Awesome video. I'm Costa Rican but grew up in NYC and moved to Texas when I got fed up with the gov't BS. Now, in my 40s with a beautiful wife and two adorable little girls, the atmosphere here in the US has degraded to the point that Costa Rica seems to be calling me back. My wife and I spent a month last year exploring regions and this summer will be back with our girls. I need to win over my family's approval on such a massive move. I'm not into BTC, but own several big alts. Very soon, these assets will allow for us to break the chains and live life closer to nature and our food sources. PURA VIDA!!!!

This is INCREDIBLY inspiring. We lett Canada for the same reasons and are now settled on beautiful Lake Arenal. I wish we were closer to this community. There is no BTC community that I know of on the lake and very few food markets - only one that runs twice a month that is 30 mins ftom us. My hubby just built a small greenhouse, and we're just starting to try to grow some of our own food. We also run a motel with cabins, so life is very busy, but your video is so inspiring. I want the change I see happening in your community. ❤ And as BTC continues to do so well, this video has inspired me to rethink what my priorities are. I still feel like a slave to the system. But it is early. I'm glad I know what I know! We have some important decisions to make in the near future to survive. To be free 😊

A lot of the vendors keep a portion of the BTC they get as treasury savings within their business - depending on the cashflow needs, they convert the rest to fiat or buy raw supplies with it from other BTC accepting wholesalers.

Hi, I am from the UK and I have struggled in the last few years to feel a genuine connection to the place I was born. Like you I feel frustrated and disillusioned with western society. I have spent the last year living in South East Asia and have enjoyed the simplistic lifestyle, however I would like to connect with like minded tech enthusiasts adopting bitcoin. How can I discover other communities like the Bitcoin Jungle where I could consider living? I no longer want to live under a controlled fiat system. Thanks!

@WowFactorChronicles 4 месяца назад

Awesome Content and especially from a Montrealer like myself. I like to know more about this community. I do have one very important question if the creator can answer as they are using BTC as payment. How are the fees because from what I know and had experience, when buying small items like shown in video the fees be lot higher. Can you explain the workaround this or how you are avoiding high fees, which is the main issue in turning BTC as Payment all across. Now like I said can we exchange info and discuss more on this new adventure as I am looking into something similar

@getbasedtv 4 месяца назад

Hey hey! Glad you liked the video! As for the fees - Bitcoin works in multiple layers, sort of like our traditional finance system does IE the difference between paying in debit vs paying via credit card. Bitcoin's base layer 1 is expensive (currently around 2-4$ a transaction) because it saves every transaction into the blockchain forever. However, many people use layer 2 protocol for Bitcoin called Lightning, which is designed to be cheaper and faster than Layer 1 because it has no permanent record of transactions, just a record between the two+ parties transacting at the time. These payments cost fractions of pennies and most wallets now support it - you can send Bitcoin to the Bitcoin Jungle wallet and many others, and start immediately transacting via Lightning for little to no fees. Hope that makes sense!
