INDIA, INTERNET, INTERNATIONAL If you're Indian, don't move to America. Because the US left hates technocapitalists. And the US right wants no more immigrants. Moreover, as the sovereign debt crisis worsens... It only gets worse. Possibly murderously worse. So: Indian immigrant technocapitalists need alternatives. And there are three options: India, Internet, and International. 1. India India itself is the world's fastest growing economy, with the #1 growth rate in the world over the last 10 years. Every major company is investing in India. So you can do well in the Indian economy: 2. Internet The Internet is taking over from a fading NYSE/NASDAQ as the world's largest capital market. The decline of Delaware and NYC accelerate this; everyone from Elon to Elad Gil to a16z to Dropbox have moved out of Delaware for incorporation, and Mamdani is catalyzing a capital exodus to Miami. So: the US is no longer a stable place for capital formation. And Solana and Ethereum already put Indians on a level playing field with the entire world, with digital rule-of-law. No one can discriminate against you in a smart contract simply for being Indian, so you can do well in the Internet economy: 3. International Finally, at the exact moment that the US has stopped recruiting tech talent while India is generating enormous amounts of it, the rest of the world is opening their doors to digital nomads. Dozens of places from the UAE to Singapore have created many different kinds of talent visas. And so Indian technologists have begun rerouting there, especially to Dubai and Singapore. So that's the third option: the International economy: In short: do not expect the US to suddenly become more friendly towards immigrant capitalists. The long-term financial outlook is not good, so America is unfortunately no longer a good place to build a stable life and a career. Which is why Americans themselves are in a zero-sum mentality. You can't fix that. Instead, if you're an Indian technologist, rely only on TCP/IP rather than H-1B. And build yourself up in India, on the Internet, or internationally.
