So if I don't trust Big Tech, I'm somehow supposed to trust groups of sketchy people who do things like give up their US citizenship (as an immigrant to the USA - the privilege is real) to move to {insert sketchy country or a known haven for certain activities - its legal there!} so they can now facilitate millions of dollars moving each day outside of any government jurisdiction.
- vmception 5y agoI mean, yeah. There is a privilege associated with that. The US is a great starting point, but you can outgrow it, especially when it comes to financial services if you aren't interested in the incumbents. People with money in stable economies aren't clamoring for US citizenship, some are interested in it but its just an option. The whole continent is populated by people that lost consensus wherever they came from. Like 99% of the population has a heritage that was either deemed an extremist in their "motherland" or were simply just outside of the cool kids club and had to fight for scraps, or avoiding the impending reality of both. The other 1% are basically the 1% financially and just here for play while retaining their options to do the same anywhere.

- elevenoh 5y agoYou seem to label group/people rather than evaluating ideas for what they are.
- Ekaros 5y agoUS citizenship is also one with most burden from having it. At least compared to many other stable ones. Yes, you can make great money there, but also the taxation is not done by vast majority of other citizenships. So getting rid of it for anything slightly worse makes lot of sense from individual stand point.
