The Appeal and Problems of Bitcoin Citadels in an Age of Geopolitical Uncertainty

As geopolitical tensions rise and trust in traditional institutions erodes, Bitcoin Citadels —sovereign co-living communities backed by hard money— offer a compelling alternative for families seeking autonomy and resilience. Drawing on his experience founding citadel.garden, Rahim Taghizadegan explores both the promise and the pitfalls of building permanent, Bitcoin-backed communities across multiple jurisdictions, asking what it truly takes to create lasting havens in an unstable world."
