I’m the Insularist, a British-born investor, writer, and early Bitcoin adopter living in Southeast Asia.
I built my financial independence through Bitcoin – turning a working-class background and obsessive self-education into a ~$5m portfolio. Now I live intentionally: based in South East Asia, focused on sovereignty, and designing a FIRE lifestyle that values freedom over status.
This blog is for people like me — focused, sovereign, and offshore-minded. Here you’ll find:
- Bitcoin-first investing ideas – from long-term accumulation to yield strategies.
- FIRE for the high-conviction few – building independence without diversification theatre.
- Expat and offshore living insights – banking, tax, and lifestyle design for a stateless mindset.
I write for clarity, not clicks. If that resonates, welcome aboard.
