Alright /biz/, need some quick, non-retarded advice.
I'm a digital nomad, US citizen but live abroad full-time. Got a couple EU passports too.
When signing up for exchanges (Binance, Bybit, etc.), should I use my US passport or a foreign one?
My main questions:
1. If I use a foreign passport/residency for KYC, does this actually help with anything, or just create a future problem?
2. How does this affect US taxes? IRS is gonna find out anyway through FATCA, right? Does using a foreign ID just make me look more suspicious?
3. If I use my Portuguese ID, will Portugal try to tax me even if I'm only there for a few months?
4. Is being a "tax resident of nowhere" a real thing or just a larp?
Trying to figure out the optimal play here so I don't get a surprise visit from the taxman in multiple countries.
What are you guys doing?
