Reykjavik. The most beautiful place on earth (well, not the city itself, but the island.) The most interesting people, collectively, that I've ever encountered.

Last trip, we met a young woman who was a national-level sharpshooter, the lead singer in a punk band, and ran a business of some kind, I forget what. So many stories like that, random people just so alive and full of agency and curiosity. I agree with vibe being one of your criteria, that's the vibe I want.

Food is terrible, though, and more expensive than anywhere I've ever been. Staggering how expensive it was -- and I mean the prices in grocery stores, not swank restaurants. You'd have to be rich to eat well there.

Back to my roots in Italy.

Its a tough question...

Countries that are attractive today (the west) seem to be in a decline. Some so called "developing countries" are on the rise, but when are they ready to be moved into. There will be a time soon that it will become clearer.

Property rights are still most important. And that leaves a few states in the US. That why most of the richest people still live there.

Southcoast of Crete where I actually am 3 months every year. It's a small village without traffic. Lovely place to read and write.

When my shares in Stacker News pay dividends and i become rich, i would live i nthe Ex Machina House with monthly helicopter drops:

Spaceship. I'd build a asteroid home and make a retirement community in space

Somewhere sunny and evenly warm throughout the year, a small island in the Caribbean.

Regardless of if I had a decent amount or a lot of money, I'd go live in the Dominican Republic.

Some place where the people aren't so perverted as to have lawns of grass that need constant mowing and blowing. Where I currently live, they mow and blow their lawns whenever the temperature is above 50F -- yes, even when the grass is totally dormant and no leaves have fallen for months. I can only assume that the majority of people in my neighborhood are totally deaf due to old age, because they all pay for the loudest possible lawncare (e.g. 2 mowers and 2 blowers for 30-60 minutes) and they are all okay with the volume of noise.

somewhere coastal and obscure, maybe portugal or greece

Where I live now but I would buy a vacant lakefront lot and build my own house from the ground up if I sat next to the fiat printer.

Nashville. Music & Bitcoin Park.

switzerland or el salvador

i’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be one place.

we’re all multi-faceted and so i think it makes sense that we have different places that serve different aspects of our lives.

switzerland for outdoor adventures, austin for bitcoin discussions, japan for food, etc…

Somewhere different every few weeks.

You're probably a bitcoin millionaire, already looking at a certain country and want to find a safer place. Am I on to you? )) Seriously, Switzerland. The US is good too

The most important aspect regardless of where in the world: your neighbors/community

Money isn't an issue?

I'd like to go back to Venezuela, but no one around me would know that I hold many btc, for my own safely.

Venezuela is a great country, best weather on earth, amazing scenary and happy people everywhere.

I was asking the same question myself, will there be a place where they respect your financial freedom and free speech? Good luck living in any country which is a WEF ally.

I would live in a village close to the water.

In that situation I would probably live in multiple cities around the world, I wouldn't stay in a single place for too long, maybe one or two months at each place, depending on the weather and other factors.

I would also not just forever start from zero, I would have maybe around 6 main cities around the world.

In a VAN.

Anywhere that anarchist hillbillies are the majority of residents. Usually that comes at the cost of isolation and reduced access to markets but I'll take the solitude of a wilderness any day over the loneliness of a crowd.

I guess here in California even though I like talking smack about it. Family's been here since the gold rush. All buried here. It's enough.

I would just move back in a nice but readonnable in my home city in Switzerland, to be close to family and friends. The most basic house there is around 2 millions, resonnable nice one 3 to 5 millions. In any case you must be lucky to find any house well located there. A 3 bedroom appartement can cost 3k+ easily, and nice one more lile 4k+ once all cost added, I couldn't afford it for my family so we had to move to a cheaper area (about half these prices).

Same latitude that I am no matter the country but in a house like this

It's not. Texas.

Vice City circa 1986.

San Diego. 70 and sunny every day! Great food culture access to the pacific.
