I have spent many years living and working in countries other than the USA-- and while I found all of them had one advantage or another over the USA, the cultural differences were enough to make me come back to the USA.
Alas, at the way things are going with regulations, particularly in tech, and the increased... polarization and radicalization of politics here, I'm starting to think that it's time to leave again.
And here's the thing-- I bought a car on a 5 year note and it's not even paid off yet.
Pretty soon, any kind of innovative work in the crypto space (Eg: trust-less atomic swaps between blockchains for example) is effectively illegal, UNLESS you can raise $100M to hire enough lawyers to prove you never have custody of the coins.
Much cheaper to move to a friendly jurisdiction, raise the same $100M and put it into engineering salaries.
