[Prices as of 7:30 AM ET. Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( WOULD YOU LIVE ON CRYPTO ISLAND? Check it out. I just came across this cool islandâ¦.Palau. - Located in the western Pacific Ocean. (near the Philippines) - One of the smallest countries in the world. - Small, but mighty views. Check out the views⦠But as beautiful as Palau is, it still has 2 main problems: 1/ Tourism makes up a lot of its economy. And since COVID-19 hit, Palau has struggled to recover. Plus⦠2/ Getting access to physical money is difficult. The cost of transporting pennies, quarters, nickels, and dimes often costs more than the money being transported itself. The solution: crypto. Which is why Palau is on a mission to become âCryptoâs Island.â. And it recently launched a [Digital Residency Program]( to help. [Source: Youtube]( Hereâs how it works: 1/ You apply for a Web3 ID. (i.e. a real ID backed by the republic of Palau) 2/ If approved, you get a physical government-issued ID as well as a digital NFT version. 3/ This government-issued ID comes with perks like: - Can be used for [KYC]( on most major exchanges - Can be used for ID verification for hotels, California DMV, registrations, Costco/CVS purchases, etc - 0% income tax and 0% cap gains - 6+ months of physical residency Plus, Palau gets to benefit from: 1/ An additional source of revenue from digital residency fees. 2/ Increased tourism. (i.e. if people get physical residency on the island, it could incentivize residents to spend some time of the year there) 3/ Access to crypto-minded people who can help build the infrastructure to actually become a future âcrypto islandâ. Milk Road Take: The jury is still out on whether thisâll work or not, but itâs recently gotten traction, and big names like⦠- Tim Draper (billionaire investor) - Vitalik Buterin (founder of [Ethereum]( and our Lanky King) â¦have already become digital residents of Palau. So Iâm curious⦠would you? Click on your answer below. Would you become a resident of Crypto Island? - [Hell yes! Pro-crypto. Great views. Sign me up.](
- [No way! I'm loyal to my current residency.]( [MAKE TOKEN GRANT ADMINISTRATION SIMPLE]( Itâs no secret that token management gets complicated. Between learning the crypto language and the tax obligations, token management can feel like an obstacle course. But it doesnât have to. Thatâs where [Toku]( steps in. [Toku:]( - Provides practical tools to handle token grants, allowing for effective oversight of token distributions for employees, contractors, advisors and investors. - Guides you through the token grant process with legal templates, vesting tracking, reporting, and tax management. - Handles all grant types - Token Purchase Agreements, Token Options, Restricted Token Grants, phantom tokens, you name it. The cherry on top? They also handle payroll, tax compliance, reporting needs and can integrate with any payroll/EOR providers in any jurisdiction. [Save time, money, and be compliant by working with Toku.]( ENS NAMES: A HIDDEN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY? ð§ Iâll say it⦠the basics of crypto are still way too complicated. Just look at [crypto wallets](: - Everyone needs one. - Itâs how people send/receive crypto. - But wallet addresses are super long and too complicated to remember. For example, this is Milk Roadâs Public Wallet address: 0x455419210c0E31cC1aDEF14e1c8db81f1Dc80A83. Now, I donât know about you, but I was only blessed with a double-digit IQ⦠So when it comes to memorizing that long-ass address or memorizing, letâs say, the lyrics to the Fresh Prince theme song. Well⦠But thereâs a solutionâ¦. [Ethereum Name Service]( (ENS). It lets you replace that super long, 40+ character address with an easier-to-remember name. Think of it like a website domain but for your crypto wallet. So this week, we went out and registered themilkroad.eth to our Public Wallet address. Now instead of having to use this⦠We can use this⦠The cherry on top? ENS domains could be a money-making opportunity. You see, when the internet came out, some people invested in website domains. The result? They made millions of dollars. Milky Fact of the Day: Michael Saylor (aka Bitcoinâs Golden Boy) made over $100M selling website domain names like voice.com, angel.com, etc. I repeat, over $100M. From website domains. Crazy. And although the ENS domain game is still early on, there have been some big sales: - Paradigm.eth sold for $1.5M (the most expensive sale, by far) - 000.eth sold for $320K - Porno.eth sold for $200K - Opensea.eth sold for $162K Does this mean you should go all-in on ENS names? No. None of this is financial advice. But it is an alternative investment that a lot of people donât really think about when they think of âdigital assetsâ. And history has shown that the returns can be pretty lucrative. Again, not financial advice. (my lawyer looks like heâs about Will Smith me so I had to repeat it.)
