"The Beacon"
"I'm Lighting The Way."
You've Earned Your Freedom—Now Fund It
You've given decades to education. You have a pension coming. Social Security is in the pipeline.
But when you calculate what that actually buys you in the U.S.—rising healthcare costs, property taxes, inflation eating your fixed income—it's not the retirement you imagined.
You're dreaming of Panama City. Affordable healthcare. Lower cost of living. Year-round sunshine. A vibrant expat community.
The gap between your pension and that dream? That's what we're closing.
You're Done with Complicated. You Want Simple and Smart.
You don't want another job. You don't want to manage properties or chase tenants for rent.
You've maybe owned real estate. You know the drill: property managers, maintenance calls, vacancies, headaches.
What if you could get the passive income of real estate without any of the hassle?
That's exactly what Bitcoin mining-as-a-service offers.
Think of It Like This:
Rental Property Model:
You buy the property (upfront investment)
Hire a property manager (ongoing fee)
Collect monthly rent (passive income)
Property appreciates over time (bonus)
Bitcoin Mining-as-a-Service Model:
You buy the mining rig (upfront investment: $8-12K)
Mining company manages everything (ongoing fee: 10-15%)
Collect weekly Bitcoin payouts (passive income)
Bitcoin appreciates over time (bonus)
The difference? No tenants. No repairs. No property taxes. No being tied to one location.
Your mining rig runs 24/7 in a professional facility with cheap electricity. You get Bitcoin deposited directly to your wallet every week.
That's it. That's the business model.
What If Your Conference Trip Built Your Future Community?
The scenario:
5-day Bitcoin conference in Panama City. Total cost: $2,800 (conference ticket, flight, hotel, food).
But you're not just attending—you're scouting.
What you do there:
Attend sessions on Bitcoin mining, retirement planning with crypto, international tax considerations
Connect with other teachers and professionals planning expat retirements
Meet locals, tour neighborhoods, check out healthcare facilities
Visit expat meetups, scout cost of living, test the lifestyle
Document your research (this is legitimate business travel)
What happens after:
Week 1: You know if Panama is really "the one" or if you need to keep looking
Month 1: You purchase your first Bitcoin mining rig through a reputable service
Week 2: First Bitcoin payout hits your wallet
Month 3: Your rig is generating $300-600/month in Bitcoin (depending on Bitcoin price and difficulty)
Month 6: You've stacked enough Bitcoin to fund another scouting trip—fully deductible
Tax time: Deduct business portion of Panama trip. Save $700-900.
Year 2: Your mining income is supplementing your pension planning. You've attended 2 more conferences (Portugal, Mexico) and found your people.
Retirement day: You have a Bitcoin stack, monthly mining income, and a community waiting for you.
Why Conferences Matter for Beacons
You're not learning to hustle. You're designing your next chapter.
At conferences, you:
Meet other retirees and pre-retirees with the same vision
Learn which countries are crypto-friendly for expats
Connect with mining operators to vet legitimacy
Find your future neighbors and friends
Test out cities before committing
This is how intentional retirees operate. They don't wing it. They scout, connect, and plan.
Why This Works for Bloomers
You have credibility and capital that younger teachers don't.
Other professional women trust you. You can charge premium prices for workshops. You have savings to invest (smartly). You understand delayed gratification.
Your advantage isn't energy—it's wisdom and resources.
Use conferences to accelerate what you're already building. Turn your knowledge into income. Set yourself up for the retirement you actually want.
What You Need to Start
✓ $8-12K for first mining rig (one-time investment)
✓ $2,000-3,000 for first international scouting trip

But hold on...
Your Financial Foundation: Start Stacking Bitcoin
You can't authentically teach "The Future of Money" if you've never bought Bitcoin. You can't network at crypto conferences as just an observer. Your students will know the difference between theory and lived experience.
If you already have your Bitcoin basics down, your ready to take:
