Lee-Ann passed in July and here we are in September and these insurance companies are shirking their responsibilities! Unacceptable! Makes you wonder why we all pay these premiums, are they really there when you need them?

@dwaine_van There’s a big difference between citizenship (passport) and residency (right to live) some of which result in passport. Also there are a number of investments to avoid, Portuguese flats surrounded by 4000 Chinese as an example. Happy to talk if it helps & based in Cape Town.

So #bitcoin is up 70% from its recent crash low of $5,900. It had dropped 75% and was “dead” two weeks ago. It’s a volatile instrument but is it a bubble or a network being adopted, with the price just a byproduct? $BTCUSD

@fluffypony @jeanette_crypto @rubberroad @joezabb With common reporting standards avoiding tax in one jurisdiction means you could be prosecuted and extradited if that doesn’t happen you may be unable to open bank accounts, buy a home or get citizenship elsewhere. Why go rouge when there are options to do the same legally?
