I can't recommend London going by my own research having had some job opportunities there in the past. It also remains to be seen what post Covid will look like. Some, including the Goldman Sachs boss, reckon we will all go back to working in offices soon. I highly doubt that. Thus the question is what does a London look like long term when people have no need to go there anymore.

Yeah right! Next they'll be trying to convince us that we can make phone calls without a cellular service. Fake news! This causes generational conflict (millennials and gen Z vs boomers and X-ers): A friend of my son got shut down when he tried to thread a colored ethernet cable across the house (from the gigabit router to his "gamestation"). lol ...now he is complaining that he is losing precious time in those super-competitive games as Wi-fi is unable to catch up. Case in point: no dominant female in the house would allow such ethernet cable monstrosity hanging in the living room going to the second floor (or even room to room on the first), no siree ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . Good day to you bag holders, feeling fabulous, orders got filled again. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) And I have those type of cables laying around all of my 3 homes. And ladies get constant treaths from me to not walk with long heels on them or I'l give them the heel. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) and btw which orders got filled? Apparrently not the ones down to $27k ? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

The Bearish BAT Pattern became invalid when it broke to upside. You know well that TA is Science of Probabilities.
Translated for newcomers, without the verbal subtleties of TA: "The BAT pattern is bearish if the price goes down, bullish if it goes up."

Sounds good...will be taken under consideration when building a custom "dream house". The only question right now is: where? Current thinking is to go bi-coastal (a combo of FL/WA-OR-CO; Caribbean/WA-OR or even FL/Canada (Vancouver?)...less likely is one house in US, one in Europe (London or something sunny, like Portugal). Portugal has something good going with a golden visa, but learning Portuguese might be difficult (or not).
This is something that many of us WOers will seriously need to consider. And by the looks of it, this will need to happen sooner than some may have imagined. Bob is building a ranch, Jimbo is buying a lake (man, that sounds so cool), Elwar is into seasteading (not without its troubles, but still, he's pursuing his dream). I'm also thinking of different possibilities. It's not easy to be rich. Sometimes not having a choice is much easier than having many choices and not being able to decide (although I'd take the second option anytime). If you live in the U.S., here's my advice to narrow things down (which I did): 1. States that favor private property rights and other freedoms (usually conservative) 2. States that have low or no income taxes 3. States that have low property taxes (this is huge!!) 4. States with moderate climates and a longer growing season 5. States that don't have to deal much, if at all, with natural disasters (i.e., tornadoes, tropical storms, hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides, etc.) 6. States with low electricity costs 7. States that have lots of available, lost cost land within 10-20 miles of a major city 8. City near where you will live has a decent airport with international flights If you cross reference all of this criteria, you'll find that it narrows it down to about a half dozen states at most. I would also add States that have "Stand your ground" / "Castle doctrine" laws and allows "open carry", but that's just me. May not be something some people would consider. Edit: While you guys are looking for large plots of land, I would also consider putting up my own private outdoor firing range. Then invite the local law enforcement to use it. Make friends with the cops and military in your area. "You... uh... working again, John?" "No, just sorting some stuff out." "Oh well, I'll leave you be then. Good night, John" "Good night, Jimmy."

This is fun stuff. I would personally place a high value on a functioning government: The recent experience in Texas pointed out that you can have a wonderfully independent rancho apocalypse that insulates you from government stupidity however it puts you on a high value target list for your freezing and starving neighbors. I prefer to live in an area where I don't have to evaluate my neighbors based on their caloric content. Mostly because that's a lot of un-needed stress.

The US is tricky right now. Some states are about to flip blue, especially given the electoral changes that the dems are trying to push through right now. And even if they don't, the federal government looks on a course to hugely expand its powers and oversight. I'd avoid making any big moves for the next couple of years and then try and pick carefully. Yeah, but there are some states that are firmly red and always will be. In fact, I'm betting that the state I live in now will still be standing firm as a last bastion of low taxes and personal freedoms, when all other states around it have collapsed due to govt mismanagement, unaffordably high taxes, defaults, and other over-reaching nannie state bullshit. I won't divulge where I live tho, 'cause OpSec and all.

But, does your state respect both the first and second amendments? Can you carry a loaded firearm openly without needing to conceal it, without a license? (I understand some States have Concealed Carry Licenses too.)

Really you narrowed it down to Texas. Except for #3 which is balanced by #2.

You can't carry openly in Texas without a permit. Licenses granted on a "shall-issue" basis. Which is better than nothing, but it's still not unrestricted.

You are right you cannot open carry in public in Texas (yet). But you can carry concealed, and you can carry openly on private property. Texas' gun laws are fairly permissive.
