So I have tried a few times to download the Coinbase app needed to sign up for the Coinbase debit card. Each time I get "This is not supported in your country".
I use a VPN to set my IP in the US so is it not supported in the US? Or is it somehow detecting that I'm really in Panama?
Also, I finally got around to filing my extortion papers for the IRS.
Getting married helped keep me from needing to pay any taxes.
Land of the free...where you have to file your taxes even if you haven't stepped foot in the country all year.
You could renounce your citizenship, but you may well be anticipating getting some income such as social security or maybe you are receiving some other pension, which makes it a BIGGER trade off to renounce.
I am not saying that I agree with world-wide income taxation, and surely there are trade-offs with any system whether we are referring to taxation or other matters of figuring out if you get benefits or will get benefits in the future. Sure, you likely subscribe to one of those libertarian views, and you have already admitted to it, and sure I have issues with libertarians trying to spin matters with out accounting for how to deal with various public goods, but you surely did not start your propounding of libertarian ideas in your teenage years, so you have some issues with your having had made too many USA connections in terms of either prior employment or your desires to return to the USA or to travel around the world with a USA passport causing you to be unwilling to renounce your citizenship.. because it will likely cost you more than what you are willing to admit to because you want to spin the taxation matter in one direction (sure we all have concerns about taxation how their spent and from whom they are collected).
To renounce my citizenship would require paying taxes on the total value of all of my bitcoin holdings as if I sold them the day I renounced. The thought of the amount of brown skinned people in far off lands who's skin will be burned off using my money does not sit well with me.
My thought is that the US will collapse in the next few years so it is not necessary to renounce my citizenship. US citizenship will cease to exist. Then I can just not sign onto the America 2 (the electric boogaloo) citizenship.
But not to worry. I filed this year so when you leave your house in the morning there will be roads.
I'm not sure but you could get dual citizenship..it would not help the taxes problem...but would maybe be an alternative if you are going to live overseas as far as the state
taxes and/or medical issues of the future being paid for...(not much but all that comes to mind)

I'm also not sure if you MARRY someone overseas and eventually get
their citizenship under that plan applies...but you probably would just have dual citizenship by default..it is not US citizenship just stops being so...
Probably, you can simply make a LLC or some such..put everyone under that and do the whole corporate tax shift that way..just have it pay you a certain amount each
year and just pay cap gains on that? is that how that works...? All I know for sure is a LOT of ex-military in the USA who have foreign brides get socialized medicine via
that route rather than the VA also cheaper to retire in the wife's home country too boot.....anyway, not like I'm gonna find a wife/country/etc that would accept my likes
anyway.....for what it is worth? Anyone with more clarification of the above feel free.
