'Bitcoin Jesus' Calls Rich to Tax-Free Tropical Paradise
So if you buy property in St. Kitts for $400K or give a non-refundable $250K donation to the country, you can obtain a passport that allows you to evade taxes and visa-free travel to 120 countries.
Dan Bilzerian's father, Paul Bilzerian moved to St. Kitts after long battles with the SEC and two stints in prison for securities fraud and conspiracy to defraud the government of millions.
He and Bitcoin Jesus started http://www.passportsforbitcoin.com in April.
Dan Bilzerian also has one of these passports.
How long before Micon renounces his U.S. citizenship and moves to St. Kitts?
I've been to St. Kitts. Actually had my biggest NL tournament win there ($87k) in 2005.
I remember when I was there, I heard about that whole thing where you could get citizenship there for either investing in the country or paying $250k.
i recently saw an infographic on countries where you can effectively buy citizenship, there are quite a few actually in the upper 5digit to low 6 digit USD price range.
not entirely surprising; a good percentage of them are going to be underwater soon. genuinely curious to see how that gets dealt with on the international stage; being a citizen of a country that got swallowed by the ocean.

I know Dubai will expedite you a shiny new passport if you have skills or some cake to fill their banks with. Amazed on your Pacific tour that no shady gov types didn't flat out offer you some kind of deal to stay indefinitely.
oddly enough you can do the same thing in the US, invest $500k in a business that employees 10 or more people and that green card is yours.
What the fuck...
"If you've previously paid for goods with Bitcoin or other digital currency in California, you're technically a criminal -- the state has long had a law requiring US dollars, even if it hasn't been enforced. As of this weekend, though, you're officially in the clear. Governor Jerry Brown has signed a bill that legitimizes payments with Bitcoin, other forms of virtual money, community currencies and reward systems like coupons and points. As state assembly member Roger Dickinson explained when fighting for the measure, modern commerce has "expanded" beyond cash and credit; to him, it only makes sense that the law keeps up with the times.
This isn't the same as federal approval, so you won't be paying taxes with cryptocurrency in the near future. All the same, it's a rare instance of explicit approval for digital cash in the US; normally, it exists in a gray area. There's no certainty that California's move will get the feds (or anyone else) to change their minds, but it at least means that you can feel guilt-free when shopping with virtual money in the Golden State."
...uhhhhh... given that there is a non-zero chance that california is literally going to split into 4 states, this is a strange direction to be moving in.

But if the Fed had stated that the IRS sees Bitcoin as property and not currency, could the argument not be made that the Bitcoin user was in fact engaging in Barter and not a purchase?
Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it 4dragons; that does not make sense.

You're right, it doesn't.
What does this have to do with throwing money changers out of the temple?
Whats the best way to withdraw btc from a wallet if you dont want it associated with your info? Like your bank acct?
The way the drug barons do it is they go to a cash-for-trade site, set a physical meet, and transfer the coins for cash on the spot.
If that seems sketchy, its because it is, but Ive actually never heard of it going badly.
Option B might be using a BTC ATM maybe?

Not being snide; how does one withdraw to a pre-paid credit card? Does that actually work?

Link your pre paid card to your BTC wallet. I use Netspend and Bluebird.
