@kimmonismus Germany is 🗑️

Flying cars feel so futuristic. What China has over Germany in automobile production is the willingness to try new things and to take creative paths.

BREAKING🚨: Armed with rifles, two suspects just pulled off a bold $1.8 million heist on a Brinks armored truck in Philadelphia. They escaped clean this morning.

@PhantomStays How much is your group to teach me the ways? I spend 100k a month on my Amex gold

Euro biz owners still not abusing the fck out of the US credit are either misinformed or brain dead. Here is a breakdown into why as a high spending foreigner ($20k+/mo), you NEED to be leveraging a US Amex (or Chase, Citi, Cap 1, etc). Fly first class for free, borrow free money, blitz scale ur biz, live good. + why your trash 1.5% cash back Mercury card will never compare. 1️⃣ The Power of a US Amex for EU Entrepreneurs If you have a US LLC, you can access US credit cards.. which means: ✅ 4x Higher point multipliers than EU banks ✅ Better travel perks (lounge access, upgrades, status) ✅ Insane signup bonuses ✅ Lines of credit 10x higher than your home country will ever offer ✅ The ability to transfer points to more airline partners for 5-10x better value With the right strategy, & $20k-$30k/month or more in expenses, you could be flying first class for free, indefinitely. 2️⃣ The Right Way to Earn Points (and why EU Banks suck at It) Most EU business cards give 1x points per € spent. US Amex? 4-5x points on key categories. With a US Amex Business Gold, you earn: ✅ 4x points on ads & software ✅ 5.16x when you factor in welcome bonuses In 2024, I used $202,500 in business spend to redeem 810,000 points, for SEVENTEEN biz class flights. That’s a 26% cash back rebate when redeemed properly. 3️⃣ Stop Wasting Points, Here’s How to Redeem for 7x+ Value If you’re booking flights through the Amex travel portal, you’re getting robbed. 💀 1 cent per point is garbage. Instead: 🔹 Transfer to airline partners like Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Avianca 🔹 Hunt for sweet spots (certain routes offer 3-5x better value) Examples: ✈️ Singapore Airlines Business Class (JFK → Bali) Cash Price: $12,000 for 2 tickets What I Paid: 176,000 points + $100 taxes Savings: $11,900 (98%) ✈️ Emirates Business Class (MIA → DXB) Cash Price: $6,000 What I Paid: 108,000 points + $90 taxes Savings: $5,910 (98%) 4️⃣ The 4 Step Formula for Free First-Class Flights (If u want to unlock this as a Euro-born Owner) ⓵ Set Up a US LLC This gives you access to US business credit cards if done right Work with any online provider or the Phantom Stays legal team. ② Get a US Amex Business Gold We can introduce you to our Amex Business team who specializes in setups for foreigners. Earn 4x points on ads, & software ⓷ Transfer Points to Airlines Instead of Booking in the Portal Air France, Air Canada, and Avianca are gold mines for redemptions if you know what you are looking for. ⓸ Stack it with Phantom Rates for 90% Off Hotels First-class flights are great, but why pay full price for hotels? Points don't go that far for hotels in most cases. Instead of redeeming points at a bad rate for hotels, buy nightly rooms with "Phantom rates." Think $1,000/night Ritz for only $150 per night Earn MORE points on stays (I earn about 50% back on whatever cash price I pay, in points), fueling the cycle for future "free" stays. 5️⃣ You’re Leaving Money on the Table If you’re a Euro biz owner with a US LLC and you don’t have a US Amex, you’re missing out on: 🚀 Free first-class flights 🏨 Eye-popping spend limits 💰 Huge tax advantages (0% in some cases) Want in? Helping serious entrepreneurs spending $20k+ per month get set up. DMs are open. Like + reply "US Amex" & I will DM you to help you get setup. Stop overpaying for travel.

@iamshackelford Ahhhhh I’ll be in Phuket or I’d be there

Guangzhou in May. Speaking at this one. Not a stage full of pitches. A room of 100+ operators actually building 7-9 figure brands. Bestfulfill put this together and ngl - they built something worth showing up for. I'm going deep on subscription, scaling, and what actually drives retention beyond the first purchase. Winning the first sale is the easy part. What it takes to build a customer base that keeps coming back and spends more.. That's the real game. The location is the strategy. Guangzhou. Canton Fair. Same trip. Two days of growth - acquisition, creative, scaling spend. Then you walk out standing next to the factories building the products you're selling. Most founders are trying to solve a media buying problem when they actually have a supply chain problem. This trip forces you to see both at the same time. That's not an accident. That's leverage. May 2-3. Guangzhou. Secure your seat → bestfulfill.com/mastermind

Only in China can I leave a factory at 5pm and be on a plane at 9pm and get to another factory 6 hours away by train and arrive at another factory at 9am and fully tour and have lunch with the owners and then be on another plane back to Shanghai at 3pm

@cormachayden_ Yes but if that’s how you live by how are you doing this life maxing from AU? Simply put you can’t be

win by setting a pace that crushes your competition's will to fight

@TaylorOgan @ApoStructura @grok You’re also referencing hyper edge cases referring to a specific part of residential real estate prices vs average costs which was the man principle of this conversation

@dtcdavid_ @ApoStructura @grok You thought 25% was 1-2%, so I think your math was just off, and you stay outside of the nice parts when you visit Shenzhen

How is China real You’re telling me I can book a 100miles high speed rail (<40m) 1st class ticket for $13? Book a night at a Shangri La for $89?

@MaxxChewning @noahkagan If I see this in a store I’ll grab them all and throw them behind some chips

@noahkagan What’s crazy is this is an old distributor of ours that is doing this lmao. Bold strategy

Ouch. Talk about blatant brand rip off.

@thetahirahmed Seems like Tahir is copying

Scout is more accurate and less expensive than Oasis And remind me who's copying who's content? Happy to settle this in the octagon, loser donates $5,000 to charity

@thetahirahmed Which app came out first? This is easily disputed

@TaylorOgan @ApoStructura @grok I live in Shanghai and I’ve been to Shenzhen many times so idk 🤷‍♂️ you must have access to direct CCP data beyond DS and Qwen

Housing is, by far, the most expensive aspect of life in Chinese cities. Shenzhen is 25% higher, as of the most recent data. Gronk is citing user-reported data that no Chinese use. The Chinese discuss this all the time on social media, super well known. Shocking that you don’t know about it if you live in China.

What are the best payment processors for Shopify stores? I don’t trust Shopify

@haugejostein Have you tapped into healthcare and the differences because from what I’ve seen first hand is that even with all the flaws the American system has it’s still exponentially better

I've now visited three provinces and two municipalities in China, and based on what I've seen, there's no clear gap in quality of life between the West and China. Some things are generally better in the West: air quality, real wages, work-life balance. Some things are generally better in China: infrastructure, urban modernity, safety. Overall, the gap that many Westerners assume exists has largely closed.

@pepsxiv @cormachayden_ Exactly - I never understood the point of this

@cormachayden_ well this is why you don't post revenue good luck

not one to focus on copycats, would rather build heads down, but things are getting out of control apps are blatantly stealing our app screens, content and creators and lying to users case 1) macropal - ripped our screenshots exactly - app doesn't even match screens - directly poaching our creators

@TaylorOgan @ApoStructura @grok L - of course we are comparing average costs that’s what this was about. Now your breaking out edge cases to safe grace lol

Um, that’s 25% more. If you’re comparing average consumer costs, Shanghai is slightly more expensive. But if you look at where people with money actually live, Shenzhen is tighter, has higher income density, less land, and more extreme pricing in its best areas (nicest homes in Shenzhen are far nicer than in Shanghai). So for a comparable high-end lifestyle, Shenzhen is far more expensive. Shanghai hotels are more expensive because there are way more overnight tourists in Shanghai. Shenzhen wages having way fatter right tail is a major reason.

@TaylorOgan @ApoStructura @grok @grok What is the average sqm cost for a house/apartments in Shenzhen compared in Shanghai? Include the difference as a percentage.

@TaylorOgan @ApoStructura @grok The conversation is regarding trains and hotels ie normal cost of living. Yet you’re showing a single data point lol not to mention even if you’re correct about SQM being higher in Shenzhen since when did 1-2% mean by far more expensive?

@dtcdavid_ @ApoStructura @grok

@TaylorOgan @ApoStructura @grok Swallow your pride dude - Deepseek and Qwen both say Shanghai is more but you’re trying to say Shenzhen is by far more expensive. Geez you must be a nightmare to work for if you can’t even admit your wrong here lmao 🤣

@Aku_700 Kill her

Indiana mom of 7 accused of offering her 7-month-old daughter for s*x to a man on Snapchat in exchange for $400 32-year-old Morgan Stapp denied sending the message, but police said it was sent from her phone at her home Stapp reportedly sent three photos of her infant daughter with the message, “U can f*** her for 400$. Half now rest after. I’ll send my address. I do live alone, and her dad is not in the picture.” Snapchat flagged the message to authorities. Ten days later, FBI agents arrived at her home She was booked into Marion County Jail on July 8, held on $100,000 bail

@Creatextravel Million

Day 4 of scaling to $1M a month in 30 days Will probably do $15k today minimum Using Claude code instead of shopify makes the ui superior, aov is over $120 some customers spending $170 with the cascading upsells. Going to be launching a community on exactly how I’m doing this at the end of the 30 days If you want to be on the wait list comment “million” for the super sauce
