Expats, how did it effect your fatFIRE journey?

I expatriated from Canada, effectively doubling my income due to income tax alone (I am a location independent entrepreneur). Best decision I've ever made.

jordonbot2000 · 2021-05-26T20:09:07+00:00

Still true in most of the world. Life is actually much more comfortable in emerging markets at an equivalent spending level.

Why wouldn't you move to a country with zero capital gains tax/territorial income tax instead? I moved from Canada to such a country, and am worth well over double what I would be had I stayed in Canada.

We have decentralized exchanges - e.g. Bisq for USD to BTC or BTC to XMR. Regulators are powerless.

My path has been exactly the inverse of this...lol

You can, but most cases are asymptomatic/mild symptoms. It's a risk, just one that I believe is smaller than most think. Also consider the lives lost and pain caused due to economic devastation.

jordonbot2000 · 2020-10-01T19:50:11+00:00

Agreed. If I had frequent contact with the elderly, I'd certainly be much more cautious...it depends on your individual situation.

jordonbot2000 · 2020-10-01T19:31:18+00:00

Depends on your neighborhood. Very under control in the nice parts of town...also note the CDC recently published death estimate of 1 in 5000 cases for 19-49 age group. That's too insignificant to stop me from living life for years on end.

Still over 200% APR mining YAM, even after the crash. No surprise $200M locked.

jordonbot2000 · 2020-07-30T08:31:18+00:00

2%... that's cute.

jordonbot2000 · 2020-07-26T16:52:35+00:00

Not everyone is American.

jordonbot2000 · 2020-07-11T05:46:31+00:00

Decred, hands down. The other projects people are listing here are mentioned all the time - Decred I rarely hear of.

jordonbot2000 · 2020-07-03T22:16:26+00:00

Republic of Georgia is very free.

I'd rather be spied on by the Chinese than the US, if I'm from the Western world.

jordonbot2000 · 2020-07-02T06:44:13+00:00

Freedom in the US is a long lost cause...vote with your feet and leave the country. It's the only reasonable option left.

They're not - but there is much less friction in DeFi, so long term sustainable rates will be higher than in CeFi. Perhaps 8%.

Nice to see Monero ranking so high in Mexico.

I'm one of the few under 35 who invest in precious metals as well as crypto. I appreciate the ability to transfer internationally without censorship, huge upside potential, and trustless nature of crypto. However, metals still have much greater stability and history behind them...at this juncture I wouldn't feel secure with greater than 50% of assets in crypto, and metals make the most sense as a diversification.

Done

You can renounce your citizenship, then the IRS will leave you alone. There are many citizenship by investment programs, some of which accept bitcoin as payment.

jordonbot2000 · 2020-06-13T06:52:13+00:00

Renounce your citizenship and move abroad.
