  1. With it increasingly being difficult to retain a bank account in the West whilst residing in Thailand (or similar), an increasing amount of people hold their overseas savings/wealth in stablecoins or similar digital representation (non speculative). Stablecoins being the equivalent (though riskier) than holding funds in a bank, but bearer based (like cash), one could/would argue, a $ based stablecoin or Euro, pound etc is no different to their overseas bank account which if they bring funds from, into Thailand would be tax free *its savings*. Yet if you use an exchange theres fees, and possibly tax because of the way Thailand treats such. Is there a form of a collective P2P network? - If so there should be.
  2. Why on earth not, you'd probably find she knows the place inside out.
  3. By 2026 the balance sheets of Western Central Banks will rise by something like 40% That's a currency debasement there, so even if they just up it a notch the pensions still won't be worth <deleted>, Thailand's currency will strengthen over the next 5-15 until they hit their own demographic issue.
  4. Lavrov was opening a consulate on the grounds of a Freehold company owned by a British Billionaire. Bit rich.
  5. Nature of P2P is interesting, i.e if its not Thai citizens then P2P overseas and into a Thai bank will be routed via TradFi. If P2P to Crypto to Fiat via say Binance then i'm not entirely sure how they are going to determine unless Binance is doing some form of CRS. As for Exchange (Satang, Bitkub etc) I'd imagine this is screened already.
  6. - Some debasement coming down the road in 5-15 if they can't stop doing that and sort their demographic issues.
  7. I pretty much live a western life, why is this such a big deal?
  8. Was an absolute gem, much like Koh Rok Yai/Nai is (except the piles of rubbish caused by the army being based on the island). Haven't been back since they started getting traction, but was our go-to place for sailing, or even a road trip down south to the farm.
  9. Swissborg (swiss) TAP (british)
  10. https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3458135/biden-approves-mobilization-of-reserves-to-support-eucom/
  11. Well at least they have learned from history [WW1,WW2] and Ukraine, they will be using the 40-55 yr olds first, instead of the youth and creating additional demographic issues (might actually resolve a lot of demographic issues).
  12. I just stopped using them when they introduced this new requirement, much like Bitkub years ago. Easier to just shift to a new company or outside of Thailand so the Gov loose the revenues.
  13. Not exactly true, there's 63,000 western troops amassing to enter the war under 17 brigades, in addition the US has recalled it's VET's for deployment to Europe, same in the UK.
  14. Still got a way to go if it's gonna be worth exiting.
  15. Honestly easier to just use a OTC or off-shore exchange i'd imagine. Liquidity on Satang isn't great at times.
  16. Wasn't there a tv series for something like this where they all live on a train circulating the world?
  17. I'd imagine, with higher concentration of carbon in the atmosphere, there's higher sea-plantations growing to absorb it.
  18. Have a glacier just above our home in Swiss. In the snowy months its barely there as it is, in the summer months it's rapidly disappearing. Only issue is when that goes, the mountain destabilises.
  19. I know someone that immediately sold his sports car, I've started closing the garage door for similar reasons.
  20. Did they ever determine whether he was 'dead' before they started carving him up in football size pieces (yeah seen the pics by accident reading thai news on FB). Gruesome, and all over such a small amount of money.
  21. My wife had a friend which worked at the Embassy, going by the discussions had. 1) British Embassy is 'Broke' - can't afford drinks for staff, let alone severance (even legal required). 2) Everything is being pushed to India.
