They will migrate to where they feel free, and they will use that freedom, both personally and in business transactions. So, in order for Amsterdam to benefit from their attitude, they should open up their laws regarding any sort of monetary transaction and their system of business regulation.
Unfortunately, it won't benefit Americans much because most of us can't or won't learn to speak Dutch.
