The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

Today, I want to introduce a new segment in the show, one that my team and I have been talking about internally for a while. It will be known for now as “Expat News.” The idea is that every quarter or so, as I’m reading the news or going through government websites and I see changes to immigration and programs and things that affect the offshore and expat space, I’ll do one of these episodes breaking it all down.  So enjoy this premier edition of Expat News, where we’ll discuss a number of stories from the wave of migration from Canada to the popularity of Panama’s investment visa to El Salvador’s interesting - and pricey - citizenship program. Enjoy!   LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! This episode was a little bit of an experiment, so I really would appreciate all of your feedback. Would you like to see more “Expat News” segments in the future?

Seth for Privacy is a freedom maximalist and privacy advocate. He is the head of strategy and content for “Foundation Devices,” which builds Bitcoin-centric tools that empower you to reclaim your freedom. He also serves as the editor for Freedom Tech, a global hub championing Bitcoin builders, open-source developers, educators and privacy tech pioneers.  Seth and I have a great discussion about the various freedom technologies available to increase your privacy. Enjoy!   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH SETH FOR PRIVACY Listen in to find out how Seth first took an interest in privacy issues while working for a cybersecurity firm when he realized the technology he was working on could be used to oppress humans. Hear how Seth started writing and podcasting about freedom issues in order to right some of the wrongs he had contributed to in his career.   Learn why Seth believes that free and open-source privacy tools are vital in protecting one’s privacy from both government and corporate spying.  Find out why Seth believes Bitcoin to be a core technology when it comes to privacy and security but why Bitcoin alone is not enough.  Hear Seth and I discuss the importance of self-custody when it comes to Bitcoin to fully utilize it as “Freedom Money.” Listen to Seth unveil some of the easiest “levers” people can enact right away to increase their own privacy. Learn why Seth is opposed to “privacy maximalism.” Just as I say, there is no “Shangri-La” perfect country out there; the same holds true for privacy technology. Find out what Seth thinks of the popular privacy-centric messaging apps like Telegram, Signal and Simplex - are some better than others? Hear Seth explain the importance of an “always-on” VPN - a simple tool that, while sometimes creating a minor inconvenience on some websites, presents a huge privacy upgrade. Seth and I discuss our philosophy on how to decide when trade-offs in privacy are worth the gain in productivity or security.   RELATED EPISODES 241: How to Secure Your Online Identity - Josh Summers 223: Fortifying Your Digital Fortress: Top Privacy and Security Tips For Expats 162: How Privacy Can Protect You If They Come For You - Gabriel Custodiet   HOW TO FIND SETH FOR PRIVACY Email: seth@foundationdevices.com Seth For Privacy on X   SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER Start next year off right by ensuring you receive the EMS Pulse newsletter and the weekly Expat Sunday Times!

Just as there is no “Shangri-La” perfect libertarian country out there, similarly, there is no perfect technology. Ultimately, the decisions you make in regard to how much privacy you are willing to give up in order to make your life or work more convenient.  I have to make these decisions every day in my business, and the answers will look different for everyone. Hopefully, today’s discussion with Seth will continue to broaden your knowledge of the types of technologies available - and the rest is up to you!

This is the second part of the presentation I put together with my friend Fernando about the incredible, under-the-radar opportunities for real estate investment in Paraguay. I met Fernando when I travelled to Paraguay last year to explore the country, and we became not only fast friends but also business partners. I was thrilled to have him come on and share everything he has learned living and investing in Paraguay. We also took some questions from webinar attendees as we recorded it live. If you missed last week’s episode, be sure to go back and listen to that one first so you’re all caught up. Enjoy!   TODAY’S PANEL ON BUILDING WEALTH IN PARAGUAY’S REAL ESTATE BOOM Learn how the last decade of infrastructure development translates to investors entering an area that is proven, tested, and primed for growth. Find out how the opportunities available in Paraguay represent an economic “perfect storm” with huge potential for both cash returns and capital appreciation. This is exactly what I look for in my investments.  Hear the details of how Fernando’s team at Green Parana handles all of the little details so that the whole process is turnkey for my investors. Gain a detailed understanding of the strategies for renting these units - short or long-term, furnished or unfurnished - it’s all up to you! Get the inside scoop on the different types of apartments available and the discounts I was able to secure on these units. You will seriously be floored when you hear these prices! Find out why I am only looking at this opportunity as an investment, not as a launching pad for moving to Paraguay as an expat, which is really a separate conversation.  You are not going to believe the “cherry on top,” as we refer to it, that will be included with these rentals for my investors - this is not something you normally get when you invest in a rental property!  Finally, Fernando and I take questions from our live attendees and put to rest any remaining doubts you might have about Paraguay’s coming real estate boom.   SECURE YOUR PARAGUAY PROPERTY TODAY!

I never recommend investments that I am not making myself, and I’ve got a number of these units in my portfolio already.  But as you heard in the presentation, the units I was able to secure for my investors are limited and are already going fast, so be sure to reach out to Fernando ASAP by emailing ExpatMoney@GreenParana.com for more information. My private clients will move to the front of the line, and in fact, I may not even leave this podcast up for long, so don’t hesitate to act!Mentioned in this episode:Gold in the Caribbean—No Bank Can Touch ItFiat is failing.

This is a replay of a webinar I hosted about the incredible investment opportunities in Paraguay I uncovered on my recent trip to that off-the-radar South American country. I invited my friend Fernando to explain why Paraguay’s real estate market is such an exciting prospect in 2024 and how you can capitalize on those opportunities now before the rest of the world catches up. Enjoy!   TODAY’S PRESENTATION ON PARAGUAY’S REAL ESTATE BOOM Tune in to meet Fernando; he and I became fast friends when we met up in Paraguay and are now working together to educate expats about Paraguay’s burgeoning real estate market.  Hear Fernando describe Paraguay as a conservative culture with liberal economic policies - the sort that many of my clients are looking for as expats. Fernando breaks down the recent change in Paraguay’s government and why the current president shows a lot of promise in regard to staying out of the economy. Learn why Paraguay has such a positive and mutually beneficial relationship with its largest neighbour, Brazil, another country I’m a huge fan of.  Hear Fernando expertly break down the current housing “problem” in Paraguay - a problem that is music to the ears of investors looking to capitalize on a real estate market that’s ready to explode.  Water, water, everywhere! If you love water, Paraguay is the place for you, as there are luscious rivers and waterfalls nearly everywhere you look.  Marvel at Paraguay’s incredible energy sector - one that has seen no rise in energy prices in over eight years! Be sure to stay tuned in to the end, where Fernando will unveil the great discount I was able to negotiate for my subscribers on his units, along with all the details you need to know. This is a discount you won’t be able to get anywhere else!   SECURE YOUR PARAGUAY PROPERTY TODAY!

This is a country that is still off-the-radar enough that you can still get some great deals - especially if you go through Fernando.  But the low prices won’t last forever as more savvy offshore investors discover the opportunities in Paraguay, so be sure to reach out to us at ExpatMoney@GreenParana.com for more information.

It has not been a great couple of weeks here for myself and my family, but I want to share this story with you because I think there is an excellent opportunity to impart some lessons, not only about the excellent healthcare system here in Panama but also about living overseas overall.  You’ll hear it in my voice that I’m still not entirely back to 100%, but I wanted to get this one out while everything was fresh on my mind. I hope you find value in my experience and can use it to better prepare for your own expat future.    EXPAT HEALTH INSURANCE If one thing should be clear from my story today, it is that it is absolutely essential to plan for the worst-case scenario when you are living abroad or travelling.

Even as I write this, I am still not back to 100%, but I really wanted to share this with you to drive home how important it is to have access to affordable health care, no matter where you are in the world.  Aside from that, my experience really demonstrates the value of a support network. I am so grateful to have been surrounded by family, hired help, and friends in the community who I could count on while I was out of commission.  We can never prepare for every possible scenario, but we can take actionable steps to put ourselves and our families in the best possible position to cope with the unexpected when it inevitably strikes.

I am thrilled to welcome back Dr. Ron Paul. Dr. Paul is a former U.S. Congressman, ran for President three times, and is an accomplished author and speaker.  Dr. Paul always has valuable insights to share from his perspective, both as an Austrian economist and a former U.S. politician and with everything going on in the world, I wanted to invite him back to get his perspective on the trends going into 2024, including the march toward a possible World War 3.     TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH DR. RON PAUL Listen in to Dr. Paul’s perspective on why Austrian economics can predict trends but not specifics. This is an important distinction!  Does Dr. Paul believe we will see a new world reserve currency? Dr. Paul breaks down why the end of the dollar is inevitable but not necessarily imminent Find out how Dr. Paul views the current escalations in tensions with China. Will this lead to a hot war in Asia?  Could there be a reinstatement of the draft in the United States? Dr. Paul and I discuss the possibility that many U.S. clients of mine have expressed concerns about. Hear Dr. Paul’s opinion on where in the world would be a safe place to go if a World War III scenario were to play out. You won’t want to miss Ron’s epic rant about why the real isolationists are the governments and politicians causing wars and interfering in the economy. Dr. Paul really got fired up here! Finally, you’ll get Ron Paul’s predictions for 2024. How does he see the U.S. election playing out? What will unfold in regard to the march towards World War 3? And where does he find hope?   WHERE TO FIND DR.

But what I also love about him is his ability to see beyond the theoretical and apply the ideas of Austrian economics and human action to the current real-world scenarios we see playing out.  While we can’t predict the specifics, the trends are clear, and the doors to many countries will likely be closing, especially if a world war scenario plays out. This is why I always encourage everyone to act now when it comes to crafting your Plan B scenario.  I hope you enjoyed hearing Dr. Paul’s perspective as much as I always do.

I invited Laszlo back to the show to discuss the various new immigration programs that have recently come out of his home country of Hungary. Who better than a Hungarian to help break it all down? Today’s guest is Laszlo Kiss, who is making his return to the Expat Money Show after first appearing way back on episode 99. He has more than 30 years of experience in the offshore space since his first citizenship sale in 1997. Laszlo is a personal friend of mine and has been a mentor to me for a number of years.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH LASZLO KISS Listen to hear why, despite conducting his business in the expat world, Laszlo has decided to remain in his home country of Hungary.  Find out how the interesting influx into Hungary of students from both Iran and Israel are getting along together. Hear why Hungary has had to become more strict in recent years when it comes to its immigration policies. Learn the details of the different investment options available to pursue Hungarian residency. Listen to Laszlo and I break down the important distinction between having a residency in Europe vs. citizenship in regards to which countries you can actually live in.  Hear the fascinating story about the Hungarian man who acquired five different citizenships - without even leaving his village! What’s it like living next door to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine? Laszlo delivers his account from the ground. Listen to Laszlo’s first-hand breakdown of everything you need to know about life in Hungary, from safety to health care to cost of living and, of course, the food (always important to me!)   RELATED EPISODES 266: Is Georgia A Good Plan B Location For Expats? 264: How To Get A Backup Citizenship Or Residency 099: Best European Passports For Sale – Laszlo Kiss   HOW TO FIND LASZLO KISS Email: expat@discusholdings.com Website: https://www.discusholdings.com/   CONCLUSION I have known Lazslo for many years, and I always have a blast talking to him. Hungary is a country many don’t often think about when it comes to an expat Plan B, but it certainly has a number of interesting advantages worth exploring.  As always, I try to provide as complete a picture as possible when breaking down a country, and there is quite literally no better expert in the world when it comes to gaining residency and citizenship in Hungary than Laszlo Kiss.

Alex Ugorji is an entrepreneur and educator interested in prosperity zones, breakaway civilizations, and disruptive technologies. He started the Crypto Frontier, an intentional crypto community in Saipan, and co-founded a blockchain software company RaiPay. He is also the co-founder of Nakamoto Financial, a consulting and financial technology company. After realizing that his dreams of disruption could not be realized in the United States, he moved to Ciudad Morazán in Honduras to become one of the first-ever residents of this free private city, where he currently works as a consultant, community manager, and fellow Free Cities Ambassador.   TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH ALEX UGORJI Listen in to Alex’s backstory of how his interest in cryptocurrencies and the ‘frontier of money” led him to first to Saipan and now to Ciudad Morazán in Honduras. Discover what it was like to live in the remote U.S. Pacific territory of Saipan and why Alex believes it to be the “freest place in America” and “America’s hidden gem.” Find out how the U.S. government’s increasing interest in cryptocurrency saw the Crypto Frontier projects ultimately getting shelved in Saipan. Learn about the unique law passed in Honduras that has allowed for three distinct “free private cities” to develop, including Ciudad Morazán, where Alex lives.  Hear why Alex chose to live in Ciudad Morazán, which is more catered towards locals, over Prospera, which more caters more to foreigners and expats.  Discover how Alex helped build a crypto ecosystem for payments which allows anyone who lives in Ciudad Morazán, aka “Bootstrap City,” to live entirely on crypto. You’ll be floored when you hear how simple and easy it was to open a gym in Ciudad Morazán with so many needless rules and regulations stripped away. Learn about the friendly competition between the two very differently structured ZEDEs of Prospera and Ciudad Morazán. Get the latest updates on the issues the ZEDEs have had with the Marxist Honduran government and how it will affect these projects down the road.  Find out what it’s really like to live inside a private city on a day-to-day basis from someone who literally has boots on the ground.   SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER Start next year off right by ensuring you receive the EMS Pulse newsletter and the weekly Expat Sunday Times!

Ciudad Morazán and the prospects of future cities like it present a huge potential opportunity for expats to begin a new life under a totally different model of private governance. This is a huge reason why I am a Free Cities ambassador along with Alex.  I hope you enjoyed this conversation as much as I did.
