12 hours and counting - notary reads every single word of Series A docs in Germany out loud in front of founders. In person. Guys, we have GDP to grow here. Pure prehistoric madness.

@TweetsOfSumit Die gibt es hier extra für Lampen. Du kannst den Stecker reinstecken und dann drehen, so hängt die Lampe schon mal. Ist hier so üblich in Dänemark.





I’ve been in Dubai for 2mo setting up a new business. Here’s my pros/cons ↓ (+set-up advice) Pros: - Continuous sunshine, glorious weather Nov-Mar - World-class facilities & high standard of service across the board - Positive change & adaptation can be expected from the leaders (vs sabotaging their own population) - A hub for entrepreneurialism & events - The obvious: 0% income tax, 0% corporate tax <~$800k/yr (9% above, super reasonable) Cons: - Heavily polluted: Primary reason I couldn’t live here/raise kids - Lack of nature & wholesome things to do is crippling - Revolving door of people coming/going, tough to create stable community - The level of control is concerning, I can’t even open my apartment door without an app on my phone (mandatory in my building) - Noise & construction is relentless Set-up options I found: **speak to financial advisor, mine’s in the next post - Incorporate a business (spending at least 1 day/6mo) for 0% corporate tax below ~$800k (9% above) - Explore the 90 day + connection (business/salary) test for tax residency if you’ve cut ties to your home country - Commit to 6mo/yr in periods of expected asymmetrical growth (esp. if above test doesn’t suit) - Consider separate operating business which the UAE business owns in globally accepted currency w/ high trust I’ve shared my contact for set-up in the next post ↓ P.s. The comments under @averyx99’s post about slavery are totally off the mark. For many from India, Pakistan, Philippines, etc. this is the land of opportunity & they’re stoked to be here. (Even if they take tougher jobs)





Block Analitica has no exposure to the following assets in all of our curated vaults: - xUSD, mHYPER, yUSD, rUSD, deUSD, mf-ONE, scUSD (and their respective derivatives). Almost 2 weeks ago, we posted a proposal to @summerfinance_ to hold back from onboarding new yield sources that have exposure to some of the above collaterals, due to their recursive collateral risk.

Yesterday, an external fund manager overseeing Stream funds disclosed the loss of approximately $93 million in Stream fund assets. In response, Stream is in the process of engaging Keith Miller and Joseph Cutler of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP, to lead a comprehensive investigation into the incident. We are actively withdrawing all liquid assets and expect this process to be completed in the near term To keep our stakeholders informed, we will provide periodic updates as additional information becomes available. Until we are able to fully assess the scope and causes of the loss, all withdrawals and deposits will be temporarily suspended. Any pending deposits will not be processed at this time. Our decision to retain Perkins Coie LLP reflects Stream’s unwavering commitment to transparency and robust corporate governance.
