The amount of Bitcoin needed to retire depends on the country you live in.

This will be the first of a set of iterated analyses where I aim to answer: what is that average BTC stack size needed to retire in 2035 by country and age?
Much of the world requires less than 1 coin.
The big assumption here - which will indeed be updated in the future versions - is that, like US monetary expansion (M2), this is a 7% annual rate.
This will make a difference, so we will see in the next update. This will also contribute to more error depending on the currency.
The second big assumption is that the annual expenses are based on each country's average annual income (in USD).
