Democrats are going after the federal tax perks crypto investors flock to Puerto Rico to exploit. Plenty of Puerto Ricans I know hate crypto transplants for driving up housing prices and refusing to learn Spanish. But crypto investors also bring money into the impoverished island. What do you think? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-21/democrats-take-aim-at-puerto-rico-tax-perks-for-crypto-investors

I think a good source to check on this issue is Bianca Graulau who has been covering this story and other PR issues for years. https://youtu.be/Qq1zSTS10II?si=p6JmE466HL3p8jYF

PR is a gilded cage lol But short of PR becoming a state, how can IRS close this loophole? "No taxation without representation" and all that jazz? Seems destined to be thrown out in court

Curious how they’ll adjust incentives. The original idea was to help Puerto Rico recover, not price out locals
