            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kasta is a new project, still in deep development, which took it upon itself to massively popularize the use of cryptocurrencies for everyday payments in order to achieve mass adoption. As they state clearly:</p><p>Our mission is to steer the world towards worldwide cryptocurrency adoption and a crypto-based economy.</p><p>The four co-founders of the project — Carl Roegind, Carl Runefelt (known as The Moon on Twitter), Sebastian Appelberg and Hans-H Lusmägi — identified several problems with fiat payments as well as challenges concerning the current state of crypto payments. For crypto to achieve mass adoption, there would have to be a solution to those problems, or at least a better alternative to currently available services. Kasta’s goal is to be that solution.</p><p>When it comes to fiat payments, they are incredibly slow compared to crypto transactions. Often times it can take until the next day for your money to be transferred. Additionally, cross-border transactions in fiat are usually very expensive — financial institutions charge very high fees.</p><p>Cryptocurrency transactions may seemingly solve those problems, but in doing so, they introduce a set of new ones. In most places, it is still difficult to use crypto payments for everyday purchases because not every vendor supports crypto payments. Sending crypto transactions and operating wallets can also seem very intimidating for majority of newcomers which renders this solution unavailable (or unfit) for most people.</p><p>Kasta argues that for crypto to reach global adoption, it must first be widely used as a medium of exchange, which is currently not the case. Most people nowadays view cryptocurrencies rather as a store of value (e.g. BTC).</p><p>One could compare Kasta to PayPal or Venmo with the addition of crypto and blockchain features and benefits (blockchain security, quick transactions…).</p><p>Now, what is a rarity, even among crypto and DeFi (decentralized finance) projects, is that Kasta wants to make the transactions not only instant but also completely free (feeless). The project is able to achieve this by using Kasta’s hybrid decentralized/centralized approach (Which some could argue destroys the whole point of cryptocurrencies — that is, to be decentralized. But perhaps a small trade-off is worth it, given the benefits and positive consequences?).</p><p>Additional one-up on traditional bank accounts is Kasta’s high focus on yield farming. This would be a default option available for all Kasta users, even though you could get higher yield rates and lower fees by e.g. holding bigger amounts of KASTA tokens. However, a feature, also completely unique to Kasta, the option to create your own farming pools with your friends or social media audience, would allow you to reach higher yield rates even without holding huge amounts of tokens.</p><p>Next high priority area is UX (as well as UI). The goal here is to make the final product as user friendly and as simple to use as possible, so that people who are new to cryptocurrencies aren’t discouraged by complicated procedures, public addresses, private keys, different blockchain networks etc. As Carl Roegind stated in one of his interviews: “We want your grandma to be able to use our products” (paraphrasing).</p><p>Last but not least, Kasta plans to issue their own debit cards so that the users would have the ability to pay directly with crypto anywhere in the real world.</p><p>The Kasta team believes that those and additional features (Buy now, pay later; Request payment…) will not only create a solid technological product, but also will be enough to popularize crypto to the point of mass adoption, which is the ultimate goal.</p><p>The picture below provides a comparison with other, similar services:</p><p>As you can see, Kasta looks pretty promising.</p><p>Right now, Kasta is in the middle of development and 2022 looks pretty exciting for the project so far. In Q4 of 2021 the team managed to add several features and launch Beta.</p><p>Yesterday, on January 5, 2022, IEO (initial exchange offering) was held on Bybit with 25 000 000 KASTA tokens for sale.</p><p>The ultimate goal for Q1 of 2022 is to launch an MVP (minimal viable product). Then, throughout the year, more of the promised features will be added and the application itself will be polished to the desired state.</p><p>If you are interested in additional information (for the sake of simplicity of the article, I didn’t cover everything), I highly recommend reading Kasta’s whitepaper or checking out their website.</p><p>Thank you for reading.</p>]]></content:encoded>

E-commerce firms aren’t obligated to collect and remit sales tax in every state, which is a widespread misconception.</p><p>If you have nexus in that state, you must pay sales tax. As a newbie in an internet company, you may not know what the term “nexus” implies, so let me explain.</p><p>“Nexus” refers to a “connection” in the context of internet business terminology. In practice, if you sell anything in another state, you don’t have to pay sales tax on it.</p><p>It’s important to remember that each state has its own set of regulations and legislation that must be taken into account before deciding whether or not to charge sales tax.</p><p>When you establish a nexus in a particular state, you are obligated to track, collect, record, and remit any sales that occur inside that state.</p><p>Because of this, you must pay tax sales dependent on where your firm is located.</p><p>When creating your nexus in the state, bear in mind that there are alternative methods to do it.</p><p>In addition to having a physical presence or structure in a certain state, you may also develop a nexus by having sales reps, trade exhibitions, mobile shops, etc. in that state.</p><p>Also, See: How to Make Money with Bitcoin for Beginners in 2022</p><p>There are so many laws and regulations that apply to various jurisdictions that making an internet company operate may be almost difficult.</p><p>You should not give up hope, though; with the assistance of legal experts and qualified public accountants, you will undoubtedly learn what actions you need to do to stabilize and grow your internet company.</p><p>Being well-versed in taxes and your internet company will unquestionably assist you in your quest for online business success.</p><p>The Content is for informational purposes only, you should not construe any such information or other material as legal, tax, investment, financial, or other advice.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reward: 150 GMS [~$27]Referral : 15 GMSFocus: Distribution on June 2021.Last year both NFT’s and P2E games gained exponentially more intrest, Enjin is a token which combines the two worlds.</p><p>Enjin’s mission is simply to make the gaming world fairer.</p><p>For those who aren’t familiar with gaming, currently almost every game offers microtransactions. These are small purchases you can make in the game with real money so you can obtain extra’s like power-ups, a better character/car or purely cosmetic items.</p><p>The problem with these is that they are locked in the game, meaning that if you buy them, you’ll never be able to redeem them for real money again or most often won’t be able to trade them with others. There is however a limited amount of games where players can trade between each other, an example would be the Car-football game called Rocket League where users can trade cars, liveries, wheels and goal-celebrations. This created a huge sub-part of the game and attracted many more gamers.</p><p>While this definetly is a step in the right direction, we would rather be able to have complete ownership of our digital items and be able to buy and sell them easly, quickly and when we like. Well, that’s exactly the problem that Enjin’s trying to solve.</p><p>Enjin transforms these in-game items into NFT’s, allowing you to buy or sell items on the Enjin marketplace and immediatly redeem them for Enjin coins if you wanted the money.</p><p>The gaming market is a huge and is only projected to grow in the coming years, with Enjin being a clear leader in the space I’d hope to see regular games coming to the blockchain and building on Enjin.</p><p>Enjin has built a server on the popular game Minecraft where it has fully integrated its marketplace. In this particular ‘Enjincraft’ server you can buy in-game assets from the Enjin wallet and immedialy have them at your disposal in the actual game. This is a huge step forward and helps games like Minecraft see the potential of games on blockchain and of course on the Enjin platform.</p><p>Enjin also has partnerships with both Samsung and Microsoft which again depicts it’s image of being the clear leader in this Gaming/NFT space.</p><p>Even the United Nations are working with Enjin to help NFT’s have a positive impact not only on the gaming and art space but with helping the UN reach their Social and Environmental goals.</p><p>Enjin already has a very big team and some very proven founders. Witek Radomski for example wrote on of the first ever NFT codes ever.</p><p>Insider Token distribution is a huge problem in Crypto as many firms give substantial amounts (&gt;50%) of the token supply to insiders which eventually leads up to the insiders dumping all their coins on the retail investors.</p><p>Luckily, Enjin isn’t an example of this, as 80% went to the public, 10% will be used by the company to pay bills, invest in others,… and another 10% goes to the team.</p><p>There is a max supply of 1 Billions tokens, with the current supply at 855 Million tokens which should mean that inflation won’t exceed 5%</p><p>In total 10.3 Million Enjin coins have been spent on digital assets on the marketplace, at the current price of 2 USD that would translate into 20.6 Million Dollars.</p><p>In 2020 over 56 Billion Dollars was spent on in-game items, if Enjin were to capture only 0.1% of that total then that would result in their marketplace almost tripling in value, coming down to 56 Million in volume.</p><p>Combining this with the tokenomics, adoption and Gaming-industry disruption, I’d put a conservative price prediction at 6–8 Dollars by the end of 2022.</p><p>Enjin’s idea is very disruptive while the Gaming-industry is huge. The total gaming industry is worth 178 Billion in 2021 which makes Enjin’s networth at 1.7 Billion a very tiny number. This on top of the expected overal growth of the gaming industry makes a clear point about how much bigger Enjin could become.</p><p>I identify Enjin as a clear leader in the Gaming/NFT space and are set up well to 2,3,4, 5x or more in worth over the coming years/months.</p><p>Airdrop Link: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out" href="https://t.me/GramSwapRound2AirdropBot">https://t.me/GramSwapRound2AirdropBot</a></p>]]></content:encoded>
