Hard to be very detailed here without knowing a lot about what you are doing.. However here are some ideas.
1. USA - Stripe for payments and managing subscriptions. They have numerous tools for doing so. Their subscription handling is pretty good at the moment and useful for people who want to cancel etc. The handled processing, fraud etc. Pretty simple to setup with your saas.
2. Talk with an accountant or lawyer for your specifics regarding the state. They differ wildly so you want to make sure you are prepped and handling that from the beginning. Any good accountant should take about an hour to break this all down for you. Worth the $$.
A couple of weeks ago i had a CC go out of date on Spotify when I was on their mobile app. To put a new card in they asked me to go on their desktop page to renew my subscription. They dont take the payments on the apps for this 30% reason. I'm thinking they sideline it there for the same reason.
I personally think some of the community DAO tokens are interesting. For ex, $FWB (friends w benefits) is this membership type community where there are members + workers in a DAO like operation that utilizes a token for governance / membership etc. There are a lot of others popping up & I think in terms of tokens there is some room for improvement but some people are making money actually working in these systems.
Sometimes these memberships are in the forms of NFT(s)/tokens for access & that is interesting. DAOs trying to pool money for causes, that are interesting. It's early, yes.
The problems you write about - specifically the Token swapping id done because there was a problem (taxes).
There have been tracing applications around for years now in this space. They've identified wallets & send micro transactions around to many to distinguish who is who in terms of dark markets, services, bad actors etc. Given the many hacks with wallets and also services selling that data believe me they know more than you are giving them credit.
In terms of the bad actions.. Those who are trying to hide money have known this for years so they are in different currencies that provide better privacy.
I tend to disagree with this sentiment only because our actions in life have consequences. The SV bro club have/had their issues for obvious reasons & I think its more than fair that entrepreneurs that might be interested in funding from so etc should be aware of such a past.
Harvey Weinsteins's new fund is here to help save the world... Should we not mention his past?
Just an idea.. Try the wikipedia model maybe and ask for some donations if you've been using the app. I did this with an old product and it was helpful.
