Any of you guys know who Andrew Henderson is? nomad capitalist ?





don't sleep on this one though guys, I am being Socratic

 I can imagine that nomadic lifestyle would be tough on a family.  The only monetary nomad I know of was McAfee and it didn't turn out well for him - he was always running.  Maybe his plan was 75 and out though.  Who knows?

He is a dude with 10 passports. He seem to enjoy "collecting" them.
US taxation is worldwide, so it does not matter where you live as long as you are US citizen.
That, basically, makes it a "no" for a large % of people in US who would otherwise entertained living elsewhere for a while.



Correct, however, he "untied himself" from being a US citizen, it is doable, in fact, its kinda the point, of my line of questioning....

I recommend, especially given todays environment, that people give serious consideration to what he is saying....

The mantra is "Go where you are treated best"  

https://nomadcapitalist.com/

Which, especially once you reach a certain threshold of wealth , is not only possible, but also arguably desirable ......

Who cares about "American citizenship" when you have got power and options ?

FUCK THAT.

Geographical arbitrage.


You like your BTC profits? well imagine giving half of them away to the gubermint? thats right the same gubermint that wants to start wars, print money, increase taxes increase taxes some more, slap on a extra inheritance tax so they screw your kids? and on and on and on....


Not to mention many countries, especially "legacy" countries are now openly looking to harvest capital from anyone and everyone they can.

Because, they have been irresponsible for decades?


How about,  if your net worth makes it worth it , you consider geographical arbitrage, and increase your options, increase your possibilities ?


GUNS GOLD AND A GET AWAY PLAN, the three G's as Gerald Celente would say?


Even if you do not want to use them right now, it is always good to have options..... its even better to simply go where you are treated best, life is too short to not.


I appreciate that some people, do not want to go anywhere.... fair..... but even then you could incorporate elsewhere and run your affairs from abroad.

Certainly, every country has different hoops, ie which country you currently reside in... and the country you may wish to move to or incorporate in, become a tax resident in etc some countries require certain amount of days that you are there and blah blah blah blah....


BUT


It is worth looking at imo, and certainly for some of the readers of this thread.

I mean, if it suits your life, and suits your situation, you could LITERALLY DOUBLE YOUR PROFITS FROM BTC AND CRYPTO by doing so....not to mention, give yourself a life raft in difficult times.


Just think about it.... if BTC @ $200,000 is the day that you have decided is the day that you hit the eject button.... then maybe with careful planning you could reduce that number to $100,000........ (and it only gets more compelling the higher the number goes)


PS - AND THIS IS ALL 100% LEGAL, LEGIT TECHNIQUES BTW  


pps, taxes, and estate planning and the like make me literally sick, it boggles my mind and I cannot stand the whole process, so, a decent accountant is  a good start, but Andrew takes that shit to the next level, especially if you are up for relocating.


ppps- everyday that goes by is a day that this stuff gets harder and harder and harder, and your options are fewer and fewer.... like I said, the gubermints now see YOU as their piggy bank , because they dun fucked up so hard. So, you, your kids, and their kids are their GGG get away plan, for their incredible incompetence. We are all fair game

for reason of market evaluation I was trying to find out when mEth is going pos.

I couldn't find anything definite, so I went on their site...  I had a good laugh  Grin, it looks exactly like these fucking rug pull shitcoin sites...

Of course nothing about any time line, just a lot of empty promises and infantile nonsense..


(And no, I'm not posting a link to that shit into the WO)


Heh heh.... its coming sooner than people think


If you want to really blow peoples minds, drive them into a rage and a shitcoin rant of epic proportions, then, maybe you should post the squishchaos 70 page report on the "ETH triple halvening" ?  I was tempted to post it here to wind a certain person or two up.... heh heh...

I am SURE that it will wind people up enough that they have an embolism at the hubris, at the shitcoinness, at the deludeness of the guys report.... man, I was tempted to post it here just so I could laugh at the responses...... its kinda hilarious just thinking about the heads exploding at the guys thoughts.

Even I thought the report was pretty nutty, at the highest bounds of the price estimates of the report, though the lower ones, would not blow my mind either.


Fuck knows who squish chaos is btw, could be a escaped mental patient or a teenager doing his degree for all I know.....


Try not to laugh so hard you die ,or try not to shit the bed in rage if you read it though.


I won't post it here because....... I know certain heads would explode in uncontrollable rage and it would be fugly


Good for a laugh though

I think that guy, lived a hundred lives and lived them large, bless him, and I miss him.


But, no, what I am meaning is something totally different.... check link in my previous post..

It is not for everyone, but it is certainly for some of you.

^^ The guy has switched me on to various places..... Georgia being the latest, super cheap, super interesting, great food, great wine, beautiful country side, pretty awesome capital city etc, and pretty awesome tax regimes for expats, and for crypto entrepreneurs, people that want to start businesses, digital nomads, etc etc like I am talking super interesting "zero percent tax" in some cases. Residency is easy...

Plus, do not fancy residency ? just want to get away for a bit? sweet, 365 day visa free travel for most , and you can boarder hop on any day re enter and get another 365 days upon re-entry. Non residents can rent homes, buy homes, (I've seen neat country a-frame chalets for 20,000 euros!!!!!) buy cars rent cars, get license etc....


Flip side, I hear that sometimes it can take a while to get things done.


Just one of the little tid-bits I have garnered from Andrew.... I knew some people that travelled to Georgia before and loved it... but it was from him I heard about the other benefits.... not for you? then he has literally got tens of more recommendations and expertise to go with them , to get the most of of your investments, and your life, increase your options, and well, go where you are treated best.

Andrew, I want a discount/commission bruh for sales ! lols

PEACE , bros,  I hope that it is of use to some of you.

Is it Bullshit? If it's true, Do you believe Bitcoiners will fall for Non-Fuckible-Things?

why are you giving us links to stupid shit?

Are you trying to control what I would write or not?

Yes I am...

and I would like to tell you that what you provided is dumb.. stupid shit..

I already said.. so why repeat?


 Tongue Tongue Tongue


I don't think I have violated any rules. Healthy criticism is allowed.

That is be called Koreck.

Any of us can provide our criticism or refrain from such too.


But, Questions like why are you giving us links to stupid shit

Exactly.. that is called health criticism.


are not expected from a wall observer like you.

I am held to a different standard..

Oh shit.




I am referring you there to show you that there are a few dumb people who exist. But, Seems you are not better than them.

Yes.. thanks for pointing out that there are dumb people in the world.

That was very helpful.


Sorry, that I attempted to stop you from being ur best lil selfie.

I am so embarrassing.

Japan's second largest bank to launch institutional Bitcoin, crypto custodial services.

Quote
Sumitomo Mitsui Trust, Japan's second largest bank, is creating a new company called Japan Digital Asset Trust to offer custodial services for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for institutional clients, according to a report by Nikkei Asia.

The new company will hold assets like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for large investors and corporations because the company reportedly believes investors will feel more comfortable if the custody of those assets can be held by trusted financial institutions

Not that I care too much regarding what those "other cryptocurrencies" might be, but the article does not say anything about which "other cryptocurrencies" they might be considering, but suggests that they were influenced by Fidelity's bitcoin first assessment. 

I suppose that we will hear more if the product/practice gets more publicity besides possible disclosure to clients who might be choosing to use such services (or have confidence in such).

The truth bomb:


Quote
So let me get this straight. It takes between 21 to 35 days for a Russian oil tanker to get to US ports to be offloaded.
It takes between 35 and 60 days for a tanker from the Middle East to make the same trek.
It takes about 10 hours to load the tanker and up to 24 hours to unload. If it has to wait in port to get to an unloading dock, it can take up to 3 days.
The average tanker burns 2,625 gallons of diesel fuel per hour. 22.38 pounds of CO2 are created from burning 1 gallon of diesel fuel.
So, in one hour, a  tanker ship hauling oil to a refinery in the US creates 58,757.5 pounds of CO2 per hour. Averaging the travel time of the tankers, that's 27.67 million tons of CO2 per trip.
In comparison, your car creates between 6 and 9 tons per year.
Without going into all the equations of how many tankers come to the US per year, let alone our exports, will someone please explain to me how drilling our own oil and moving it through pipelines, along with importing oil from Canada via pipeline will not be more environmentally "green" for the world.
Please explain to me why buying oil from another country is good for the environment??
Or better yet how buying oil from another country is better than pumping our own oil??
There’s nothing green about this other than these elites are lining their pockets with green.

On day one of his administration, Biden shut down the Keystone XL Pipline in the US that was transferring oil from Canada to the refineries,  and on the very same day, lifted the sanctions against Russia's Nordstream II Pilipeline that were put in place to prevent them from being able to attack Ukraine.

I have tried... I have given it a lot of thought... and I can't think of a single thing I would do, if I were an evil villain aiming to destroy the western economy, that has jot already been done better by the Biden administration. This CANNOT be simple dementia riddled incompetence... this is a well crafted, genius plan to destroy us.

you don't make any sense, sorry.
Biden got ruskies under 1000X more sanctions than puny sanctions-lite on Nordstream II.
Also, how the sanction on one pipe were preventing them from attacking Ukraine?
That does not compute at all and these two things have nothing to do with each other.

Prior to Nordstream II there was only one pipeline from Russia into the UK, and it ran directly through Ukraine. If Russia attacked UKraine before Nordstream II was at least 99% complete, all it would take is one explosion in UKraine to cripple the Russian economy.
By lifting the sanctions, Biden allowed Nordstream II to be completed just before the troops moved into Ukraine. Sanctions after the fact? Who gives a fuck? As soon as the mission is complete, the oil flows freely.

If it's beneficial (by any convoluted means) to shut down Keystone & cancel all oil drilling leases on federal land, how is it simultaneously beneficial to give Russia the green light on Nordstream?
And that can be reversed as well... if Nordstream is beneficial, how is it simultaneously beneficial to shut down the US status as the world's biggest exporter of oil & natural gas?

It is NOT even the oil pipeline, dude, but a gas one and it is SHUT down, kaput.
So what that it was completed? Nobody ever used it.

The truth bomb:

So let me get this straight. It takes between 21 to 35 days for a Russian oil tanker to get to US ports to be offloaded.
It takes between 35 and 60 days for a tanker from the Middle East to make the same trek.
It takes about 10 hours to load the tanker and up to 24 hours to unload. If it has to wait in port to get to an unloading dock, it can take up to 3 days.
The average tanker burns 2,625 gallons of diesel fuel per hour. 22.38 pounds of CO2 are created from burning 1 gallon of diesel fuel.
So, in one hour, a  tanker ship hauling oil to a refinery in the US creates 58,757.5 pounds of CO2 per hour. Averaging the travel time of the tankers, that's 27.67 million tons of CO2 per trip.
In comparison, your car creates between 6 and 9 tons per year.
Without going into all the equations of how many tankers come to the US per year, let alone our exports, will someone please explain to me how drilling our own oil and moving it through pipelines, along with importing oil from Canada via pipeline will not be more environmentally "green" for the world.
Please explain to me why buying oil from another country is good for the environment??
Or better yet how buying oil from another country is better than pumping our own oil??
There’s nothing green about this other than these elites are lining their pockets with green.

On day one of his administration, Biden shut down the Keystone XL Pipline in the US that was transferring oil from Canada to the refineries,  and on the very same day, lifted the sanctions against Russia's Nordstream II Pilipeline that were put in place to prevent them from being able to attack Ukraine.

I have tried... I have given it a lot of thought... and I can't think of a single thing I would do, if I were an evil villain aiming to destroy the western economy, that has jot already been done better by the Biden administration. This CANNOT be simple dementia riddled incompetence... this is a well crafted, genius plan to destroy us.



you don't make any sense, sorry.
Biden got ruskies under 1000X more sanctions than puny sanctions-lite on Nordstream II.
Also, how the sanction on one pipe were preventing them from attacking Ukraine?
That does not compute at all and these two things have nothing to do with each other.

You argue semantics and ignore the overall point? Really?
So if the pipeline in Ukraine is damaged and must be shut down due to the Russain seige, Nordstream is now compled and only waiting for regulatory approval to be fully operational. And you honestly believe that if the UK is cut off from Russian gas that regulatory hurdle will not instantly vanish?

Point is, the Biden administration gave the greenlight for Russia to invade. Then used the event to return NATO to a position of relevancy they haven't had for decades! And outside of that, the question remains... why is Nordstream given the OK at the same time that Keystone and American oil production shut down? Trumps fault? Nazis & White Supremacy? Or is it in the interest if LGBTQ+ to pay $7.29 per gallon??? There are far too many lies being used to divide us and calm rational thought is needed if we're to see a way through this... try steel man instead of straw man even if only with yourself. It's important to see the cold rationale behind all this nonsense!
