Politicians prioritize their rivalries and personal interests above all.
In countries without much legal certainty, a second passport is key to bitcoiners.
Since Donald Trump returned to the presidency of the United States, Bitcoin (BTC) has won more and more prominence in public conversation. The entrepreneur has been able to earn the favor of many BTC enthusiasts thanks to his turn to a more proactive position, but this approach also arouses questions about long -term sustainability of the relationship between the asset and the State.
It is true that Trump fulfilled several of his campaign promises: he pardon Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road – counted by justice as if it were a serial murderer – and took measures to stop state control and state surveillance initiatives, such as the prohibition of CBDC (Central Bank digital currencies), among other provisions. However, There are three aspects that bitcoiners cannot lose sight of.
The first aspect is always necessary – and often forgotten – invitation not to abandon critical judgment, something that I have already underlined in previous articles. We cannot assume that officials are really guided by the idea of serving others, leaving their interests in the background.
It is important to recognize how positive it may arise from politics, but without losing sight of the fact that they must respond to citizens, never the other way around.
The second point is that, Within the framework of representative universal democracy, all governments have expiration date. Neither Trump nor any other administration will be in power forever, and everything positive that they can drive runs the risk of being reversed by their political adversaries, especially in a context as polarized as the current one. Incredible that it seems, sometimes this is usually forgotten.
Therefore, both companies and users who, under a certain administration, trusted the state apparatus to operate with BTC and cryptocurrencies, could easily become a target of the State in the future. Politicians come and go, but institutions remain and are not exempt from being corrupted.
In this scenario, it is worth asking: what real guarantees do I have, as a citizen, to declare my holdings in Bitcoin or use them for legitimate activities – such as investing taxes, acquiring properties or financing a venture – will not be used against me in the future? Who assures me that a later administration will not take those same data to pursue me or label me as a criminal? It is a dilemma that must undergo discussion.
It is not about promoting absolute isolation between cryptocurrencies and traditional financesnor to dynamite existing bridges, but to act with criteria. You have to select with care where and how to interact with the Fíat system, understanding that it must be the user who takes the system what is useful.
This leads us to the third of the points we had been discussing. No one can predict the future, but it is possible to act with caution and prepare in front of the repressive state apparatus. In the world that concerns us today, having a second passport can represent a practical solution to many of these risks.
For bitcoiners, especially those with high assets, Obtaining a second nationality can offer significant advantages in terms of freedom, mobility and protection against political changes. In the event that a government decides to harden regulations on the use of cryptocurrencies or advance with more aggressive fiscal policies, having another citizenship provides the possibility of relocating and diversifying risks.
In addition, a second citizenship can open the door to greater facilities for the opening of companies or bank accounts in jurisdictions that are not only more receptive to the ecosystem, but also have clear and predictable legal frameworks. For those who handle great savings in Bitcoin, this can make a substantial difference when protecting and managing their assets.
It is true that some may never need an additional passport. However, in a world as convulsive as the current one, marked by wars, political systems that have already become a business and coins that do not stop losing value, it is impossible to know with certainty. In certain cases, having that alternative could even mean the difference between life and death.
It is enough to observe what happened in countries such as Venezuela or Ukraine, where millions of people were forced to leave their homes in search of economic security or stability. In these cases, those who had another nationality were able to emigrate more quickly and reconstruct their lives in better conditions. Many of these people They are middle -class bitcoiners who work in the sector and today send remittances to their families in cryptocurrencies.
A concrete alternative to access a second passport are the “citizenship for investment«, available in several countries in exchange for a substantial economic contribution. These options usually include the purchase of sovereign bonds, real estate investments or donations to government funds.
Although costs may vary and are generally available to people with high purchasing power, This type of investment can be seen more as a strategic play than as a simple expense.
The relationship between Bitcoin and the State will continue to be, by nature, tense and changing. Therefore, beyond the enthusiasm that certain politicians can generate, it is essential that Bitcoiners act with long -term vision, always maintaining a critical and strategic attitude.
The future does not delegate or give away: it is built day by day with informed decisions, adequate tools and, above all, with the conviction that Financial freedom begins to assume responsibility for protecting it.
