    Efficient markets/jurisdictions to put 20-30m in real estate for passive income?

    Yes but your FIAT money debases whereas S&P 500 grows historically more than 10% (>6% when adjusted for inflation) pa on average.

    Efficient markets/jurisdictions to put 20-30m in real estate for passive income?

    With that amount of cash, I would just invest in an S&P 500 ETF. Yield typical value range is from 1.47% to 2.03% pa. Truly passive income, and capital is growing. Live and forget.

    Efficient markets/jurisdictions to put 20-30m in real estate for passive income?

    I can only find stuff in Khmer. I somewhat understand your compassion but locals are already priced out by hundreds of Chinese/Russian launderers.

    Tax optimization and lifestyle in 2025 for 8 figures wealth.

    Would you mind naming these banks? Was it premium/priority accounts? How much AUM was required? "Difficult" does not mean impossible, favourable outcome could be linked to the deposit size.

    Best tropical place to live?

    Like everything, better judge by yourself. Nowhere is perfect but Pattaya, out of the stereotyped zones and crowd, tick many boxes.

    Best tropical place to live?

    Well that's the classic cliché, but as I said there are quite decent alternative areas for those who can take the time to look around. Likewise, would you reduce Bangkok to Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza?

    Best tropical place to live?

    Definitely undervalued: I suggest you spend some time in Pattaya and surrounding areas, out of the touristic chaos. You have it all - decent infrastructure, food, sea breeze, girls... - at a bit more of 1h ride from BKK airport.

    Sure if your 20% cash can cover 10 years (worst case scenario) living expense. The issue here is during this recession period you are not able to invest/DCA down as your cash is used for living (unless you have other income sources), waiting fingers crossed the return of the bull market.

    The future of Bitcoin and crytocurrencies

    Banks will always be needed as middlemen. Central banks have no means nor will to manage individuals' wallets.

    This. Furthermore dividends will mitigate sequence of returns risk whereas with capital gains one may have to sell assets at loss during a lasting bear market. Capital gains strategy for income is far from passive/reliable as it needs market timing.

    Best country for a freelancer / digital nomad post-covid

    I prefer to live in a country where, at that hour time in Bangkok, these guys in uniform are nowhere to be seen because unnecessary. Regarding bribes, if you can speak enough the local idiom showing that you're not a tourist you'll in most cases be treated as locals in Thailand.

    Is corruption/bribery a problem? Certainly not as long as everyone is able to access it.
