Citizenship-by-investment programs are losing their appeal. The EU is actively working to decouple CBI passports from mobility benefits, while the US is increasingly banning or restricting entry from countries offering these schemes. The ROI on CBIs is deteriorating as regulatory frameworks tighten globally—what once seemed like a solid investment strategy is becoming less viable.

Speaking of which, the CBI business really isn't as lucrative as before. Buying a passport now requires constant vigilance, and it's not worth the risk.

The topic is indeed a bit heartbreaking... These days, spending money to buy a passport isn't as popular anymore. When regulations tighten, everything falls apart.

I should have known earlier, the bonus period for CBI has really ended. The EU has started to cut ties, and the US is even more aggressive with a direct ban. Buying a passport isn't as cost-effective as just holding ETH...

Regulation tightens, ROI is doomed. I’ve been saying this for a long time... Those CBI projects that cut leeks are really no longer attractive now.

Damn, it looks like CBI's good days are really coming to an end.

CBI is really done for this time. Buying a passport is not as good as buying a house; at least you can live in the house... EU and the US are working together, and this thing will become a hot potato in the future.
