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

[Crypto_I.N]

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

[Ryu_Ar1]

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.

$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

[Jatiluhung]

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.

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.
like this
Sungei Wang Plaza

And
Mid Valley Megamall.

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.

[GiftedMAN]

I cannot be sure as the level of comfort varies from one personal standard to another.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 It's just a fantasy of mine,

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.

[Oilacris]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pandawa Beach.
Watch the Kecak Pull while enjoying the beautiful sunset.

Bali is a very beautiful place. Many people from rich countries move to Bali for nature and for entertainment.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

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.

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.

Though fantasy is to accompany real life story. And I didn't see fantasy in your narration.

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, 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?

[salad daging]

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.

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

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

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.

But most of the others have their rates in BTC and when the exchange rate goes down, the participants are in a loss.

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.

[JayJuanGee]

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)?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
