CITIZENSHP BY INVESTMENT

CBI “Citizenship by Investment” programs are not a new concept rather been existing since 1984 by one of the Caribbean islands named St. Kitts & Nevis. CBI “Citizenship by Investment” program allows foreign investors and their families to obtain Alternate Citizenship and Passport(s) by Contributing to the economy of the host country.

To opt it there are several instruments such as contributions / donations in the countries approved national fund(s), investing in a Government approved real-estate option, or investing in a Government approved bond. As of today, over 100 countries in the world have some form of investment migration legislation in place, however, a few offers Citizenship by Investment (i.e., Antigua & Barbuda, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Malta, Montenegro, North Macedonia, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, Türkiye, Vanuatu etc.)

The lowest possible contribution / investment starts with a one-time non-refundable contribution of USD 100,000 plus other related fees in a Government approved fund of the concerned country. The minimum contribution / investment may vary depending on the country of citizenship and the family size.

BENEFITS OF CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT

In addition to letting you include your spouse, dependent (children, siblings, parents and grandparents) , these investment programs comes with multiple other benefits such as:

Global mobility allows passport holders to travel visa-free to over 145 countries and jurisdictions that include Hong Kong, Singapore, United Kingdom, and the Schengen Area (also Russia and China depending on the country offering Citizenship by Investment).

Citizenship by Investment programs are considered to be an Insurance policy or a Plan B for many individuals from underdeveloped countries, these programs help them avoid any political unrest and for the security of their loved ones and their investments. A second passport is the ultimate contingency plan against the risk of political or economic turbulence in one’s home country.

Holding a single Citizenship can curtail an individual’s ability to conduct business on a global scale, with dual nationality, individuals can enjoy Access to international business hubs, and it can assist them to grow their business on a global stage.

Most of the Caribbean countries offering Citizenship by Investment are home to the best United States offshore universities (Grenada for instance is home to St George’s University which is one of the finest medical, veterinary, and arts and sciences schools, and graduates train in some of the top hospitals in the United States and the United Kingdom and is internationally accredited). Having a Second Passport means Greater opportunities for better education for you, your spouse and or the kids.

Citizenship by Investment provides countless opportunities to extend your business in different jurisdictions, and it provides a better-quality life, with complete assets protection, access to healthcare services, luxury living locations, diversified culture, and much more.

Caribbean countries offering CBI programs are considered tax havens. There are ZERO taxes for inheritance, gifts, wealth, and no capital gains. There are also no taxes on income generated from earnings abroad. ​

Holding a single Citizenship limits you in diversifying your investment portfolio, opting for dual Citizenship enables you to invest in different jurisdictions, easily open a bank account, and ease of business.

Reddit, AKA the worst person you've ever had a group project with.

So, the moderation team of r/tooafraidtoask, and many others have been messaged by the reddit account u/modcodeofconduct, one of the accounts reddit inc use when they're too cowardly to attach their actual names to things they're saying, saying "hey, anyone want to scab?". Now the thing is, r/tooafraidtoask polled users and users said to close the sub back down. This was, by the mathematical principles of statistics almost certainly a representative sample size and 76% of them voted for blackout. Reddit called this representative sample a "small minority". Reddit lie, Reddit engage in bad faith interactions, Reddit stop responding once you raise any questions or good argument.

Their behaviour has been cowardly, deceitful and dishonourable, they have proven that no one in their communities can trust them. If you, by some miracle, are someone who is considering investing in Reddit you need to ask yourself this: if they are willing to lie, to squander all good will, to insult and threaten people to their face, all for some petty ego trip of the CEO, what might they be willing to do for their own profit? They've lied to us for their own advantage, how do you know they won't lie to you? How do you know they'll keep to what they promise you? How do you know no one on their team will cost you buckets of money on some ego trip?

Why don't you use your main account often?

I don't really have a point when I have twitter, which is just much better as a personal space and much more casual. Like, what am I really supposed to do with it aha, none of the people following that old account are there for my current interests or the person I am now.

Tumblr is stage, I don't mind posting my art, but I don't really enjoy using it as a casual space like sharing things I found, or making jokes, or posting thoughts. People aren't interested in me, I'm not interested when I already have other places, it's just a waste.

[its-queenofthesilence]

Anyone else migrate here from Reddit after their third party app stopped working on July 1st? Yes, I could install the official app but it sucks ball and kinda defeats the purpose.

I just feel lost? I didn't realize how addicted I was too it. I'm constantly going to open the app to only remember oh yeah.

I guess Tumblr will have to be my new fix.

Best Citizenship by Investment Countries in 2024

Citizenship by investment (CBI) programs let you explore unique opportunities opening doors to global mobility, security for your finances and freedom. In 2024, some of the best citizenship by investment programs offer appealing advantages for investors aiming to obtain a second citizenship.

Getting a second citizenship means that you will meet new opportunities for your business or have new options for studying and traveling. This global trend of internationalism and multiculturalism offers investors many chances in life, including opening international bank accounts, working abroad, and starting a new business.

In this guide, we will explore the best citizenship by investment (CBI) programs in 2024. You will get to examine citizenship through investment programs and learn about the criteria. You will also dig deeper into the investment options, processing times of the programs, and the benefits they offer.

What are the benefits of investment citizenship?

Global Mobility

Visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to a wide range of countries, including the EU and Schengen Zone, simplifying travel.

Tax Advantages

Potential for favorable tax regimes, with no capital gains, inheritance, or wealth tax in some countries.

Business Opportunities

Access to new markets, easier setup of international businesses, and enhanced global banking options.

Security and Stability

A second citizenship acts as a safety net during political or economic instability in the home country.

Family Inclusion

Citizenship can extend to immediate family members, offering them the same privileges.

No Residency Requirements

Many programs do not require physical residency in the country before or after obtaining citizenship.

What is Citizenship by Investment and How CBI Programs Work?

Citizenship itself is a concept that goes way back to ancient Greek towns and cities. There used to be citizenship for male property owners, and it was a privileged, not inclusive concept.

When it comes to today’s citizenship concept and citizenship by investment CBI program, it was St. Kitts and Nevis who first introduced the investment option in 1984. St. Kitts and Nevis set a precedent for other countries by including its 1984 Citizenship Act, one year after gaining its independence from the United Kingdom.

Sometimes, CBI programs can also be referred to as Golden Visa. However, Golden Visa programs are mostly residency by investment programs that aim to promote economic growth in a country through foreign direct investment. They are both similar programs in the end and offer various types of investment types. From real estate investments to charitable contributions, investors can choose among them. Citizenship by Investment programs is actually the process of getting a second citizenship and passport through investment in another country. So, what differentiates the CBI program is that investors are able to get citizenship status much faster than other traditional immigration processes and are able to use the benefits much earlier.

Tbh at this point you should just make your own webcomic app/website because it would probably be 100 times better than whatever going on with webtoon right now.

hahaha it wouldn't tho, sorry 💀

Here's the fundamental issue with webcomic platforms that a lot of people just don't realize (and why they're so difficult to run successfully):

Storage costs are incredibly expensive, it's why so many sites have limitations on file sizes / page sizes / etc. because all of those images and site info have to be stored somewhere, which costs $$$.

Maintenance costs are expensive and get more so as you grow, you need people who are capable of fixing bugs ASAP and managing the servers and site itself

Financially speaking, webcomics are in a state of high supply, low demand. Loads of artists are willing to create their passion projects, but getting people to read them and pay for them is a whole other issue. Demand is high in the general sense that once people get attached to a webtoon they'll demand more, but many people aren't actually willing to go looking for new stuff to read and depend more on what sites feed them (and what they already like). There are a lot of comics to go around and thus a lot of competition with a limited audience of people willing to actually pay for them.

Trying to build a new platform from the ground up is incredibly difficult and a majority of sites fail within their first year. Not only do you have to convince artists to take a chance on your platform, you have to convince readers to come. Readers won't come if there isn't work on the platform to read, but artists won't come if they don't think the site will be worth it due to low traffic numbers. This is why the artists with large followings who are willing to take chances on the smaller sites are crucial, but that's only if you can convince them to use the site in favor of (or alongside) whatever platform they're using already where the majority of their audience lies. For many creators it's just not worth the time, energy, or risk.

Even if you find short-term success, in the long-term there are always going to be profit margins to maintain. The more users you pull in, the more storage is used by incoming artists, the more you have to spend on storage and server maintenance costs, and that means either taking the risk at crowdfunding (ex. ComicFury) or having to resort to outsider investments (ex. Tapas). Look at SmackJeeves, it used to be a titan in the independent webcomic hosting community, until it folded over to a buyout by NHN and then was pretty much immediately shuttered due to NHN basically turning it into a manwha scanlation site and driving away its entire userbase. And if you don't get bought out and try your hand at crowdfunding, you may just wind up living on a lifeline that could cut out at any moment, like what happened to Inkblazers (fun fact, the death of Inkblazers was what kicked off the cultural shift in Tapas around 2015-16 when all of IB's users migrated over and brought their work with them which was more aimed towards the BL and romancee drama community, rather than the comedy / gag-a-day culture that Tapas had made itself known for... now you deadass can't tell Tapas apart from a lot of scanlation sites because it got bought out by Kakao and kept putting all of its eggs into the isekai/romance drama basket.)

Right now the mindset in which artists and readers are operating is that they're trying way, way too hard to find a "one size fits all" site. Readers want a place where they can find all their favorite webtoons without much effort, artists wants a place where they can post to an audience of thousands, and both sides want a community that will feel tight-knit. But the reality is that you can't really have all three of those things, not on one site. Something always winds up having to be sacrificed - if a site grows big enough, it'll have to start seeking more funding while also cutting costs which will result in features becoming paywall'd, intrusive ads, creators losing their freedom, and/or outsider support which often results in the platform losing its core identity and alienating its tight-knit community.

If I had to describe what I'm talking about in a "pick one" graphic, it would look something like this:

(*note: this is mostly based on my own observations from using all of these sites at some point or another, they're not necessarily entirely accurate to the statistical performance of each site, I can only glean so much from experience and traffic trackers LMAO that said I did ask some comic pals for input and they were very helpful in helping me adjust it with their own takes <3).

The homogenization of the Internet has really whipped people into submission for the "big sites" that offer "everything", but that's never been the Internet, it relies on being multi-faceted and offering different spaces for different purposes. And we're seeing that ideology falter through the enshittification of sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. where users are at odds with the platforms because the platforms are gutting features in an attempt to satisfy shareholders whom without the platforms would not exist. Like, most of us aren't paying money to use social media sites / comic platform sites, so where else are they gonna make the necessary funds to keep these sites running? Selling ad space and locking features behind paywalls.

And this is especially true for a lot of budding sites that don't have the audience to support them via crowdfunding but also don't have the leverage to ask for investments - so unless they get really REALLY lucky in EITHER of those departments, they're gonna be operating at a loss, and even once they do achieve either of those things there are gonna be issues in the site's longevity, whether it be dying from lack of growing crowdfunding support or dying from shareholder meddling.

So what can we do?

We can learn how to take our independence back. We don't have to stop using these big platforms altogether as they do have things to offer in their own way, particularly their large audience sizes and dipping into other demographics that might not be reachable from certain sites - but we gotta learn that no single site is going to satisfy every wish we have and we have to be willing to learn the skills necessary to running our own spaces again. Pick up HTML/CSS, get to know other people who know HTML/CSS if you can't grasp it (it's me, I can't grasp it LOL), be willing to take a chance on those "smaller sites" and don't write them off entirely as spaces that can be beneficial to you just because they don't have large numbers or because they don't offer rewards programs. And if you have a really polished piece of work in your hands, look into agencies and publishing houses that specialize in indie comics / graphic novels, don't settle for the first Originals contract that gets sent your way.

For the last decade corporations have been convincing us that our worth is tied to the eyes we can bring to them. Instead of serving ourselves, we've begun serving the big guys, insisting that it has to be worth something eventually and that it'll "payoff" simply by the virtue of gambler's fallacy. Ask yourself what site is right for you and your work rather than asking yourself if your work is good enough for them. Most of us are broke trying to make it work on these sites anyways, may as well be broke and fulfilled by posting in places that actually suit us and our work if we can. Don't define your success by what sites like Webtoons are enforcing - that definition only benefits them, not you.
