Best countries to live in for BTC holders

[Sesochi Maspinto]

Interesing question.
I'm just curios when governments will wake up

[WhaleHunter]

Chose a country with a very large bitcoin adoption rate, if possible  not too much under control of the banking cartels.

I think there are still many countries where a bitcoiner can live well and dont be ripped off by authorities for his gains, examples I heard about are: Holland, Qatar, Dubai, Cypris. But there are a lot more I guess.

Holland? Do you have any sources for that? I would be very interested to move there.

Right now Japan is probably the best country for Bitcoin users. Singapore and Switzerland are some of the countries which rank just below Japan in terms of tolerance for Bitcoin users. And perhaps India is the worst country if you deal with Bitcoins. The government is harassing Bitcoin users for quite some time now.

Japan, South Korea and UK all the way!!!

I think Australia is good at bitcoin prices

[Neurogress]

I think it's Japan and South Korea

Japan. Only Japan is god country for BTC.

It’s easy to advice about moving to Japan or another Asian country if it doesn’t concern you . This’s a different culture. I don't think that is comfortable to live in this country.
Britain is more comfortable and more safer than any asian country.

Did you rad news about North Korea? It's not far from Souh Korea... And North Korea to launch a ballistic rokets... Which fell near Japan.

Japan, UK, Australia, Canada, Swiss, South Korea and good old USA.  The USA prob has the most Bitcoin holders.  It has the most blockchain startups, and home to many crypto currency.  The USA has been at the forefront and will continue to be leaders in this space.

Hi all,

With ever increasing BTC prices, where can BTC holders move to minimize taxes? I'm confused by many of the tax laws that I'm reading about. It seems like clear rules have yet to emerge in many countries. Some countries have a wealth tax, which means that you must sell a certain amount of your BTC every year, which is regrettable. I think one should try to avoid these countries at least. But other than that, it is only the capital gains tax that is relevant?

Edit: Maybe this thread suits better in the Bitcoin Discussion section?

Indonesia sir, everything is cheap here (things that are not imported).
Foods, services, transportation, gas. I dont know about the tax here actually, but its not a bad option (decrease your living costs).

But what about different culture (if you European)? The question was "live in"...
For european it's not good variant, I think...

Anyone talked about Bahamas, but I think it is a good country too. Dubai is also good, but I do not like muslim places. Japan is good too, but too different culture. So... this is complicated.

I think better to stay 90 days per country and live in all of them!

Italy has quite a few locations where Bitcoin is an accepted payment method. Especially in the Milan area, a few dozen retailers deal with Bitcoin payments directly. Rome has a solid selection of Bitcoin merchants as well. For rent and utility bills,

Well, as I said, I just heard that its good in Holland. But I will try to find out, because Im also thinking of moving there for a while. Its a great country where one really can enjoy life. If its as crypto friendly as my friend told me it would be even better. If I will find out something of value I will share it with you in PM.

bad countries would include those that have lots of kidnapping, e.g. mexico. most coiners will have crypto apps running on their phones and they can be forced to empty their crypto wallets by kidnappers.

If you are honest with tax, definetly not Austria. Taxes are up to 50% if it exceeds 50.000€ a year (normal income included).

but i quess we all have to pay the enviroment...

how great is life in austria compared to, let's say, canada. especially in terms of benefits for taxpayers.

At this moment Japan is the most bitcoin friendly country in the world. There are many service providers who are actually accepting the bitcoins as a payment mode which could make the life of bitcoiners easy. There are many startups which are mainly focusing on cryptocurrencies in order to provide more services related to bitcoins.
