It is about aligning risk preferences. Being "all-in" is not likely a good thing for a founder. The founder prefers to take less risk which results to mediocre exit for the investor. The investor would rather have bigger exit or n

He should just have asked for all-cash transaction. I think it is fair. If they don't want to sell the company stock and buy the company with cash, or at least make an offer, then there is likelihood that there is some kind of fraud go

Bitcoin has worked for me all right for 10+ years. What is exactly wrong with it? At times fees have been a bit higher, but overall I would see the protocol as "good enough". For smaller transactions I have been using Lightning Ne

US is likely the only jurisdiction that can actually enforce it. Other countries can't just call US government to send them back if they suspect they owe some tax.

Ah that's why they're complaining about the student loans. In The European countries I have been living in, the concept of personal bankcrupty doesn't exist in the same way, at least. People who get too much loans kind of jus

Yeah, as an employer I made much more money. It was also very stressful, as managing people can be quite a hassle. I much prefer being self-employed without employees.

They can freeze it, but on the blockchain. As far as I understand, people can observe how much freezing happens overall, from the blockchain. This is superior feature IMO. There are tons of "paypal froze my money" all over the int

It is the software compability. Things working out of the box, without hassle. Almost nothing beats that. Almost everything is secondary.

Because Hetzner is so cheap, if I end up with a faulty server I just order a new one. However that rarely happens, and mostly with the newer products. For me 98% of the servers have been very stable. I guess it would be good habit to report

> Hetzner feels like a hard discount cloud provider. I still prefer them over AWS or Azure for non critical workloads that have a little budget. They are a discount provider. In my experience however, this kind of problems are very rare.

If Silvergate had kept their reserves in Tether instead of those 10-year goverment bonds, they would still be chugging along nicely.

AML/KYC laws apply to cryptocurrencies as well, in fact more so because they are by default more suspicious. Try depositing big amount of BTC to an exchange, you will get questions.

I'm not from US, but in my experience the tax office is a different agency compared to many others. They are happy if you are "honest taxpayer" so to say. Other agencies have different incentives.

I'm not coinbase nor FTX but if I would have already made billions I would consider myself a winner. I would say that all crypto companies that have survived with some kind of profitability for more than 3 years are clear winners.
