Capital in the form of currency and bonds that are burying us right now is the bubble.

Everybody speaks English and the official currency is the US Dollar, so there is no exchange rate.

I spent $200K cash in 9 months because I was "promised" a $1M fee for being the middle-man in trading historical currency, as well as a $15M line of credit to finance my other businesses (I also had a music development company and traded stock options online). 

However, do we need to consider the currency exchange or are there any other fees we will have to pay from transferring this from Canadian account to American Account?

The reason is by nature commercial requires millions to put down versus some dumpy house that costs 50k to buy sight unseen.So they have the currency exchange rate to get over, entity set up, tax withholding, they know nothing of the area here, a long lead time to take any action, some countries they are not required to report income or pay taxes etc. so hard to get a loan.I could go on and on.

Scott-LOL - very good, however, we are working with individuals seeking to utilize bitcoin, the volatility is a metric to consider, but Bitcoins can be converted to regular currency, though various controlled means.  

If you end up transferring funds across borders/currencies I can recommend you to a transfer service that can typically save clients 3-10% in the transfer process, sometimes more depending on the currencies involved.  

One the positive side, Turkey is a tourism powerhouse and the Turkish Lira has lost most of its value against most major currencies.

He does use time as currency for a lot of DIY.

Were the countries you invested in Asia third world countries with weak currencies?
