AirBnb seems to look at: - IP address - Needs a bank card issued in the same country (says EU, but combined with IP requirement and IP verification requirements on the banks, essentially same country). - Gift cards cannot be used without a registered bank card - Booking for someone else is...

Airbnb requires an EU-based payment method for accounts in EU, similarly for accounts in the US. They do not ban Russian citizens, but ban actions from within Russian territory. I want to understand, from a practical point of view, how do Russians book an apartment on airbnb in Dubai for...

Is this true though? Where is the proof? I think those things correlate weakly. I present covid restrictions as exhibit #1. And please differentiate between dictatorships and totalitarian states. I think the future might be bright for dictatorships that allow for people to freely move in and...

From New EU measures against money laundering and terrorist financing | News | European Parliament What is "the extractive industry or a company exposed to a higher risk of money laundering or terrorist financing"?

This is such a bad take. Of course any savings will be in the biggest denomination. If $100 notes are removed, then I will save in $50 notes. And OF COURSE you do not see the bills used for savings when paying. Why would you? Does this dude know the difference between a means of exchange...

Algeria has strict capital controls for banks, Algerians can't get their own money out. Why would you put money in that you cannot get out? Black hole indeed.

What you are saying is a little strange. You are complaining about business being closed on Fridays when that was changed years ago. How could something that is fixed make you move out? For FX rates, even exchanging crypto to AED CASH costs 1% in Dubai, so why are you paying that much? This...

I'd go for Meydan. Awesome hotel with amazing pricing compared to other five-star hotels in Dubai. The offices aren't great, but they are building a new lower floor with a view to the horse race track. No audits. What's nice also is that if you don't have too much time on your hand, you can...

@uplana, isn't it a bit late to run to Georgia now? You only have about a year until CRS is implemented

Like Ripple, USDT is on all the exchanges because of hard-nosed business people that strike deals. Remember, there's no regulation here, and unlike Bitcoin and MakerDAO which are based on rules, USDT is based on nothing, just your faith in shady people.

UK startup? They should be flexible. Get paid in bitcoin. Very simple, and shouldn't be an issue for the UK business.

I think you're talking about the PayPal business strategy, aren't you?

No, the name of the company is still in the post.

Your time is worth nothing?
