Thank you. I am into the Google Workspace ecosystem but I will try Microsoft 365 soon as a potential replacement. Google is nice and pretty straightforward but there are some automations and basic features (for calls for example like MS Teams or a CRM) that are missing. It's either is stay in...

4%, US1Y which is arguably the safest investment you can make. This is why I asked if USDC or USDT provides a substantially higher yield.

What is the current yield for USDC/USDT? If lower than 5 or 6% / year I would not bother.

Both are too complicated, overpriced, and too many VAS

Since Skype is shutting down soon, MS is pushing users to Teams. I am involved in the Google Workspace environment and unfortunately Google Voice only works for US or European companies. I am looking for a simple and reliable solution. No subscription, just PAYG or small credit package will be...

It is a bit more complicated than this. "871 and 881 and under FATCA, U.S. withholding agents are required to withhold 30% of FDAP income paid to foreign payees, subject to reduction under a relevant treaty." There are exceptions, if the service is FULLY executed outside the US AND you have no...

I think countries will start imposing taxes on foreign services. The US has been doing it for a while. The IRS forces US companies to withhold 30% of the invoice amount. I could also see Europe and other large economies imposing a digital tax on large tech firms. Tariffs on trade is so 1900...

This is not technical analysis, simply a price chart representing the (exponential) upward trajectory of BTC since inception.

Why not keeping the company in HK? Why do you need one in SG?

In this era of abundant sources of information it is easy to get overwhelmed. My goal in this life is to be as lean and simple as possible and I am trying to limit the apps and websites I use to the strict minimum YouTube (must have) Instagram Facebook (I don't check it anymore, and I wish I...

I onboarded a sell-side broker/investment banker as a client last year. As part of a "ISO environmental audit" they are now asking me a bunch of questions regarding how I handle ESG stuff, and on the side they are also asking me questions on my turnover, number of employees and financial...

They are pretty expensive. 450 EUR / day for a RS3? Not sure if inflation and whatnot and I mean I have not rented a sport car for 10 years but I did pay around the same prime for a brand new convertible 911 back in the days.

USA does this a lot but in foreign countries, for example in China during COVID. The US' wettest dream has always been a revolution in China. But it's not gonna happen and I think they know it...
