    State Authority Launches Investigation into Ethereum Foundation

    Lido is not "just a system", Lido operators are from a list curated by them so is in their power who is and who isn't an operator (it's even on their site: Apply to be a Lido Node Operator). So at the end of the day Lido OWNS ~30% of the staking network And the other 20% is owned by custodial...

    State Authority Launches Investigation into Ethereum Foundation

    Lido, Coinbase, Binance and Kraken... And before you ask for proof, here is one of them: https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/ethereum-staking-statistics but with an easy search you can find more places stating basically the same

    State Authority Launches Investigation into Ethereum Foundation

    What?? ns2 More than 50% of the whole Ethereum staking market for validation is owned by 4 businesses. I don't have any issues with it being so centralized since I don't really care about it but saying it's more decentralized on a purely technical vantage point is just ignoring how reality works

    Panama vs. UAE Residency: Is Panama Still Worth It?

    Make sure they are telling the correct information: https://www.migracion.gob.pa/images/img2023/pdf/02.INVERSIONISTA_MACRO_EMPRESA.pdf Panamanian law has always said you need to show the proof for: ``` Copia autenticada por la CSS de la planilla, con un mínimo de cinco (5)panameños por...

    Easy territorial or zero tax residency without presence requirements

    Let's see and think like the countries: On one side I can keep good relationships with bigger economies and either sell them something or benefit from something else, on the other hand here's a few rich people who would like a residence for just 400 bucks a year... Yeah I'm picking the bigger...

    Panama vs. UAE Residency: Is Panama Still Worth It?

    Yeah you need to get a mortgage of a Panamanian bank for at least $200k, most banks will ask you for a downpayment of 20% so that's an initial investment of $40k, the rest you pay it in 15-20 years (most banks don't give 30yr mortgages to foreigners). You can do the process either as a natural...

    Panama vs. UAE Residency: Is Panama Still Worth It?

    Yeah but I'm afraid most people here are not in the friendly nation list so that's why I didn't mention it. I'm in the friendly nation list and I didn't even need to do the investment, I just got a mortgage with a bank for a property priced over the mark and that's it. One thing about the...

    Panama vs. UAE Residency: Is Panama Still Worth It?

    It actually depends on the structure, for example if you go with the company investment route (160k in a business) you need to hire 5 locals and at least pay them a minimum wage for 2 years... On the other hand you can also ask for residency if you're an employee of a business but being a...

    Andrew's Tate Zero Taxe Advice. (Works in UK and USA !???)

    THIS! I seriously can't understand why all of its followers don't see the irony, since when getting out of the matrix is making Bezos richer and pay a $50/m subscription to learn basic stuff to none in a discord ns2

    Peru - 2 years citizenship

    So what? me too and I was answering another user about why Peru actually wants you to live there (like basically almost every other country). I think you think too much. I came to that conclusion by having a brain, by working with people from Peru for about 6 years and also by the increasing...

    Peru - 2 years citizenship

    Peru requires you to show documentation of you staying there for at least 183 days/year, an exam with questions about Peruvian geography, history, culture, current affairs AND it will be in Spanish... So I think Peru actually wants you to "live" there for those years

    Peru - 2 years citizenship

    Not even people from Peru want to live there, 5 presidents in less than 4 years and 7 in just 10 years... That's stability right there

    Dubai is dead, any alternative to the free zone 9% tax?

    And I already said “I mean, you can and many people already do that”

    Dubai is dead, any alternative to the free zone 9% tax?

    I mean, you can and many people already do that... although, most people there prefer to spend some grants in a few SUVs (you will see a lot of Lexus and Land Rovers) so they can go to exclusive beaches instead of needing to care if their ridiculously fragile car hit the road and breaks itself.

    Dubai is dead, any alternative to the free zone 9% tax?

    Sorry for not catching that you specifically "asked in terms of company incorporation, taxes, doing business. Not about living in Panama" from the phrase "Will Panama be a nice alternative to Dubai?". My bad :) Why I was talking about Europe? Well cuz most people asking about Panama are from...
