Most of the worlds capital flows through off-shore finance (Cayman Islands, Isle-of-man, etc), see <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;treasureislands.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;treasureislands.org</a> . For finance, biotech, etc. jurisdiction arbitrage is pretty standard. It&#x27;s what the big corporations and billionaires do to avoid taxes, and more generally the law. OFC&#x27;s are strongly tied to the financial centers of NY and London. I doubt that this product is all that useful for entrepreneurs outside developed countries, who have access to legal infrastructure anyway. The real breakthroughs will come from borderless settlement of contracts on the blockchain, i.e. situations where one doesn&#x27;t rely on lawyers, but computers. One can think about the cost to do an IPO (millions), versus issuing an asset on the blockchain (cents). With Stripe one can really see the hypocrisy of the financial system: they have sponsored an Altcoin called Stellar, but they ban businesses who are dealing with Cryptocurrencies.
