying written or uttered in at least 5-7 years.  And you're right about Africa probably not being ideal, though I'd hate to rule out the whole continent.  As I said, places like Zimbabwe and a few other countries do hold some appeal for me.

To be fair, this is a long thread and that point has been missed by many members who've posted here for some reason.  And Abiky, my bro, thanks for making an appearance here!!

That is indeed impressive, my man.  See, if you were in the castle you wouldn't even have to be in a sig campaign.  You could just plunk a lawnchair down on the grass and sit pretty while the rest of the house is tip-tapping away on our keyboards trying to catch up to you.

I'm very happy because I got accepted in the signature campaign, even though I'm not rich, and can't make me king, but at least my life is much better now, because finding a job in my country is very difficult, plus staples in my country very expensive, not in accordance with the salary we receive, earn $ 70 per week I am very grateful, with a signature campaign my life is now much better than before.

if we get $300 per week all of that is more than enough, because in Indonesia it is very difficult to get that kind of money in a week, last month I was accepted at the signature campaign, I am very grateful and grateful, because when I was having trouble getting a job, good luck i have an amazing opportunity in the signature campaign, it can be said that my life is now like a king, used to be underestimated, but now everyone has given praise to me, thank you to the signature campaign.

For sure, sharing (or even battling out) differences of opinion and not getting too triggered by presentation style can be beneficial in these parts.

Over the years, I have had some pretty intense battles that devolved into name calling, but then after some passage of time, those kinds of interactions with the same members have kind of worked themselves out... but yeah, not all of the internet relationships will work themselves out, and that can be o.k. too.


Having some flexibility could end up paying off, as long as you might want to attempt to screen for possible issues in advance, if possible.  One thing is going in jointly from the start, and another thing would be for something that ends up being more like subtenants... so it could be difficult to get 5 guys on the same page in terms of a joint venture that might start out with some kind of a timeline - 6 month commitment or some other time frame, and sometimes there can be jurisdiction-specific complications that might not automatically approve extended stays beyond 90 days or something like that so there becomes some questions about designing some kind of an agreement around that, and surely if you are asking about longer term residency possibilities, then once you get that status, then maybe you might be able to make longer commitments, but then guys (and gal) might NOT be at the same point in the process (including other things going on in their lives to potentially end up causing logistical concerns, uncertainties, financial burdens and maybe even drama).


Again.. one aspect would be attempting to figure out at what stage of the journey each of the person would be, and then another matter is the amount of work that comes through producing video content  - including that audio only podcasts might be easier, but still there is a need for a commitment towards some kind of regular production.. and for sure the video level, just adds another layer of potential difficulties in terms of production but maybe also in terms of having content that works with that medium......some people do not really have faces or even presentation mannerisms (or subject matter) that works well for video.. hahahahaha.

This is the Bitcointalk Youtube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVXR5mEts2amf_FzMTEtGgA)
Until now there's 5 videos only and no any new videos last 3 months, not really sure what happened but it's during Ukraine vs Russian conflict. Perhaps the guy as the presenter in this channel is live in that's country? But clearly I don't know.

Indeed your subject are awesome, the current subject of those 5 videos are:
1. The BitcoinTalkShow Teaser (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHCI4Q5Q-MQ)
2. You just found the first episode of the BitcoinTalkShow! A Bitcoin Talk Show about BitcoinTalk! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK4VqHEf8CE)
3. BitcoinTalk Community Awards 2020 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3v7Mg-IJxk)
4. Into Bitcoin? Try this BitcoinTalk quiz (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E8QHJFjs7s)
5. BitcoinTalk was hacked! And some of you might remember! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe0Ev1z_JXA&t=30s)

It will be a good videos if we have a content houses subject at the year-end holidays, we will meet each others that we have interacted everyday in this forum, making a content and also have a good party. I think Philippines might be a good place since in this country isn't costly and have a good tourist attractions, example White Beach, Boracay (https://www.planetware.com/philippines/top-rated-tourist-attractions-things-to-do-in-the-philippines-phi-1-26.htm). In this forum there are so many Filipino too, I believe they will help us if we want to come on their countries. However I ever have a vacation on Philippines, it's a wonderful countries and their citizens are very nice to a tourist.

Soon Bitcointalkshow will release a new video The Pharmacist's gang holidays on Philippines (https://) :P

Most of the African continent life is not hard enough to survive. And with Bitcointalk signature campaign payment you can live as a king with the pay out. If you plan with what you get monthly as allowance. because many of Africa countries don't know what is tax revenue and the length of expenses is shorter. And any money they have they does not depend on the money instead the money will establish another thing that will give them equivalent of the money they received from signature campaign. What is going to make them to live like a king is not dependable by the money gotten from signature but the investment used signature money to establish

And what would you suggest to do all that time in Africa? Watch tv, read book series till retirement and go on a safari excursions? If the life in a specific country is cheap, that does not mean it will suit everyone for a long living there.

You can live in an African city like this:

https://www.urbantransformations.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/iStock-172196548-1024x680.jpg

With signature campaign earning, you would live there not just as a kind, but as a god.

I agree with you although living like a king depends on the African country and city one is resident in. Also it depends on one's monthly, dependents, marital status, lifestyle, etc. Most kings in some African countries are married to at least 3 women with lots of children. My point is that living like a king via sign campaign is relative base on several economic factors.

Of course it would really be depending on lots of factors which you could really be considering that you are living like a king.
Yes, you might be earning decent with campaigns but with lots of expenses then it wouldn't really just be enough.

Also to mind off that signature campaigns arent permanent therefore its just dumb that you would really be that relying your living into that.Its just good for side income but never ever be an ideal
to consider it as a main source.

For people who do live on 3rd world would definitely be having that kind of advantage among others who had just been making themselves earn less with their day job
compared to the money that earned from campaigns based on USD.

you should be able to detail which country on the African continent you mean...

I live in Indonesia and my country belongs to the Asian continent, here the average person's income is $100 - $250 / month so joining a signature campaign that pays with BTC is a good thing for members living in Indonesia (including me). my country is a developing country, so the cost of living in various cities is still not evenly distributed but the average is not too high.

With that huge earnings weekly, you're going to be a well-known and respected king if you come to a place called Bayelsa located in Nigeria. You will live a luxury lifestyle and acquire properties too. The price of gas here is $1 so you won't find things difficult here.

                                 Abuja-Nigeria
https://i.ibb.co/JH396xX/300px-Abuja-Collage-11zon.jpg (https://imgbb.com/)
With $1500= ₦750,000 weekly earnings is more than enough to live a standard lifestyle in my country's capital Abuja, with that amount you can save up to build yourself a beautiful house where each of the 5 of you guys will have access to a personal furnished room and two seating room for meetings. And if you guys care about some other businesses you can save up for that and build one give yourself 3 to 4 years you become the king of the city with steady income flows that will guarantee you a king-size lifestyle all through your life.

This kind of came time to time and its not funny to think for yourself a fantasy land you own for yourself without interference of any kind of entity and and you can be king f that land. But As we all know in real world there is n land like this exist here on earth. To many entities are going to interfere either you do something or not as this is what the dark side of humans is. They can't sit and watch someone to fulfill his/her desire without worrying of any interference.

Wow, I haven't heard that saying written or uttered in at least 5-7 years.  And you're right about Africa probably not being ideal, though I'd hate to rule out the whole continent.  As I said, places like Zimbabwe and a few other countries do hold some appeal for me.


This we do daily, while having soccer drills, you watch my back and I do same for you likewise, hehehe.
And you wouldn't want to miss out on Zimbabwe, I did go back to dig down, guess what ?
They're currently the only African country that normalized the utilization of BTC in them day to day activities. As it's highly valued down that ends they started the usage ever since they had financial crises. Most talks you see bout BTCin Africa are rare ( as they're always done behind bars to avoid them pigs)  ;D

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

$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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With $1500/week three friends can live anywhere in the world depending on their lifestyle as you mentioned. The focus first should be the expectation of this three persons when it comes to location. Some one can even live comfortably with as low as $300 a week for three friends in any part of the world.

The best practice is - go for the minimalist approach - where less is more.
Try to have an organic garden around where you can pick up fresh veggies and save some money. And find money saving ideas to have a good living.

I quite agree. The cost of living in some places of the Philippines is quite expensive for us Filipinos already to let's say like for example in Manila, house rent may amount to 100$ to 200$ a month for a much decent place plus daily expenses like food, electricity, etc. (btw, I think we have the most expensive electricity in the whole Asia) unlike to provinces that you have mentioned even though electricity is quite expensive food and houses for staycation are less expensive plus the fresh air and all beautiful places it feels like heaven lol. But sig. campaigns still can't make us live like a king even in our provinces but at least have a quite decent way of living. A living where we can eat three times a day and have a place to stay.

I am having some troubles with following your response freedomgo.

First you say "in your country" but you do not say which country that is.  Surely, we have also discussed that within any country, also, there tend to be considerable differences living within the metropolitan areas (or perhaps rich areas) and the more rural or suburb areas; however, countries differ too in the level of infrastructure (or even sense of security) that exists once getting outside of the main metropolitan areas.

A second thing is that you seem to be not really accounting that OP had mentioned $6k per month to apply for 5 guys, so $1,200 each... so surely there is a difference between living as an individual versus sharing resources as a group in terms of the standard of living that can be achieved.. and surely OP ended up adding a bit more complexity by adding that variable to pool the resources 5 guys, so I don't really have any problem with the idea of removing that variable and then attempting to grapple with the quantity of income - but at least to recognize that the 5 guys variable had existed in the initial presentation, and it seems to me that the hypothetical would not be even close to the same if we would be presuming that a guy would be earning $6k per month because then the whole hypothetical becomes nearly a completely different set of variables to figure out how some one person might be able to earn $6k per month and still be living in a lower income country while accomplishing that... quite a different kind of guy from my perspective as compared to a kind of guy that would earn $1,200 per month through a signature campaign (and maybe needing to supplement that, if he were to be living on his own instead of having 4 other guys to pool resources).

There are obviously a lot of places that you could live a decent life only with $1500/month and it doesn't have to be a developing or an underdeveloped country. Essentially any country that (1) hasn't been plagued with Capitalism and (2) has good amount of natural resources so it doesn't have to import much (3) has a production based economy (opposed to credit based economy) would have a low cost of living.

But cost of living is only a small part of what you should be looking for if you want to migrate there. I'd say the biggest challenge is the cultural differences. For example if you go from US to Canada, there won't be that much of a difference but if you go from US to Asia then the difference could be massive. That's on top of the language barrier. You may not be able to fit in or accept the new culture.

I'd say Iran is the only developed country with the lowest cost of living. Iran is also among the top 20 biggest economies and checks all 3 boxes (not plagued with capitalism, has high natural resources and is the most independent country when it comes to production of most the nation's needs). Part of the reason for the lowest cost is the exchange rate.

If I tell you my utility bill you won't believe me. I just paid a total of about $4.9 for phone, internet, mobile, gas, water and electric bill. And that's for 2 months not one since bills come every 2 months :D
But then the internet speed is considered low in Iran specially these days mobile data is bad since the number of users is growing a lot faster than the infrastructure has been able to grow (90% of the 85 million own at least one phone actively connected to 4G).

Real estate cost depends a lot on the location. In the capital the price is ridiculously high, in some cases are higher than most expensive ones in Europe. But if you don't need to live close to work for example, and just want to build a villa and enjoy life in the beautiful 4 season country lower prices could be found.
If I wasn't so busy with my job I would have already bought a land and started building my own modern villa. By my initial calculations, somewhere close to the sea in Northern Iran a 1000 sq meters land and the cost of construction, etc. would be between $350k to $500k.

I own an apartment so I don't have any rent, unfortunately the rents could be very high and would eat through one's salary. I also don't pay any taxes because I live in a tax heaven! So I'd say my cost of living is about $50 a month. Of course that doesn't account for the extra shit I buy. For example I recently bought a new sofa set with handcrafted wooden tables, etc. that set be back a grand.
I believe the minimum wage is somewhere between $110 to $130 a month for workers. But an engineer with masters degree like me is paid from $250 to $500 a month. (I think I'm converting stuff correctly to USD although it's late at night and I'm tired lol).

The medical system here is excellent and the costs aren't that high. In fact this has turned Iran into an excellent choice for I think is referred to as medical tourism.

The food here is fantastic too. None of that genetic crap that has no tastes and induces cancer. 90% of the food is organic and cheap. Since someone mentioned rice above, the top quality Persian rise costs $2.66 per kilo although the one I buy is from Southern Iran with a unique taste and aroma that costs $1.66 per kilo ($16.6 per bag).
Speaking of food here is Iran from point of view of a tourist focusing on the wide variety of foods: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_YfaTnGXmTH6XJOo143UzIXkRLcUgtEg

As far as safety goes Iran is considered more secure than European countries like France or the UK.

But of course not everything here is hunky-dory. I mentioned some stuff I could think of above but I think we could say one of the biggest issues that has plagued the country has been weird inflation. For example real estate price went up 14% this week in the area where I live for no reason :)
The other problem is of course sanctions since Iran has been the most sanctioned country in the history for the past 43 years. I think we hit the record of 5000 sanctions last month ... woot woot. :D
That could cause problems at times. For example price of computer hardware skyrocketed but they came back down slowly or during 2019-2020 when the pandemic began there was a lot of shortages which we couldn't import like ventilators but almost all the time this ends with domestic production followed by quality control and finally exports to compete on the global market with a higher quality but lower price product. (We currently export advanced medical equipment to 55 countries.)

I can't think of anything else but feel free to ask.

When it comes to a place you wish to enjoy your earnings, Nigeria might just be the best for you. Nigeria is the sort of country where the rich gets to merry as they won't and the poor gets to suffer. Everyone tends to accord respect to the wealthy class and there are some pretty much wealthy people in the country. I don't know why you choose to live in a household of 5 roommates but with an earning as much as $300 a week, your directly at the middle class in respect to social stratification and that's all you need for a stable lifestyle in Nigeria. In fact, there are very few professionals in there field that could be boastful to earn as much even with all there certificates. Anyway, let's go down to it.

DWELLING (HOME/APARTMENT)
Houses in Nigera as per rented property and that excludes the property, just an empty house let's say, a 5 bedroom apartment would cost you as much as #2million = $3,483 = BTC0.115. This sort of apartment would come with a minimal packing space for at least 2 vehicles and would be within an estate environment with proper security, light and water supply. Mind you, you don't get to pay for water supply or packing space. Just security and the light supply. The light supply would be prepaid meter and that means, you pay as you consume of which, it would be relativelys stable to about 17hours of daily light supply. Its also necessary to own a backup electricity generator. Every other amenities within your household from water to cooking gas is self provided and no tax on it. Current cost of cooking gas is about #750 = $1.2 = BTC0.000042 per kg.

Your household furniture's are self provided, with each subject to your test and mind you, Nigeria dont produce no technology and as such, the price abroad + import fees + profit levied on goods, which is sellers specific gives us our selling price. You can as well buy and come with it from there and you get to pay for the shipping fee and clear with custom officers down here.

FOOD (DDISHES)
When it comes to food, we've got our local dishes and that you might not be used to but, they are very nice. If your one that loves trying new stuff, you can taste out some continental dishes over there, once particulate with Africa and you would have an idea on what to expect. Our food source is largely, starch, protein and vitamin and mineral salt. We've got some agro based produce too like the pumpkin, watermelon, carrots, garbage, onions bulbs e.t.c.
Pizza is also available and a mega size sells for #5,000 = $8.4 = BTC0.00028 and this is relative to the amount you can get for a good meal per head in Nigeria. Mind you, it ranges below and can be higher based on the restaurants or hotel for which one choses to eat. With common drinks like Coca-Cola or other soda drinks. Should you go for Chivita fruit juice, it cost as much as #1,000 = $1.66 = BTC0.000055. Exotic wines are subjective and mostly imported stuff. So prices applies as stated earlier on imported goods.

MOBILITY
Owing your own car is much better, you only get to fill it with gas and that costs as much as #170 = $0.28 = BTC0.0000095 per litre. The duration and how many litres to go for a day is relative to where ever you are. The difference is in price and traffic experienced while journeying.

OUTING/PARTYING
You've got 2 choices. You either get to go out to clubs or you do whatever at home and your very much free within your own domain. There are not much rules as to how loud you can get, especially on an eventful day. The cost is entirely based on you as to how wasted you want to be.

Note: All calculations where done based on prevailing price in the market and dollar to naira exchange rate which goes for about $1 = #593 and Bitcoin price to be BTC1 = $30,374. Also, all calculations for food and outing/partying was done on individual bases. The rest is relative as such being roommates.

Hope it helps. Thank you!

Very detailed.
You know there is a concept of Airbnb, where host want money and guests want a place. It is win win for both -there you get a good place and cuts off other expenses like cleaning and washing and do the chores yourself and save a lot of money. The app is a good way to plan you visit anywhere - good luck.

Brother man, you have been detailed and tried to encourage tourism to our home land Nigeria. Nigeria is actually a great place to live and enjoy life especially if you are coming with value currency because exchange rate to Naira favours the tourist far more if they decide to frolic in Nigeria.

By the way dollar exchange rate to Naira is $1 to #600 and with that adjustments to the spending and expenses to make while in Nigeria as today, the tourist would have #7 more to spend on a $ as you pegged your calculation on #593.

However, there is a current trend that we also have to put out there just to see if some countries could show helping hand in that. It is about the high level of insecurity in the country. Apart from corruption and bad governance, it has now degenerated to insecurity of life and properties. People are killed at any slightest  meaningless reason.

Some countries $1500 is very big money that can serve somebody with family for two months without asking for money again until the next month some developed countries $1500 is still a money that is helpful but for African countries interior one with that big amount of $1500 shop establishment will commence within three weeks because the money is close or half of a million

That is correct - in our country too this is a big amount, and enough can be done in it.
If the unnecessary expenses can be cut down - the person can live like a king or queen. Our country food and fruit is very popular - one does not repent coming here.

Yes, Nigeria is a place where you can live like a king in some areas with $1500 and you will be well honor and respect through out the months or years you are going to spend in that land. Some of the crypto users in that environment are living a life like queens and Kings because they are making a huge amount of money from crypto investment like people that is working in oil company. Crypto users are living a good life and peaceful life than others business men in the land.

After reading this post i would refer you to 2 western african countries where you can live like a boss with just $1500 monthly compared to your weekly plans ,In this west african countries Ghana and Benin Republic ,the advantage of this countries is that the economy is good and your $1500 will have 2 times values due to it economy rate ,it will be equivalent to $3000, with $1500 weekly you live in a rented mansion and nice properties all to yourself ,good food and cook ,cleaning staff ,securities,best taxy hire of your choice to any intended destination, In Ghana and Benin republic You experience the best nice life experience with alot of woman and drinks to throw around and still celebrated daily . Every beautiful good looking ladies will love to be around you, making your rented mantion filled with woman of all kind throwing themselves at you everyday partying.
You have total freedom and all the time in the world to face your normal means of making this money ,this countries are peaceful ,security free ,friendly tourist countries .
Thinking of living that good life, dream life ,think of Republic of Ghana and Republic of Benin.

Yes living middle-class would be a good aim. I think it's preferable to live in a condo or a gated community if settling in an urban area though. Being targeted for a robbery or worse is a real risk that people seem to forget when talking about moving to developing countries.

It's not that those crimes don't happen in developed countries but being a foreigner, people here would assume you are stacked. Especially if they don't see you going out often to work (coz you are living off the sig campaign). They'll just think you have wads of cash lying around the house.

You don't expect to have 3 wives and each of this wives will have atleast up to three or two children then still want to live like a king with $1500, family like this if it is not too much will consist about 10 in numbers. Living like a king ier is possible for a man with one wife and atleast three - four children in number.  

$1500 is possible to take good care of family of five very well for a man who can think and plan very well how to use money.  I think The Pharmacist is asking if there is any place in the world where a family of five can live like a king,  and not for a polygamous family (3 wives).

No. he doesnt mean about having 3 wives or something but rather having a team composing 5 people on doing signature campaign which do earns up on the amount that they could get on Chipmixer campaign which it is basically

talking about on how to sustain yourself and live like a king literally in means of finances on which you could buy most things that you do like but honestly even living with 3rd world countries wont really be putting you up into this
situation since not all would really be that cheap.Lets say you do live on to that place and considers buying a car? It wont really be still a simple goal for you to achieve on.

Some information I found about Zimbabwe Mr T P


Generally in Zimbabwe, the reception and usage of crypto currencies is a bit low. Currently crypto is changing on P2P basis and is not the economy's main stream. Zimbabwe government is yet to consider crypto usage.

Currently there is noting like Bitcoin ATM .
There was sometimes (Gorith) a Chinese owned ATM but was closed in fear of money laundering.  But l do believe that currently, it gon work as the government is considering crypto business.

Electricity not that sufficient but everything is well as some with money are going solar. But generally the supply is not that bad but in winter like currently due to increased electricity usage we experience rampant loadshedding.

Yeah you can buy land that's is if you're going as an investor or you're a foreigner with a permanent residents in Zimbabwe.

Security matters a lot, so in terms of areas that might be appealing and hospitable maybe, Harare the capital city since it's a commercial city if you want to business.
For tourism Victoria falls maybe. Also, they're good farmers, fan of cannabis ? Yeah they do grow that and other crop's, you should be a good fan of fruits hmm ?


About getting a parcel of a landed property......It all depends on location and city as well in Harare, the cost is higher than in small towns.

A plot of 1 hectare  may cost as high as $50/m²

In small towns a hectare may cost around $15-30k.

Hopefully this helps, but I'mma still dig down for you! Still want too be sure about some stuffs though!

I've heard of Ghana, but not Benin--but either way, sounds like you're my kind of man!  Perhaps there might be a sixth slot for someone who's a go-getter and perhaps knows the neighborhood and what sorts of things can be got and where to get them.  Lol.

To each his own of course, but there's something about gated communities that really turns me off, and I'd never live in one (not that I could afford to).  Your point about foreigners being taken for wealthy individuals and having targets painted on their backs is taken, and that's something I'd considered a while back.  While I wouldn't live in a walled-off community, I also would not be opposed to having an excellent security system.

No shit!  I thought drugs were very illegal in that part of the world--but I could be thinking of south Asia.  My grasp of geography and cultures isn't all that great.  Thanks for the info on Zimbabwe.  Currently it's at the top of my list.

Lol.  I don't know where you got the idea of multiple wives from.  Tons of females, yes, but the marriage part I think I'll leave out, thank you very much.

Whatever the reason, I'm grateful for what I've made so far from the signature campaign even though only $50 is enough for the next 2 weeks. In fact, the style and needs of life in different countries. Where I live, I'm still grateful that $50 per week is amazing. If I may be grateful, then of course my current forum creators and campaign managers are people who have contributed greatly to me and my little family. Btw, my first child was born and accompanied by a campaign acceptance from Mr. Hhampuz. I will be very inspired if the name is suitable for my child.

Moreover earning $1500/week, will be my dream in the future if I can join.

This may be true, I live in one of the countries in southeast asia and indeed as you said for $1500 money you need to at least work in a regular company for about 6 to 7 months without spending a penny there for 7 months to get there. and even if it is used from the salary it means we have to collect this much longer if the target is $1500 into net profit and it could reach 1 year maybe even more.
this goes back to real prestige, if we really want to live with a community that can be said to be a fairly "elite" community, of course, the city is a supportive place to get it considering for countries, especially in Southeast Asia (except Singapore) of course the comparison villages and cities are still very different both in terms of finances and the prestige that is there.

I have my doubts about whether prestige is any kind of real issue for very many westerners.. except maybe just some guys might want to be able to easily attract girls to their location, and prestige could help with that question.. but if a westerner is living in a place that does not have very many westerners, then s/he is already getting a lot of prestige (likely even way more than enough) just from the exotic factor.....

Otherwise, it seems to me that picking between rural and urban (or something in between) has more to do with possible infrastructure and security concerns... 

Too much focus on prestige could really screw up a budget too.. .. so in that regard, there might be very similar neighborhoods in terms of their location - distance from infrastructure, goods and services, and one that is within a prestigious neighborhood but then one that is nearby, but just considered part of the normal neighborhood that costs 1/2 or maybe even up to about 1/10th as much.. Now maybe with the $300 per week or the $1,500 to combine all 5 incomes, would permit living in either location, but the quality of life may well be much better if spending less than 30% of income on lodging-related expenses rather than 80% and not having much spare income remaining for spending on other things.

In this case, I agree, but on the other hand, if they (westerners) want to do this to bind women, I don't think it's wrong if they do something like this because it will definitely be a little different if it is in terms of habits and glamor. different treatment differences of most people when comparing outsiders and locals. Then indeed this can be a high attraction especially if you look at prestige

For some people, this might not be too much of a problem because if you look at the current fact, the fact is that prestige is the highest thing among some people. it doesn't matter how much they spend to protect their prestige. When talking about this I see an example of one of the lifestyle cultures in the Congo called La Sape.
Even though this only happens to a small number of people or communities in the world, sometimes in this case there are still many people who believe that prestige is the most important thing of anything.

To be honest in my country, the minimum wage is N30,000 ($50) therefore the weekly pay rate of an average signature campaigns for legendary rank is twice the monthly salary of a level 1 civil servant in Nigeria. Surprisingly, people survive on $50 a month as stable income and have other side jobs to take care of their needs.

Nigeria is a great nation but her leaders have made it to be a place where advert poverty coexists. Leaders that have no regard for civil servants' pensions but themselves and families.
Despite their small minimum wage($50), they will be able to economize and utilize their salaries very well till the next month's payment. That's why a Nigerian can survive in any given situation or society he or she finds herself in.

OP, I will not make a life changing decision like this (even though you said you will not) ...based on the income of a signature campaign. I too..was a member of Chipmixer for a long time, but they suddenly decided to swap me out for someone else. (Just as I got comfortable that I was part of the best paying signature campaign on this forum)  :(

Now, imagine lifting your roots and then relocating to a paradise and living like a King for a month or two.. just to be kicked from a campaign and going back to earning nothing within a week.

A better strategy for me.... will be to "hoard" all your earnings from a signature campaign and then relocating to a 3rd world county and depositing the converted cash into a fixed deposit at a high interest rate... and living off that for a few years.  ;)  (Some Banks still give 10%+ interest on fixed deposits of 5years and longer)  :o

https://www.gobankingrates.com/banking/interest-rates/which-country-interest-rates/ (Madagascar)  ;) <==Good interest and relative low inflation rate.  ;D

With the exposure given me by internet, I have decided that no matter how rich I will be in this life, I will not fail to live in my country Nigeria. Work may take me outside the country, but I will surely come back to Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country of freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of religion, freedom of business.

Let me discussion this economic wise and safety wise.

Economic wise!
My brother worked for Cavaton Helicopters in Lagos State Nigeria. He has a senior colleague and friend from U.S by name Brown. Mr. Brown lived like a president in Lagos. He solves peoples problems, no matter what, in as much as it is financially related. Brown was paid in dollars but he later opened a Nigerian account and asked the company to be paying him in Nigeria currency. When Brown was asked why he did so, he said that the money he uses to pay the taxes in U.S even when he works in Nigeria, is very much. It was after opening a Nigerian account that he started using the same amount of money for taxes in U.S for charity in Lagos Nigeria. Mr. Brown relocated his family to Nigeria because of total freedom.
In Nigeria, you can start a company and operate it for years without registering the company, that is the kind of freedom enjoyed in Nigeria.

In terms of Safety:
The safest cities are Abuja(The country's capital) and Lagos State (the country's commercial capital).
When an average Nigerian sees a white man as we call them, there is this feeling of seeing a demi-god. I have seen where white guys are giving express attentions in banks, traffic, malls, etc. The preferential treatment only is a prestige given Kings.

Then if you try to take a wife in Nigeria, you are entitled to be crowned a real king ;D.
Well as others have said $1500 is a way too big money in Nigeria. I used the internet to understand that a range of $7 to $15 is the minimum wage of Americans per hour. I don't know how true this is, and an average American works 44 hrs per week. If this data is any where near correct, it means that 15 multiplied by 44 will give about $660 per week. Which is a way small compared to $1500.

Infact relocate to Nigeria, contact me and I will take you to an area (not 100% urban), with your one year pay, we can buy a mini city, make it a bitcoin city, and you will be the king if the city ;D

Damn, if it means that much to you I'm in a generous mood and would like to help you rank up.  I've offered a post history review to anyone who PMs me (monthly), and if you'd like to take advantage of that just send me a message.  I'm amazed that $50 can stretch as far as it can for you, because I could easily blow that much in a single day and not even have much to show for it by sundown.  That's how bad it is in the US.  A lot of immigrants come here and think there's gold in the streets, but you really have to work hard to make good money here.

BTW, a lot of immigrants do.  It's the Americans who've been here for generations that tend to be the most parasitic on society (in my observation).

Yeah, I think I remember you being in Chipmixer for a while.  I didn't realize anyone actually got kicked out of it, because the selection process is pretty rigorous.  The above idea is a good one, but you're assuming I wouldn't have anything as far as assets/cash when I move to wherever it is the castle is located.  I'm far from wealthy right now, but I'm not dirt-poor either.

That's amazing.  The weather is nice in Nigeria, right?

I don't know, maybe there's a life like king of a Chipmixer sample signature campaign that's close to $1200 a month. Truly like a King if there is in me.

I have been inactive from the forum since early 2020, because I have to work for real to make money every day for the sake of my family, at that time the forum opportunities were uncertain for me because it did not improve the quality of what I could in the forum as a contribution.

After a few years of working, I returned to the forum and this was done while coming home from work, but the salary for working was not enough for my needs, meaning I could only live a simple life and not buy luxury items like a king who wants to buy anything.

But I started to think that the signature campaign provided a good opportunity as well after I improved the quality of my posts, even though this was my first time at Moonbet but I received a weekly salary of $50 which was enough in addition to my needs.

In essence the forum gives me the opportunity to get my weekly paycheck, if I improve again or in terms of skills then the opportunity is quite large.

I come from Indonesia, my average monthly salary is $250, if there is an addition from the forum, of course it is something extraordinary.

That's when the quality you have (blown $50 in in the blink of an eye). I am transfixed when I see very special Chipmixer members on this forum every week, maybe with that kind of money here we can make a fancy event.
Do you know? $50 here can be enough to pay the electricity bill, pay the water bill for 1 month, and buy some basic necessities.
Apart from all that, back to the geographical lifestyle in their respective places. The sparkling life in the US is pretty much worth what you make.

Btw, thanks for the offer, I've sent a PM.

Yes, the weather is lovely. Global warming hasn’t done much harm to the Nigerian ecosystem. Throughout the year, average temperatures in Nigeria fall between 23.889°C and 31.111°C.  Nigeria is a tropical country, we have two seasons; dry season and rainy season. The dry season lasts from October to April, is accompanied by high temperature and low humidity. I recommend visiting for vacation during this period, tourists love the sun and the roads are more accessible during this time. We experience the “harmattan” cold breeze from December - February. March - August, the country is in the rainy season. The rainy season isn’t half as cold as it is in Europe so you can wear very little clothes.

With the given example of Chipmixer Signature Campaign, as a Filipino myself, I assure you if you will be able to achieve the maximum post requirements for that campaign weekly then surely you will be able to afford so much here.
The average income for most of the Filipino is just 350-500 USD a month so being able to earn at least 1000 USD per month from a signature campaign will surely provide a Mid-Class kind of life here at the Philippines. That is only for
one member of the family.
Also, Let me share you my story. I am a part of this forum since 2016 and I was able to join multiple campaign whether it's a signature or social media campaign from altcoins before. I was able to earn more than what my parents was able to provide. And as a college student back then, I was kinda living my life. I was able to buy whatever I want and people was amazed as to how I was able to afford all of those stuffs.
At that time, I've encourage my friends and family to do what I do and let them explore what crypto can provide not just through campaigns but also with investment and trading. However, things got complicated as they were too greedy and made more one account to join altcoin campaigns. I've warned them about this and even reported some of their accounts that I've known to be their alt. Most of their accounts are banned on this forum or even tagged already by now. But the amount that they've accumulated from joining altcoin campaigns way back 2019-2020 was enough for them to buy a car, a condo and even a house.
So yes, you'll be able to live like a king if you, your friends and/or your other family members are doing signature campaign especially if all of them are at Chipmixer.

I came to this forum to expose scammers. And I tried to work against scammers. And in doing so I have had the good fortune to join some signature campaigns, I am grateful to those managers for accepting me.

The payment I am currently receiving from the signature campaign is enough to cover my expenses alone in the country where I live. I don't know if I will get a chance in the high paying signature campaign in the future, but the support I am getting now is a lot.

There are a lot places that you can live like a king in developed countries, with $1,500/week you might become one of a millionaire on that country. I think you should think the other aspect of the places e.g. facilitation, culture, and the other things that you need to consider to live there. Many developed countries are lack of facilitation, more over they don't have enough clean water to drink mud water or even his own urine to survive.

I'm come from one of developed countries but I wouldn't mention the country, I live where the countries is poor and really hard to survive with our minimum wages. Minimum wages in my country is $100/month, but the foods is really expensive due to high inflation. With my current campaign that pays me $40/week it's already a lot for me and with that I can survive until now. If I didn't found this forum, I don't know how could I live only with my minimum wages.

I have seen so many around me are starving and can't even buy food, they're eat from rubbish or leftover foods. I have helped some people even though I'm also struggling before I joining a signature campaign, but hopefully I can help more since I have more money, even it's not to much.

I hope one day in the future when I become a millionaire, I can give more foods and develop my countries to become more better because I know how it's feel on difficult situation.

Yes I think that is possible. The world is full of cheap places, the question is are you willing to live there. You calculated 1500 USD per month for 5 guys, I think the budget could be a little higher. It should be possible to make 100 USD each per week with crypto currencies and little effort. For 5 guys that would be 2000 USD per month. In South or Central America you can get very cheap housing, there are apartments in the middle of nowhere you could get for 400 USD per month. Problem is security and language issues, and there is nothing around to do really. Also the quality of living will be poor. For food for 5 guys I would probably expect to spend 30 USD per day, 900 per month. That would leave 700 USD for other costs, like Internet, maybe a car, insurances, repair and maintenance.
Maybe in South East Asia on some small islands there are even cheaper places to live. For me it wouldn't be nice to stay in a bad apartment. There are alternatives however, if you have some capital you could consider buying a boat instead. 5 guys could easily live on a small boat together for 2,000 USD. You just get satellite Internet and you can travel the world and are not bound to any location. This would also help with taxes as you won't be resident of any country. Living space will be smaller than any apartment, but you can take a swim whenever you want. And it feels like being the king of the ocean  ;D

in life nothing is parmanent, while on chipmixer or any other campaign it might be, it is a curious decision to make effective utilization of such an opportunity, atimes we tend to forget about the reality in life, some people have been there before we all find ourselves in our respective campaign and such will continue, that is one of the main reasons this thread was created, to help members position themselves on a better stand with the effective utilization of their campaign earnings to make a better living as I thought though.

when a family of 5 sought to look for a better living standard in an environment that will make life comfortable at it best with the little earnings from signature campaign i think that is an application of wisdom, yet you will leave a good live together with the family members and have opportunities to make something tangible out of the geographical location you finds suitable for a living minding it cost effective.

many lack the ability to manage their resources thinking it will last for live, but when you discover a place that can provide you with all standard of living you could desire for then it is also a wise decision to cease such opportunity to maximize savings and make another alternative means for earnings, this may be in form of an investment, business, property, service rendering, or any other thing one could find suitable enough to run as an alternative means of income, one thing am very sure and accurate about is making a living in a country where the value of their currency is highly far below the standard USD, when such is exchange it will sum up to a huge amount which could be reasonable enough for any plan in place.

The way I see it (and correct me if I'm wrong since I'm observing from outside) the problem is that your financial system is flawed. Reagan screwed you in the 80's and things only got worse since others piled on. Take the ridiculous taxing system. When a large portion of your paycheck goes to Uncle Sam, you are already screwed before you even begin working.
On top of that the rigged credit based (or better said debt based) economy that you guys have is practically guaranteeing inflation and hardship without any need for external factors such as printing money.

What's your timeline for becoming a millionaire?

Generally speaking, if you have around a million dollars in your investment portfolio, then presumably you should be able to draw upon that at about a 4% per year rate (which is $40k per year and $3,333 per month) and to largely be able to continue with that amount of withdrawal in a near perpetual manner (theorist presume 30 years, but I suppose it depends upon how you assess its value and if you really can get your portfolio to earn more income than your withdrawal rate).

Of course, if we are talking about being able to live off of $300 per week, then our numbers are ONLY about 36% of the millionaire amount - which largely should mean that we should be able to generate $300 per week from ONLY $360k of an investment portfolio... presuming a 4% withdrawal rate... and hopefully a way of investing that generates at least more than 4% per year on average.

Nationally, the average cost of living in my country 2022 : $378 (month)
- City where I live now: $270 (month)
- City with the Cheapest Cost of Living: $200 (month)
- City with the Most Expensive Cost of Living: $450 (month)

If calculated with your question $1500/week - then each is equivalent to $300/month. which means it is very possible with five roommates to live very comfortably. Example, if it is used only for 1/person for 1/week = $300 more than enough. My country is quite poor isn't it? yes but I think there are still country that are much poorer than the country where I live.

If I'm not mistaken, I've also said this before when presenting the BTC price at the time ($69k).
which means,I have to work hard for 7 years with an income at the company I work for,to earn money ($69k).

oh yeah i mean this : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5366161.msg58239094#msg58239094

Besides that, I also have a simple family. which makes me have full responsibility to provide for, provide a decent place and must have savings for the future. if only relying on income from real work will never be enough.

So, are you really planning to change your nationality? ;D

I doubt Apocollapse meant being a millionaire in terms of dollars or USD. Being able to earn 1,500 dollars per week will not make anyone a millionaire (dollars) but if you will consider other currency that has much lower value than dollars such as Philippine Pesos. Then, there's a high possibility that you can be a millionaire on your country. Anyway, that is if you only do signature campaign and do not invest or trade.

There are many countries where $1500 is a fine amount to live like a king.
In asian country - if you know the language and you are well of the culture - you can easily find a decent place to live and you can have a good food on the table. In particular if you are an english speaker - you will find a lot of work options as well.

I do not know how good of a strategy that is going to be. In as much as it sounds like a good idea, living in a third world country is not as easy as you imagine, i live in one by the way; and over here more than 70% of the population, minus the privileged rich people, would 'kill' to move over to a first world country to start a new life there, need i also remind you that the same privileged rich people every now and then travel to first world countries on vacation, to spend their money, etc, the only reason why many of them would not relocate permanently to a first world country is because they make their money back home.

There are many reasons why you would not want to relocate to a third world country, one is electricity, the power supply is so poor, and in the end you will be spending a huge amount of money on fuel or diesel to power your generator for 24 hours a day. Bad roads, noise and air pollution, insecurity, inflation, poor standard of living etc are other reasons. Taxes and bills are higher in first world countries simply because the standard of living is high, and you are paying for a good life, it is not so in third world countries, taxes and bills aren't as high because the standard of living is low, and if you are going to maintain a good standard of living for yourself there you have to pay so much, you have to literally 'buy' it, but not in the form of tax or necessary bills because the goverment provides nearly nothing, example it is better you provide electricity yourself through your generator than pay light bill for an epileptic power suppy.

A million dollars is really huge amount, I might become the top 10 the most richest person in my country. As been mentioned by @Jemzx00 I mean is becoming a millionaire in my own local, not the whole world especially the developed countries where they got paid thousand or a hundred thousand per week. I think get paid $300/week in my country already enough to become a millionaire or even a billionaire, it's mean a lot for me. Because each week I have to survive with just $25/week only, it may sounds a peanut for you, but if you live in poor countries, you will know it.

I was born from a poor family and come from poor country, but I didn't blame anyone why I born from poor because they're (my parents) will also want to make me happy even with their poorness or lack of many things. I never stop dreaming that I will become a millionaire in the future, of course I have already prepared anything including my degree, certification, and soft skills to find a good jobs will better payrate.

I think 4% per year is already good amount return, banks interest rate doesn't even reach 4% and have any fee or charge lol. I think 2-4 years per year is more realistic and that's why I do diversification, to prevent from losing more even I didn't earn to much. I'm 100% trust in Bitcoin, but I only invest around 50% on Bitcoin, 30% on gold, and 20% on stock.

Yes, I agree with you... but in the scenario that OP created in his thread... he wants to relocate to a country where he can live like a King with the small earnings that he gets from the highest paid signature campaign on this forum.

Now, I work on contract in Africa for a few months in a year... so I know exactly what you are saying about poor infrastructure and shitty electricity.. but you have to adapt...and if you adapt, you can succeed. We operate a fully functioning company in Africa under those circumstances. (Solar power / UPS's / Water purifiers / Driving 4x4's to adapt to the road conditions... etc.)

I think the most negative aspect of this will be the high crime rates / Corrupt government officials / Africa time at which things are done.... but high unemployment help to keep wages lower.... so we can have gardeners and cleaners etc.... that we cannot afford in 1st world countries. These people would not have had an income if we were not there... so we bring employment opportunities to help them support their families.  ;)

To be honest, corrupt government officials are the reason foreign companies flourish and do well in Nigeria. They can easily bribe to bypass environmental laws and the natural order of things. The companies come to Africa because they can make exploit the people, we don’t need them they need us. The salaries they pay their workers are below standard, the workers don’t have proper healthcare. Foreign companies have the freedom than in the United States.

Apart from the correct government officials, the Nigerian system itself is not complicated. Every law and order was created to be friendly with everyone. Even if they were to pay the necessary fees, it will not be huge compared to what happens in outside countries.
If our leaders could be 50% good compared to their mates outside Africa, Nigerian will be a heaven.

When these foreigners come to Nigerian, they respect every order and laws because at first they aren't rigid. But my fellow country men will find a way to discredit their fellow Nigerians or poison the heart of the foriegn investors.
For instance, there is a Chinese company in my country that sales phones, phones accessories and electronics. I was a branch manager of the company. When this country first came, they rent 3 bed room apartments for their managers, supervisors and maintenance managers. They pay flight tickets for the staff for monthly meetings. But it didn't last long that they changed their minds and stopped providing accommodations, every staff uses bus to go Lagos for monthly meetings which take like 8 - 11hrs. Salaries reduced and yet they are recording more sales.
They were asked to join the system but they are making much more money.

Nigeria is a land of freedom to the best of my knowledge.

A vast range / vast ideas have been poured in here. Don't forget too do your own checks before you move into any country out there. It's frankly cold out there. Get too know the do's and don't in any country of your choice, Avoid corrupt countries and move too a country with high security, your safety matters alot, still having thoughts on what your daily intake will be. A great wildlife in the African countries, have fun as you make you move and also in other places like Philippines, Sweden and South American. Please be safe.

What did the OP decided? Has he found any place in the world where he can live like a king?
I am eager to know what did he decide? There are a lot of suggestions in this forum and they are really good.

I suppose there is a fair point to be made regarding what is a millionaire in terms of the frame of reference, and also how much money does any person need in their particular country to be able to be assured that they have reached fuck you status - or whatever might happen to be their goal.. to feel some higher degree of financial comfort/security.

For example, frequently we would use the term fuck you status to suggest that there is no longer any need to work for anyone else or even to have to work at all, so in that sense if there continues to be work, then the work remains a lot more optional than having something like a job in which you have to report on a daily basis and rules are largely created by your employer.

The circumstance in which any person is going to measure there financial freedom is going to vary - and of course, in a forum like this we frequently will refer back to the dollar in order to attempt to have some kind of a common reference point.. so in that regard, it is understandable that there might be some difficulties in grasping how many dollars might be needed to live comfortably in some other location, but also if any of us might become dependent on earning money in some other location (rather than just consuming) then we would have to account for those circumstances too... even though surely, it is helpful to attempt to get some kind of comparative reference in regards to how the majority of people in any given country might be living in order to attempt to figure out whether we might try to live there (even if just temporarily).


I speculate that you should be able to figure out for yourself how much you need to live, how much you would prefer to have and how you anticipate the future to change (or stay the same) in such a way that you would be able to project what is "millionaire status" for you.

I doubt that it matters very much whether I believe that you are able to live "on peanuts" or not because you are the one that would need to carry out such calculations regarding whether you would like to continue to live within the amount that you are already accustomed to spending or if there might be some plausible way to increase your standard and if that would even be worth it to you to even attempt to increase your standards.

For more than 20 years, I have been using an Excel spreadsheet to project my cashflow, and surely with practice, I have gotten more sophisticated in terms of how I project ahead and to consider how much I might need based on different circumstances that I might face.  Of course, living in western areas tends to be more expensive, but there are pockets of more affordability too.  There is a also a lot of savings that might come in terms of moving to either a low cost location within the same country or going to another country - but at the same time, if there is a lot of moving around, then the expense of travel and relocation should be accounted, too... including the extent to which replacement goods might need to be purchased, so for sure, there can be a lot of savings by not having to replace goods that you already have and are using.

Anyhow, it seems that part of my point would be that you should be able to figure out some ballpark ideas regarding how much you need based on your circumstances, and then to be able to attempt to project out how long it would take to get there (with better case and worser case scenarios contained therein).  I am not even proclaiming that any of the projection matters would be clearly established, but you should be able to get some ideas including attempting to account for changes in the cost of living or even a variety of circumstances that you could end up confronting.. and maybe try to plot out the more likely scenarios first, and then maybe attempt to plot out ways that you might want to improve the projections (if that were to be one of your goals?).


Nothing wrong with wanting to stay connected with your family.



Surely, it is good if you are identifying steps that you can take to improve your options and also making on going progress in terms of various actions that you are taking.. and surely, I understand that frequently, there will be less clarity if you are not sure about which kinds of job opportunities that you might end up entering into and if some of those jobs end up helping you to get to another level or if you might end up getting limited in your jobs.. so in some sense, it can be difficult to project when some of the variables are not known.


Of course 4% is a standard projection that is made, but of course, if you get 20-30 years of investing under your belt, you should be able to better project how much you believe that you will be able to continue to earn.  Bitcoin should be helpful to any long term investment portfolio, and of course there can also be uncertainties in terms of any investment portfolio.. so when you are building your portfolio you would likely be trying to balance out growth and security of your principle.. and when you are in your earlier years of investing, you likely want to emphasize growth, but you still need to be careful not to put too much of your principle at risk .. or at least understand and appreciate the trade offs when taking those kinds of risks.. and you could end up staying poor forever, if you are gambling with your principle all the time - even though I understand that there are also examples of folks who got rich because they put a lot of their principle at risk..

I have never considered putting a lot of principle at risk to be a good investment approach.. and surely people are going to vary in terms of their risk tolerances, too... but they are also going to vary in their other circumstances too, such as access to capital and also skills, abilities and even their age could be a factor in terms of having time to recover if they fuck up.. that is if they are willing to take chances that they might be more able to do when they are younger rather than when they get older if they have never really built anything, then they might not be in a position to continue to take chances, even though some older people think they are too late, so they take risks hoping to make up for their earlier fuck ups.

Lol.  At this stage in my life, I'm not sure I'd adapt so well in a foreign country away from friends and family, though I did say I was going to become a Canadian resident if Trump was elected president a few years back (I'd have to search for the post).  Luckily I chickened out and he never did end up starting a nuclear war.  So this thread is more about my fantasy than actual planning for the future.  On the other hand, if I found the right group of people to be my roommates, who knows what could happen?

I haven't decided anything thus far and may never--but Zimbabwe is looking pretty damn good unless someone can change my mind.

so are you really going to move there?
Seems intersting - you seem rich though.But good luck with your search and there are  alot of suggestion and lots of ideas you might be liking them.

The source of wealth that was drained by migrants carrying heavy equipment then left scars on all the mountains, the land became barren and the residents only got the impact of what is called the government's greed. They include it in the list of state finances without thinking that the impact will be on the communities around which the company stands tall. Old resources are gradually depleting carbon dioxide mixed with chemical fumes.

Natives are considered manual laborers and immigrants as kings. Despite the pretext to advance the economy, if we look at the impact in the next 10 years or even 20 years, we will inhale a plume of chemical fumes that take the lives of small children.

Gov are mostly corrupt but people find their ways.
Noone like the corrupt people and corrupt yet there are so many way we are helping corrupt gov, if public starts refusing and starts saying no to illegal actions and order. Would the gov be able to make corrupt move? No not at all. So the people need to stand up! Stand up tall!

Even though you admit that you are NOT quite serious to actually carry out recommendations here, many of the parameters that you set forth do seem to be realistic - except trying to coordinate the pooling of resources through 5 guys.... so in that regard, there would likely need to be one or more of the participants (perhaps yourself) who would be willing to cover the expenses during periods in which you are searching for your 4th and/or 5th guys.. and maybe there could be times in which more of them could end up abandoning.  Even though I have lived in similar kinds of situations (like a group house), I understand that some of the ways for setting it up might be different from my own experiences and/or expectations.

Regarding the citizen status, you might not have to get citizen status.. maybe resident status.. but sure, it is good to explore if there might be some ways to stay in some locations for longer periods of time because the country happens to not have strict limitations or difficulties in acquiring citizenship/residency.


I look forward to hearing about your trip to Zimbabwe.. hahahahaha.. whether in this thread or if you create another one.

Foreign companies love cheap labour, it’s incredible the position we put ourselves in the same of keeping a job. There is poverty and hunger in these countries and the companies know this and they exploit the people. The corrupt government are silenced with bribes in the form of money and contracts, it is the people who are left to suffer. That’s why immigration from this places are high

I look forward to hearing about your trip to Zimbabwe.. hahahahaha.. whether in this thread or if you create another one.

Zimbabwe fuels he's fantasy alot, and I'm pretty sure it's one of the safest place to be.
I'm positive you'll get whatever you want though ( either of Zimbabwe and South America ) I see South America as a possible back up move for you just if Zimbabwe eventually doesn't go as planned. Ensure you go hunting with the villagers and enjoy your stay over that ends, likewise JJJ, would love too hear about your move Sir. Possibly inna new thread, Cheer's!

It seems that this thread is already framed broadly enough for forum members to share any of their travel (whether permanent or temporary or whether historical, in current times, or planned for the future) that they want to share. 

Surely, I might bring up some of my location matters from time to time (where I am at or where I have been), and I am not a stranger in regards to travel to various locations (different countries), yet if you look at my profile, you will see that my ratio of number of new threads created is quite low as compared with my number of posts... so I don't really like to open new topics, but I don't mind piggy-backing on topics that are already made (if the topic interests me).

By the way, there might be some threads on this forum that kind of relate to some travel/cost of living topics covered in this thread, but I will admit that I did plea with The Pharmacist to keep this thread open because I do find it to be a very interesting topic.. but seemingly for reasons that differ from some of the areas of interest that The Pharmacist has stated.

In the scenario that there's really a country that will make 60$ to 100$ cost of living as King, The only problem that will arise is if that country has a strong internet connection for you to continue signature campaign posting or if the country has bank/payment method option that will allow you to convert your crypto earning to there local fiat because the only country that will satisfy this dream is a 3rd world country and probably on secluded location which is still not civilized enough.

In Philippines, You can live for only 300$ per month including the rent on a province that is far away on the city. Your only problem is the internet connection since internet signal here doesn't cover area that has few people.

Of course every area will is different but for around me $300 per month is enough for rent and this is in a city point with a smooth internet connection with connection fees also not too expensive, around $5 per month is enough if we just browse forums and other browsing.

But if we have a fixed monthly salary of $300 and plus a signature campaign I think it's sufficient for the necessities but not the luxury the kings see.
But we are quite happy with the situation like this.

Lets just face or get used to this stuff since it was really just common sense for big companies on having this kind of idea on where taking out advantage on a particular place  which does have cheap labor which it isnt surprising that they would be utilizing such kind situation which is sad but there's nothing we can do about it since they are running off a business.So its expected
that they would really be having advantage of it thats why to those people who are knowledgeable enough then finding up ways on searching for another job which isnt something that
hardcore in labour or effort but it could make them earn even without losing up their dayjob.

Come and settle in Indonesia. In my country (Indonesia) it is quite easy to get citizenship. only condition
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- Must have settled or lived in Indonesia for at least 5 consecutive years. or if you commute or don't stay then at least you have to visit Indonesia for at least 10 years
- Can speak Indonesian (in fact many have Indonesian citizenship but don't speak Indonesian fluently) so take it easy, it's flexible.
- You must obey state regulations. and other light conditions.

Indonesian people are also known to be friendly. and the price of food and stuff is very cheap.

I didn't even think I could spend $1500 in one week. because in Indonesia $1500 is enough to be able to enjoy a luxurious life.

me when I was going through my hardest time in life. then $10 is enough to cover 1 week needs of me and my wife and kids. and I thought if I had $1500 per week. then I can live like a king here. even I can hire some waiters to pamper my body with exotic massage every day hahahaha.

for me, if later I can make $50 per week, it means that I can live comfortably and be able to buy my baby the toys he wants. and i want to have $50 per week from signature campaign one day when i become full member.

but I'm very grateful because I can make around $25 per week from my daily trading even though I have to struggle to analyze and fight the flow in a bear market. but ALHAMDULILLAH I was always given the advantage.

note: _{to my family "I will fight to make you happy"}

I pray that you can reach Full Member as soon as possible...

I am also from Indonesia and currently my income from the signature campaign is around $35, I am very grateful for that because the money I get from signature can help the economy of my small family. besides that I also generate income from selling women's accessories online. I'm always happy with people who fight for their families.

sorry, i ran out of smerit for you :'(

If I were in your position I wouldn't know what to buy each week. Maybe save 30% on Bitcoin, and the rest take his wife and kids out for a walk. The ChipMixer signature campaign makes us envious, hope the ChipMixer campaign keeps going until I have the chance one day. It's amazing that all of you can support your family amidst the uncertainty of government policies that only hoard wealth for themselves.
Regardless, luckily the forum is still alive and we quite frankly rely heavily on signature campaigns. Whether it's just me or indeed almost 90% of all feel it. In my country, it is very difficult to get a permanent job, let alone have a bachelor's degree.

investing on crypto is very risky - don't you think so?
It is better to save up and invest in some local business which is reliable and authentic. People get money but the tales of hacking are very upsetting

I would say investing in crypto is very risky.. so fuck that ambiguous nonsense.

If you understand the difference between shitcoins (frequently referred to as "crypto") and bitcoin, then there are likely some very solid investment strategies for bitcoin, whether you are ONLY able to invest small amounts or if you can invest larger amounts, you should consider your investing into bitcoin to have a 4-10 year timeline or longer and develop a strategy that is tailored to your own circumstances. 

Bitcoin seems to be one of the best asymmetric bets to the upside that anyone (any normie) can make in these times, and you can choose very small amounts, which frequently cannot be accomplished through a large variety of other investments (not talking about shitcoins, here.. fuck shitcoins. don't get involved in anything other than bitcoin in terms of the crypto category)..

In regards to hacking. then there is going to be preferences to hold your bitcoin privately.. but many times, I do suggest to people that they should be able to hold on a reputable exchange until they get to a certain amount.. for sure, everyone is going to be different in terms of which exchanges are available or other ways to get bitcoin and to hold them privately, and if you are  possibly dealing with small amounts, then you might want to wait until they get to a certain level before moving them to your private wallet.

But the problem is that things like this are sometimes not profitable for local residents in an area.
For example, in my area, there is a foreign company that is quite large, let's call it a company from country H. This company is quite large and is supported by government authorities on the grounds that it can add jobs. if you look closely, maybe yes, but if you look at the salary comparison that is applied, it is clear that this is quite far from the average, moreover they continue to bring foreign workers from their countries to be employed as superiors in their own companies and even though local residents have the ability in their fields, they still don't will be able to compete for the same position which in the end remains under the foreigner in office.
It's clear as if they want to monopolize the local residents to work continuously by depleting the state's natural resources but on the other hand the profits remain in their hands and the citizens who have power due to the reasons of the company owner.

I thought about another good way how you live cheaply without spending much money. I got this idea from a friend during our university time, he managed to live for free for 2 years in really nice house. The good thing is this works all around the world with no need to move to a far away country for cheap housing. Unfortunately this only works alone, for a group of friends this is not feasible.
The basic idea is to find a city with a big university and strong housing demand. In that city you look for big houses close to campus with a lot seperate rooms. After renting the whole house, you divide it into single rooms that you then rent out to students. One room remains empty and will be your room, while rent of the house is divided by the remain rooms. Basically you become the landlord of a rented apartment. There is some risks involved and it costs time to manage it, but if you have good tenants there shouldn't be an issue. And if you have some spare time you could do things like taking care of the garden and clean the house and community areas. All these works you can then again charge the tenants. So if you don't mind living with students you could live for free. It's not like living a king, because the room is small and you have to share a kitchen with strangers. But you can atleast use your whole signature campaign funds for other things, like atleast eating and drinking like a king, or just investing that spare money.

Another vote for the Philippines from me. One, it's where I was born in. Two, I happen to be, or had been, in a position, to know the former president. If that's not enough, I happen to be a commissioned officer in the military, so I can get away with very minor traffic violations, or enter places I would not otherwise have access to.

But even if you have none of those, its a decent enough place to live in, even if you are white as a vampire and stick out like a sore thumb. Stick to the top two large islands. If you decide you like the bottom one, try to stick to Davao city or other place that has large buildings, banks, shopping malls. You should be fine.

You can probably stay as a tourist for about 1 year, then you can worry about alien registration to stay longer or indefinitely. You'll need some sort of paperwork and documents if you intend to open bank accounts, and you'll need that even if you have lots of crypto / bitcoin because you'll have to pay for most things in fiat.

Zimbabwe is a great country I'm also looking forward to tour because of their vast culture and tourism for expatriates. The people in Zimbabwe are known to be courteous, friendly and cheerful. When meeting people most of them shake hands or say the common greetings. When women meet men, they curtsy or at gatherings they crouch down, as a sign of respect.

Cotton, tobacco, gold, ferro alloys and textiles/clothing comprise the major items that Zimbabwe exports. Amazingly, Zimbabwe has one of the highest literacy rates in Africa. 86.5% of its population is literate.

Zimbabwe Currency
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) used to print money to fund the country’s budget deficit before early 2009. This led to hyperinflation that saw the reserve bank print a 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollar note, which currently holds the record for the note with the highest number of zeros in recorded history.
The Zimbabwean government started releasing bond notes in November 2016 as a parallel currency. The government claimed that the bond notes will help ease cash shortages because it will have a one-to-one exchange ratio with the US dollar.

https://i.ibb.co/S349xBL/Zimbabwe-Hyperinflation-2008-notes.jpg
https://www.kickassfacts.com/zimbabwe-facts/
The World Bank stopped tracking inflation in Zimbabwe in November 2008, when it reached 79.6 billion percent. One year later, the country abandoned its currency. The exchange rate at the time was $35 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars to $1 USD.

Victoria Falls
One of the largest waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls, is located on the Zambezi River. It is wider than a kilometer and has a height of more than one hundred meters.
https://i.ibb.co/TtSbqSz/victoria-falls-zambia-timbuktu.jpg https://i.ibb.co/km0Pvzd/0-helicopter-ride-zambia-experience-victoria-falls-timbuktu-travel.jpg
https://www.timbuktutravel.com/region/victoria-falls-zimbabwe-safari
The waterfall was named after Queen Victoria by well-known explorer of Africa David Livingstone (1813-1873) and was discovered in 1855. The noise of Victoria Falls can be heard from a distance of 40 kilometers. You can notice spray and mist from the falling water from a height of 400 meters, and it can be seen from a distance of 50 kilometers. During floods, the water flow capacity can reach approximately half a million liters per minute.

No doubt that Zimbabwe is a great country, but you are sharing information from tourist point of view. It is fun to visit new countries and see new places, but Pharmacist was searching for country to live in. He would not visit Victoria Falls everyday, he could spend several months to visit every sightseeing place in Zimbabwe. Then what he should do? What his daily routine life in Zimbabwe would look like?

Do you expect to suddenly become an expatriate in a country without having a taste of what it looks like? This has to surpass our normal fantasies about what we think of a country or the beautiful places we would like to visit.

It all depends on what he intend to do in there. Zimbabwe is one of the developing countries I'm the world and we know those factors that are being faced by this country. Zimbabwe is a landlord country which is a major concern when it comes to exportation and importation of goods and services. It is not linked to the ocean where cargo ships can easily transport goods from one country to another without having to pass through land.

The question of what to do in Zimbabwe depends on the major interest of The Pharmacist whether he's going there to stay self employed or create one or two things that will yield income for him too. It's a matter of choice!

I know many expatriates in my country that are currently working and earning good salaries without staying idle. Although it all started from being a tourist before they finally settle down to acquire their own houses and get place to work. Some tourists/expatriates might decide to establish their own businesses and create employments to earn from multiple sources.

You need to stand that to live a routine lifestyle in a foreign country, you need to be there first to have a clue and knowledge of how things works there. Glancing through articles and tourism sites could also help you to sharpen and broaden your knowledge about such place so you can plan ahead.

I see you have taken my post very personal. I did not mean to somehow offend you (if I did - sorry), or maybe disappoint. I just wanted to say, that when making such suggestions, a lot of people take into consideration their experience while there were vising country as a tourists. Living in a country as a tourist and living in a country as an employee or like a local citizen is completely different.

Like a lot of Russians now migrated to UAE because they were there for vacation, it is warm there, they had a lot of fun there. In reality UAE does not wait them wide open hands. People from other UAE neighbor countries have already taken all good positions, and Russians are not willing to work on a construction site or something of that kind.

Zimbabwe is a great country with great people, it has a lot to discover. But when I google it and switch to images, second (https://images.theconversation.com/files/258731/original/file-20190213-181593-19s2zwn.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=1200&h=675.0&fit=crop) shown picture starts to scare me a little.

I believe in unity and being our brother's keeper, I never in any form considered what you have written as an offence or take it personal dude. I only tried to expatiate more on what I've written about Zimbabwe and some of the things we need to know. If my write-up looks offensive, pardon me for my wrongs, thanks!
Yes, being a tourist has limited benefits and the person would not be able to stay as long as they want unless they renew their visa. Although staying in a country as tourist is just for the fun. Going from one place to another and having fun with by eating foreign food, visiting beautiful places. Zimbabwe is a beautiful place to live.

  Trust you good Mr TP ? Seen you haven't been quite active as you use too be. That's by the way..Stay clear some of those nicotine if you do have long walks and go flex your muscles. I'm sorry too say, but, I dug into profile (lol) noticing you love pretty dog's and cat's and sunshine likewise. Having said that, I thought you'd want to visit the top ten tourist centers at Zimbabwe whenever you eventually move over that ends. You should visit the Lion and Cheetah Park, such a beautiful place to be and get Wowed( Venomous snake's, Zebras, Lions and Tommy the tortoise over 250+ ages ), of which I know you won't be.
As I think the best possible way too get first class information about Zimbabwe is to be a tourist and get all the possible information.

Some top ten tourist centers you might probably look in whenever you do,

• Victoria falls
• Great Zimbabwe
• Khami ruins
•  Matobo
•  Mtarai Falls
• Lake Kariba
• Mazowe dam
• Tsindi Ruins
• Mukuvisi Woodland
• Antelope Park

Are you suggesting that there would be significantly high safety issues for whities who stand out too much in the Philippines?  Does familiarity help with not being a kidnapping/ransom target, or are there just some folks who are targeting whities for economic reasons in the more rural areas (or the areas that you outlined)?

For the various folks recommending countries in Africa, I am thinking that quite a few African country rural locations would be less safe than places like the Philippines, and of course, it is one of those things that likely is going to vary from country to country, and usually the more major cities are going to be safer than rural areas... but also that anyone might proclaim that it hardly ever happens, but there  can be quite a few reasons that "it hardly ever happens," and we may well even be entering into an era in which anyone perceived to have access to dollars will be even more of a target because of what seems to be ongoing world-wide economic declines - and at the same time, even though people with dollars still might be kind of fucked - but for a while they still might be less fucked than some others who are experiencing economic declines that surely do not even affect people within countries in any kind of equally distributed way.   

Only in the really isolated far areas. There are lots of whities in the big cities, so it's no longer much of an issue. All the police are there too, to make sure whities don't become targets.

The whities who end up in the news are the ones going too far away from civilization or some secluded beach spot, and where there is little to no law enforcement. Don't go there, you'll be fine.

I just discovered that if I rank-up to senior member, my campaign income might be able me to live a modest life in Georgia, Eastern Europe. Georgia has a cost of living that is extremely affordable. The currency of Georgia is the Georgian Lari (GEL) and 2.94 Lari can be exchanged for $1. The average living costs in Georgia capital city-Tbilisi according to  educations.com  (https://www.educations.com/study-guides/europe/study-in-georgia/student-housing-18944)for one person in its capital Tbilisi is about 1280GEL (US$415) a month and my campaign signature can give me a monthy revenue of about $220.
I intend to share a room with a student or tourist which would save me $185 since the monthly rent for a 1 bedroom apartment is1140GEL ($370). I can even save more money if I decide to stay in hostel accommodation or shared rooms for international students or tourists which cost less than $100 per month. The average utilities’ cost of 210GEL ($70) would also be divided into two making me to pay just $35. Hence I might end up spending just $195 per month or less.

One of my greatest barrier would be language because getting accommodation might be difficult since I do not speak either Georgian or Russian. But I intend to engage the service of a private rental agency to secure accommodation before my arrival. Another challenge would be Georgia’s cash-driven society but there are more than  20 crypto ATMs in Tbilisi  (https://expathub.ge/cryptocurrency-in-georgia/)for converting smaller amounts for residents. But the fees for this service are high and some are not effective. But for non-residents of Georgia, one can exchange Bitcoin and have it deposited directly to any international bank account that accepts SWIFT transfers, in USD or GEL.
I am choosing Georgia because owning and trading Bitcoin is legal. Also tax rates on gains for individual traders are 0%. Bitcoin mining cost is cheap and there is available hydroelectric power and a lack of government regulation. Hence, I can build a career there. Apart from the favorable conditions it offers to Bitcoin, Georgia is a Beautiful and wonderful place to live.    

Unless you just feel like changing scenery for the sake of schooling, I still think a senior member signature pay of $75 is enough to live comfortable in Nigeria. The exchange rate of naira to dollar is in your Favour since you’re paid in Btc/usd, the current rate being $1 = N603, imagine making $300= 180,900 in a month. That’s good pay for a job that’s as flexible as signature campaigns. University education in Nigeria costs about $75 (federal universities), if you’re looking to save more money, hostel accommodation on campus is very cheap, free power supply, security. But if you want to live like a king and stay off-campus, you can get an apartment for $200/year. For your campaign that gives you income of $220 per month. You can pay your rent for the whole year in one month, and still have enough to buy provisions. After covering that, you can spend subsequent pay on your wants.

Wait a minute....what are you saying you dug up on me?  It kinda sounds like you got most of the information correct except for the sunshine thing, and even that isn't completely wrong.  I'm not exactly frightened by your post, but my paranoia is starting to flare up.  Lol.

All of those pics are beautiful, by the way.  I saw a tortoise last year with a metal object that some idiot crazy glued to its shell, and since the torty was still growing, the metal thing got integrated into the shell and can't be removed.  But damn, the torty in your pic looks so much bigger than the one I saw.  They're amazing creatures with very interesting body language and personalities.

That's one of the problems I'd anticipated if my signature campaign castle ends up being located in a non-English speaking country.  I'm of an age where I probably can't learn a new language with enough proficiency to speak it to the natives.  But on the other hand, my plan was to seclude myself in the castle dungeon, where my small living quarters will be and where I'll write for a living.  

Sounds like you've been thinking about this idea yourself--if you end up going through with it, I wish you luck and hope you report your progress.

Lots of typing under the glow of candlelight.

We've heard so much on this thread about relocating majorly to third world countries, but how about for someone like myself who already lives in a third world country wanting to relocate, or maybe take a vacation of nothing less than 4-6 months in a first world country, maybe the USA, Canada or somewhere else, but a first world country.

The Pharmacist I know you live in the USA, so is it going to cost me a fortune to have a vacation of 4-6 months in the United States, in my country i do have what i can call a stable income in real life, if you convert my salary in real life to USD, i take home around $400 per month, how much of that can i save to be able to fund my vacation over there. I am not rich, so what areas are the best for someone of my income to spend a minimal amount and get a good degree of comfort for the time i will likely spend.

---

I am a first degree holder in my country, and for the last 6-12 months or so, i have been applying for scholarships to undertake my MA in European countries like the UK. Canada and the USA as well, for now there is no luck yet, but if i indeed do get some soon or later on, how quickly can it take to adapt to life in the U.S, i know if i get a scholarship, the school will cover a large chunk of my expenses there, but what part-time jobs can a student take up in the U.S, i heard it is easy to school and work over there, it is hard to achieve in my country.

$200/year will not get you a good accommodation, but it all depends on where you live; for $200, you can get a good self-contained accommodation in rural areas and a single room in urban areas; the minimum self-contained accommodation in my city is $330/year (N200k) The bare minimum is $300. (N180k)

If you want to live like a king, you should make your room very comfortable; you'll need at least $1000 (N600,000) to get a TV, AC, kitchen appliances, a bed, and so on. In most parts of Nigeria, a Sr.Member's signature pay cannot make one in the city live like a king. The cost of living is currently extremely high.

A Sr member weekly payment can only make one live like a king if one stays in the hostel where average feeding per day is $10 (N5000).

You know that Zimbabweans are now into the 'lucrative' business of chopping off their toes for money. That even can get them more attention from tourists.


Please what federal school are you talking about here in today's Nigeria? It will cost more than that now. Maybe you used the record of the past to judge this because that is not what i see in schools now. Or maybe you are talking of schools in the north and in the west. Federal institutions in the east collect more than that annually. Yes it is true that accommodations inside schools can be cheap but they are often too dirty to stay in.

Cost of living can be high in Nigeria, in Belgium it is even a lot higher. If you want to rent a place with 1 bedroom, bathroom and a small kitchen and living area, you need at least 400 - 700 $/month (depending in which city you want to live). I live in one of the bigger cities in Belgium (Bruges) so there prices for an apartment to rent are about 600 $/month.

Its almost Philippines Independence Day!!!

I am Pinoy! And I believe that "stable" flow of weekly $1500 would put you in the UpperClass here. Inferior only to multimillionaires(Php),

so to answer your question(s)

Yes you can live like a King (lavish-lifestyle), here.

Say your $1500 /week 5 people (

Beach Front Housr to Rent( 100usd per day for 5 people)
Inclusive of water and electricity.(no miners of course).

That leaves you more almost a grand to spend on food, booze or whatnot.

That beach house property is with neighbors of course. But it could be less than 10 people youll see if you dont go out of the yard/beach.

)

If you dont like neighbors, you can rent some resthouse, in the rural brgys.
I tried that for more than two months last august to october last year. Solo I only spent less than 500 usd for that period.. I was not picky with food, so most of it was spent on cigarette and occasional pale-pilsen(beer).

I didnt rent a  I just setted up a wouldbe tent but the owners whom my roots are affiliated ended letting me use a room in their house. XD

If you want I can upload a vid taken there. Let me know ill send you a link via pm.


Getting citizenship--

not sure but I believe yiu can extend your VISA every monthbor two for 40usd more or less


EDIT:06/22: here is a good vlog entitled : The Cost of Living in the Philippines(A Day in My Life Abroad) by Nate Hovee.

https://youtu.be/AQDXnn29ywM

shifting to another country is itself not an easy task. It required a lot of mental stress and physical affert. However - if you ready to do that and you have good cash in hand than obviously you should go for it. But inflation and high fuel prices are creating trouble everywhere. I still am interested in know has OP went anywhere? And what is he up to these days? Is he living like a king now?

like its almost similar to in my country. but $50 in my country can't be king. But can live comfortably and a little luxury. But if a family of 5 people and each person earns $300 per week for a total of $1500 then this can only be life like a king. Just look at the conversion of dollars into my country's currency, namely Rupiah. 1 USD = 14,614 Rupiah. so if $50 USD = 730,740.50 Rupiah. and if $1500 USD = 21,921,000 rupiah.

be a lot right? plus the price of goods and food in my country is very cheap.

With an income of $50 per week, it is enough for needs as long as there is no rent to pay, meaning we already have our own place to live (home).
I am an Indonesian citizen, $50 is enough for my family, which means that in 1 month I can earn $200 or the equivalent of 2,922,990 rupiah plus income from real work, of course in a month I can make $450 more or less but it is enough to be like a king as long as we live with my wife and children, if there are other siblings who are still supporting us in our lives, of course the income is not enough, but I am grateful that the three of us live and that income with their needs is quite like a king.

Other costs, such as Wifi, electricity, water, etc. are still quite within reach.

What - really?
Is indonesia this cheap? One of my colleague went to Indonesia and she liked the place - but she was robber by the house maker. Do you experience that too? How do you compensate this. if something bad happens.

My best guess is that if you live in a 3rd world country you could possibly live comfortably just by a signature campaign, depending on which one it is though. For instance, Chipmixer which is mentioned on the thread has the capability of paying up to $300/week or $1500/month. This amount of money is way higher that Greece's minimum wage (approximately $850). Thus, if I ever entered Chipmixer, I wouldn't even have to work.

Personally, I'm satisfied on Roobet, which is paying $220/month for Sr.Members and is definitely a huge help on a monthly basis.

I believe there are countries one can live comfortably even with five persons. Citing Zimbabwe as an example. The place is relatively safe and one can survive with $1500=483,000 ZWL. In my opinion, with five persons earning such an amount in a week, imagine what $15,600 can earn them in a year! That should be king status living if you ask me.

I think the more money you have, the more you need something better for you and your family to enjoy. Obviously we don't just live for money and work, but we have to have a way to have 3 parts out of 24 hours for rest, work and worship (if you are a believer).

I live in a province in a third world country with a minimum monthly wage of around $220, obviously $400 per month from the current signature campaign can make me think about better things like having a potential investment, buying a motorbike and so on. But so far rising inflation has made my total monthly expenses much bigger and $400 per month doesn't seem like enough for my daily needs anymore. Nearly 80% of my signature income goes to making ends meet, and the remaining 20% ​​goes to investment assets or long-term savings. So what does it mean, even if you think that third world countries are much better than others to live in, but severe inflation has made us miserable. The minimum wage is no longer enough to make ends meet, so in the end I just think that third world countries don't always benefit you financially either because inflation is the cause of high prices.

Depends on how our life is, if we want more luxury then we will get it,
I've never experienced anything bad like that, but if there is something you don't want, such as a robbery, it can be reported to the authorities, but by compensating for it, the court will decide.


And I think it also depends on the lifestyle that we do, the more money we have, the higher what we use means that in buying something, we will definitely buy it because we have a lot of money, but in 3 ways we must be able to do it because for me it is is an obligation that must be carried out.

But it's still profitable because some of your expenses have been helped from the results of the signature campaign while your monthly wages are still intact and can be saved for future or other needs.

Well, it seems I also have to think about the future with some potential investments that we hope to enjoy in the future, to be honest with the monthly wages and the unstable signature campaign, it doesn't make me serious about investing in the future because there are Just some sudden needs so that the money runs out every month.

Inflation has been really challenging to deal with these days. Even if we have a signature campaign as a side job and work full time, we can't still live a luxurious life or even buy the assets that we want because our salaries are just enough to sustain our financial necessities especially if we have families to support.
The remaining portion of our salary should really be allocated to investment. The inflation rate is continuously increasing but our salaries don't increase which is a battle that we have to face each day to survive life. However, we should still be grateful that there are lots of opportunities that crypto could offer us. I'm sure that our investments could bring us closer to our goals in the future.

Actually life is very simple, sometimes excessive prestige makes life complicated and full of demands. Live to the best of your ability, which means you have to differentiate between needs and wants. Learn to live according to your needs, not according to your will, because if you live according to your will, whatever you already have will never be enough.
In addition to income from the main job, income from signature campaigns can help with needs. Any additional money earned from the signature campaign should be allocated into savings or invested, this way will bring you closer to achieving financial independence in the future.
Be grateful for what you have now, because happiness and success can only be felt by people who are always grateful.

Indonesia is a big country. with many islands. and also many cultures and of course each island has a different language. Tariffs for each region in Indonesia vary. but on average everything is cheap.
You can also relax about security here. origin is not in the big cities. you have to go a little into the countryside and the village. there you will find natural beauty and heaven on earth. even if you have a wooden stick. and you stick it in the dirt of the street. then it can grow into a plant. Indonesia's soil is so fertile.

and I will recommend one example of tourism that can be very satisfying, but this area is known to be very friendly and cheap. for $1 usd you can be satisfied to go around this city or area by bus. the name of the area is DI Yogyakarta. Even with $1 usd it was enough to buy 3 meals. (3 servings of filling food/morning/midday/evening).
I can't even count the total number of famous tourist attractions in this Yogyakarta area. because it's too much. This is just an example of a few pictures.

it's just a few places. and there are many more beautiful places in Yogyakarta. And remember that Yogyakarta is only one of the regions in Indonesia. There are 34 regions/provinces in Indonesia. and each region has hundreds and maybe even more tourist spots. because some areas have many islands too.

but in yogyakarta alone has more than 16 temples (historical sites). and 2 of them have been recognized by UNESCO as world heritage sites, namely Prambanan and Borobudur temples

Living like a king in Indonesia is very easy. as long as we can be grateful for what we have. even many tourist attractions are free without paying an entrance fee. I am grateful that I was born in Indonesia. maybe someday when i'm ranked enough in this forum to make money from signature then i can vacation with my little family and live like a king. but maybe that's someday because it turns out to be really hard to rank up. so I will enjoy the process and live happily.

Amazing info shared - I too feel like living like a king and move to Indonesia. The place looks so beautiful and mentioning there that in $ 1 one can afford 3 meals a day. That is so supper kool. The tourist destinations are amazing and there is so much natural beauty to explore. A pretty place it is. No doubt

That's tough, due to inflation, my monthly salary is drained by the rising expenses each month, groceries are way more expensive than they used to be. I used to spend 20-30 euros per supermarket trip and would buy plenty of stuff to almost get through the week, now I'll need to spend at least 10 more euros to buy the exact same items.

Don't get me started on petrol, I used to travel around a lot, without considering the cost so much. However, now I'm incapable of doing so, because petrol costs €2.50/liter and filling up would need at least 100€, which is 1/8th of my total salary.

The only positive thing is that I'm yet to touch my earnings from signature campaigns, which are being held for the future.

if you look at how the discussions on this thread started, you will discover that it was not base on either  developed or under developed countries but instead we engage on a collaborative approach on both and how one can manage to live a good and satisfactory live along with the family members via the signature campaign earnings and not otherwise, and all that matters here is on individuals ability to foresee and manage resources for a better living irrespective of location once some certain conditions to deriving a standard of living is maintained.


you're trying to ask a question instead of providing solution to the already asked one from OP title, why not go through the whole thread maybe you could get some meaningful thought as guide.


even though i can't say of Belgium because I've not been to the country before but i can boldly say that in Nigeria such amount is good enough to leave the best comfortability you could ever desire to a certain extent, what we consider here is the cost for a living and the economy situation of the countries, take a look at having $1 to be equivalent to #610 and you could rent a standard two or three bedroom flat in some of it major cities like Abuja, Lagos, Port-hacourt and Ibadan which is apparently very cheap starting from the range of #200,000 to #400,000 in Ibadan while #400,000 to #800,000 in Abuja the Federal capital city, Lagos and Port-hacourt cities respectively, imagine how good this is in Nigeria as all standard of living could be achieved, it's secured and lively as well with constant electricity supply, water and good internet network, and same is applicable to many other African countries.

Talking about cheap, it is clear that Indonesia is one that is quite cheap even if we search on search engines like Google for example with the keyword "Cheapest Country in Southeast Asia" Indonesia must be in the top 5 or 6 list there because it is indeed quite cheap for the cost of living but on the other hand, this is indeed a double-edged sword because the low cost of living is definitely influenced by various things, one of which is per capita income.
But indeed if I see the potential of the natural resources here, it is indeed very good, but it is very unfortunate that things like this cannot be used optimally because there are several reasons and several influencing factors.

Btw I found something interesting about cheapest living (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/cheapest-countries-to-live-in) maybe you want to see this for low cost of living reference :D
although indeed this may not be 100 percent accurate but it is quite interesting to see.

May this signature campaign continue and keep benefiting us.
Thank God we can survive on these campaigns from the comfort of our home without spending fuel and not to spend so much time on the road waiting for the traffic jam to be cleared.

I see that Turkey's name was in the topic also and people discussed about it. But I also want to state my opinion. If you are in a long-running campaign like Chipmixer, it could be a good alternative for you to live in Istanbul in winters and in Antalya in summers. Even though Turkey have been going on the road to be an Islamic country in the recent years because of Erdogan's dictatorial regime, people who live in big countries still prefer a secular lifestyle.

If you ask me if I'm contented with living in Turkey as a Turkish, my answer would definitely be no. The majority of the people around me have already started a new life in Europe or they are trying to do so. Even though the economic condition has a big impact on this, the main problem that people are having now is that they intervene the lifestyle of people here.For example, the president Erdogan said last week that they were imposing an excessive tax on alcoholic drinks with the aim of making people not to drink them.

https://i.hizliresim.com/t391mqh.jpg (https://www.hizliresim.com/t391mqh)

https://movendi.ngo/news/2022/01/11/alcohol-tax-increase-in-turkey-leads-to-declining-alcohol-use-harm/

In short, I would definitely recommend Turkey if you want to go on a short-term holiday. You can have this holiday for a really favourable price which you cannot find this opportunity in many countries in Europe. But if you think of starting a new life here, I think that it would be better for you to reconsider your decision.

Note: In Turkey, people are earning below 250 dollars per month now.

I saw a report a few days ago about Burundi, where the average salary of workers varies between 10 and 15 dollars a month (that's for a whole family). I believe that with the money you earn here you can live like a king there and that shows the huge difference in income inequality between countries.

Hm, this is another kind of discrimination that exists in various parts of the world, but it will be very difficult to stop if something like this happens in a country or an ethnic group within a country.
The role of security will also be a little more difficult to say if it is wise to respond to things like this, even though there are punishments but only as a formality without making them aware.
In this case in my area there is also this kind of thing which is indeed very difficult to control but in this case in my country it is more based on belief than race because my country is a country that is quite compatible in terms of race but it is very difficult to accept and mutually tolerance in terms of beliefs and based on religion.

what a beautiful place. I just found out about this yogyakarta. And it turned out to be true. there goods and food and cheap transportation. Maybe you're right. If you live there, you can enjoy life like a king with even a little money. I hope to be able to vacation there with my family too.

But it is also necessary to know that the entrance ticket to Borobudur Temple is quite expensive today. because this is a world historical site that has been approved by UNESCO. but don't worry, there are still many other temples that are no less beautiful and interesting besides Borobudur, which does not use an entrance ticket or free.
Ah I also want to know what it's like to spend money on signature campaigns like a chipmixer and live like a king. Hahaha

Remember the days when sig campaigns paid out a certain number of satoshis per post or per week?  Back then bitcoin was probably under $15k or so (I can't remember exactly when they all transitioned to a fixed dollar amount), and people still made livings from them--but in countries where the cost of living is low.  That's the whole point of this thread, to figure out what countries in which it might be feasible to live well solely on the proceeds of sig campaigns.

Has anyone seen any statistics on pay rates over time?  I'd be interested to know how much bitcoin (or the dollar amount) could be earned per pay period in each of them throughout the years.  I suspect it's gone down a lot.

It's funny to me that in certain parts of the world, it's assumed that every white person is wealthy.  I don't know if that's considered discrimination, but it's a generalization that's just not true.  If you knew me in real life, you'd have all the proof you need of that!

Stop living in dreamland. Average earnings from signature campaigns nowadays are $200-$250 per month. Gone are the days when campaigns like PrimeDice and Yobit used to pay four-digit salaries for just displaying their signature. And I am living in a third world country and here it is impossible to live like a king, if you are earning less than $2,000 per month. You can live in relative comfort if you have $1,000 per month. And I am sure that nowhere in the world, you can live like a king, if you earn $200-$250 per month. My advice - just work hard, learn new skills and invest your money properly. Maybe within the next 20 years, you will be able to retire and live like a king.

Hey man, the whole reason I'm living in dreamland is because my current place of residence completely sucks ass like nothing you've ever seen ass sucked by--it's bad.  Right now I have no way of improving my situation, either.

Wait a sec.  When you say "four-digit salaries" are you talking in terms of USD amounts?  Because if so, I have to tell you that I remember the Yobit campaign from years back, and they paid 30k sats/post, but bitcoin was likely below $1000 at the time and unless you had 100 accounts enrolled in the campaign (lol, I'm sure some people did) there's no way you were making that much money.

I would also mention that campaigns are still around, after all.  They must be beneficial for the businesses that run them, so I'm not sure why the rates have dropped so drastically.  Do people gamble on crypto casinos less?  Are there fewer exchanges coming into existence?  Most of the bitcoin-paying campaigns from back in the 2015-18 era weren't for ICO projects, and it's not like enthusiasm for crypto has died down at all, so I don't really understand it.

I think there are more beautiful places in this world we can leave like a kind even with the amount less than $1500. $1500 is a big money in most developing countries especially countries that has lower currencies compared to the US dollar. I know of families that are living below $1000 per month that includes their feeding, transportation, rent, and other miscellaneous bills and they still leave like a king.

I know many of my African friends that would be very proud if they could earn $1000 per month especially in a region that has low living cost. Maybe we can take a look at Benin Republic in west African. They have a good currency but is low compared to the US dollar. Living cost is very low whether you are a first class citizen or other classes. Cotonou is also a alternative place to live like a king with low living cost.

https://i.ibb.co/6v2mjrC/Cotonou.jpg
Benin's government regards tourism as a method of diversifying its economy, attracting more foreign investment, and decreasing Benin's dependence on its agricultural industry. Although the government has a National Policy of Tourism Development, it has not made a strong effort to improve tourist facilities or to market Benin as a tourist destination.

https://i.ibb.co/bsk58nM/coton.jpg
live like a king (https://veronicaaesthetica.blogspot.com/2013/08/bienvenue-cotonou.html?m=1)
Cotonou is the largest city and economic capital of Benin Republic, situated next to Nigeria in the west of the African continent. Benin Republic was colonized by the France, hence the official language in Cotonou is French. With a population of about 1.2 million inhabitants, Cotonou lies between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Nokoue.

https://i.ibb.co/N93fCXB/Cotonou-Ancien-Pont-Bridge.jpg
 Ganvie is a popular tourist attraction.  It is a village on stilts in the lagoon, located a few kilometres to the north, just outside of Cotonou.

Some of the best wildlife areas in West Africa are found in north Benin, where Pendjari National Park and W National Park are located.[7] The best time to see the Pendjari National Park's wildlife is towards the end of the dry season.[8] The park is accessible to travellers and accommodation is available.

Indonesia will be very rich with so many islands that there are so many tours that are surrounded by beaches in each area, but each area has beautiful tourist attractions because there are so many of them that it is difficult to choose which one to visit because the country of Indonesia will be very beautiful its nature.

In 2018 I had a vacation with friends from a trip to the island of Bali to Lombok at a cost of $300 which included a round trip by plane and stayed a few days there.

For me, with a little money, I can go on vacation even though it's not far away, but it's like a king who can enjoy everything.
But I'm sure one day Signature will become a stable additional income we can experience some wonderful holidays.

Yobit used to pay BTC0.006 per day and that amounted to BTC0.18 per month. When the BTC price was around $1,000 per coin, it amounted to around $180. So you are right in that case.

But I remember the case with Prime Dice. They used to pay as much as BTC2.4 per month. And that was when BTC was trading at around $1,000 per coin in 2014. So they were actually paying four digits. Too bad that the campaign lasted for just a few months and after that they folded up.

Then there were a few such as BestMixer, WOLF.BET and Ethexbet, which used to pay decent amounts in 2018-19. Mostly in the $400-500 range.

There is. Indonesia.
Try to learn how we live in a country that is very friendly with everyone. Starting from the cost of food to other things that become daily necessities.
In Indonesia you can survive by earning from signature campaign fees. If the pay per week is 70$, then the total income in one month is $280. This amount is normal for 1 month as long as it is used as needed, especially if you are willing to work to earn income outside the signature campaign.

Our country is also not burdensome for anyone who wants to become a citizen, such as recognizing the state foundation of Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution, Having lived in Indonesia for at least 5 consecutive years, never been sentenced to a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment of 1 year or more and there are several more. If all of that has been met, then submit a request to the president.

I have no idea what was the situation back then, but ever since I joined this forum and got into my first campaign (late 2019) I don't remember situation ever being better than it is now when it comes to signature campaigns. I remember situation being much tougher back in the late 2019 when even quality members that are now in some of the best paid campaigns of the forum had issues getting into any. Some even went to Bitvest that was paying like $10 per week for Hero/Legendary rank while situation now is completely opposite as there are more spots than quality members which enables shitposters to easily get into one.



No wonder that they stopped after few months as it makes no sense to pay so much for a signature. Iirc CM also payed some crazy high amount during last bull market but then soon adjusted the rates to a more sustainable ones.

I'm going to replace my words with classification here because it seems more appropriate.
But indeed, in this case it seems that such a classification is still common, especially for some areas and the fact is that when someone who is white visits or does move to an area that can indeed be considered the majority are still struggling in financial conditions, it is clear that they will be considered rich, let alone if their skin is white.
They will be seen more and that is a fact even in my area it is like that too.
But maybe something like this won't happen in your country because if I'm not mistaken in looking at the previous page you said that you are in America so maybe something like this won't happen there but for the Asian region I think this is still rampant because this is like information down and down who really don't know where the source comes from but many believe it ;D

I like this point and indeed, from the point of view of natural resources and beauty, it is clear that Indonesia is one that is worthy enough to be used as reference material for holidays. But actually talking about the price issue is a benchmark regardless of whether it's cheap or not, this has an effect on income.
What I see now is why in Indonesia now many tourist attractions are indeed cheap because indeed the per capita income is also small and what we consider cheap sometimes cannot be said to be cheap for other people.

I really dont know exactly because the thing of "living like a king" its pretty subjebtic. But for me i think you need to plain to go to a "second world country" or in-development country.

But not all the countries in this class, you need to choose one like Brazil , Argentina, Mexico. Because in this you can also improves your degrees. In Argentina for example you have all the education its free included the university and we have a lot of big techs. So you can improves yourself.

The healthcare its also free if you dont have one. Obviusly you have some counter in this kind of countrys but if you have that ammount of money i think you dont have to experience troubles.

One think i dont understand why you say with signatures campaign money but put an example for 1500 usd a week. I dont know if here we have such a big ammount of money paid for the campaign. I belive you can  only earn some like 1200 usd a month at his best. Correct me if im wrong.

$300 for a few days is quite worth it with the experience and the place that is served to be honest some after Covid was relaxed some time ago I traveled there too and the cost was much cheaper (maybe because I was only 3 days) and maybe my place is closer compared to but you do talk about beauty there, I do feel like the king you think, especially with the exotic beaches and pretty good service there adds to the taste of really being a king :D

I have never participated in any signature campaign. but I find out the average earnings from signatures. turned out to be around $20 - $75 per week. depending on the rating of course.

And I was quite surprised because even in my country if you earn $ 20 per week then that is enough to live a normal life. Because in Malaysia the prices of basic necessities are very cheap. And maybe other people will not believe that the price of durian and mango and the like is very cheap here. With US $ 1 maybe we can buy 3 types of fruit and get quite a lot of enough for 1 week. Even if you go to remote areas, the people here will give us fruit for free. So even $20-$75 is a lot in this country. Even some places or malls that look luxurious are actually quite cheap in their prices. Although not as cheap as in a big country like Indonesia. but malaysia can also be said as a country where you can live like a king here only with signature campaign earnings.

try visiting some of these luxury-looking shopping centers which are actually quite cheap and affordable inside.

Everyone is automatically assuming that it is quite easy to get a slot in signature campaigns. Over the years, the number of such campaigns have declined and only a few of them actually pay good amounts. I can only see 3-4 campaigns that are active as of now, and none of them are accepting new applications. The pay rates are in a flux as well. Campaigns such as Stake have pay rates in USD, so even if Bitcoin goes down the participants won't suffer. But most of the others have their rates in BTC and when the exchange rate goes down, the participants are in a loss.

Campaign that has their pay in USD, their participants will benefits more in this bear market  where Bitcoin had fallen to $22K within the period of 3 days now. It will be a hard time to those campaign participants that are paid in Bitcoin rate. The worth of the Bitcoin in US dollar will fall drastically because of the current price of Bitcoin. It will mostly affect escrowed payment in Bitcoin and the campaign manager will have a tough time where distributing payment.

Inflation is everywhere, salary is always fixed and the price of goods and food stuffs are increasing everyday. It takes a person that is receiving good pay to be able to survive in this period. The signature campaign had really helped in one way or the other. $1500 is a big money in many countries especially in some region in Asia and Africa. Living like a king in these region is much possible even with a pay less than $1500.

I made few research and I found a place in Africa where you can stay comfortably with your other 4 guys. With $1500 earnings per week, going to Seychelles you going to live like a king over there, Seychelles is located in east Africa and they are ranked the second richest country in Africa. They have 115 Islands you will be pretty sure that such places attracts people who normally come for tourism. The country speaks English and French which I believe wouldn't be a problem for you guys, and the cost of living in Seychelles is not expensive unless you wanna stay in the hotel in the capital city Victoria where things are pretty high but this is what you will be wowed to know. Seychelles uses Rupee as her currency and the a dollar is equal to this,  $1= 14.22 Rupee so with $400 you guys are going to live happy like a king.

Becoming a citizen of Seychelles is by Naturazation this means you have to spend some years like five years or more and you most be of good character too.
Good luck.

2.4BTC per month? That's insane, imagine having held your signature earnings till now, you could have generated thousands in profit just by signature campaigns. Anyway, I also remember that in 2017-2018, there were an abundance of signature campaigns, till the market crashed and saw a huge decline till I couldn't find an available one to join, shortly after, stupid me abandoned the forum and Bitcoin altogether. I was so disappointed after it crashed from $20.000 down to a few thousand dollars that I didn't even bother till a few years later.

Signature campaigns are a decent opportunity to have as a side income, Roobet is paying $55/week for Sr Members and $70/week for Hero/Legendary. That equals to $220/month ($2.640/year) and $280/month ($3.360) respectively. It's a decent side income that can be used for investment or for a vacation. Let me also remind you that the average income for an individual in Greece is about $7.500 - $9.500 so in both cases, it quickly jumps up your income to $10.000.

Unless you're one of the older and more knowledge members who are in campaigns such as ChipMixer, the chances of living off signature campaigns only is pretty slim.

Though fantasy is to accompany real life story. And I didn't see fantasy in your narration. As for me it is reality and in Economic analysis, $1500 per/week is a huge amount of money that can solve the macro Economic deficiencies in a family of 5.
The macro Economic deficiencies are:
1. Poverty
2. Hunger
3. Squalor
4. Unemployment
5. Clothing etc.
And $1500 per/week can solve the above mentioned deficiencies. Although I am not from Philippine and I don't know their cost of living and the inflation rate but I still believe the amount can be utilized to some extent.

Managers would just simply request if ever the team had give out the overall payment or budget and its up to the team whether they would compensate or would simply stop the campaign.
Most of the campaigns that we do have today do always vary in USD value which means even if drops then the amount of bitcoins or altcoins would simply adjust which means on a dumping
market then the coins would be earned would be more.

So i dont see any difference or for people who do join up campaign to be worried unless if their campaign do pay satoshi/post then it would really
be a great effect into this current market condition.

You don't have to come from Philippine before you leave like a king via signature campaign. There are many countries and region where a family of five or more can live more comfortably with a pay of $1500.  Mr TP is only interested in a country or region where you could live comfortably vai signature campaign. If you take a look at the United States or other advanced countries, you will know that it could be difficult to live more comfortably or like a king  due to the way of life there. I don't mean life is difficult there but their are other places we could live more comfortably like a king.

Indonesia will be very rich with so many islands that there are so many tours that are surrounded by beaches in each area, but each area has beautiful tourist attractions because there are so many of them that it is difficult to choose which one to visit because the country of Indonesia will be very beautiful its nature.

Bali is a very beautiful place. Many people from rich countries move to Bali for nature and for entertainment.
I personally know 2 families who have moved from Germany to Indonesia.

I've been here since 2015, and back then it seemed like there were tons of bitcoin-paying signature campaigns, and I'm not sure if there were even bounties back then because it was before the ICO craziness of 2017-18 (if someone could clue me in on that, I'd appreciate it).  Yobit was running their first campaign, Secondstrade had theirs running, and pretty much anyone could get in to either of those.  That being the case, you can imagine how many crap posts were being made--but that's for a different thread.

After the ICO market crashed and bitcoin tanked in 2018 it seemed like campaigns were drying up, and things got very competitive--and that's exactly what you described, where even older members were applying for low-paying ones and sometimes not even getting in.  Right now I don't even have a sense of how many are running because I have signatures on ignore and I don't visit the Services section.  If I'm right, most aren't paying that much nowadays, because if Chipmixer pays the most at $300/week, I think the rates were much higher back in the day.

Then there must be a language barrier between us, because I stated it a few times in this thread (though you probably haven't read everything; the thread is getting longer by the day).  Anyway, nobody has yet to reach out to me to suggest they'd be my housemate, so for right now it remains simply a fantasy.  I'd like to make it a reality, but there are a lot of barriers to a person moving to a different country without a real job awaiting them there or with little savings, both of which apply to me. 

Indonesia, eh?  It's usually hot there, isn't it?  How's the humidity?

Indonesia's weather is very suitable for living because Indonesia has a tropical climate, the culture is also very good and very tolerant.
Many natural tourist attractions that will make everyone want to linger.

For example, many football players from CONMEBOL countries feel at home in Indonesia, including players from Europe. Means, the climate of Indonesia is perfect for you. Are you interested?

You must quote correctly to make it easier to understand.

Yes, Bali is the most well-known tourist spot in the world, with its beauty, many citizens of other countries have settled.


That's what we want like a king who has lots of banquets and exotic views that are so beautiful, if you or I are in a lot of money maybe we won't go home because we enjoy enjoying a king. lol

In Indonesia it is not too hot (in my opinion) because here is a tropical area, some areas may be said to be hot, but if we visit on a tour, it will become a normal thing regardless of its beauty, then you will be amazed to see it, see some of what I saw share above as your vacation recommendations later. ;D

I am not so sure about this on the payment media for campaigns being in USD. This doesn't sound accurate to me as, I'm pretty sure of you aren't making payments in bitcoin, your not allowed to advertise or make promotional offers in the services boards. The altcoin & bounty boards takes care of this.

What I can say about this is, a bitcoin derivative payment of USD equivalent, following the prevailing market value. You can correct me if am wrong but, that's the idea I've got about these signature campaigns and yeah, there are those that pays purely in bitcoin. That doenst feel so good these days!

How times flies and things change. In the bull market, it was a priced campaign and a few that couldn't coupe had to switch for the USD to BTC equivalent. Now during the bearish market, BTC paying campaigns comes with little interest to most as, its bearing a bull market rate that isn't reflected in the present market condition.

When it comes to living on signature earnings
Looking from the perspective of third world countries and developing countries, we might be quiet fortunate. Especially for the ChipMixer participants. Maybe living like a king or royalty would be way too much or an exaggerated one but, your sure to have some stable life style where lack could be out of the picture.

The only issue faced is always security and that is everything. Its the only way you really get to enjoy at length your earnings. You've got to be at peace with yourself and that peace is something that ist very reassuring and should you hire security, it could be at a huge cost. Hence, in looking out for best places to stay and live some stable life, also consider security. Merge security and cost of living together and your good to travel.

For sure my way of framing my question might not have been very artful; however, it seems that the reality of any of these kinds of personal assessments about "what to do" and "will I feel safe" in one area of the world versus another area of the world happens to have some factors regarding how much will I stand out as a sore thumb or not. 

I don't really consider any of these kinds of conversations to be very productive if we are just proclaiming that there are various injustices in the world.. which inevitably is true.. but maybe attempting to figure out some of the factors of safety that are likely to change at various points in time and surely boots on the ground can sometimes give some senses about feelings of being safe and also incidents that might occur from time to time. .  There are likely some areas of the world in which rule of law and even disruption is greater than other areas, and I would consider that non-warring areas should be better than areas in which civil conflict is taking place.  Some places also may not have enough tourism in order to have created some tolerance for tourists.. whether they have a different skin color or not (whether the tourists are going to excessively stand out or not). 

Some responses that I see in this thread mention these kinds of safety consideration factors, and some do not... and surely sometimes what is happening on the ground in any particular location may well be different than the media representations that exist, too (or what we might easily be able to find through internet sources.. if we were to attempt to do that kind of leg work researching about any specific location).. Even though in this thread we might be able to either get some kind of introduction to some place in the world that we had not considered or we might be able to get some kinds of short cut research from a certain kind of forum member perspective about some places that s/he has visited or lived,  I do not even expect members who participate in these kinds of threads to have to be unbiased, but surely some members are going to be better at presenting ideas and factual information in more unbiased ways as compared with other members, too.


I don't really disagree with your various points or your suggestion about some likely better courses of action - especially in regards to building up some kind of an investment nestegg, but still you do seem to be fighting with the hypothetical way too much - and maybe just fighting for the mere sake of fighting, no?

Remember the hypothetical also involved 5 guys making $300 per week each.. so maybe there are some unrealistic aspects of the hypothetical, too.. but you just seem to go out there and just totally go into your own only quasi-related talking points.   :D :D :D

Although I haven't participated in any signature campaigns, I discovered that the average pay for current signature campaigns, with the exception of Chipmixer and other larger paid campaigns, ranges between $40 and $100. In my country, Nigeria, the cost of living varies depending on where you live. In my own neighborhood, one can survive on a $100 weekly income and even support one or two people, depending on the situation, because the cost of living is low. However, in some areas, the pay will be adequate for your personal needs due to how expensive things are in that particular location.
However, if you earn up to $300 per week, it is confirmed that you can live a king's life, support others, and save some money.

I don't know the specific meaning of making peace with yourself but in my context, making peace with yourself can be interpreted to accept all things or actions that have happened to us and accept whatever is given (for example in this case it may be financial). This may be possible for some people but for most people this kind of thing is quite difficult to happen because ambition is always above anything.

As for the issue of security and comfort in living a good life, I quite agree with what you said, there is nothing wrong with using security services as long as it makes you feel comfortable, because this is for yourself, why should you be a stingy person.

I reached my friend in Indonesia,he explained that in Indonesia, the humidity ranges between 70℅ to 90%. This means that the place is hot, especially during the heat wave. He said the heat wave doesn't occur every time but if it starts you going to be indoors because the place is fucking hot, am going to find out about them cost of living, accommodation, ways of getting citizenship and good job then update you but i  doubt if you going to be comfortable there .

I'm Indonesian. I think a lot of foreign people misunderstand the temperature here. If someone says that the temperature in Indonesia is hot. so I think that person has only been to one area called Jakarta. Because Indonesia is a country with a TROPICAL climate. So the temperature in each city here can be different. But as far as I explore most of the air here is comfortable. except UIIndeed that in Jakarta the air is hot due to a big city with a dense population and a lack of green plants and many tall buildings.
because JAKARTA is the center of the capital city of Indonesia. So naturally there is like New York in America.

Indonesia only has two seasons, namely the rainy season (cold) and the dry season (hot). So the air temperature here can be said to be very comfortable because it is not too hot and not too cold because it is tropical. except in Jakarta. and cities that are close to the sea or the coast do always have a slightly humid and hot temperature.

I don't even recommend you to visit Jakarta. because the price there is a little expensive too because it is the center of the capital city. although indeed there are also many tourist spots. but the price is quite higher than other areas. And one thing that makes me lazy to go to Jakarta is the traffic jams on the streets because there are too many vehicles. but still, as expensive as the price in Jakarta, it will still feel cheap and indeed cheaper than in other countries such as Singapore, Japan and America.
However, traffic jams are the only problem there.

However, behind the traffic jams and hot temperatures, it is because it is close to the sea and the beach and is densely populated. Jakarta also has its own charm in terms of tourism. because if I count there are about 77 place and 15 of 77 is populer tourist spots in Jakarta which are even visited by many tourists. I won't mention it because it's too much.
I will only show a few places of tourism in Jakarta which is the capital city of Indonesia.

---

So even if you live in Jakarta, you can still earn enough from a signature campaign, for example $50/week, to live comfortably. but like not to be like a king. because Jakarta is a bit more expensive than other cities in Indonesia.

Before giving a very short answer to the question you asked, so on this occasion I will give a little example for the question you asked where I, who earn as much as $70 per week through the signature campaign that I am currently participating in, can still make money. a small family that I have now in the country of Indonesia. And the answer to your question is "There is" in Indonesia.

The $70 per week I get from the signature campaign that I now participate in is around Rp. 1,036,000 if it is cashed into Indonesian currency and that is quite enough for someone who is married and has a small family by spending Rp. 145,000 per day or about 10$ per day because the staple food and drink where I live today is still so affordable and not so expensive that it's still very possible for me to still live on the income from the signature campaign.

And for those who also live in Indonesia, but are still not married, I think the cost of living is still much smaller than for married people so the amount of income he gets from the signature campaign will be much more than enough and even part of it can be made for savings life for himself. Especially if you refer to the example you gave with $1500/week, that is already very extraordinary for those who live in Indonesia.

Assuming you could join a campaign which would provide you an steady return of 200$ per week in Bitcoin, you could have a fairly calm life in Venezuela, not many luxuries. But I am afraid, there are better places you should make this hypothetical interprise a reality, because we have some problems:

- Our internet is bad and slow.It is good enough to watch videos on Youtube, but you would spend days or even weeks dowloading last gen games or 8k content.

- We are still quite politically unstable and our civil right are at stake.

- Etc, etc, etc.

On the bright side, if you are in the position to make a initial investement to buy real state, it would be great. Properties here are very cheap because people have migrated to other countries. Houses and appartments here are paid in full cash (USD), no credit or mortgage.
We have very good food and access to international meals you may miss: like burgers, pizza, snickers, any kind of imported stuff.

You can find some references of the prices for houses here: https://listado.mercadolibre.com.ve/casas-venta/

I personally like this one:


But again, Venezuela should not be the first option but one of the lasts ones, since I am afraid the advantages are still fewer than disadvantages.

However, if you want more information about this lovely of mine, let me know so I want tell you about citizenship, etc...

The question living as a king with signatural campaign is purely dependent on the economic situation of the place been put into consideration. My case study is a carrier starting lecturer of a college here in Nigeria where he/she earns ₦120k Nigerian Naira every month which currently amounts to $200. So imagine been on a weekly $100 sign campaign. That will make the person feel almost like a king considering the fact that the sign campaign is less stressful. But will this person cope on this income is now entirely placed on the responsibilities on his shoulders and the economic status of his residential area or community.

So yeah from my place currently, the economic situation here and the current dollar to Naira conversion here and how hard it is to get a decent job, one will leave like a king with a $100 weekly signature campaign

When I discovered that  British  (https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-61782866) government is giving a state benefit of £35 per month to each refugee it is sending to Rwanda, I immediately picked interest in the country. Recently the British government is moving illegal immigrants that crossed into its territory through the English Channel to Rwanda. I was interested because if after an in-depth analysis the British conceived that 35 pounds plus accommodation would be enough to sustain each immigrant, then I will live like king with my campaign fund of $300.

Rwanda is a landlocked country with an estimated population of 13 million mostly young people and an average temperature of about 12 and 27 °C (not too hot in the day and cool at night). The country is one of the safest and cleanest in Africa and has a stable democratic system (but President Paul Kagame have been accused of silencing oppositions). Rwanda has fast internet services and has a high number of ex-pat community and tourists. Although the Central Bank of Rwanda discourages its citizens from engaging in crypto transactions but it is not illegal. Rwanda (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda) has three national parks that has 200 species of tree, one-third of the worldwide mountain gorilla population,  670 bird species , etc.

According to World Bank  (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/NY.GDP.PCAP.CD?locations=RW) the living wage is approximately 229.301 USD/Month, while the average income of high skilled employees (mostly expatriate) is 563.724 USD/Month. With less than $234 a month one can life a modest lifestyle which include living in cheap houses and eating local delicacies. The cheapest (https://www.quora.com/How-much-does-living-in-kigali-Rwanda-cost-Could-500-U-S-a-month-be-enough) way to life in Rwanda is to consume local products and avoiding the relatively expensive western product. This might be the major challenge because most local delicacies might not please me. Hence with a campaign income of $300 monthly one can live a modest life in Rwanda.

Eh? ???

That's probably only possible if you go to some really tiny place like Guatemala or the Cayman Islands, not anywhere else.

Besides, I suppose that the entire ChipMixer and Foxpup (if you're willing to go that far) subsidies would be swallowed by rent, insurance, gas & utility bills in a single month, including if you live in a 3rd world country. [I mean, let's assume that you are paid +0.01BTC per week by Foxpup - that doesn't amount to more than $1200 on an average day.]


Impossible, unless you a) give up your current citizenship and apply for another one, or b) you invest your way to a passport like Malta [both of these completely out of the range of signature campaigns in general].

Nope, it's possible in many countries. You can confirm it by looking at salaries there. For instance the minimum wage in India is $5 so you earn about $150 a month in a low paid job. 10 times more should cover all expenses for you and allow for some luxury. Also, with a forum job you have a lot of free time for pleasures. You can go sightseeing every day and once you get bored with what the country can offer, you can move somewhere else.

About half of the EU has minimum wages of $800 or less, so by getting $1,5k you can have a decent life there because a forum job doesn't require any additional expenses. You don't need a suit, you don't need to go to work every day, you don't have to pay for food in the city but can cook at home, which is way cheaper.
A typical employee who gets $1k a month has to spend at least $200 for clothes, transportation and food eaten at work and loses an hour every day just to get to work.

$1500 is a lot of money if spent in 7 days(5 people)
if you are looking for including lodging, there will be many who offer discounts. (excluding flight transportation costs to come)
Its time to enjoy life.
The king is the position I want, even if only for a moment to unwind.
I am a user of the many who come from Indonesia.

Come on you can visit

That's just a little part of the beauty of heaven that God sent down in Indonesia.

It's no stranger that many investors or traders or tourists enjoy their lives by returning here often. So, do as much refreshment as you can because recreational needs will also restore both our mental minds in daily activities.
Forums can share some good destinations in various countries without us having to come directly. We can prepare destinations.
To become a citizen in my opinion there is the same term for a passport and different services (the cost of making in some countries depends on the currency)

If I spend more time in the surrounding natural scenery while breathing fresh air.
That makes my mood back again to discuss in the forum again.

In some countries, there are indeed different rates, in my opinion, it will be bought with the beauty that can be obtained.
Enjoy a carefree life. low cost.affordable and this is the king according to each of you.

I would like to introduce about my self and my journey with signature campaign reward what for I spent each week, first I am come from Indonesia and right now active on BK8 signature campaign with payment $65 each week. Converted to my local money become Rp 963.135,00 and I will spent how enough with  my reward from signature campaign.

Here specific about how spent my reward from signature and every day almost spent above $10 except on holiday because I get travelling with my family, begin on the early morning buy traditional food called with "soto" from my country with $0.5 and cup of ice tea about $0.15
https://i.imgur.com/7Q1PuFF.jpg

Then I can spent my reward signature to buy chicken noodle and my country have cheapest price but depending on place do you buy, usually I bought chicken noodle on general place have lower values under $0.5 but have different values when you spent it on exclusive place like restaurant.
https://i.imgur.com/rJlSrVx.jpg

You have enough money if get signature reward above $65 live in my country and enjoy with awesome view from sea and mount, if you wanna try have planning holiday to my country Indonesia don't be shy contact me and I will help you  ;D ;D

I find it more interesting than spending on gambling. This is hard earned money - should not be wasted on gambling. Great decision though!
Hope your business is going great. Hope you get your desired goals real soon. Ameen.

Looking at all you have said here and using my home country as a case study. $1,500 times four equals $6000 ( a month) and going by it when converted to my  local currency we will arrived at about #3,600.000.that runs into millions we are talking about here, that even those we describe as rich people here in my home country don't even earn half of such amount in their 5months salary put together.

So most definitely, even ten persons in a family will definitely  live like a king in any West African countries earning such amount $6000 per month.

Hi, the statistic is ready :) Signature campaign the lowest and highest payment BTC and USD in 2013-2022  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5403191.new#new)

If the person have around 1000 - 2000 dollars than there so many countries where they can live like a king, Indonesia is definitely one of the countries - it is beautiful and standard of life are real good there. If I ever get a chance - I will move to Indonesia.

I don't know how true this is so don't hate me if I am wrong. I watched a video of a guy who wanted to escape the everyday stress of modern societies, so he packed his bags and went to Nepal. The guy claimed to have stayed in a hotel-like accommodation with good and healthy food and all that cost him $5 a day. That leaves plenty of money for good wine, Cuban cigars, and other types of pleasures.

If it's that cheap, one might even consider spending a few months on holiday in Nepal to save some money you would otherwise spend in large metropolitan areas.

Well, according to Numbeo[1], the average monthly net salary in Nepal is 185.45 € which is quite low comparing to what some campaigns pay weekly (it depends on your activity) - assuming that one attains maximum pay in each week for the Chipmixer campaign we are once again talking about $1,500 (1 430 €) per month. Considering that a rent for 1 person is around 113 € in the City center, you're left with a lot of liquidity ( ~ 1 320 €) to spend on whatever you enjoy the most and that gives you the most satisfaction (let it be food, adventures, traveling, etc).

Regarding the hotel prices @Pmalek I doubt that for $5 is actually a feasible option (would you mind sharing the video? What city was he/she based in?). A quick Booking.com search provided me some really cheap options starting at around 8€ but from the looks of the pictures, we are talking about very basic and very poor conditions (multiple people in the same room) and most prices doesn't even include food in them. Better options start to appear in the ~250-300 € range (per night) but still no food included...

[1]https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Nepal&displayCurrency=EUR (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Nepal&displayCurrency=EUR)

Sorry, there is no way I could find that now. I don't even know where I would start looking. I saw it months ago. The video never showed the rooms. Everything is up in the mountains, so it's far from luxury of course. It looked like a temple that was repurposed to be a hotel or perhaps a hostel with multiple people inside the rooms. But since The Pharmacist was talking about multiple people working on bounties/signature campaigns, even that is acceptable for a group of friends.
I remember thinking the same as you. How is it possible that it's that cheap?!  

Right, but remember that the $1500/week is for 5 individuals who aren't a family and presumably wouldn't be pooling their money together for anything aside from house expenses.  But your point about the cost of living in Indonesia is well-taken, and I appreciate you relaying your experience with what sounds like living off the proceeds of a sig campaign.  I know there have to be quite a few members here who do just that, but I'll be damned if I know who they are.

Somehow I doubt that--but then again I know absolutely nothing about Nepal.  I'd like to, though.  Do we have anybody here who either lives there or who's been there who could attest to what it's like?  And man, I wouldn't even be able to locate Nepal on a map without Googling it first (lol).

The currency exchange rates in the world are very different from one country to another, for those who live in developed countries the income from the Singcamp campaign may not be sufficient for daily life, but for us who live in developing countries (Indonesia) of course only income from singcamp is clearly sufficient, now let's say everyone who has a hero or legend account gets paid 70$/week or 280$/month then at the exchange rate with rupiah currency around 4.1 million rupiah, so in other words almost equivalent to salary government employees in Indonesia.

Depending on each country and region what are your destination coming, if you try visit to my country consists of several islands and each island have different cost life depending what your destination coming. I will describe little about my country and spent $1,500 for five your family all enough. When you arrived on my country Indonesian you need to spend or rent car with $200 until $300 each month and you can choose depending how luxury car do you want, then about food and drink in my country still cheapest price and buy Padang rice about $1 until $2 depending what menu you choose and here picture example. https://i.imgur.com/i9dVbt0.jpg

Don't worry I will show how beautiful view in my country and you have many destination place for visiting adn spent $1,500 for five family is more enough in my country, if you want to enjoy with ocean view my country have many island with beautiful beach, but if you want get adventure on mountain you will see many excited place enjoy and support with how still green with my country. Several example about ocean and mountain view in my country, https://i.imgur.com/9Bfb7QY.jpg, https://i.imgur.com/JcBbndw.jpg

The assumption is that $1500/week is more than enough to pay for 5 people in a house including house rent and others, maybe I have income like that I can invite 5 people every weekend to go on vacation to the beach or other places in my area because of the income $1500/week is enough, especially in Indonesia, which is very cheap in spending.

I wish I had that kind of income. LOL  ;D ;D
I will quit my job and start a business in real world trading.
Can be a little investment
Other rental costs are met.
All basic needs must certain met.

Of course, from income it doesn't have to be in waste but starting a business will be better, because $1500 is per week, how about a month's income?

I suppose that we're talking per month not week as it's mentioned by the previous poster too. If yes, I'd be perfectly happy with $1.500/month and would live comfortably in Greece without even needing to work a day, it's at least enough for an individual or a couple. If I were to be placed on unemployment benefits, along with the signature earnings I'm receiving, I'd probably be able to live enough to survive but not have any purchasing power. I'm currently working two jobs + the signature campaign, and that money altogether is less than Chipmixer's maximum payment.

You are correct, but I disagree that the legendary signature campaign weekly payment is insufficient for someone in developed countries. Remember that we all live different lives; if rent expenses are deducted, many people in many developing countries can live a simple life on $100 per day. Some countries actually have a very low cost of living.
In my country, Nigeria, a legendary pay of $100 in some signature campaigns, which is $400 per month when converted to our local currency, is more than the salary of many government employees. In almost every location in Nigeria, one can live comfortably with signature campaign pay.

I don't know if it's talking about Nepal but if you look at some of the articles I've read and compare it to the country I live in Indonesia, it's 1.50 times lower than in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta (the area I live in) but this is only for a place to live. although indeed the area and type of hotel adjust but for food that is in fast food restaurants such as McD, Burgerking etc. I think Indonesia is much cheaper because if you look at several sources, the price of food at food places like the ones I mentioned above in Nepal is around 975 NPR or maybe the equivalent of $7.75 different from in my area which is only $3 or $4 on average.

This only happens in some areas because indeed we in Indonesia only have 2 seasons apart from that if you look at the actual climate, Indonesia is in a tropical climate with an average temperature above 18 degrees Celsius and the rainfall is quite large for at least half a year.
But on the other hand it is true that there are some areas that are quite hot here, for example, Tangerang (name of the area) which has an average heat of 36 degrees Celsius, but that only happens in some areas because as far as I know it is humid here, but many areas are even cold. there is also one area, namely Kota Mulia, Papua (name of the area) where the temperature can reach 9 degrees Celsius.

It's true, sometimes when talking about injustice, almost everyone has different thoughts because indeed what is happening now when talking about injustice sometimes it involves the finances that are owned as well even though it's not all like that but on average sometimes justice is just a word that hints at how much money you have.

As for security, I agree with what you said because indeed when we live in an area that is experiencing conflict, it is clear that this will provide a very low level of security and is very vulnerable, in contrast to us living in an area far from conflict there.
As for some information about an area, I also think that in this case it is better if we look at it from another point of view because if I pay attention and read one by one, most of these only reveal the positive side of a region or country but not with things that are negative. others such as what happened and what was the worst possibility when in an area or maybe what was the shortage there.

For $1500/week it is perfectly possible to live five roommates or a non-family of five in my country. Because with a salary of $1500/week it becomes a very large salary when measured in the currency of the country where I live now, so it is clearly very possible to finance the lives of five people in any case and can also be used for a very luxurious life in a country like Indonesia.

I think it exists, because the expenditure of money for each person in life varies greatly. But for me personally an income of $65/week or $260/month is still not enough to survive or thrive so I still have to find other jobs out there to provide for my family. Because in living life, a person also needs other savings to prepare for unexpected things such as illness or such an unwanted accident.

Indonesia is a country that is suitable for you to visit, because in that country it is quite upheld the value of culture, religion and incoming tourists, so it is not uncommon for many tourists to visit here, it will be enough to feel at home for a long time enjoying the natural beauty, culture and special food.

Look at how many artists, soccer players and sportsmen have visited here, with prices that are quite affordable and don't require so much money, but the sensation you get will be very worth the money spent

I want to assume this, for example we earn $80 every week, then a month we will collect $320, in Indonesia we can use that much money to enjoy nature, climb mountains and enjoy Indonesian specialties.

try to fully enjoy Indonesia!!!!!

Lets imagine The Pharmacist chooses Indonesia as a place to live his next 5-10 years. Obviously, he wont be spending his whole time vising sightseen place. One day he will figure out, that he should have a money pillow, in case signature campaign puts on a pause or ends. What job as a foreigner can he get quickly in Indonesia, besides becoming a freelancer? Is it easy for an English speaking person to get a highly paid job (more than "$80 every week")?

Indonesia is a progressing country - people like going there. They have tourism and they have beautiful sites
If someone from the west moves there. and get money from the gov they will be able to happily make there living there.

Everything depends on the the nationality of the Pharmacist. If he is from the a country with a good economy such as Europe and maybe America (Canada and America), then he might not be able to work in Indonesia because it would be better for him to go back to his country. But he was from an underdeveloped country that is suffering from economic challenges, then Indonesia would be a good country to reside. This is because Indonesia has one of the largest economy in Asia and it is not an underdeveloped but an emerging economy. One can find job in the manufacturing, agricultural, mining, automobile industries. Yes language would be a barrier because it might be difficult for an adult to learn new languages. But with diligence and desperation, a foreigner can averagely learn a language in less than one year .       

If I may ask, what is your top priority when there is a country like you want out of all your desires?
Then, will your income /week will remain with the amount of $1,500?
If in one week your income is $1,500, then as I have said, there is a country that can make a life like a boss, namely Indonesia.

To prove it, please try to take a vacation to Indonesia and enjoy everything there, I can be sure that you will be comfortable throughout your vacation.

My country's language is almost the same as Indonesian. although there are slight differences in dialect and some pronunciations. but I think the OP can learn Indonesian easily. because many foreigners live in my country and they learn my country language easily. while the language of my country and the language of Indonesia are almost the same. so I think it will be easy for foreigners to learn Indonesian too. I can also speak a little Indonesian. Very simple and friendly language.

But what I do know is that the Indonesian nation is a nation that upholds manners and customs, they are known to be friendly and kind. even they are happy to welcome foreigners who come to their country. So I think the Indonesians would help the OP if he lived there.

but it should be noted that the wages of work there are very cheap when compared to other countries such as America. but fortunately in that country goods and food are cheap. I often visit Indonesia. because it happens that our country is close. so I know a little about the situation there.

even some schools in the following countries include Indonesian in their curriculum lessons such as.
Japan.
Australia.
Ukraine.
South Korea.
Hawaiian.
The Netherlands.
Germany.

even if only in some schools. but it proves that Indonesian is starting to be considered important by these countries. because perhaps these countries do have close business relations. so that certain schools that are related to the field of business are required to master the Indonesian language because there may be an opportunity to be sent to Indonesia to do business there.

You need to look at both sides of the coin. There is no doubt that Indonesia is a progressive country. But recently, there have been a sharp rise in religious fundamentalism. Terrorist incidents happen every now and then, and the perfect example is what happened in Bali in 2002 (more than 200 people died). Ethnic riots happen very frequently, and thousands have been killed recently in hotspots such as Kalimantan, Maluku and Papua. And even in major cities, there have been clashes in the past (one example is the May 1998 riots, in which thousands of Chinese were killed and hundreds were raped).

Indeed, in the past there have been riots as mentioned by you. but the commotion was not as bad as what was reported in the media. when the media say the number of victims is in the thousands, but in reality it is not like that and only hundreds.

But chaos and unrest will always exist in any country.
So it is necessary to also see things from two sides and from various points of view.

However, I just want to clarify that the riots that you said in 1998 were events that were triggered by the monetary crisis that caused students to take to the streets to hold demonstrations. and caused the resignation of the Indonesian president at that time.
At that time there was also a kind of clash with ethnic Chinese. but it didn't last long and didn't last long. everything can be solved.

and now various ethnic groups live peacefully in Indonesia.

What makes Indonesia unique is that even though we are of different ethnicities and languages, we are still one unit, namely Indonesia.

just information on the number of tribes or ethnicities in Indonesia, there are about 1340 ethnic groups and have the second largest number of regional languages, which are 718 different regional languages.

Each region has many tribes and many regional languages ​​and also has diverse cultures and customs.

but the miraculous thing is that even though there are 718 regional languages ​​in Indonesia, we have 1 language that makes us united and harmonious and we from every tribe and every region understand this 1 language, namely INDONESIAN.

even we are very open with people who come from other countries.

and the fact is that now we are here in Indonesia living side by side in peace with people who are originally from abroad.

they are even free to build a business in Indonesia with permission from the government. Such as China, Thailand, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Arabia, India, Australia, America, Bangladesh, the Netherlands and many outsiders who build businesses here. some even have factories, hotels and restaurants.

So maybe the results of the signature campaign can be used as capital to build a business in Indonesia too hahahaha

In fact, many artists from abroad have moved to Indonesia and started their careers back in Indonesia, such as Haruka, a singer from AKB48, a girl group from Japan, and there is also a boyband artist from South Korea who now has Indonesian citizenship. and he admits that he feels at home in Indonesia. and now he is married and has children in Indonesia.
because even becoming an artist in Indonesia is very easy as long as you have good skills and abilities. because in Indonesia there are many ordinary people who suddenly become artists and become rich hahahaha

In Indonesia, there are six religions, namely Islam, Protestant Christianity, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. and here we respect each other and even here churches and mosques are built side by side. we help each other during our respective religious celebrations.

so don't trust media news too much. because sometimes the media exaggerate the content of the news presented.

but it's true what @Sithara007 said we need to see things from two sides. in terms of good and bad. because as peaceful as a country is, sometimes a little riot will always exist and cannot be avoided.

but for now there is one area that I think is forbidden to visit, namely Papua. other than that area then you are free and can feel safe. Papua is located at the eastern end of Indonesia and the land is separated by a vast sea.

Indeed, looking at the two sides of the situation really matters. The bad side shouldn't be overlooked because it could bring so many disadvantages if not addressed or known beforehand. Considering Indonesia as a place to stay, it could offer a lot of activities and sides of the world. Someone can enjoy both the city life and nature in Indonesia. It's a developing and emerging country which makes it good place to go to if you are from a third world country.

However, a dark side of it exists too. Just like what you've mentioned, there are several incidents that has happened before which should also be a concern of someone thinking to stay in a certain place for a long time. Weighing the pros and cons will leave someone to decide whether it's worth the risk or not. Of course, let's also take into consideration that signature campaigns aren't really permanent. They just exist for a specific period of time.

Hence, someone must have a backup in case it suddenly stops. In this case, if you are a foreigner and not really a migrant, job finding could be hard. Because to think that the actual Indonesian citizens are having a hard time finding employment, what more for a mere stranger travelling in a country.

The world is sliding towards another recession, which may last for a longer duration compared to the one we had in 2008-09. The difference this time is that the economic meltdown is very much avoidable. If the US/EU administrations work towards lowering prices of oil and gas, there is still a chance that the impending economic crisis can be avoided. That said, do you guys think that moving to a different country is going to be easier, if the economic situation is going to get really bad? And third world countries get impacted much more, when compared to the developing nations.

This thread has gain a lot of response since the last time i commented, lots of suggestions of different countries and their reach culture and heritage.
the thread has attracted lots of interesting feedback that i found it interesting place to learn more about other countries standard of living.
what is even more interesting is knowing how earnings from signature campaign is supporting many members sustenance, (myself included)
Although the pharmacist said this is only a fantasy of his but with so many suggestions... assuming this is something he wants to consider, i would like to know if out of all the different countries suggested, which would he be interested in trying out or that fits to his requirement.

You are right, the information seen in this thread has helped me to understand more usefulness of Bitcointalk, other countries standards of living is among though one still need to find out more things about one Self before you consider taking any step or move. The testimony of those in the campaign is another good thing that Bitcoin has given to the world because it has solved some financial crises in the life of so many people through the weekly earnings. I believe the pharmacist will update us if he decides to make his fantasy a reality.

OP's $1,500/week ($6,400 monthly) for 5 people may not be enough to live like kings but more than enough to live comfortably in beautiful places in Southeast Asia like Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand. There's a lot of regular cheap flights in the region too for more cross country vacations.

In the Philippines where I came from, you can live in top tourist destination islands like Cebu, Aklan, Bohol and Palawan where cities and international airports are both existing. Most houses here only have 3 to 4 rooms and good ones cost $400 to $600 so $700-$800 should be a very good house with 5 rooms. $400 should be more than enough for a thousand mbps of fibr internet speed, 5 air conditioned rooms, water and others appliances.

$6,400 monthly budget
    800 house
    400 electric/water bills
  1,000 food
$4,200 remaining balance

A kilo of good meat/fish here is like $8. Fruits, vegetables and spices are even cheaper. A total of $4,200 or $840 per person left, that's still a lot of money to spend. In these islands, you can rent motorcycles for a day for only $10. Gasoline may reach $2 per liter here.

Citizenship is almost impossible to achieve for a pure blooded foreigner (unless married to a Philippine citizen) but you can just easily renew your visa. I think it still exists, there are some special privileges on some nationalities like the Americans.     



I learned a lot from your post. Which part in Indonesia are you from? Is Bali or Jakarta the best places to go? Years ago I read about executions handed by Islamic courts. I really thought the whole of Indonesia is now under Sharia Law. I did a little search in the internet and it says that it is only Aceh under Sharia Law. But is this correct or there are still more sectarian places? I already visited Indonesia before. But I just went there to roam around Batam City area, ate my lunch and had snacks in your malls. And then I went back to Singapore just before night time. I had a good time there and food is good.   





 

I'm not from Bali or Jakarta. but i come from java province. close to jakarta.
the fact is that more people from abroad visit Jakarta and Bali for holidays. indeed Bali has a good place and is famous for good service. even in 2014 some hotels and cafes accept bitcoin payments. it lasted until 2018. because in 2018 the government here banned accepting payments directly for bitcoins. unless you can exchange it first into rupiah at a legal exchange in Indonesia such as indodax.

but there is something you need to know that as an Indonesian myself, I am very confused about which one to recommend a superior and good tourism place. because all tourism places for holidays throughout Indonesia have their respective advantages. there are even horror themed ones like hell garden.

but just information. That tourism vacation spots in Jakarta and Bali are quite expensive. compared to other areas.

so my recommendation if you want the cheapest vacation spot in Indonesia then choose other than Jakarta and Bali. because apart from Jakarta and Bali, everything is almost the same, namely cheap.
even many are free such as natural tourism places of mountains and beaches.
but I myself prefer beach-themed vacation spots. and one of these beaches that I visit the most is Ujung Genteng Beach. besides being free, the waves are very calm so I can swim freely. even small fish are easy to catch here.

ah regarding sharia law you mean which is in a special area, namely Aceh which is located at the west end (can be seen on the map). indeed that one area uses sharia law. But not totality. this means that the Aceh region is still obedient to the rules of the Indonesian government which uses democracy. So for areas other than Aceh, all of them adhere to democracy. we elect a president like in america. Likewise, Aceh continues to elect a president. only the regional regulations are different for aceh. maybe there is someone from aceh here so maybe they can explain more. what you see may be news that is in the aceh area. Aceh itself is a special area that has a long history and has even existed since the days of the Turkish caliphate as an Islamic kingdom (the heyday of Islam) and had important services for Indonesia, so the area was given special privileges. and the enactment of Islamic sharia law in Aceh, which was around 2000. Because at that time Aceh had wanted to separate itself from Indonesia because it wanted to use Islamic Sharia law. To maintain and avoid division, Indonesia allowed Islamic Sharia law in the Aceh region. so it's only in aceh that Islamic sharia law is enforced. and Aceh is only 1 of 34 provinces in Indonesia.

^^^ From what I heard, Aceh is more like an exception. I am from India, and some of my friends have visited Indonesia (not just Bali, but Java island as well). They told me that the Islam which is being followed in Java is a very moderate variety (unlike the one in India). Bali is around 80% Hindu and remains the only area in the world where you will find Hindus of non-South Asian origin. Obviously in Aceh, the religion may be similar to the one in Malaysia and more conservative. Indian nationals don't need a visa to visit Indonesia, for tourist purposes. That said, I am not sure about staying in Indonesia for long term and the requirements in order to gain permanent residency.

Indonisia is a beautiful place. I know a german family moved to Indonesian for good and they like hot weather and beaches and nature.
Since they are germans and they get their gov support - there will be surly no problem for them to be adjusted there.

Indonesia is rich with many kinds of culture, which are spread throughout, including having 718 languages recorded here (https://petabahasa.kemdikbud.go.id/databahasa.php), as you mentioned earlier, but the prima donnas are Bali and the island of Java, which are famous for their beautiful destinations, so many tourists go on vacation there. Bali has the most Hindu adherents there, around 86.91% (according to Wikipedia (https://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bali#:~:text=Data%20Kementerian%20Agama%20mencatat%20bahwa,kurang%20dari%200%2C01%25).)) and Aceh is the area with Muslim adherents there with almost all of them 98.4%, but I have never been to the area even though it is still in Indonesian territory.
I just read the news that there are about 43 countries that are visa-free to visit Indonesia, including several other European countries,

^^^ So I guess if we are looking for a retirement spot in Asia, the first choice would be between Thailand and Indonesia? I have seen a lot of people preferring Malaysia as a retirement destination (partly due to the fact that almost everyone speaks English there). Philippines is another destination that I have heard about. From my understanding, the cost of living is similar in all these four countries. Now the deciding factor would be healthcare, crime rate, visa rules, property rights for expats and tax liability.

If I have to decide - I would go to Indanisa - because that is beautiful place and there is so much nature to be explored.
Also I like the homes and the interior of the Indonesian people. Indonesia has always been in my bucket list. I will sure be going there soon.

If you have thoughts of moving to Indonesia then I advise you to decide on a suitable area for you to live in because not all areas in Indonesia are "friendly" for westerners.

I live in Bukit Tinggi, West Sumatra and the cost of living here is very cheap, I personally spend around $120/month on house rent and food, so for those who are lucky to get a place on the BTC signature campaign, for a weekly fee, it is enough to live comfortably here.

for a place of recreation (https://wisatasumatera.com/tempat-wisata-sumatera-barat-terbaru/) and also a variety of delicious food, in West Sumatra, there are quite a lot. If you are bored, then North Sumatra, South Sumatra and Aceh are quite close from here ;D

everyone wants to live in a comfortable place with family, hopefully, we can find comfort wherever we all are.

^^^^ Just $120 per month? That is unbelievably cheap. Most of us receive almost that much every week from our signature campaigns. And here in India, it is impossible to have a comfortable life with that much money, even in the most remote parts. $120 roughly equals to ₹9,400 and you will struggle to cover rent and utility bills with this amount. Rent alone may take at least ₹3,000 per month if you want to live in a small house with bathroom and kitchen. Things have become costly here over the past couple of years, including medical care, electricity, food items and clothing.

Income $1500/week, in my country the income is sufficient, but can't live in luxury, maybe for one person yes, but for a family of 4-5 people it's enough, can't be like a king.

$1500/week, divided/day spending $50/day divided by 4-5 people/$10/day to spend, the comparison of fiat currency in my country for $10 only gets 4 packs of cigarettes, that doesn't include food and drink, my consideration is $1500/week, for 1 person, maybe can live in luxury, not with a family of 4-5 people.

This is my biggest challenge because most of the cheap areas would not be friendly to foreigners. Foreigners might not suffer racism when they are living in big cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya because most inhabitants are educated and experienced. But these cities are very expensive to leave in than other semi-urban cities that might not gladly receive foreigners. Another consequences of living in semi-urban areas is insecurity.


$120 for house rent and food would be a little bit high for me but other higher members would be able to afford it. Could you please inform me of a means of staying in Jakarta with a monthly campaign signature of $160. Is there any cheap accommodation such as shared rooms or hostels where the rent is cheaper. With my signature campaign funds I don't expect to eat in good restaurants but I have to survive in cheap indigenous dishes in local restaurants. Please could you please furnish me with cheap local food that I can afford with my little funds.  

Wait a minute....what are you saying you dug up on me?  It kinda sounds like you got most of the information correct except for the sunshine thing, and even that isn't completely wrong.  I'm not exactly frightened by your post, but my paranoia is starting to flare up.  Lol.

All of those pics are beautiful, by the way.  I saw a tortoise last year with a metal object that some idiot crazy glued to its shell, and since the torty was still growing, the metal thing got integrated into the shell and can't be removed.  But damn, the torty in your pic looks so much bigger than the one I saw.  They're amazing creatures with very interesting body language and personalities.

Lol..... I giggled at your response Mr TP. ( As read from a book ) Sunrays has energies that nourishes the human body, Sunlight is one of the best natural healing medicine's. So, it's a good one having a touch of sunshine 🌞 when you can. I agree with you on torty having great personalities, also feeding on green plants has been a big reason to them prolonged stay on earth. The largest Animal ( Elephant ) the Tallest Animal ( Giraffe 🦒 )  The Strongest ( Gorilla ) and lastly torty been thr Oldest Walking Animal on Earth all feed's and her fueled by Green plants.
Still interested in the price of them landed property down that ends ? I don't mind digging down. Some pictures from Zimbabwe's National tourist centers below;https://twitter.com/HandeiZimbabwe/status/1505604032110415874?t=ieLYQkUvQAlyG4Ha2tKTYA&s=19

I think if you earn honestly, you could survive on small amounts of money in the right society where people live humble life. It doesn't matter which country you live in.
It important to earn honestly otherwise whatever amount that come from dishonesty(evil work or works not deserving your pay) will be wasted... It's cursed money. That's how our CREATOR designed things. You may be spared if you are doing it in ignorance, with good intentions (for example to help others or to help the needy).

I notice how Philippinos help themselves like you wrote. It actually makes me happy. That is where I would want my money to go to especially if they are using it for good things or using it the right way.

Have you ever heard of the beauty of Sabang Island, which is located in one of the provinces of Indonesia.?
If you like the atmosphere of the beach and underwater scenery, then Sabang is the most recommended tourist destination. Because it is guaranteed that when you get there the eyes of visitors will be fascinated by the beauty that Sabang provides.
Sabang itself is famous as the zero kilometer point of Indonesia, besides that Sabang also offers a number of charming beaches ranging from white sand to black. Sabang also has many islands, including Weh Island, Klah Island, Rubiah Island, Seulako Island and also Rondo Island.








$1500 is a lot of money there, the dollar exchange rate to local currency is $1 = ±14000 rupiah, if you bring $1500 = 21 million rupiah. That kind of money can guarantee for five people to enjoy a very luxurious life for one month. Because the cost of living in Sabang is very cheap, different from the expensive city of Jakarta.

The reason I recommend Sabang is because this island is very safe, usually tourist attractions are very prone to pickpockets so that the security officers often remind tourists to be careful with their wallets or other valuables. However, in Sabang such things are rarely founding, because this city is very safe from the crime rate of theft. So that the money or valuables of tourists will remain safe in this city. is not that very interesting...

To get citizenship in Indonesia is very easy, Foreigners can apply for a minimum of having to stay in the territory of Indonesia for five consecutive years or 10 non-consecutive years.

Note: if anyone wants to visit Sabang, please contact me. Even though I am not a tour guide, I will be happy to accompany anyone (from this forum) to go around while enjoying the beauty that is stored in the City of Sabang.

This is a very informative thread - people are sharing so many amazing photos.
The most attractive of all is definitely Indonesia. I feel like flying there real soon. In Fact is it on  my bucket list too. KUDO to all the indonesian for making people want to go to indonesia.

Incredibly beautiful photos that you upload here. I was almost fascinated to see the natural beauty of various countries and maybe quite foreign to my ears. didn't think $1500 was cheap enough to live in luxury in various countries like the ones you posted here. maybe from what I see here it sinks into my heart to save a little income that I get from the campaign to be able to visit some beautiful islands in various countries. Maybe only time will tell when I can visit the island and rejoice with you.

Couldn't agree more! Beautiful Pictures, Beautiful People, Beautiful Culture's with them great meals. Digging down Zimbabwe is now something I just do for fun. My love for Zimbabwe, is similar to the love Manchester United fans has for Cristiano Ronaldo, Although, Sweden still remains my dream Country. Lol  They're great farmers, Horticulture will be considered if I sure move down that ends! ( Zimb )

Astonishing views when you watch and take a good look at what nature gives you! The Waterfall between Zambia and Zimbabwe is another ( Breathe - taking ). As I'll also love to visit that ends whenever I have the chance too.  The Lion and Cheetah Park will always be a top priority also a trip inner them cave's and hiking the mountains of Zimbabwe. All of these can be achievable with two - three people.

Just like they say " What you don't know, is way bigger than you " Great feedbacks from various ( User's ) countries, you just have to sit back and choose wisely and closely.

Some beautiful pictures have got, but having issues Uploading em, sucks you know.

Just a warning for you guys.. Personally I don't believe that salary of $150-$200 per month is sustainable in the long term. You may be able to survive in most remote parts of the world, but the situation can quickly change if you face any emergency (for example medical conditions or robbery). I have been in to signature campaigns since 2014. It has been 8 long years and I am managing my full time job, as well as the sig campaign simultaneously. I don't want to talk about earnings from the sig campaign, but it is much more than $120 per month. But still, I never thought of resigning from my full time job and concentrating fully on sig campaigns.

different regions, have different levels of spending, I hope that all of us can get an income that exceeds your monthly expenses ;D

---

if you have a target of living on the island of Java then choose Yogyakarta because the cost of living there is quite cheap, besides that the residents there are also quite friendly to foreigners.

I also have a friend who lives in Jakarta but his living expenses (food, electricity, and rent) are around $140-$150. rented with 1 small room and bathroom inside is still quite affordable for those who are single but for those who already have a family, I think $150/month will not be enough.

As for the cost of living in a family in a big city like Jakarta and its surroundings, it will not be for the size of $150/month.
But if you refer to the discussion on the topic where $1500 for five friends in one house, I think it's quite enough because one person has to carry $300 in his pocket.
However, living or vacationing for a month in Jakarta or its surroundings will also not be enough for one month because $300 per person can only last for a week for a vacation or the like even though the five of them are still single.

Here is a small example;
1 person = $300 x 5 people = $1500, if converted to Indonesian currency (Rupiah) = approximately IDR.4,455,000 and that is enough for a week of living in Jakarta in terms of vacation and here are two places that can be recommended:

https://i.imgur.com/0YkMQ2H.jpg
You can stay at Vio Veteran Bandung or Grha Ciumbuleuit Guest House.
https://www.travelio.com/blog/tips/dari-jakarta-dengan-uang-rp500-ribu-bisa-liburan-ke-mana/

https://i.imgur.com/dOvwjnv.jpg
By paying a ticket of IDR 25,000, you can breathe fresh air around the beach.
The best time to visit is at sunset in the afternoon. Even so, this beach is not recommended for playing water or swimming.

This topic is not about member's resigning from their full time job in real life and concentrating on signature campaigns and their earnings, no! This topic in summary is just about the possibility of living comfortably in any part of the world with what you earn from signature campaigns in the forum, the op also did start the thread by saying it is 'one of his fantasies' to find out how much one needs to earn from sig campaigns to live well around the world. The Pharmacist knows better than to advise members to resign from their jobs and focus on sig campaigns!

On that, the thread has been economically educative, many members have enlightened us on what the cost and standard of living is like in their countries, and how much you need to earn, not just from sig campaigns, but from your full time job, to be able to live comfortably. Probably if any user wants to take a vacation abroad, they will visit this topic!

That is correct these signature campaigns are full time jobs. Earlier it was difficult for me to keep the pace.
But now I have taken the task happily - its is great learning opportunity alongside you are paid well.

I do not know if you failed to read correctly what i posted, i never said signature campaigns are full time jobs, and you are wrong because sig campaigns can't be taken as full time jobs, a sig campaign can end anytime, how can a member fail to have a real life job and depend on sig campaigns, that is a catastrophic decision to make. Sig campaign earnings should be passive income you get for conversing constructively in bitcointalk. And by the way, are you aware that the sig you are wearing and advertising is one of a scam casino website?

That's right, it would not be good if you depend on your life only by relying on signature campaigns, even though in this case there are some signature campaigns which are actually quite valuable and profitable but still this is only a sideline and we still have to have a main job.
And when I read that almost some people here use this only for the side, especially because indeed we also can't fully live here and obviously there is something that must be used in the real world.
Plus, when talking about signature campaigns, it's clear that there are rules that must be followed and levels that must be passed, such as when saying the core from the beginning which says Signature Chipmixer, the rules are quite strict and the levels start from SR so not everyone can enter, moreover the rules are also quite strict. so that it will be difficult for someone who is mediocre to depend only on signature campaigns.

Well no one is saying that you have to resign from your full term job for you to be able to earn as much as $300 per week. We all know that this weekly pay is just an addition pay to our normal full term job. Have you ever calculate how much you are earning in a weekly basis and calculate it in one month to compare with your monthly pay for your full term job? Calculate it dude and see if it rally with your full term job is much higher.

Signature campaign is like a bonus to our daily jobs, that is for some of us that have other sources where we earn money like having a full term job, career or dream job which we are currently doing. Signature campaign can mean a lot to those that are unemployed maybe because of one thing or the other. If you have a full term job that is giving you a substantial pay then, that is fine but the main purpose of this thread is to identify a place where we could live like a king through signature campaign.

We know that their are different signature campaigns in this forum with different pay compared to the rest. Well the point is not about our individual signature campaigns but pointing at a situation where a family of five persons could live more comfortably receiving $300 person which is a total sum of $1500 per week. The Pharmacy thinks his current region would not be that enjoyable to live like a king or more comfortably with a sum of $1500 for a family of 5.

If you know of a place or region where one could like the fullest life with such amount, I think it will be amazing if you could drop it here. This thread is becoming more interesting looking at alternative places we could live much like a king without stress.

It seems to me that this thread does spark an ability to talk about quite a variety of topics, and surely we do not really seem to be completely limited to the scenario that The Pharmacist set forth and his preferences, even though it does seem good to attempt to apply some of his framework or at least acknowledge how some of us might be diverging from what he had bee suggesting to be goals. 

It does also seem to me that when guys are getting into talking about what it might be like to vacation in an area, there should be some attempts to recognize the various ways that vacationing differ from attempts to stay somewhere longer term 3-6 months or even for longer periods.  Many countries do not really allow easy access for period even exceeding a few months outside of being classified as a tourist or merely being able to continue to extend the tourist visa (whether that requires exiting and re-entrance or being able extend without having to leave).

We have already seen members posting information in this thread that seems to show that they may well be able to consider the income from a signature campaign to be their full-time funds and even their full-time job.... On the one hand, we know that most signature campaigns are not going to require more than a few hours a day or even maybe 8 hours per week at most to meet their posting requirements - even if some members might have to struggle with composing acceptable content.  And, we also know that any one signature campaign is going to have uncertainty in how long it will last, but it seems that the forum practice of allowing signature campaigns will continue to allow some expectation that there will be an ability to continue to earn money through a signature campaign.. so there might be some ability to rely on the continuation to some degree.

Of course, those of us with a variety of income earning options or even those of us who have already stacked away value that we are able to live off of into the future (aka built an investment portfolio) are going to realize that it tends to NOT be very prudent to rely ONLY on one source of income (or one kind of income like signature campaigns), while at the same time, it can be difficult to judge the circumstances of others without really knowing what kinds of job opportunities might be available to them based on their skills and abilities too...

Personally I have tried to suggest that guys (and gals) should be striving to earn money while they can (while they are younger and while they are able) because many times, we are not going to want to be forced to work when we get older.. so if we want to work when we get older then it is more of an option rather than a necessity.  If signature campaigns are a guy's (or gal's) only income, then it is likely going to be difficult to also save within that amount of income in order to build an investment portfolio in order to have money when older.. so it should just continue to be a consideration for anyone who is ONLY relying on the income of a signature campaign to live and to save whether that approach is aggressive enough in order to really be able to build some kind of a reserve nest egg (ie sufficiently substantial investment portfolio)..

oh and the same is true with younger guys who might be running around the world or going various places and only considering consumption without savings, they may end up having a lot of fun, but if they have not build some kind of sufficiently substantial investment portfolio, then they may well have ended up squandering away opportunities that were only  available in their younger years because later on they are not going to be able to make as much money if they have not built skills and experience to garner higher wages - and they might no longer be able to perform some of the manual labor that they thought that they would be capable of doing when older.

If you look at some of the opinions of most of the people in this thread, especially in the previous pages, it is actually those who live in countries that have a lower cost of living, it is quite reasonable for them to depend their lives here.
Looking for a basic job in the real world is still very difficult to do because apart from having skills, it is emphasized that there must also be experience in working (in my country, this is mostly the case) so that it will be difficult for those who do not have the previous basis when looking for work. so that there are indeed many unemployed even though they are already certified and get degrees in education.

UKRAINE

I might consider living in Ukraine maybe after the war. Based on Numbeo's 2020 Cost of Living Index, Ukraine ranks as the most affordable country in Europe and also one of the top-10 cheapest countries in terms of living costs in a new study. The best city for foreigners in Ukraine is, most probably,
Kyiv. Because Kyiv is the international city where people are get used to foreigners of any race, skin color and physical appearance. But living in Kyiv is quite expensive but it has better economic opportunities such as employment or business. But living in towns like Odessa would be better because it less expensive compared to Kyiv. The affordability of Ukraine is the reason why it has a high population of foreign students from India and Africa. Renting a room could be cheaper - you could fit into 50–70 USD. One-bedroom apartment outside of posh areas would cost around 100–150 USD. The street food is the cheapest. You will find pirojki or other baked goods vendor on a street corner on a busy day at a very cheap price. With a campaign money of $300 I can live like a humble king.

Getting a job in Ukraine would be very challenging because even before the war Ukraine unemployment rate for 2020 was about 9.48% in 2020.  This means that many nationals are not gainfully employed. Another challenge would be language barrier. Getting an English speaking job might be difficult. Maybe when my campaign ends I might consider working as an interpreter or a laborer in an agricultural farm.

I see a lot of people here talking about a lot of countries where the cost of living its really low, but.... i dont know if their are locals in this countries because if you see good, you have low cost of life but a shit infrastructure also or a lot of problems related to them.

I dont know who but  one guy put in the table countries like Rwanda or very poor countries, man you need to think, also with a ton of money maybe you can not have energy power or internet because of the shit infrastructure of the country itself.

How you can post here without internet?. Another main thing its how insecure its the country. If you cant walk without one guy stealing your celphone makes no sense to live in such places.

What about healhcare? If you get sick... GG.

I think sometime people move and burn their boats. One of my friends was very Well settled in the local country doing a decent Job driving a Honda and managing all his expenses very well but that migration has brought him to the start of his career. Moving is not that easy - you have to burn all the boats and then never look back.

Nature is nice, but honestly that would be about the last thing on my list of attributes for an ideal place to build a sig campaign castle.  There's plenty of it in my immediate vicinity for me to enjoy right now, but as far as I'm concerned it's just meh.

The style of homes on the other hand IS if concern to me.  Is it possible to construct a new home in Indonesia or any of the many countries that have been mentioned in this thread so far?  That was never a definite plan, but it's always been in the back of my mind to build an actual castle-type structure.  You know, with a stone exterior, turrets, and a general medieval feel to it--and also a dungeon for a basement where it's possible to get a wi-fi signal.

I like neither of those things, but Sabang does look beautiful and I'd never heard of it before.  Thanks for the info and the pics!

The style of the homes that you want or as you described it is still possible for you to build in Indonesia because in Indonesia there is still a lot of land and vacant land that is sold by the owner at a certain price and varies. And I think you can also easily adapt it to the desires that you have in mind. What I see is that the price of land or homes in Indonesia is still very affordable and people outside Indonesia who have money can definitely buy it or build it according to the type they want.

Don't have anything against Ukraine, but it would not be in my shortlist for destinations for retirement. From what I have heard, food items are very costly and the same can be said about most of the imported items. And I really don't think that renting a room in Ukraine can be as cheap as you have mentioned. If you go to remote areas, then the infrastructure is not up to the mark and you may suffer from frequent power cuts and lack of drinking water. And then, the weather in Ukraine is quite extreme. In winter, it can go 20-30 degrees below freezing.

based on statistics, the spread of the internet in Indonesia has reached 73% so it is very possible to build a house underground and still get internet access even though the conditions are in the middle of the forest...

In Indonesia, western people (or what we usually call Bule) will live peacefully and comfortably here, I have a friend from Holland who I have known for a long time, he is with his wife and 1 child and he has lived in Bukit Lawang for more than 6 years, he said he is very happy here because he loves orangutans and also Indonesian hospitality.

I've been to Sabang and to be honest, although the nature there is beautiful, there are some things that make Sabang unattractive. for westerners it is better to live in the area of ​​Bali or Sumbawa. besides the beautiful nature, its citizens really appreciate people from foreign countries.

I believe that every country at one point or the other has it remote areas concentrated by low class people and are underdeveloped, same also are thesame countries believe to have their major developed cities where life could be enjoyed to the fullest, here you find some international delegates and guest living within their cities, things could be cheap there compared to developed countries, life could be enjoyed satisfactory, internet will not be a thing of concern in places like that as well because no matter how poor a country could, there must be a city worth an international standard that it had.


Definitely a country like Rwanda should have health facilities except for critical conditions that warrant an advanced technology, i have seen Indian, UK and USA as the most common countries that has been sighted for medical care, people come across from many countries to study, buy and seek medical help from those countries because they possess the advance medical facilities and technology most.

One can consider Brazil for sports, if the user is the type that love varieties of sports in general, whereby England is another available option for the fan lovers of football matches, most of the popular football league games, clubs and matches take place within that region, though i learnt that living expenses is high within London but less in other locations nearby the capital city.


with your money you could make a good living there, forget the barriers there money has the ability to speak every language and adapt every conditions.

If you ever thought of living in Africa, one of the most eco-friendly top Hill resort that houses some of the world business owners looking for quite and conducive environment to leave in. Obudu Mountain Resort is located in Cross River state Nigeria, since you love typing under the tree this location will be the best for effective usage of your keyboard.

For retirement destinations, ideally we will be looking for peaceful and calm places. Nigeria doesn't exactly qualify on this regard. There are frequent clashes between groups belonging to different religions and different ethnic groups. One advantage with Nigeria is that it is an Anglophone country and therefore the expats may not face too much language issues. But in terms of crime rate, inflation, political stability and ease of conveyance, it would rank lower than most of the other African nations. If you are looking for a place to settle in Africa, then ideally you should go for Seychelles or Mauritius.

That is correct and the most beautiful of all is Indonasia and that is way more affordable, maybe one day - I too earn get some earning from my campaign and visit Bali or Nepal. And I wish I don't worry about money when I visit them. On a side note traveling gives you a relief and break from your monotonous routine.

Yes Nigeria has some security challenges, but the country is a very large one geographically. The security challenges encountered is mostly in the Northern part of the country and some part of the Western and Eastern parts. The Southern part where Obudu Mountain Resort is located is relatively peaceful and has a large population of foreigners. I would totally agree with your that Nigeria is not an ideal place to migrate to at this time but in few years hopefully after next years' elections Nigeria would became a tourist attraction. 

Bali is one of the best islands in Indonesia, you should go there immediately when you already have a good income from the signature campaign. btw, I also really want to be able to visit Nepal, what I really want to see there is Mount Everest, if I already have a 'safe' income from the signature campaign then I won't hesitate to visit Nepal.

Indonesia is not the best area that you can develop with one Bitcoin many places that have no values of bitcoin. What I'm trying to tell is that local areas still day were you can develop with small amount of money. I want use this medium to say African countries is poor continent

I think it's not possible to support an entire family only on basis of signature campaign earnings from forum, I mean sure that there are high paying campaigns but the cost to sustain lives is much higher, if you see, specially in developing countries, the average middle class earner earns around $1000 a month and still they live not in a very good fashion. In developed countries the cost to survive is much higher, and I guess it's easier to get a job in developed countries that pays way higher than most signature campaigns here. And it would be boring to live solely on signature campaign money because we should work as it's fun, keeps our mental and physical health good and saves us from boredom :D

Just like what @The Pharmacist had said, $1500 may look small in some region making it more competitive to live a satisfactory lifestyle but if we take a look at some regions in the world where $1500 can be approximately a millionaire or less can make a family of upto 5 to live very comfortable. Different regions with their nature of natural reserves and exchange rate.
Touring different is a good one and this will expose us to certain things we might be ignorant of. Life is meant to be sweet and interesting, that is why I feel so enchanted when I take a tour. There are many beautiful places in the world that are less expensive to tour just like some of the beautiful places I'm getting to know about on this thread.

Hey dude, I can see that there are some beautiful places in that country that will be interesting to visit. This thread has enlighten me to get to know some regions that could be affordable for a tour.
Waiting for campaign earnings to go for a tour? Campaign fund should be an addition to our income sources but I understand that all fingers are not equal. Life is good when you get joy from the little we have. 😊
Hahahaha, save enough so you won't be bothered about shortage of fund. 😂

Can you take a look again at the headings of this thread? Read what The Pharmacist said from the beginning so you can get the full details of this thread. If you don't think $1500 can take care of family of 5 then take a look at other regions or the previous comments to get a hint of this thread. Get it? Read through!

Hahahha, seems you are not happy with the continent called Africa 😂
I think op need to go and check the world map and see whether Indonesia is in Africa. Indonesia is found in Asia with beautiful landscape.

Many rich people with income above us cannot be happy like rich people. Why? because they don't know how to enjoy everyday life.
There are some groups of people with income earned from signature campaigns who can enjoy life like kings. Why? because they understand how to enjoy the income.

In a case like this, try to use 70% of the revenue from the signature campaign to buy goods as needed and use the other 30% for investment. I'm sure you will feel something that will make you feel happy.
For example, the income from the signature campaign is $1,000/week, if you are from Indonesia, then $500 is an amount that is difficult to spend in 1 week, unless you don't use this amount for needs but you use it for partying.

I think the same thing can also be enjoyed in countries within the African continent.

I disagree bro, In developing countries this amount is enough to leave comfortably with this amount, i don't know how many average middle class earners that earns up to that amount in developing countries, in fact, anyone earning up to that amount monthly lives a high standard life and can easily fends for family without much stress. As you have mentioned already, the standard of living in developing countries are not so expensive as that of the developed countries.  In some developing countries, the tax structure is not very strong, with that amount you can do more and pay less tax unlike in advance countries where the tax is very high.
i don't know why you think it will be boring to live solely on signature, it is more like working remotely online, and depending on individual needs, such work can give you the opportunity to do other things that are of interest (assuming signature is a long term job) 

Different people different choices. Some people like to rely on signature campaign while the other people want to work and enjoy other jobs as well.
That is personal choice - as long as the signature campaigns are running one should enjoy it. On a side note - why we are scared of signature campaigns to end? We have lost so many jobs in our real life - we find the other options when one door closes, have faith.

Not really good on making  yourself relying on signature campaigns considering that it is really not that permanent and if we do compare it into those day job then there's a significant or noticeable difference yet not all the times we do get fired or have been laid off on the current job that we do have but rather we've become a regular employee which could possibly take for long years
(thats if you are a good one) but if not then expect that you would really be replaced from time to time. Just like on my situation where i do have a day job and at the same time i have joined
signature campaign which acts as a side income and i never ever intend to leave my day job just for going full time with signature campaign.As long you could able to handle up yourself
on both things then i dont see for it to be necessary for you to quit your day job just because of this.Speaking or answering about the topic title, there are indeed people who could live
like kings on signature pay but thats if they are really able to join Chipmixer and have those rates. LOL

Sorry but I think you missed a little part to the study, which pretty much voids your argument. He said, we ought to assume the campaign to run indefinitely which very much makes it more of a job.

He isn't saying or trying to imy a dependency on signature earnings but using what is obtainable in the forum for an understudy of what life could avail a user at the other end of the world. I think the thread isn't exactly focused on The Pharmacist even as there are a lot of other users who possibly could be keeping a close eye on the speculations made on the subject and maybe this time, it ain't going to be about only signature earnings but, could have other streams to generate the needed amount of money.
In course of the thread, we might have to remain on signature earnings to stay on course.

in my country there is a friend who quits a real job, and chooses to live with cryptocurrency signatures, and he can actually support his three children and this has been going on since 2017, indeed at that time the signature gift was very large in my opinion, and he was clever, setting aside for other investments such as buying property, as if building assets, which in the long term can be a passive income for his family, until now he is still loyal to the signature campaign, although other activities such as trading and investing have increased, and all of his initial capital came from the signature campaign

Great Picture btw I'm from Indonesia too but never went there i hope someday will go there

---

I just got wasabi signature campaign i hope this campaign will run longer as chipmixer did but to be honest this campaign is my daily job,

if I can manage min.5 posts daily I get paid around $300 per month which is enough for me to live here. in my city minimum wage is around $189 per month so my payment still above but the negative side is the campaign is done I must looking for other job  :'( :'( altcoin/token sig usually not running well but i still gonna apply it rather than nothing

This is almost hard to believe, African's are not poor they have corrupt leadership who are not ready for the push up of the African continent. Also some looting a d stealing still going on till the moment most colonial bodies are still in charge secretly taking and looting fund's. They have good natural resources which can not be thrown away or over looked. Indonesia is a nice place but with inflation hitting hard scared if this will be carried down successfully.

You may be right that in develope countries $1500 from signature campaign would not be enough for family of 5, but even at that their are countries in some part of Asia, Africa and even some countries in Europe that such amount of money is more than enough to live like a king. Remember this amount of money ($1500) is for 5 members of family that comes in a week, that is in a month each member of the family are having a sum of $1200. In some countries in Africa some government workers are receiving around $300 in a month and they living with it in clothing and feeding.  1500 dollars is reasonable money to live the best life in some countries,  you can make your research if you haven't travelled to places .

This is actually an interesting story and I am much happy to see a person that is making good income from a signature and Is living a satisfactory lifestyle. This alone had illustrated what the creator of this thread is trying to pass to us with much comprehension. Even if I'm not into signature campaign it gives me joy that someone can earn enough to be contented with what they earn here and use it to take care of there entirely family without complain or looking for a new job to play along to solve there daily expenses.

This is the main subject of this discussion, a place where anyone even though with a family of 5 can live to there satisfaction, just like a king with a sum of $1500. This amount may look small in some region but I bet it, it is a big money in some region especially in some African region where inflation is low and there is low cost of living.

This money is not that huge in some countries where inflation is high but I am sure that in some region where inflation is low and price of dollar exchange may looks like a big amount especially when exchange rate is high.


African is a rich continent with enormous raw materials that could feed the world year after year but we'll know that bad governments and greed are making Africana suffer like they are the worse kind of people on Earth. It is time for Africans to fix themselves and make the world proud again just like the 19s when the West depends on Africa for raw materials and other valuables.

Jeeeesus H Christ, have you ever worked a typical 9-5 job before?  Maybe where you live it's all fun and games, but while I've certainly had some enjoyment out of work I would prefer not to have to 1) have a boss, and 2) have to work with people I can't stand.  When you start working a job, you never really know what the work culture is going to be like or if there are crouching saints, hidden cocksucker coworkers until you've already committed to it.  At that point, you just have to suck it up or quit and neither option is ideal.

I'm getting the feeling that a lot of members aren't understanding my scenario here.  Supporting a family was never mentioned, and I wouldn't have anyone as a housemate if they had to bring their whole family in tow.  I'm talking about 5 people sharing a house and not having to support anyone outside (or inside) the house.  With that criterion clarified, I think it's indeed possible--and a lot of people have said as much already.

Again, ain't talkin' about no family up in this mix.  This thread is about my particular fantasy, and I'm looking for feedback as far as places where the cost of living is low, the weather is decent, and I'm not going to be raped to death in the middle of the street in broad daylight when I go out for a smoke.

Oh, but it is.  It really is.

Learn to speak for yourself, and don't generalise people's mindsets. I have been following this thread and I haven't come across a comment that said they rely on this forum for a living, it is maybe a side hustle but wouldn't sustain you right now as a single person talk more of it as a family icon.
Again, you should also know this, there is no signature as forever, it is a privilege that you may enjoy for some time but most of them usually end with PAUSE until the team announce if there will be a continuation, most likely, that use to be the end. Now tell me, will you want to rely on such a stipend as a source of income.
You should also consider inflation especially now that we are in crazy times that almost all currencies are dying to hold their purchasing power, if the federal reserve is showing a CPI of 9%,  wonder how you want to manage signature payments to put food on the table. Besides, this is the US we are talking about as a developed country, Lord knows what developing and under developing countries, inflation will be right now.

That's too bad.

I loved this question because it beautifully connects the virtual world with the real world. All of us here in the forum work with a virtual character and actually live with another character. I enjoyed reading the stories of members from different countries.
Anyway, for me in my country here I live in a very poor country in the Middle East, $300 a week or $1,500 for five people is too much for this country.
300$ = 1 million of our local currency and 1500$ = 6 million in one week that means 6000 = 24 million of our local currency in a month, this is a very huge amount in my country in a month you can live here like a millionaire with this amount, you can get Lots of luxury and buying a house and a car within one year with a good living.
Imagine, for example, that I was working as a government employee with a salary of $30 a month, while I earn here in the lowest campaign about $30-50 per week. This means more than my monthly salary!!!!
You can live an average life with a salary of $300 a month while on a salary of $6000 you will live the life of the wealthy in this country.
But I would not advise anyone to live here in this war-ravaged country that suffers from a severe lack of services and resources.

Your story is really fun, but in this case it's only about the results of a signature campaign that is $1500 per week and wants to put into life like vacationing to a certain area with other friends. In essence it can indeed be done if the amount of money is $1500 for five people who are not a family and I think that is a little different from what you describe because your friend has to have another job to survive and also to be able to support his family.

live like a king in a country with an income of $300 dollars per person with 5 people then it becomes $1500 dollars per week from signature campaigns. according to my own observations then it is very possible.

on the condition that the rental price of a place or house is cheap and usually if you want to get satisfactory service at a low price then all you have to do is visit a developing country. because in every developing country, the price of everything is always relatively cheap.
and very different from developed countries. Living in much more expensive countries like Japan and the US.

I even visited several developing countries and how surprised I was because the money I usually spend in 1 week in developed countries, turns out to be enough for about 1 month more when used in developing countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

example of comparison in staple food rice. The price of rice in Japan is around US$4.56/kg, while in Indonesia it is US$0.7/kg. very big difference.

and not only in terms of staple foods but apparently in everything. like hotels etc.

then it would be very possible to rent a mansion like a castle and live like a king with the total income mentioned by the OP. origin in developing countries. and not in developed countries.
