So I live in the US and want to move somewhere new.  I really do see the US going down hill from here on out, with trillions of dollars in debt, distrust of government, loss of trust in the dollar, etc. etc.

I'm not a programmer or a bitcoin guru by any means, but I like to use the currency and think it's a good investment as of right now.  If I work in the health care field, would I have a very bright future there?  I'd like to move to a country that has a bright future ahead, and because of the fact that I think cryptocurrencies in general have a bright future, I would want to move there if the island is known as the "safe haven" for that.  I do not like being under regulation here in the states and would want to make the move in the upcoming 5 or so years.

But the question is, how is the government there? How are the people like? Does anyone on this forum actually live there now? What can people on here tell me about the Isle of Man?

It's probably like England but with less people. They have a great motorcycle race their every year and rumor has it they get visits from UFOs more than many other places on the planet (no joke.)

Do you think the UK doesn't have ridiculous amounts of debt (like the US)? The best protection is developing your own financial security, independent of government control. Personal savings, real estate, other items that can sustain you if the economy fails. Truthfully, bitcoin is not a doomsday currency. If society breaks down it'll be harder to transact with bitcoin because information networks will break down, i.e., your transaction can't hit the blockchain without internet.

If you need to relocate somewhere you should go visit and stay there for at least a few months, maybe even a year first. I have relocated on a whim and regretted it. Things aren't always what they seem.

As for aisle of Man... It looks BORING! Like seriously nothing going on there. Sheep and farms and little else. If that's your thing by all means go there, but I would go crazy there personally.

As for seeking btc places... Btc is border less man, you can use it anywhere. Just because a place has friendly regulation... I don't see the attraction.

Yeah that's true that the US isn't the only place with a lot of debt, but if I'm not mistaken, it's a lot better than here and the UK has a pretty solid political platform right now. Idk I guess I'll have to research it more, I'd just personally would like to try to start a new life somewhere.

Also I read in one of the threads around the forum that there is someone who is trying to raise money to put a satellite out in orbit that is kind of it's own block chain and can transmit transactions over radio waves rather than the internet for dooms day type reasons I believe.

Yeah that's what it seemed like when I looked up pictures of it, but at the same time looks very relaxing.. I'd like to go there if they had like one main city where you can get any shopping done and a local bar or something.  I was pretty curious if I could find someone on here that actually lived there.
