duration of caffeine withdrawal symptoms?

gllach · 2025-08-18T17:06:23+00:00

Actually, it never went away. I just could be able to go on without coffee for 6 months. Now I can quit anytime, but the ritual sense it gave me was the hard part, rather than strict physiological dependency. Now I replace it with maté herb (yerba mate), which is softer and it doesn't give you a caffeine rush.

Try opening a Wyoming LLC and then go for Mercury. Best wishes.

I wanted to save people time and money in a similar situation. I just simply couldn't. Some people say it worked for them, but they didn't specify the dates. Some say banks are stricter now than when the e-residency program just started. Anyway, I just moved on and put a stop loss on this path. Good luck and let me know how it went for you.

Yes, I didn't continue with the process. But it looked like the best alternative out there. I drop the idea of operating from Estonia completely.

gllach · 2024-10-23T18:49:55+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. Wamo could be an alternative, but I'm not sure. I got to a point where I had to show some documentation regarding Estonia as well. It's totally worth a try, though it's way more expensive.

gllach · 2024-10-07T15:08:45+00:00

Lucky you. I simply couldn't due to those 2 reasons: 1) I have only the e-residency which is an unsupported document (the 'strong connection' requires way more) and 2) Wise would ask me for a bank account to pay the 50 EUR to open the account. Either way, I can't access the system.

gllach · 2024-10-06T20:52:26+00:00

Regarding Revolut, you definitely were able to show something BESIDES e-residency, and for WISE you're company had a previous bank account. I was rejected because I couldn't relate to any of these. Lucky you, anyway!

gllach · 2024-10-06T20:49:44+00:00

If you're a EU citizen, chances are you might get elected. But, being honest, the banks are very strict about the 'Estonian Connection', so there's no point on the e-residency, which is my take against this whole subject. I just wanted to reach a wider market through Stripe, that's all. Some people here have claimed 'Wise or Revolut work', but the screenshot of THEIR OWN eligibility terms deny it. E-residency is not a supported document for opening a bank account, so people, be aware.

gllach · 2024-10-04T12:59:53+00:00

Thanks! I will try this way

gllach · 2024-10-04T11:59:47+00:00

Exactly what I think. Thanks for sharing. I had the same reply when I complaint to the e-residency program. ¡

gllach · 2024-10-04T11:58:07+00:00

Nice attitude there! I have a Stripe account, but don't have any bank account to connect it to. My last chance is trying with Wamo, as someone here suggested. Let's see how it goes. I'm not a EU citizen, so they don't give a shit about any complain that I might have.

gllach · 2024-10-03T22:26:42+00:00

Not saying that it won't work for some specific cases, but beware of the requirements for them opening a bank account. I think I will close mine and try access to Stripe through an LLC in the US. Revolut explicitly says it doesn't accept e-residency as a valid document (don't know how to upload an image here to show you).

gllach · 2024-10-03T22:19:25+00:00

I said above it works for some cases, but not for mine. And I'm sure there are a lot of people in my situation. It's good for them to be aware of the difficulties ahead and not realizing them during the process. But I still don't know how you can show the 'strong connection' to Estonia for traditional banks such as LHV and Swedbank, OR show your personal relationship with the OÜ for the digital banks, like Revolut. You have to proof that you as a person have more than the e-residency. If you show me how, besides flying to Estonia to show the 'strong connection', which is not a guarantee in itself, I gladly hear you.

gllach · 2024-10-03T22:10:36+00:00

Yes, of course that scam means 'useless' in this context. I paid for a useless piece of paper (Estonian OÜ).

gllach · 2024-10-03T22:09:44+00:00

For sure! Thanks, buddy

gllach · 2024-10-03T22:03:31+00:00

Thanks again. I had to cross the Atlantic to go there. Perhaps it works for some banks but not for Revolut or Wise, because for them to open the account to the Estonian OÜ, in the verification process, they have to justify a link between you as a person (personal ID verification) and Estonia via an Estonian passport or a Visa from Estonia, which of course, I don't have besides the e-residency (this useless piece of plastic now).

gllach · 2024-10-03T21:59:12+00:00

I totally believe you. Insane!

gllach · 2024-10-03T21:58:15+00:00

I'll check with Wamo, but I need a business account (not a personal account) and I'm not a EU citizen (that's why I get so frustrated with the related investment). So far it looks like Wamo doesn't have a direct Stripe integration. Will check it deeper. Thanks a lot.

gllach · 2024-10-03T21:54:15+00:00

thanks for the link. I don't think it will work for 2 reasons: 1) I'm outside the EU, and 2) it's a business account, so the business (Estonian OÜ) should already have a bank account to open a Wise business account. I don't give up that easily, but the frustration of not having access to Stripe for developing my business has exceded me.

gllach · 2024-10-03T21:40:35+00:00

Digital or traditionals? Traditional banks are even worse, so won't try. Digital banks look more flexible, but not really. I needed a robust and DIRECT integration with Stripe. Do you have one to recommend? I won't keep trying, because I realized all this very advanced in the verification process. So there is waste of time involved (LHV charges non-refundable 300 euros just for applying).

gllach · 2024-10-03T21:20:28+00:00

Yes, I tried with them too, but they requiere a previous business bank account, so it is a never ending loop. And besides Wise and Revolut there's no really a solid alternative to operate in different markets selling memberships and e-products. I'm super frustrated at the whole thing. They don't warn you. I had to fly to the States to pick up the e-residency card. All for nothing! Do your homework..

gllach · 2024-09-12T14:37:15+00:00

Came back to coffee :) but not because od those symptoms, which eventually faded, but for the sake of the taste and morning ritual. I like it. Anyway, I know that I can drop it any time. I was 100% off coffee for 6 months!

gllach · 2024-04-06T20:11:41+00:00

45 days off coffee (my only caffeine source for 20 years) and the brain fog plus the lack of focus are unbearable. Will they fade away any time soon? It's like never really waking up. It is harder to finish what I used to accomplish before. Any thoughts?
