In this episode, I chat with Jan “Stallion” Marvan, CEO of Hacking Lives, about building real-world optionality: plan-B residencies, tax-optimized structures, and day-one self-custody.

We dive into why Bitcoin is first a tool for freedom, and why Paraguay has quietly become a top residency hub for mobile Bitcoiners.

If you want practical steps to become harder to stop, financially and physically, this one’s for you.
