Strategy
Relocation & Plan B
Crypto gains are taxed where you hold tax residency. A change of domicile can restructure that exposure entirely. But even if you don’t relocate today, a second passport or residency is your insurance policy, a Plan B for when the rules change.
Relocate Now
Move your tax domicile to a crypto-friendly jurisdiction today. Through a work visa, investor visa, digital nomad program, or corporate transfer, you shift your tax exposure immediately. Best for those with unrealized gains and a clear exit plan.
Plan B: Build Optionality
Secure a second passport or residency now, use it later. Tax regimes change, political situations shift, capital controls appear overnight. A Plan B means you always have a door you can walk through, without rushing.

The Changing World Order & Why Everyone Needs a Plan B
The post-1945 international order is fracturing. Trade wars, capital wars, asset freezes: patterns that historically escalate. The conventional advice is “sell debt, buy gold.” But in every major upheaval of the 20th century, people weren’t wiped out for holding the wrong assets. They were stuck in the wrong place.
The real risk
One jurisdiction, one single point of failure, everything gone. Roosevelt made gold ownership illegal in 1933. Capital controls appear overnight. Exit taxes are retroactive. The question isn’t only what you hold, it’s whether your position is poly-based enough that it becomes terribly hard to corner.
The playbook
→Second citizenship: a passport that no single government can revoke
→Assets across jurisdictions: banking, real estate, and corporate structures in structurally stable economies
→Bitcoin for portability under duress: the only asset class you can carry across borders in your head
→Secondary tax residencies: easy to activate, somewhere structurally safe, like the UAE or Singapore
Tax regime risk
Countries change crypto tax rules faster than any other asset class. Portugal went from 0% to 28% overnight. Italy from ambiguous to 33%. The UK halved its CGT allowance twice in two years. Having a second residency means you can restructure before the next change hits.
Capital controls
When governments need revenue, capital controls follow. Exit taxes, transaction reporting requirements, and banking restrictions can appear with little warning. A second jurisdiction gives you a legitimate pathway to move capital before restrictions apply.
Banking access
Crypto-friendly banking is not guaranteed anywhere. Accounts get frozen, banks debank crypto users, and correspondent banking relationships shift. A second residency in a crypto-friendly jurisdiction gives you backup banking infrastructure.
Geographic freedom
A second passport multiplies your visa-free travel, gives you the right to live and work in new jurisdictions, and removes single points of failure. For location-independent Bitcoiners, it’s the ultimate form of self-sovereignty.
