living of entropia (or other virtual worlds for that matter)
With Government leaching every cent out of the population to keep large corrupt corporates standing, it will become harder and harder to live of "non commen" or flexible means of income.
taxing is only possible when:
1: you are located in an area,
2: you are rich enough to be taxed
3: you are dumb ( or lazy ) enough to be taxed.
Take large company's for example, they all have their main office in some sort of tax heaven, and still hold their hand up to the governments to collect "loans " and guarantees. Thats like a person, not paying tax, but receiving social benefits.
there is no reason you can't do that as well. Its perfectly legal. and possibly a awesome way of living!
One of the successful concepts of archiving this is called " perpetual tourism", or perpetual traveler ( pt ).
doing this means you travel to a nation, stay the maximum allowed of time there as visitor, than move to another nation for the maximum a mouth of time.
the maximum length you can stay there, vary, from nation to nation. in the USA, a visitor can stay 122 days. some nations only allow 2 month visitor/ or tourism visa's. Most nations have a 3 month visitor visa policy.
on average this means moving each quarter year. The downside of this, is usually your "home"nation's policy's. they want to tax you. this means you may only go back to your home nation for a limited timespan. Otherwise you are considered a "taxable subject.", this varies per nation.
there are a lot of disadvantages in this way of living, but lets try a better variation.
the pt carousel.
5 or 6 ppl, join together in a informal friend group. they all move to a different nation. previously determined. all in contact using skype.
this nation should be relatively cheap to live in.
like this:
family , nation , location.
1 Spain Sevillia
2 Mexico La paz
3 Venezuela coro, or maracaibo
4 turkey allanya
5 usa somewhere in utah or bc or so.
6 namibie walvisbaai, or windhoek
each person ( or family) tries to find the cheapest, safest, most luxurious, comfortable way of living in that area, for a budged of say 1900 -2000 dollars/ month.
Every 3 months the groups swaps.( eg, moves one down the list.)
to the house, or "life" of the other person. and tries to improve the living conditions in that area. finding a better / safer/ cheaper home. looking for better ways of transport. the best local doctors. etc etc. how to get Internet etc. etc.
You can organize a "one month vacation swap " for all to get together"
This way the carousel "improves" quite quickly.
Also you can have one family each that moves to another nation, Broadening the "viable living places ". (experienced families doing this report a living costs of about 1300 dollar / month including the flight tickets etc. )
swaps with other carousels could be possible.
When you at the same time take a international bank account, like the ing-group. or credit suise, or any trusted one, you can deposit and get cash anywhere.( tip use debit accounts, not credit accounts, thats a lot cheaper)
you than can live your life of the net or virtual world, see the world, and live tax- free in places witch are ( usually ) a lot better than what you live in now.
there is also an other consideration.
tourists are usually better treated by governments than they treat their own ppl.
( open your mind)
( above concept is not illegal in any way, it also does not stimulate illegal behavior, it does stimulate smart behavior)
