I am still in team Europe and believe that taxes are important and that rich individuals can't take better care of public infra. I just don't want to make stupid mistakes at the beginning with my company structure.

Interesting, thanks for your comment. The question is then if the US will also tax my German holding company even if I don't withdraw any money from it to my personal account. If the US also taxes my holding company as if it were my pe

That's a good question! I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work. There shouldn't be a difference between a founder holding shares and an employee holding shares. Not sure how options play into it though.

Do we learn anything interesting about Tether through the Celsius bankruptcy? Will Celsius be forced to reveal how their relationship with Tether worked?

Sounds super useful! Where did you get the data from? Do you still have the code somewhere?

You should all (also OP) look into Fabry. It's a genetic disease which for some only shows up in adulthood. My Mum went through decades of chronic pain and though she had Fibromyalgia. There are dozens of papers showing how Fabry is of

DAI highly depends on USDC, ETH and BTC. If there is a bank run on DAI, they have to sell their collateral which leads to price drop in BTC/ETH which will make the situation worse. USDC, their other collateral, is controlled by a US co

Holy crap that sounds shady. Can you point to the transaction on chain?

Could you point out what they got wrong?

I guess they will monetise their KYC data. Eventually you will need KYC data to accept a payment from a customer. The customer obviously doesn't want to enter it again and again. So some company will build a KYC layer - this might be M

I doubt governments will allow payments without KYC. I think even for citizens that's a bad trade off. I feel much safer if I know whom I am doing business with.

Already far behind MoonPay. MoonPay has KYC data of > 1 Mio users.

Hm I doubt that developers on Ethereum will switch to such a system. At the end developer/product adoption will decide how the future will look like.

I think the key part will be KYC instead of VAT and sales tax. I am pretty sure there are already APIs to get VAT for every jurisdiction.

Stripe is the preferred way if you want to pay by CC no doubt. But at some point in the future the regular Joe might want to pay with his crypto wallet. Then MoonPay might be the preferred way.

I think you will get access to the documentation after you signed up as an enterprise customer. Maybe when you look at older versions with the wayback machine you find a public documentation.

Thinking about it again, I think MoonPays biggest asset is their stored KYC data. Customers don't want to go through KYC twice so if they have several options they will go with MoonPay again. I think KYC will play a big part in crypto

I doubt that revenue per wallet is a uniform distribution. At the end there will only be a few wallets left. If you sign them now you will get all their business. Phantom has already announced to use MoonPay. OpenSea, the biggest NFT market

web3 == crypto. People use this term more often lately since crypto has a bad reputation.

I am not sure if the relationship to merchants will be enough here. MoonPay has relationships to 250+ wallets - this is where lucrative on and off ramp is happening.

I think the situation will be similar to when Zuck tried to acquire Snapchat. MoonPay is sitting on a gold mine and they know it.

How do you you handle the communication between the Django codebase and the Go codebase? Does it produce a lot of overhead?

+1 Would be cool if some experienced dev could share some estimates when the Python scaling issues start. When you build a backend using Python + Django/FastAPI, I assume in most cases the DB and not Python is the limiting factor. More
