What if you really could live 100% on crypto

There have been numerous articles and videos posted over the years, mostly by media outlets, on trying to live totally on crypto. The stories tend to follow a similar pattern:

• Buy some bitcoin
• Try to find a restaurant that accepts bitcoin
• Try to buy daily stuff with bitcoin
• Try to find an apartment where they accept bitcoin

At the end of the day, the consensus is usually that it’s still quite difficult to really get around. If you come to the remote worker paradise I’m building in Panama, I can make it easy. Pay us in crypto and I will take care of all the other details. One bitcoin may even last you an entire year.

To date, we’ve had a strong presence in our small community from crypto enthusiasts. Over beers and a shared meal, we discussed how cool it would be to have a place where you actually could come and just live on crypto. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense.

Boquete, Panama is a small town in the mountains of Panama where crypto currency has piqued a special level of interest. There is a “bitcoin trading post” in town where you can exchange crypto currency for cash. Many of the residents invested in crypto currencies before, during, and after the boom. I believe if we lead with an example, and are willing to teach and share a bit, many of the businesses here (owned by eccentrics from all over the world) may be interested in following suit.
