Sorry for a stupid question but I have to ask. Why everyone is so desperate to start a company and locate it physically in the US? Is it just because of VC money? Wouldn't any safe place with good laws and easy immigration policy do? I

Yeah, just $30 million for development plus 12 million of ETH which is in current price like what $4.5 billion? I'm against of this kind of taxes. But if this is the way it works in crypto world, why should it be OK for some and not-OK

Why is this downvoted? It's true, isn't it? And as far as I know they had plans to make English the 3rd official language (along with Kazakh and Russian).
