We've actually considered doing this. Why would you like to see it, out of curiosity? Just because it'd be interesting, or in order to better understand why we're taking so long? :-)
+1 for this. I trust you're working hard on these problems, but can't fantom why it takes so long. I'm really curious about what bureaucratic mess is hidden under the hood of currencies.
How about a generalised list of things you need to do for each country.
1) Decide country
2) Hire finance lawyer for that country
3) Deal with banks / APIs
4) Make applications to governments
etc.
Give us some example timeline based on past experience etc for each step, maybe with some anecdotes when Stp X was particularly difficult /easy with country Y.

Both, but mostly the latter. It's been.. how many years since you started? And the whole damn world has wanted to use Stripe HOW bad? :P
.. So yeah. What's taking so long? Why aren't you everywhere already? Anywhere you go, there will be lots and lots of businesses just desperate to use Stripe, right? It would make sense for you to spread everywhere as soon as humanly possible, but you've always been strangely silent about what's keeping you from doing exactly that.
I know it all boils down to: "Because governments are making it difficult for us to start serving new countries". But I do want more details.
