I am hoping North Asian countries loosen up about visas. Right now it's easy to be a digital nomad or retiree in Thailand. Malaysia has My Second Home: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_My_Second_Home I expect things will get easier in North Asia as the effects of the aging population hit. I would love to be able to move to a small town in Japan to live the Totoro life with fast Internet. And no virus problems.

Malaysia My Second Home has been suspended.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> contributing nothing locally Someone earning $10 a day online from overseas sources is contributing far more than a local worker.

Could you elaborate how that might be the case? Is the argument that the $10 will somehow trickle down into the local economy?

I believe he is saying this is inflating the fiat money due to new money throw in the economy not being in sync with the local production, causing the Cantillon effect[1]
