So by just being a digital nomad that makes money online you get access to a country that spent billions and maybe trillions of dollars building its infrastructure?
My opinion is that you are going to benefit from that, so here is what I think is a fair deal for digital nomads seeking to browse the USA:
Duration: 0.5-2 years. renewable after 5 years.
Cost: $5,000 for the visa + $600/month.
Work: No. But you can do consulting for accredited companies.
For that cost, I get access to a great infrastructure, culture, people, universities... I don't have to pay taxes, I just pay a monthly fee which is the equivalent of what I get.
Once I finish my tour, I just leave the country.
