Left Europe in the end of 2019, been living mostly in Australia, travelled a little bit of Asia (Cambodia, Thailand, Bali), currently checking out New Zealand. It's sort of similar everywhere, but it definitely feels like the EU is getting worse faster. Australia is great - big, beautiful and kind of isolated, which can be both a good and a bad thing. But generally on a similar track. NZ - though I haven't been here for long, feels sort of like Australia, but perhaps even more of a nanny state. Cambodia is more down-to-Earth, but also less developed and is, unfortunately, in the process of selling themselves out to both Western and Chinese interests. Also there is a very visible division (in terms of wealth) between the normal plebs (i.e. poor people) and the government/banking sector. Thailand looks a bit better and seems to be more freedom-oriented (i.e. legalized cannabis), but that's also just sort of a surface-level observation. Unsure how good/bad the government and regulations are. Similarly I can't say too much about Bali/Indonesia - only spent a month there - but Bali itself is basically just a tourist hub and the Indonesian government looks rather bad (censorship, very harsh drug laws, it is illegal to accept BTC for payments). From what I hear there's basically 9 families (The Nine Dragons) who run the country + there's mafia around (not sure if separate from the 9 Dragons or not).
My personal current plan is to build an income stream in the West and then head out to South/Central America - countries that have already been through the deep shit and are beginning to emerge on the other side (El Salvador, Argentina). Since I've never been there yet, can't really know for sure how it's really going and what the conditions are compared to other parts of the world. But I'm hopeful.
We really do need a true Bitcoin country. The land of the wild & free.
Godspeed 💜🧡
