Bitcoiners - Live From Bitcoin Beach

Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, I sit down with Mikkel Thorup, an expat consultant who helps high-net-worth families relocate to new countries. Mikkel's been traveling the world for 25 years and is an expert on finding the best places to live for those looking to escape high taxes and enjoy more freedom.

In this episode, we dive into Mikkel's recent visit to El Salvador. He shares his thoughts on the country’s progress, especially with Bitcoin adoption and improving safety. But is El Salvador ready to become a go-to spot for expats? Mikkel opens up about what excites him and what still gives him pause.

We also chat about Mikkel’s broader work, including his off-grid community project in Panama that's all about freedom and self-sufficiency. Mikkel is optimistic about El Salvador's future and is keeping a close eye on the country as it continues to develop.

If you're curious about what it takes to move to a new country and want to hear an insider’s perspective on El Salvador’s potential, this episode is for you.
