PITA for a large company to handle stable coins etc with accounting, etc

Also PITA for people as well, we have a 33% tax on crypto selling here in Italy on profits…

stablecoins arent crypto in EU anymore, its e-money. No tax on converting to euros.

money happened. it corrupts all. once there is enough of it going around people lose all senses and just want more.

See also, the influx of spooks into various hackerspaces during the Snowden/Assange era. I truly believe there was an effort to subvert these communities, and thats what happened.

Just pay them in stable coins. That's a solved problem.

You got downvoted, but sadly we have 2026 and it's still not easy to send money to any bank in the world. You can say a lot of bad things about the crypto world, but thats a problem Bitcoin solved two decades ago.

bitcoin is neither cheap and stable

Buying stable coins is a mild pain because so many banks think crypto is radioactive. Then you have to wait for your deposited funds to completely settle before you can withdraw the crypto from your account and send it elsewhere. Doable, sure. Easy & convenient, not so much. I wouldn't call it a solved problem in the same way you can hand someone cash, tap to pay with your phone, or pay by scanning a QR Code.

Not anymore! Most places allow this very easily now.

I once interviewed there, and it was the weirdest interviews of my life.

They literally asked me to prepare on the company mission and values.

The first round was about generic stuff where nothing much was asked. And ironically, despite transparency being their core mission, they didn't tell me I was rejected until I emailed them about a week later.

Same in a lot of countries - he said profits - it’s a taxable gain like any other asset or holding.

I don't know. It used to be 26%, like capital gains from shares, securities, etc. but since 1st January 2026 crypto is taxed at 33% unless it's euro stablecoins (still 26%).

At this point, I think most crypto investors in Italy will just evade taxes altogether.
