I'm asking this question seriously, though I'm going to qualify that by saying that I'm not planning on doing anything like this. It's just a fantasy of mine, and the question very much has to do with economics, i.e., it basically has to do with economies in various parts of the world and the cost of living. **Edit: This thread would be appropriate for Bitcoin Discussion as well, but mods, please don't move it there. This isn't a thread that's meant to be funny, and I'd like thoughtful replies--which I won't get if the thread gets buried in a picosecond within the wasteland of what should be the most important section on the entire forum.**

Let's say a few of the Chipmixer crowd wanted to escape whatever tyranny they were living under in their country or countries (I picked that campaign because I think it's the highest-paying one, but correct me if I'm wrong). We'll assume for the sake of argument that the campaign is going to continue indefinitely and that each member (let's say five in total) make the maximum number of posts per week, earning $300 worth of bitcoin in the process. Let's further assume that these Chipmixer snobs demand only the best--Havana cigars, a large dwelling with a decent amount of land and no neighbors, a wine cellar (to be filled), and all the illicit and legal substances their cadre of well-endowed women can procure. And a lawyer on retainer.

My question is whether there's any place on earth where $1500/week could allow five roommates to live very comfortably--perhaps not as boss-like as I described above, but maybe at least the big house and property. Over the years I've heard stories that Filipino members were able to pay for a good weekly allocation of food just from campaign earnings, and they amounted to a lot less the last time I participated in one of those discussions. I'm not picking on the Philippines; it's just something I remember and I don't even know if it's true. What I'm fairly sure of is that there really do exist bounty farms within single households, where multiple family members are all on bitcointalk spamming away and earning who knows how much.

That tells me that there's something to it, because there's no way father, sons, mom, and whatever grandparents are still alive would be bounty hunting if it weren't at least a little bit lucrative. So I'd love to know how far campaign earnings ($1500 per week for 5 people in my example) could be stretched. Are there actually places out there where one could not only survive but thrive by earning bitcoin on the forum?

<and how does one go about getting citizenship?>

I'll lock this thread if anyone reports that this has been discussed ad nauseam. But if it has, I've certainly missed it.

Looking at all you have said here and using my home country as a case study. $1,500 times four equals $6000 ( a month) and going by it when converted to my local currency we will arrived at about #3,600.000.that runs into millions we are talking about here, that even those we describe as rich people here in my home country don't even earn half of such amount in their 5months salary put together.

So most definitely, even ten persons in a family will definitely live like a king in any West African countries earning such amount $6000 per month.
