Crypto sovereignty, simplified.
I live tax-optimised with crypto in Portugal. This site is my notebook—what I use, what actually works, and how to set it up without the fluff.

Portugal notes
Portugal's rules reward planning, patience, and clean records. Here's what I do, and what I avoid.
Residency
I moved here on the D7 visa route. It's not the easiest path, but it gives you 10 years of tax benefits if you structure things right. The key is having passive income from outside Portugal—crypto trading can qualify if you do it right.
Custody
Hardware wallet (Trezor) for anything I'm not actively trading. Simple multisig setup for larger amounts. Never keep more than I can afford to lose on exchanges, even the "good" ones.
Spending
Revolut card for daily stuff. Crypto debit cards for larger purchases. Always keep some fiat in a local bank account—you still need it for rent, utilities, and the occasional cash-only place.
