Imagine if the UAE rewarded citizenship to Golden Visa holders who stayed or kept investing through volatility. 1,000 citizenships granted on "merit" = massive signal, a clear reward for resilience, and a loyalty loop that compounds. Global PR win.

@BTCBreadMan Maybe the therapist is a hooker....

My best friend is 36 years old. He’s been seeing a therapist once a week for the past 5 years. I’ve tried explaining to him that this is a stupid waste of his money, but he keeps insisting that it’s necessary for his emotional wellbeing. How can I convince him to give it up?

We track GDP, inflation, everything… Why not: Stay Rate = % of immigrants still there after 1, 3, 5, 10 years = how many stayed ÷ how many arrived Getting people is step 1. The % that stays is where the needle moves.

@TukiFromKL Processing happens on their servers though...no?

🚨 Do you understand what Claude just dropped.. you can now give AI an entire project.. your files.. your instructions.. your context.. and it stays on your machine.. not in the cloud.. not on their servers.. on YOUR computer import an existing project in one click.. or start fresh.. and it remembers everything about that project every time you come back the same week Bernie Sanders grilled AI about stealing your data.. Claude just shipped a feature that keeps everything local.. your files never leave your machine whether that's coincidence or strategy.. the timing is insane

@BTCBreadMan Under the gravel in my danger noodles terrarium.

Where do you hide your Bitcoin seed phrase? Looking for some clever and original ideas.

@WR4NYGov No Soapy Massages though 😓

El Salvador Thailand minus the food

@JAN3com ☠️ R.I.P.

🔴 LATEST: Paraguay's tax authority (DNIT) just escalated financial surveillance. 🇵🇾👁️ Resolution 47 mandates that crypto users exceeding $5,000 in annual volume must report their transaction hashes, public wallets, and personal details.

@dansemperepico How was the line for HM 1864 Baklava?

Went to Din Tai Fung at Dubai Hills Mall for lunch today. 12:45pm. There was a 30 minute wait for a table just like there always is. There will probably be a queue for La Romana ice cream too.

@MyLatinLife Agreed! Also good to pack for daily wear. 3 pairs of golf pants take up the same space and less weight than a single pair of jeans.

The best type of travel pants are golf pants. ⛳ 👖 They are usually a dryfit "tech" material and look like classy dress pants.

Adjustable phone stand. Trail Mix. The days youtube subsriptions downloaded for offline viewing. User/pass for airlines wifi saved in cleartext (or memorized). Data blocking charging cable. Shirt with chest pocket wide enough to hold all of the fams passports. Set of good earbuds to use when headphones get too hot/uncomfortable (if long flight). Pen incase some weird pre entry form gets sprung on you. Backup passport(s). Old school printed documents.

How to prepare for a flight: - sunglasses - online check in - empty water bottle - Nexus / global entry - Priority Pass card (physical) - noise cancelling headphones What else?

@BTCCapitalist21 Khor Fakkan is under-rated.

Khor Fakkan, UAE

@imidaily Great time for them to launch this CBI considering the current escalation in the Middle East. They'll be pushed hard as the Southern Cone WW3 CBI by all marketers.

This was crucial.

@TheMoonCarl Ppsitioning for a citizenship tap?

@thealepalombo Consider a trip down to Salahlah on this or your next trip if time allows

I'm in Oman right now. People call it the "Switzerland of the Middle East" but I'm realizing parallels don't do the place justice. It won't be a new Dubai. And it shouldn't be. Here's the breakdown: → 0% personal income tax, even after 2028 if you earn under ~$109K → Digital nomad visa: ~$3,900/mo requirement, 1-year renewable. Until 2028, full 0% tax → Golden Visa: $520K, 10-year, full family. Under-the-radar Plan B with undervalued real estate → Rent is almost half of Dubai → 5th safest country on Earth → Free zones with 30-year corporate tax exemptions (selected industries) → Path to citizenship in 15 years, something the UAE doesn't offer For pure tax optimization, networking, and infrastructure, the UAE is still the top. Dubai's ecosystem is unmatched. Nothing competes. But not everyone needs the Dubai machine. Remote worker under six figures? Oman gives you GCC proximity, a USD-pegged currency, and 0% tax at a fraction of the cost. Retired? It's warm, safe, cheap, and simple. No hustle culture. A place you actually want to wake up in. Playing the long game? Oman is one of the only GCC countries where naturalization is even possible. The UAE gives you an incredible base, but no passport. Over 15-20 years, that's a completely different asset. Real estate is genuinely undervalued. Waterfront in Muscat costs a fraction of Dubai Marina. If you're building a Plan B, the entry point matters. And then there's the thing nobody talks about enough. The nature, the friendliness, the culture. This isn't just a tax play. It's one of the most beautiful, welcoming countries I've been to. Besides, it's bitcoin aligned with government-backed mining facilities leveraging the low cost of electricity. One hour from Dubai. Same region. Completely different philosophy. I wouldn't be surprised to see a spike in golden visas here as pure plan B option, even for UAE residents.

If you're out that way for a while drive up to Khor Fakkan. There's some great beaches, landscapes, wadis, dams, hiking trails, etc. Dibba Bay, a bit past Khor Fakkan & near the Oman border has a fresh oyster farm with a restaurant where they will pull the oysters right from the bay to your plate.

Fujairah, UAE

@Erikcason Love me some Gigi

The best presentation on Bitcoin: youtu.be/C7ynm0Zkwfk?si…

@TomLeeTracker interesting moment for Saylor to show his ear off.

Saylor says $BTC could fall to $8,000 and $MSTR still wouldn’t face liquidation

Being able to live somewhere by choice is great. Having your calendar periodically hijacked by paperwork is the quiet curse of Plan B/C/D life. For multi-jurisdictional families, far too frequently life pauses for a forced bureaucratic pilgrimage, an international trip not because you want to be there, but because a date on a document says you must. It’s like an administrative presence tax: flights, time, and disruption, paid simply to stand in front of someone so a box can be ticked. At heart, it’s a proof-of-existence ritual: showing up in person so a system can confirm you are, in fact, still alive. You chose the place. You didn’t choose when you have to drop everything to prove it. The hassle is undeniable. But there’s a quiet reminder buried in it. You’re alive enough to be administratively confirmed.

Ha, welcome to 90% of immigration convos on the internet "I heard from a guy who knows a lawyer who said…". I should have asked what you've heard. It'd still be valuable to hear because you're probably (presumably) hearing from people closer to the process than us hobbyists, but I get the hesitation as well. No sweat.

@BitNomadic @MyLatinLife I could tell you what I am told but since I haven’t done it personally, what good would my insight be?

$200k bank deposit in Dominican Republic can even fast track citizenship

@imidaily @MyLatinLife Any insight as to pressence requirements are in reality?

@MyLatinLife Yes, you can apply for naturalization after just six months on the investor residency. Processing time supposedly 8 months.
