 Hi everyone So my name is Luis and I previously co-founded argon, which is the largest platform for decentralized autonomous organization hot in these communities govern more than 20 billion dollars in other standard management and The first time I came through Through Bitcoin, I thought oh we have sobering money then I went down to co-found argon And then we have sobering organizations and now I am working on the next step Which is kind of like sobering individuals and so allowing everyone to be a sobering individual So I'm gonna talk about sobering tea through citizenship and basically why you should add a passport or see a passport as part of your sobering to stack So basically what we're doing at base flow the company that I'm working on now is we are creating the smoothest way to get a second passport and So I'm gonna come into in a minute in how and which countries welcome people like like you that are talented And and I want to be part of this for looking countries But let's go into a bit of the perks of having these multiple passwords. So first of all You have access to your opportunities. You can leave new places. You can go to conferences like this one You can you know go to the Caribbean for some tourism and leisure And also family reunification which has been quite important in COVID times because I mean there were so many drama Dramatic stories of people just getting separated because of different passwords and sonalities Families were broken relationships that might have happened never happened All because of passports and and not having enough of them There are multiple risks of having just one passport and so one of them is loss of mobility We don't think about this often for example I'm a Spaniard and now the Spanish passport is great But we don't know 20 years from now or 10 years from now these things do change back in the day people from Spain We're going to Venezuela to work And to Argentina because there was prosperous prosperous countries now It's exactly the opposite in only like a few decades. So these things do change then you have exit taxes So some countries trade you like cattle and when you want to leave well, you gotta pay a price So that's also a big problem. You have military mobilization, which I included here because I Know firsthand having some Ukrainian family that it happens and so some some friends of some of my family We're only not, you know, living in bunkers for some time, but also had to suddenly, you know Go to war and and it happens these things do happen And do the things worldwide taxation which I'll go into into it a little bit But yeah, again some countries treating citizenships like cattle instead of customers So basically like you don't want to have all your eggs in the same basket Especially if you are into crypto if you're into sobering money if you're into sobering tea We are all quite paranoid. We want to live for our life. We don't want anyone to disturb us We want to do our thing have our ventures our family, you know, build your wealth over time and the truth is right now the changes in macro policy can make this quite challenging and And Basically, you can actually rank passports So you can think of this as the coin market cap or coin Gecko off of passports And so this is based on like mobility So how many counters you can travel to Political stability of the country obviously no worldwide taxation. That's where the US passport is not as great as it might seem to some And it was a family or children rights. Can you can your children actually inherit this passport? So to say So for example, what do the US and Eritrea have in common while the different countries? Well, these two countries do the taxi worldwide So even if you go to I you know the UK and have a different London regime in which you can pay less taxes during 1015 years You know, they don't care. You're gonna still pay taxes to the US And and that's quite mind-blowing. But again, it does happen. The US is quite an important country in the world So who tells us that tomorrow where I'm not gonna have other countries follow suit and I start doing the same So basically if you want to acquire new citizenship If you already as I say the platform is quite hard So basically what I'm trying to say is if you're a stateless you cannot, you know, it's quite kind of hard to get a new citizenship But if you have a citizenship of a country today, it's still quite hard because it's a very bureaucratic process Really bureaucratic process here's like a form Well, not a form but like a list of forms that you need to fill and with PDFs and emails and what's up And then these documents get leaked on the internet because of like some not very like maybe best security practices And then your home address gets leaked on the internet again, and then you have to move homes you know these things do happen and also renouncing citizenship is quite cumbersome as well and sometimes it does incur in exit taxes this again in they have this in the US and Also other countries like European countries and it's becoming more and more generalized that you have to pay exit taxes Sometimes you even have to sell everything you have To realize the gains pay taxes and then you figure out what to do with your assets later, but it's quite dramatic So let's talk about citizenship versus residency. So if you're a passport freak like me, I mean that Swiss passport is a sexy passport You just look at it. It's so beautiful And I hope that we can have many passports more like this that pop up of countries that are appearing here today And you know the governance rights so you can vote they give you mobility if you are resident You might have some mobility, but if you have a passport then you can use access country. It's a free all over the world The usually residency is easy to revoke maybe on basis of employment or marriage or whatever Citizenship is quite hard to revoke and obviously family rights So you that usually don't pass down or to your family like residency, but it is the case usually with citizenship What interesting thing here is the new models of citizenship So you can think of citizenship in the old world and in the new world and so basically There's like by blood and so basically that means, you know If your parents had a passport then you probably have a passport or beth right So basically you were born in a country you get a passport the latter is much more common in in the new world And so you can think about the US, Canada And so forth that will come a lot of migrants and then basically like that That was a way of welcoming migrants as compared to like you only have a a passport if you are like, you know At the extent of someone else to have a passport The interesting thing is these new models that have popped up the last new decades and that is the citizens and by investment So there are countries Like you know countries that are already kind of like recognized and well-known and some of them are in quite nice places like the Caribbean which is you know, as we've explored today beautiful beautiful waters crystalline waters Reconnected to the US and so forth and so they welcome for an investors that want to be part of our citizen base So for a hundred K you can basically Getting to get a good to be a citizen of these countries 125 K you can start including your family and this again is something that you passed down So it's you can think about it as something that like, you know So kind of like generational wealth that you passed down to your family And I think this is very important because in the sovereignty stack as I was talking before there is sovereign money So that's cryptocurrencies. There are citizenships so you can hedge your bets and kind of like be above these nation states There's companies which you can have in different places in the world And then there is also residency So ideally you want to have all of these in different places all across the globe Right now this might seem that it can only apply to a very small percentage of the population But I do believe that we're getting to a direction in which you know a few years maybe decades from now Everyone just will look at this as they're kind of like citizenship stack And so maybe when you are 18 years old, you are starting to pick like, you know Not only what you want to study and work on or maybe you don't want to study You want to drop out or and like join this new kind of like ways of education But then you also might pick your country or countries even and like where do you have your company? And where do you have your residency and which passport are you gonna pass down to your children and so forth and so on? And this is very liberating because we are switching from like being cattle controlled by you know some governments here and there to being something else that is like a little bit above Above those and going where you are treated best and inviting these governments to actually treat you really well And believe me some governments do want to treat people It's actually people like us here that are like talented very well, and they are willing to the show We seem to work with them So that's to create new cities and sometimes to use move to to these countries or even create new states within these countries as we've seen today So basically I would invite you all to think of passports as a mobility platform So it's not only something that is like an onion piece of paper that you like carry around And and sometimes it's beautiful like the Swiss one but also some mobility platform it does enable you to do things you wouldn't be able to do otherwise and We sometimes again think that nothing is gonna change Because we think about our country and the fact that it's gonna be great for the last 10 years to any but macro has changed very quickly right now So it's really good to be prepared So at best for where streamline in this process We are in bite only right now, but if you scan this code it will take you to a page that we built for this conference, and we'll try to basically just like Jammed you through through some of the queue and and get early access the The last thing I was in Amsterdam for our work conference was actually 10 years ago And he was called the Bitcoin conference, and I remember Brian Armstrong was giving out coin best flyers And I will say the bife here today reminds me so much of that conference in 2013 And so I think 10 years from now we're gonna look back at this and be like wow that ignited the movement So thank you so much
