It is close to impossible now for Trump not to become mister November.

• For Europe, it means close to 100%-probability the US will return tariffs on steel and aluminium.

• High chances of imposing a 10% tribute on all European imports.

• EU will have to start sending already stolen and pocketed Lucci into the NATO budget. Numbers we've heard of won't be enough to ensure the security of the EU, although even these required (promised) amounts are unaffordable for Europeans.

• EU will impose retaliatory tariffs on American goods, which will be shot in their (our) feet.

• The topic of CBDC will be eliminated from US monetary politics, and the EU won't be able to launch Central Bank Digital Currency properly.

• All that combined (+ issues with China, + many other things), will finally unleash the actual crisis in the EU.

They say that people don't read blogs any more and that video (especially, TikTok/Instagram shorts) is the king.

Maybe it is not the right moment to start a blog indeed but due to changes in my professional life, and as I'm getting closer to that number 40 of age, I think that I can't stay under the rock any more, I need to try (at least) to go public... and, well, since I have never entered the fashion world, I can't get out of it by definition (ba-dum-tss).

Two weeks ago I finally shut down the last company I was involved in, and that's it - I'm open to new challenges, preferably outside of Europe. Altogether, ≈18 years of experience in software and business development, management of different teams (designers, coders, engineers), IoT devices, blockchains, analytics, DeFi, fintech, agile, FinOps and all kinds of other rambling phrases which have been called trending technology and methodology up until today. My last project was about consulting the RWA (security tokens for Real World Assets) team in Italy, and that company is currently relocating to the USA.

My name is German (or Herman, depending on the pronunciation of the letter "G" where you are), and for my whole life I've been living in Estonia - the so-called tech hub of Europe. I have participated in different boot camps and acceleration or general-business-dev programs in London, Abu-Dhabi and Rome (the best city in the world, the only place to die), and, as quite a few people asked - I'm starting a blog.

I am not sure, if there will be many success stories here, but a ton of information about what NOT to do, what to avoid and how - is guaranteed. The European's view of the current situation with economic and political turbulence - as a bonus. All that - via the realism-optimistic prism (has anyone read the "Rational Optimism", by the way?), and I do hope that my knowledge and piece of advice will help somebody on achieving or not achieving what they are currently after.

If you want to start a business in Europe today, the good old way, with a world-changing idea, a dedicated team, the health of a bull and your own (FFF) money ... don't. The only to start a business in the EU is:

a. Have a lawyer, specialised in EU funds and talking the language of European bureaucrats in your team from day 1.

b. If you can't afford a lawyer, find a bookkeeper specialising in tax or a similar field (if that person would know a thing or two about international and offshore bookkeeping as a bonus, that is your partner).

c. Look for subsidised industries and adapt your project to it. Don't try to invent anything, lads in Brussels are limited in their thinking capacities.

d. Mobility is a must. You have to build a business structure, which will allow you to shut down the kiosk on day one and reopen it in any other place, under any other jurisdiction on day 2.

That is how I would start a new business today.

To finalise my First Entry...

Now, since the mass exodus of companies from Europe is evident (evident if ur not Macron or Ursula obv), here is some news which could change it all:

1. Europe has adopted the law that regulates the influence of Freemasonry on the judicial, executive and legislative branches. Any candidate for Deputies, Judges, Prosecutors and civil servants has to declare affiliation with Freemasonry, trade unions and other public organisations starting from their birth, and in some cases, affiliation of relatives.

2. In Europe, all "subsidies" and tax benefits have been repealed. At the same time, all taxes have been abolished except for VAT and luxury tax.

3. An elected body or elected authority, has been established to repress prostituted judges.

4. Any court process is limited to a maximum term of one year.

5. Any competent adult has been granted the right to represent him- or herself in court without a lawyer.

6. The Election Law has been changed - voters now have the right and ability to recall the mandate of their deputy.

7. Banks and financial institutions are prohibited from manipulating client funds and from denying them minimum service under threat of criminal punishment.

8. Banks and financial institutions are prohibited from collecting, storing, and manipulating client personal data that is not directly related to payments.

9. All "regulators" and "licenses" are under the jurisdiction of parliamentary commissions.

10. Museum directors are now elected positions.

Ten simple points for the opposition, explaining the actual state of European political opposition today.
