most people have changed their lives after what happened in the last four years.
many have bought bitcoin to be free from the looming financial desaster and from the dystopian vision of central bank digital currencies.
the former most attractive memberships have suddenly lost their appeal: australia, canada and europe do not look attractive and free any more. harassing citizens, abolishment of freedom of speech, high energy prices due to corrupt policies, uncontrolled mass immigration and a planned destruction of farming make many wealthy people leave. this year and last year statistics show a record number of people leaving western countries.
where do they go?
services for second passports are booming. caribbean island like dominica, st.lucia and others are offering almost instant passports without even living there. prices start at around 100-150kk for singles. you can even pay in bitcoin.
other countries offer slower options with investments, mostly property investments and they want you to live there from 2-5 years before you get their membership. turkey for example requires a 400k property investment. the membership program is straight forward.
a cheap and increasing popular program is paraguay. there are no financial requirements, just a clean record to get a temporary visa which you can convert into a permanent one after a year and into a passport after 5 years.
another interesting one is argentina. milei announced that you can use any money in argentina and no judge can intervene. immigration is easy and you can apply for a passport after only two years of living there.
those are some attractive examples of countries where you can get membership and where you could go when they bring another crime like the planned war in europe.
there are still many options possible. but as with bitcoin, the more demand, the scarcer it becomes. all options become more expensive and more complicated if there is high demand.
i know that us people get extorted even if they pick up another membership and even if they live in another country. the only solution is to renounce the us membership. many bitcoiners have done that.
in the current situation of the world you can still find a place where freedom is appreciated and where you can live undisturbed and without any extortion. but you need to choose wisely
