We assess, recommend, and handle the process
Two founders and local legal teams. International residency, tax, and company setup, then a case we stay with.
How we got here
We built Hacking Lives after years of living and working across borders. The work is practical. We assess where someone stands, recommend a route that fits, and handle the process with lawyers in Paraguay, Panama, and the US.

How we work with clients
We say what fits and what does not. If a path is wrong, we will not sell it.
Start with your life
We start from how you live and earn, not from a ready-made package.
Straight answers
We deliver what we promise. If something will not work, we say so early.
Local legal teams
Filings go through licensed lawyers. We stay accountable for the case.
A setup you can keep
We build routes that still make sense a year later, not one-off paperwork.
Only the layers that fit
We recommend the countries, companies, or foundations that belong together. Nothing extra.
What the work looks like
Clients come for a second country, a cleaner tax base, or a company that can operate across borders. We keep the file moving until the setup is in place.
From the journal
What we believe in
We live in Paraguay and help run Bitcoin Paraguay. The meetups and workshops in Asunción are a real community, not a slogan.

Bitcoin Paraguay Community
Bitcoin Paraguay is the leading Bitcoin community in Paraguay, dedicated to promoting Bitcoin adoption and education throughout the country. We organize regular meetups, workshops, and events to build a strong ecosystem of Bitcoin users and businesses.
