How Bitcoiners Get A Second Passport: El Salvador, Portugal & Anarchy | Katie The Russian

Katie "the Russian" shares her incredible journey from professional sailor in Siberia to Bitcoin entrepreneur and founder of Plan B Passport (recently acquired by CitizenX). In this deep conversation at Bitcoin 2025, we explore how Bitcoin's low time preference mindset transformed not just her business approach, but her entire life philosophy.

🔑 KEY TOPICS COVERED:
• How Plan B Passport got acquired by CitizenX and Katie's new role as CMO
• Why Bitcoin creates low time preference thinking that improves every area of life
• The cultural differences between Russia and America that shaped her worldview
• Why she believes in anarchism as "no rulers, not no rules"
• The top citizenship by investment programs for Bitcoiners:
- El Salvador: $1M donation for quick Bitcoin-native citizenship
- Portugal: €500K investment that lets you stack Bitcoin while gaining citizenship
- Antigua: $270K donation with full Bitcoin payment options
• How nation-states are now competing for Bitcoiners and their capital
• Practical advice for establishing Plan B options through ancestral ties and residency

Katie's story perfectly illustrates the Sovereign Individual thesis in action - how Bitcoin enables geographic arbitrage and forces governments to compete for citizens rather than simply extract from them.

Whether you're curious about second citizenship, inspired by entrepreneurial journeys, or interested in how Bitcoin philosophy affects real-world decisions, this conversation delivers incredible insights from someone living the decentralized future today.
