>Highest GDP per capita in World (except for oil and tax-haven nations), even PPP adjusted >Highest average wage (except for microstates), even PPP adjusted >Low taxes, 20% income for high income earners, 10% for 'low' income earners, 7,7% VAT, 2,5% for food >direct democracy, but only for true citizens and not for 'refugees' who took a 2 question quiz for their citizenship, their decisions seem based and redpilled too >proud of their culture and actively preserving it >no homelessness unlike other high cost of living areas *cough San Francisco*, even wagies can easily make ends meet ($22 at McDonalds) so no social tensions >no crazy libtards >high gun ownership but very little crime >very few no-go-areas in the entire country, almost no crime in general >beautiful nature >NO CAPITAL GAINS TAXES unless you daytrade like crazy >you have tons of money for fun stuff like cars, travel, tech etc. because it costs the same everywhere
Disadvantages: >high cost of living, you can avoid some stuff like groceries and hairdresser's by driving to Germany or France once in a while (doesn't work from everywhere ofc), other things like housing you just have to pay, which you can because of your salary >you'll never own a house unless your grandpa owns one
US is probably better for engineers and programmers but to all fellow europoors: this is your only chance to build substantial wealth, the money stays the same if you move out again, moving there actually might be a good thing to do in your 20s
>you'll never own a house unless your grandpa owns one

what a load of horseshit, im swiss btw, let me give you a rundown >Highest GDP per capita in World (except for oil and tax-haven nations), even PPP adjusted wealth which is highly concentrated in the hands of the rich. one of tthe highest income inequality nations in the oecd where everyone is middle class and a small percetage is uber, uber rich >Highest average wage (except for microstates), even PPP adjusted again, if you have industry connections. for everyone else working at normal companies and dealing with absurdly high living expenses, not so great. >low taxes meh, not so great when youre taxed in invisible ways like ridiculous high, mandatory healthcare. >direct democracy everyone is brainwashed so nothing real ever gets passed >proud of their culture and actively preserving it that one made me laugh, switzerland has the most foreigners as a percentage of any other european country. the city i live in is 50% foreigner >no homelessness wtf are you talking about, tons of homeless people, walk around at night and there are people cooking meth on street corners in Geneva >no crazy libtards they exist in every country, switzerland included >high gun ownership fine, but thats only because its given to sane people. also, its dispatched by the military but the ammunition box is kept in the barracks >very few no-go-areas true, but still >beautiful nature ok >tons of money please kys. most people are afraid of going to the dentist or even getting a haircut because most people, while not poor, dont really have a lot of money to splurge.
People in neighboring countries may be "poorer" but they have an infinitely better lifestyle. swiss live a puritan existance

I have dual US-Swiss citizenship, how can I leverage this to pay as little taxes on my crypto gains as possible

>Everyone is brainwashed In what way?

If you're a US citizen you pay US taxes. Gotta drop that first.
A house costs like $2M in Zürich, normies can't afford that, but perhaps their (grand)parents bought their home when prices were not inflated and they just inherit it. But don't quote me on that, I'm not an expert on swiss real estate, just looked through some websites
Probably not the best place to settle down in, but probably a great way to leverage your 20s and save some money, especially when considering how important it is for compound interest. But I guess the grass is greener on the other side either way
