Stripe doesnt do taxes for you like paddle as a merchant of service.


Also pretty sure it was mostly focused on US startups at least initially

Just saying payments have no moat. Bureacracy and tax law are just boring if thats ur moat gl


My point was by being on an early ycombinator cohort stripe got to be very well positioned to get as customers all their companies.

Yc does great at this. Their portfolio has a lot of in-breeding

You are undermining the accounting and tax systems all over the world mate. Payment is easy, tax collection is higher level.
