There's this like entire system where it's like completely fucked up. And I think that's why people are asking. It's more like not trying to optimize taxes, but to understand the system, where should they set up their company in first place so that it's working? Because now that you work with a computer, you could work from anywhere in the world. You can live anywhere in the world.

So there's this ocean of options, which creates as well an ocean of thoughts.

Yeah. And I think for you, it also makes sense where you are because you might have employees, et cetera. So it's the more things engage. For me, the company is one person. It's me. There is no employee. There is no one else. There is eventually a contractor to edit my videos, but that's it. And so that gives me an enormous amount of flexibility to where I go. But on the downside, where do I go?

And that was the tricky part where I was not really sure where to open first. Interesting. Yeah. And people really ask a lot.

When I looked at Stripe Atlas at the beginning, I was living in France and And I hired someone, a lawyer, and he told me if you own a Stripe Atlas business in France, like you're going to get flagged. They won't like it because it's like zero percent tax heaven. And so either you would get double tax as if it was a French company. So in that case, that makes zero sense.

Or if one day you get an audit, then you're fucked. And I was like, that's the moment where I started to realize, like, wait, so what, you know? And then there's this entire process of like, okay, I can have a company abroad, but then I need to move abroad as well. And then, yeah. And then that's when the troubles somehow started.

Then you have the regulation that changes in every country because at some point everybody was talking about Dubai. That's the place to go. And then they changed the regulation and it became more expensive. And I was lost. I was like, okay, fuck. I'm not going to optimize anything. I'm going to do something simple.
