Is there a place in the world you could live like a king via sig campaigns?

[JayJuanGee]

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.

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 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 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.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

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.

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.

One of my greatest barrier would be language because getting accommodation might difficult since I do not speak either Georgian or Russian.

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.

What his daily routine life in Zimbabwe would look like?

Lots of typing under the glow of candlelight.

[Z-tight]

That's one of the problems I'd anticipated if my signature campaign castle ends up being located in a non-English speaking country.

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).

[Maestro75]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.**

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?>

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

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?

[Ahli38]

When I Visited Lome that is the Capital City of Togo , In West Africa even if you're paid $50 dollars per week, this is huge some amount of money to some Togolese resident who receives payment via sign campaign because I have an Uncle that currently lives in Lome, during the first time when he visited Nigeria he came back with millions Of Togolese currency and it was astonishing to him that when converted the Togolese currency to Nigeria Naira it was worth nothing, then taking into account the Dollar conversion rate to Togolese currency CFA Franc XOF,  which is on the high side,  when I did a calculation of it and see earning $50 dollars a week as a Togolese citizen or resident you will live like a King.

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.

[Ultegra134]

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.

[Majestic-milf]

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.

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 tourist.

I know right! But is this information really mandatory ? But chopping a toe off is worth about 40,000$ which is almost twenty-three million naira(23,000,000) in the Nigerian Currency.  Bloody fvckn racks, but you should also know the risk involved hhmmm ? You know right.
I believe all of that are simply been used for some black magic stuff, you know what I mean ?
We shouldn't shift from the main point The Pharmacist has actually fantasized about, you should be on point, although I'm not saying you aren't.  I have seen some news about some people already making moves to Zimbabwe to chop of them toe's, wanting to make quick money is detrimental as it might also land one in a bastardized situation/ state.

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.
