There will be like 10 people who will actually use this option. TON is smoke and mirrors, extremely centralised, mostly owned by a group of shady Russians and has close to zero real demand and use cases.

That's Ukraine. Or at least was. The most beautiful women in Europe, dirt cheap, plenty to do, well connected to the rest of the world, young people speak somewhat decent English. Maybe wait till the war is over and try your luck there.

It's at least 3 years before the next election, polls mean nothing. And discussing a half-cooked idea that will have negative support amongst British public is a pointless exercise. Non-dom was brought to spotlight because Sunak's wife used it. It was weaponised against him and scrapped by his...

Ahahahaha. Reform to power? For real?

Idiotic compliance and repeatable demands for more papers. Even for small 5-6 digits transfers.

Swissquote, both physical and virtual. Works for UAE residents, obviously works for EU, not sure about others.

Freelancer to agency (scaling from a few clients to around 100). Most difficult part was hiring the right people, still did most of the process myself then including sales, onboarding and actual work. Tough life, but I was young and full of energy. Took me about two years to start bringing home...

So it's basically a "kitchen" then? You can't sell "shares" to anyone outside the pool, you are not the shareholder in the depositary, you just some number in the kitchen database. And all that for a chance to trade 24/7 365? Jees, the world is going crazy.

The whole beauty of stocks (except speculation and wealth growth) is that in (un)likely case of your broker collapse your assets will still belong to you and the recovery process is usually quite fast - your new broker will be able to assign you your holdings from the depositary. So unless you...

Again, with an exception of few countries you can't do much with crypto directly - it must first be converted to fiat and then you might do a transaction. There are barely any merchants who accept crypto directly, only small percentage actually have crypto processing, you will get flagged by...

That's the problem - you can't. Days when you could bring a duffle bag of cash to a notary and buy a flat are over. Hell, you can't even buy a new car from a dealer with cash. There are limits of how much you can pay with cash in stores with some exceptions made for tourists. I'm talking here...

Meanwhile in Japan you can do anything you want with cash and I don't hear Japan being the capital of money laundering or tax evasion. It's not about battling the bad guys, it's about controlling the crowds.

You can do a lot with pre-tax corporate money in the UK. Especially if you work in creative industries like IT. Business flights, hotels, car leasing, personal items like cloths and gadgets, even partial rent can be paid from your LTD pocket, saving you like a half on taxes compared with paying...

Switzerland is a great place actually, but to achieve a low-tax setup there you need some negotiation power, then you can have a tailored made solution from one of the cantons. Few 100k EUR doesn't cut it, you are better off on Cyprus/Malta/Portugal or in Dubai (or Ireland if you like colder...

There is no protection from US reach unless you are a citizen of China or maybe Russia or N Korea. There are anecdotal instances of people escaping US prosecution, but most of them live fugitives lives and risk being used as an exchange stock. Don't mess with yanks.
