Is it possible/an advantage to live off-grid with bitcoin? What I mean by this is living on a rural property, perhaps running a full-node, completely independent from the existing fiat financial system. We want to remove our dependency of the banks and corrupt political establishment entirely.
Obviously, you would need electricity and a computer to run a node and connect to the network. Perhaps bitcoin is not well suited for rural lifestyle or off-grid?
Actually, this is not impossible. You can live off-grid but there are many challenges one must be prepared for. You need your own infrastructure that can generate the power you need for the mining, you can for solar or wind or maybe hydro if there is a good source. On this big challenge along, you need huge capital. Then you make sure that you know good agriculture because you must be planting most of the things you need to eat as it would be hard to find providers near where you can be located. I am actually interested of this idea generally, even if am not interested with bitcoin mining but living off-grid sounds very romantic and cozy. I love to commune with nature, by the way, which can come handy with this proposition.
This is a good video of someone who is (or maybe was since this video got uploaded in 2017) mining cryptocurrency using the solar power he generated, maybe we can learn a thing or two:
