It's close to impossible to get a bank account in less reputable offshore jurisdictions which limits their use to holding physical assets or IP etc... The not so funny part, is that the US isn't a member of CRS to they don't

The public underestimates the huge efforts that have been accomplished to prevent tax evasion in the last few years. FATCA forces all signatories to report US tax payer info to the IRS no matter the country in which they have a bank account

Yes, your article says that both the poor and the rich are more likely to be targeted which is true but it doesn't negate my claim. The very rich are much more likely to be targeted than any other category. https://taxfounda

People who declare (or don't declare) $0 income and high income tax payers are disproportionally likely to be audited. And if you make $10mm+ for a number of year, you're almost certainly going to be audited and anecdotally, that

It's not as simple as that... The wealthy are, justly, disproportionally targeted by audits, 10x more likely to be audited if you make more than $10m vs less than $100k. Vast ressources will not necessarily prevent you from being convi

Back when WhatsApp's business model relied on subscriptions rather than ads, it sold for $1/year. What justifies this being 120x more expensive? Is it just economies of scale?

Almost certainly a false positive. You can't have a virus propagating with a R0 of 2-4 and a cycle of ~1 week start in September 2019 yet have almost no cases by December 2019.

Ok, interesting... I think your general point is valid, which is that, transacting in USD with a bank is, under certain circumstances, simpler and faster than transacting in bitcoin on-chain. But you always have to rely on a third party, tr

Yes sure, it takes 30 mins to send wires in a best case scenario it is executed immediately when you send it but that's not what happens in practice for most people. I do that regularly and it takes me a couple of hours. Venmo and co a

As a store of value, bitcoin does not compare to fiat but to other forms of hard money such as gold. During Bretton-woods, the US dollar and other currencies were redeemable for gold and no one was saying that the US dollar was polluting th

Buying US stocks takes 2 days to settle. Sending simple wires in the US takes hours. Last time I tried to send significant funds from France to the UK, it took me a whole week of back and forth with the bank to complete all the AML/KYC

Airbus seems safer from your link? They never had a crash on any of their newer models, A380, A350 and neo variants. The vast majority of flights are performed in 737s and A320 variants and the crash rate is 0.09 for Airbus vs 0.24 for Boei
