About SovereignIndividual
Freedom, privacy,
and sovereignty.
The story behind SovereignIndividual - and the person building it.
Founder
Yannick Eckl - CR1337
My name is Yannick Eckl, a.k.a. CR1337. I am 34 years old, from Germany, and settled in Cambodia after living five years as a digital nomad across the world on three different continents. I am passionate about personal freedom and sovereignty, as well as privacy-enhancing blockchain solutions and financial privacy in general.
Before entering cryptocurrencies in 2017, I spent 12 years as a professional online marketer (2008-2020). For most of that time I worked as a self-employed SEO, and partially as Head of SEO at German agencies, handling SMEs and multinational clients, and later as an inhouse SEO at a software company in Berlin.
The same skills I will now use to accelerate my new main venture, SovereignIndividual - a platform that offers education for people who value freedom, privacy, and sovereignty and are interested in Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs, offshore banking, and crypto off-ramps - exactly the things my partners and me can help you with.
Over the last years, I was able to grow my personal freedom and sovereignty further and further - you can do it, too!
Transparency
How this site is written.
I use AI tools across the site for research, outlines, first-pass drafts, and editing. I rewrite the parts that need a human judgment call, check figures against official sources, and I am responsible for what gets published.
That includes the briefing at /learn and the comparison pages for citizenship-by-investment, offshore banking, and crypto off-ramps. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on the pages they apply to. This is educational material, not legal, tax, or immigration advice.
On the nine-module briefing, I rewrote the larger sections before publishing. Other pages were also drafted with AI assistance and then edited by me.
