What's the best place to live all-in bitcoin?

I am EU based and situation is getting always worse for freedom, money control is expanding and also social control.
I am wondering if I can live somewhere only with btc and get paid only in btc, I am a dev ( embedded ) with a long career and maybe my age is not the best fit for btc companies, but I still dream to shift my work fully on btc and I would be happy to live and learn 24h on btc study.
I know it's not so easy and I'd like to listen from this community some experiences of people who tried to live this way. Is it possible?
  • What is the best country to live with only btc in your opinion ?
  • Is it possible to have a house with btc ?
  • Is it possible to live completely out of fiat?
Tell me your experiences and if you are happy with your choice...

Lake Atitlan is the most beautiful paradise I've ever seen in my life, second only to Bora Bora.

There are few who are qualified to answer this unfortunately as there aren't many people living this way.
In general, I think it's less about moving somewhere and more about using bitcoin->fiat bridges when sellers don't accept bitcoin and pushing to accept bitcoin when you're buying anything.

Yes @koob I know... I am dreaming, but I hope that next generations could understand that western world is getting bad, the masters and servants are now more evident than ever, what scares me is that nobody is caring about that. Maybe I am too paranoid about it, but it seems that in EU we are all getting zombies, slave of ECB and their gangsters. I dream that young people will abandon fiat without a revolution.

Read different opinions on that, I am a bit sospicious on president, I don't like this "enforcement" on bitcoin. My idea is a smaller community that agrees on btc as medium of exchange. Here in EU I heard good words about southern Portugal ( Algarve ) and Canary islands, but can't say that I have seen with my eyes.

Isn’t “enforcement” what you are asking about?? (Decree Bitcoin legal tender)
If not then you should realize nothing is stopping you from starting those smaller communities right where you are. Shake your farmers/ranchers hand and pay them with bitcoin

Haven't been but I like the look of Boracai Island in the Philippines.
If we get a pro bitcoin president in the US next year, Nashville might be another good one
