The Cyprus success story gets posted. The failed relocation usually doesn’t. No one writes the thread about: 🚩 home-country tax exposure 🚩 exit tax problems 🚩 bad residency evidence 🚩 sloppy timing But that’s where the real money gets lost.

The internet is about to be flooded with AI tax advice. Most of it will sound correct. Some of it will be completely wrong. None of it will be liable. If your structure fails, you don’t sue the blog. You pay the bill.

@amarkmanpeters @AndreasSteno Smart move 💪🏻

@AndreasSteno Same. But Cyprus for me!

To put it simply: I almost solely invest in the US, but I would always prefer the quality of life in Europe! Investing in the US and living in Europe is my sweetspot.

Peter Thiel on Working With People You Don't Like: “Many seem to think it’s a sacrifice necessary for making money. But taking a merely professional view of the workplace, in which free agents check in and out on a transactional basis, is worse than cold: it’s not even rational. Since time is your most valuable asset, it’s odd to spend it working with people who don’t envision any long-term future together. If you can’t count durable relationships among the fruits of your time at work, you haven’t invested your time well—even in purely financial terms.”

Ai will never be worse than it is right now.

@skyzer4ever 10 math lessons, hope the Easter break was worth it 🐰😊

Being out of AI loop for 1 weekend feels same as missing 1 math lesson in school. If you missed it, the next lesson, you already don't know what the teacher is talking about.

You went 50x. Congratulations! You just made your government an awful lot of money. You self-custody. You swap. You take the full risk. But self-sovereignty stops at the trade if you're still living in a country that wasn't built for how you earn. The next step is making sure your jurisdiction matches the principles you already apply to your money. Most crypto people are still ultimately employees. Of a jurisdiction they never chose.

@ChainGab And $folks on $algo the most underrated DeFi play?

Is Algorand the best most underrated blockchain?

@hartasatu @Dagnum_PI This should be good for $folks on $algo too

@Dagnum_PI Algorand is way ahead of everyone 🔒

TIL: Google Quantum AI paper confirms Bitcoin & Ethereum are currently secure. Algorand already running post-quantum Falcon signatures in production since 2025. Staying ahead by design. $ALGO

Listen. The world isn't going to stabilize. That's the point. Crisis hits. Asset prices crash. The people already positioned buy everything cheap. Economy recovers. The gains go to them - not the ones who were waiting for things to calm down first. It happens every single time. Most people wait. That's the trap. Right jurisdiction, right assets, right structure. Before the next upswing makes it obvious.

The options for moving your tax residency and securing EU residency are closing - quietly and fast. Americans now account for 30% of all global investment migration applications. Inquiries for EU residency programmes are up 67% in two years. But supply is shrinking. Portugal tightened. Malta shut its main programme. Romania cancelled before launch. 🇨🇾 Cyprus remains one of the few doors still open. Tax residency with 60 days a year. Permanent EU residency through property investment - maintained with just one visit every two years. That window won’t last forever.

@e_stradella @itsolelehmann Malta has 0% on long-term crypto gains - but the structure is complex, expensive, and honestly most relevant for iGaming companies.

@itsolelehmann Why not Malta? The weather is similar, don't really need a car, I know it's small, but when it's starting to feel claustrophobic you can buy a dirt-cheap flight for a weekend almost anywhere in europe.

i've lived in cyprus for the last 5 years here's my (more nuanced) view of pros and cons: the pros: 1. people are insanely friendly. people genuinely talk to you in cafes and everyone is SUPER sweet to our baby 2. tax status is the best option in europe, both in terms of tax rate and flexibility (you only need to be there 60days/year) 3. weather is elite from april - june and september - december 4. there are few distractions, it's a great place to lock in, work out and work (but more in the cons section..) 5. living costs are decent (though been rising A LOT). 6. growing expat community (mainly germans in paphos, more russians in limassol) 7. slowly growing availability of organic food sources (still in its infancy tohugh) 8. pro business mindset (compared to other european countries, not to US lol) 9. I love the sea in cyprus (great colour and very clear!) , and they also have mountains too hike in troodos mountains 10. easy and fast to get any doctors appointment (and cheap!) 11. very safe, I would always leave my backpack with my car keys out in the open while swimming etc. low crime rate is awesome. 12. everyone speaks english! and very well. now let's get to the cons: 1. it's very hard to maintain friendships with the expats because MANY of them will be traveling outside of cyprus for 70% of the year. I personally want a place where most peopel stay permanently, not only a couple of months. It's ok if your 24 and nomading (which im not). 2. the sun is extreme in juli, august. especially with a small child thats kinda fucked and hard to navigate (UV index 12...) 3. it often still feels like 2018. in a good AND a bad way. there's not much to do compared to other places where I lived before. 4. you need a car (despite what people been telling you on X). sidewalks are often times fucked up, especially if you are pushing a stroller around 5. culture, music, art scene is extremely small. I love these things so it does matter to me. 6. there is no real big city in cyprus. something i'm genuinely missing 7. there's close to 0 significant companies here, no good events, tech ecosystem is very very small (despite what people try to tell you on here). on a world scale, cyprus doesn't matter at all 8. a lot of "entrepreneurs" coming here are coaches or actually employed to someone. I have met 10x more interesting entrepreneurs in big european cities in a days vs in 6 months in cyprus. there are some but it's far from a "tech hub". might be skill issue on my end lol 9. there's a lot of dodgy shit going on with casinos, russian money in cyprus. but I guess that happens in many countries 10. its an island, so everything needs to get imported. many shops don't ship to cyprus. there is no amazon (only if you order from a different country + pay the shipping 11. cyprus is very far away from the pulse of culture, it mostly feels like every trend is happening 5 years later here 12. lots of mold in almost EVERY house. cheap build quality and a lot of cookie cutter ugly investment properties 13. very close to the wars in the middle east 14. there no great architecture in any city my tldr: we're looking at other options in europe right now, but we might stay here and just move to limassol but a kind of house I want is probably 6-9k/month so it's expensive af there (over 2x-3x from paphos) personally, I mainly miss the vibe and drive of a more metropolitan city but that's just me! the main factor I don't like is how so many people only stay a couple of months in cyprus, making it hard to compound and friendships but people like @marclou moving here def make me want to stay more :D

🤣

The group chat gets loud. Some dream out loud about what they'll do when they sell. Others suggest getting together for the first time ever to celebrate. Euphoria is here. But nobody is selling. They know swapping triggers a taxable event - so they hold off. "Anyone know about crypto tax here?" asks anon. And a dozen people who don't know your situation weigh in. That's not tax advice. That's a top signal. I've watched this over and over again since 2015. The time to structure and relocate to a crypto friendly jurisdiction is now. Before the gains. Before the emotional freeze. Please don't be the person asking when it's already too late.

@Rothmus @elonmusk Not in Cyprus 😏

The Sovereign Individual called it decades ago: high-tax governments will turn nasty as their revenue base shrinks. AI is already disrupting hundreds of millions of jobs. Many will lose income and demand more government support - just as the welfare state starts to crack from rising costs and eroding tax revenue. Expect more coercion: hostage-taking tactics, arbitrary rules, and aggressive citizenship-based taxation to keep wealth trapped (US style). Low-tax competitors are winning the race: Cayman Islands, Puerto Rico, Cyprus 👀, El Salvador, and other crypto-friendly spots are courting talent with low costs and high value. Sovereignty isn’t given. It’s chosen.
