0.5 Bitcoin Now Gets You a Beach House in Albania Claims Nomad Capitalist – Trustnodes

From there you can view Corfu, the Greek island that is often favored by British tourists, and you’d be just a few miles off Albania’s Ksamil with its azure beaches.

For such a gorgeous holidaying destination, $20,000 sounds a bit too good to be true. Is it?

“Plenty of apartments 20-30k. Certainly more near 30k,” Nomad Capitalist says.

Nomad Capitalist says they help high net worth individuals “create legal offshore tax strategies, become dual citizens, diversify overseas, and create a ‘Plan B’ for chaotic times.”

They’re probably right thus that you can get a small one bedroom flat for that much at a distance of maybe 3 or 4 miles away from the beach, although monthly rent is cheap at maybe $200 a month for a beach view appartment.

Realistically however you’d need one full bitcoin, about $50,000, for a nice house and $70,000 to $100,000 for a full on vila with a decent verand.

Summer then starts around May for swimmable water, peaks around July when you’d rather be in the water than out of it, and continues to some extent until early November.

Nightlife is largely just for families however. Plenty of nice cheap food, including pizza or hamburgers, but there isn’t much choice for proper clubbing.

Certainly not to the level of Dubai or Ibiza, but not even to the level of Northampton because there’s almost no clubs at all, though loads of bars.

Making it fairly ideal for families and very safe, maybe even safer than London, with Albania also being a Nato member.

They’re the only country outside Switzerland to have an airfield bunker inside the mountain, so arguably any troubles would have long engulfed the world before they reach Albania.

Its long shoreline also has plenty of secluded places, but overall there’s a declining population due to emigration, making everything cheap.

That cheapness comes with its own tradeoffs. There’s occasional stray dogs, but they’re usually harmless and almost non-existen on the beach sands.

They like foreigners because they think they rich, and by their standards even minimum wage workers usually are, so they tend to be very friendly.

And for those into gardening the best thing about Albania may well be the very tasty home grown fruit and veg.

For sun starved countries like UK or Germany, the summer months in Albania can be an easy way to forget about much while tasting just what fruit should taste like.

Locals know all the tricks of what’s in season and what isn’t, and that can easily make the difference of whether a tomato tastes like in England or like in Albania.

So these house prices probably won’t stay here for long, but it is still a developing country with its own tradeoffs that are more a lack of finishing touches or not the total comfort that one might be accustomed to. So it is more a budget holiday, for now, but nothing quite lacks really, it’s just everything is not quite as regimented as one might be accustomed to.
