Another vote for the Philippines from me. One, it's where I was born in. Two, I happen to be, or had been, in a position, to know the former president. If that's not enough, I happen to be a commissioned officer in the military, so I can get away with very minor traffic violations, or enter places I would not otherwise have access to.

But even if you have none of those, its a decent enough place to live in, even if you are white as a vampire and stick out like a sore thumb. Stick to the top two large islands. If you decide you like the bottom one, try to stick to Davao city or other place that has large buildings, banks, shopping malls. You should be fine.

You can probably stay as a tourist for about 1 year, then you can worry about alien registration to stay longer or indefinitely. You'll need some sort of paperwork and documents if you intend to open bank accounts, and you'll need that even if you have lots of crypto / bitcoin because you'll have to pay for most things in fiat.
