     @kaia it's really hard to do with the current way taxes are done in germany, when you get stock options as an employee, you have to pay taxes based on a more or less random number that the tax office conjures, even though there's no way for you to turn those options into cash for a few years, maybe ever. I had to take out a loan to pay taxes because of this.
