I'll actually take the other side of that. I think they'll easily hit that target. You have to understand how even more fucked up most other governments are around the world. There are thousands of millionaires desperate for an escape path to somewhere slightly less shitty.

There are NOT 100,000 Millionaires desperate for an escape path, much less an escape path to the United States.
You have to understand those other governments around the world are nowhere near as fukt up as you claim, especially for the kind of ppl who have this much money. And the US is definitely not a destination for them if they do want to get out when there are **passports** available for a fraction of the price of this visa.
They won’t even sell 1,000 of these things, much less 100,000, let alone “easily hit that target”.
You need to get out of America and meet some rich foreigners; you’d know this is a joke if you did.
I don't live in the United States. There are 6.2 million millionaires in China alone. Just 1% of them willing to buy this would be 60k.
But heh, we can agree to disagree.
Wanna bet 10k sats they sell more than 10k before the end of 2026 ?
Yes, I’ll take that bet.
And I’ll note 10k is only 10% of what Trump is claiming he’ll get “very quickly”; he’s not getting 10,000 multi-millionaires to donate $1M to the US for a “gold card” EB-1/EB-2 visa when they can get an EB-5 by investing $1M and keep their money.
Good point about EB-5. Let's see how it shakes out. May Nostr be our witness, the bet is on.
I haven’t seen the details but I think this is a good point. If this were the only way to get a visa then it would very likely meet the target. But if the other options remain open then I think people will take the easier path
