Ask HN: a good bank for digital nomads?

As of a few years ago I have been living between Europe, South America and sometimes Asia. So now I'm trying to structure my assets to better suit that lifestyle in the future. I'm trying to find a good bank (somewhere) that would serve as a central hub for the bulk of my assets.It would ideally:- not have (too) high yearly maintenance fees- have moderate transfer fees- be secure- a plus would...

Thats a really interesting suggestion actually. I have previously sold a few domains I acquired a while ago and that is something I was considering getting into again.

But to buy a domain together with a profitable website hmm... have you done something like this before?

There is an an end-game? :) Maybe. Who knows. Does it matter?

Yeah thats fine - although not going to do much for my MTV-style lifestyle - MTV will probably be gone by then :)

You're right of course - I know there are no guaranteed ways to double your money.

Have been considering stocks - its definitely a real option. Or possibly investing into a managed fund. I did play with the stock market a few years earlier and did have a nice return on it.

But was thinking about possibly more creative/risky ways to try. Stocks are fine - my only problem with that was - it takes time/research to do properly (if I'm doing it blindly its a bit like Vegas then). And obviously 8% on a 30k is not as profitable as spending my time doing more freelancing.

So if I'm spending that time - I was thinking I need higher returns. I've also been looking into FOREX for a while, but I have mixed feelings if any amount of research/time could predict the volatile jumps over there :)

I'm actually fine with risky investments (which does not translate to stupid investments) - am potentially willing to risk it all for possible better returns.

Was in this situation a few times before and ended up just spending it all on crap that I don't really need anyway.

I did a lot of freelancing this year and find myself in possession of an extra 30k that I don't need for at least a year. What would currently be the best way to make the most of that money lets say after a year?Invest in Bitcoin (although its pretty high already)? Invest in stock (any particular)? Fly down to Venezuela and invest in a nice beach condo? Or something more conservative - just let...
