This reminds me of seinfeld scene: [VIDEO] Anyway, for the bottom line of your company I think it rarely makes sense to frivolously spend more just to decrease your tax burden. There's smarter ways to spend money.

It seems like VCs will often sell shares for a near-total-loss on their investment, for simplicity and relationship with founders, and they can write it off[0]. [0] [VIDEO]

Crypto losses always remind me of Kramer and Jerry talking about losses. - Not a problem. It is a write-off for them. - How is it a write-off? - All these big companies do it - they just write it off! - Write what off? You don't even know what a write-off is! - Maybe I don't but they do. And they are the ones writing it off! [VIDEO]
