This page shows the cost of living in China, with all prices converted to Bitcoin satoshis. By measuring costs in sats, you can compare purchasing power across borders without the complexity of fluctuating exchange rates.
The COL index is the sum of six key expenses: a beer at a bar, a cup of coffee, a liter of gasoline, a kilowatt-hour of electricity, one-bedroom apartment rent, and monthly internet service. A lower index means your sats stretch further in China.
