I just read this article. The timing is interesting:
The government of El Salvador has announced a new program offering free passports and full citizenship to 5,000 highly skilled individuals from around the world. The announcement comes just months after El Salvador introduced its “Freedom Passport” program, which allows foreigners to secure residency and citizenship with a $1 million investment.
From The Freedom Passport web site:
As the trailblazer in adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, El Salvador offers unparalleled advantages for enthusiasts of the cryptocurrency and forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Enjoy the freedom of using Bitcoin effortlessly, complemented by tax laws that support your ventures.
Perhaps there are entrepreneurs and developers currently set up in a large, powerful country to the north who would consider relocating.
El Salvador is not perfect, but no place is. I sometimes visit a website called The Nomad Capitalist. Their slogan is "GO WHERE YOU’RE TREATED BEST".
I occasionally watch his videos, he's okay-- just talks a lot.

Thanks for sharing siggy, at least they do something to contribute to Bitcoin, I'm not particularly excited that governments are the ones that have to promote bitcoin, but I see everything that helps the ecosystem as a good thing.

Passports are shitcoins. Are a license to travel, nothing else.
If you as a free man have the right to travel, why do you need a license ? These "free passports" only want ONE THING: your consent to be their shitizens, aka their slave, you are literally giving your consent to obey them by accepting that passport.
