Okay, so you’re being investigated by the FBI or NSA or ATF and need to drop everything, time to disappear.
They freeze all your assets, you can’t do anything – fully screwed.
All you have are your bitcoins and the clothes on your back, what are you supposed to do?
First, you need to figure out food & shelter – wherever it is you are.
For that you’ll need to find a computer that you can use for free (friend, library, hotel lobby), and go to http://coinmap.org/.
I’ll use myself as a use-case to show examples of what things you can find on coinmap (and other sites like it).
For shelter it looks like there are two good options that accept BTC – http://daysinnknotts.com/ & http://hojomaingate.com/.
Sweet, a roof over my head – settled.
By now I’m probably starving because I haven’t eaten all day. There are a bunch of restaurants that accept bitcoin, like http://www.lepetitjardinbistro.com/, but I’m supposed to be off the grid so I don’t want to be seen out in public.
A few blocks away there’s a pretty cool “pizza for btc” website that delivers – http://pizzaforcoins.com/, I’d probably do that.
After a few days of motel life & pizza, I’d definitely go crazy.
It would probably be best to just get out of LA and go somewhere where I really can’t be found.
With a few minutes of googling, it looks like these are my two best options for buying airplane tickets using BTC: https://btctrip.com/ & http://www.cheapair.com/
The question is, where to?
France? Yeah, why not. French Riviera? Yeahhh, I’m with it.
Purchased.
So, where am I going to live? Easy, http://niceniceapartment.com/ – love the design, the location is perfection, and they accept btc & ltc. Done.
Now that I’m chilling hard in the French Rivera, it’s time to build an empire.
In order to function, I need a computer of my own – http://bitroad.co.uk/ has a few.
I’ll also want to browse the internet w/ extreme privacy, meaning I’ll need proxies or a VPN. https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/ is perfect for that.
Once I have my computer I’d want to have the ability to securely buy domains & host websites. These guys have relatively good prices – http://www.bitronictech.net/
At this point I pretty much have everything I need & more.
If I were so inclined to upgrade with a yacht, sports car, jet or private island, I’d head over to http://www.bitpremier.com/. It’s basically a luxury marketplace where already rich people accept BTC for their ultra-luxuries.
That’s pretty much it, I’m not sure what else you would need to “survive”.
