China's crude imports just fell to their lowest level since 2016 - down 41% year over year. At first glance, this sounds like economic slowdown or a crisis. But the real story is far more important. The conflict was only half the reason. Beijing didn't scramble to replace lost barrels. It drew from reserves, cut refinery runs, and let years of planning do the heavy lifting. This wasn't a shortage. It was a stress test. For over a decade, China has quietly prepared for a world where imported oil can't be taken for granted. NEV adoption has surged, permanently reducing gasoline demand. Coal-to-liquids capacity provides an emergency domestic source of diesel and jet fuel. Strategic reserves buy time when supply chains break. The lesson goes beyond China. Energy security isn't just about producing more oil. It's about giving yourself options before a crisis arrives. China may have just shown what that future looks like.

The wealthy are voting with their passports. 142,000 millionaires will relocate globally in 2025 - the highest number ever recorded. And Dubai isn't just on the list. It's #1. UAE: +9,800 net millionaires USA: +7,500 Switzerland: +3,000 Meanwhile the UK is watching an estimated 16,500 millionaires walk out the door - the worst outflow of any country on earth. I was on stage in Dubai recently talking about exactly this shift, and the room went quiet when I put that UK number up. Because it's not really about tax. Everyone assumes that's the whole story. It's tax + security + infrastructure + lifestyle, all stacked in the same city, at the same time. That combination is rare. Most places win on one or two of those. Dubai is currently winning on all four simultaneously - which is exactly why capital is moving here faster than anywhere else on the planet. The countries losing millionaires aren't losing them to one rival. They're losing them to a category of place that didn't really exist 10 years ago. Worth paying attention to where you're building your base right now - because this migration isn't slowing down.

Global Wealth Is Hunting Dubai Luxury Property Right Now - I’ll Show You How x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

After enough deals, you notice something. The property matters less than who's buying it. Nationality shapes almost everything. What they look for. How fast they move. What they're actually trying to get out of it. 1. Take Indian buyers. They're some of the most active in the market, and most of the time they're circling off-plan. Makes sense once you see why - the payment plans match how they think about money, spread the cost out, let the property grow in value while it's still being built. A lot of them are quietly doing 2 things at once too, buying a home for the family and an investment in the same purchase, and they don't mind sitting on it for years if that's what it takes. 2. Russians and Eastern Europeans are almost the opposite. Cash, mostly. Ready properties only - villas, townhouses, communities that already exist, not a tower that's still a hole in the ground. And once they've made up their mind, that's it, they move. What they're actually buying is privacy and security as much as square footage. 3. British and European buyers take the longest to get to yes. They'll research a property to death before committing, and they're thinking about lifestyle and tax exposure in equal measure. Ready homes, family-friendly areas, nothing under construction if they can help it - off-plan makes this group nervous in a way it doesn't for anyone else on this list. 4. Chinese buyers have been coming back hard lately. Cash buyers, mostly interested in the newer master communities or the higher end of the market. They negotiate directly, no games, and they usually already know exactly what they want before they sit down. 5. Americans are still a small slice of this market but growing. And they're the ones who'll ask about the yield, the service charges, the exit strategy - all of it, in detail - before they'll take the conversation any further. Understand who you're sitting across from, and you already know more about how the deal's going to go than the listing could ever tell you.

Not so long ago Saylor sold 32 bitcoins! That broke the internet and puzzled everyone - including me. Here's why. 👇 Quick primer first, for anyone new to this. Strategy - formerly MicroStrategy - isn't really run like a normal company anymore. It's a machine for buying Bitcoin. They raise money by selling stock and a special kind of stock called "preferred shares," which pay investors a fixed dividend, kind of like a bond. That cash buys Bitcoin. More Bitcoin makes the company look stronger, which makes it easier to raise even more money, which buys more Bitcoin. Repeat. It's why they now hold 847,363 coins - the biggest corporate Bitcoin stash on the planet. The catch: those preferred shares need dividends paid, on time, every time. That's the part that got tested. Here's what happened. Strategy needed cash for a dividend payment. Sold a tiny sliver of Bitcoin to cover it. Out of 847,363 coins. People acted like the "never sell" promise had collapsed. It didn't. It flexed, once, under pressure, and held. Then JPMorgan's own analysts said the quiet part out loud: Saylor isn't the real threat to Bitcoin. Not even close. The bank everyone expected to bury Saylor just handed him the best headline he could've asked for. Here's why it matters. Strategy bought roughly $13.7 billion in Bitcoin this year. That's about 70% of all net Bitcoin demand JPMorgan tracked. One company. Nearly three-quarters of the demand. You don't build that by panicking over a dividend. You build that with conviction most investors don't have. Could Strategy manage cash better? Sure. JPMorgan wants a bigger buffer - two to three years instead of seventeen months. Fair point. Doesn't touch the core thesis. Saylor didn't blink. He adjusted. There's a difference.

It's absolutely WILD him admitting that. Funny how fast the leader changes in just a few months.

@Kalshi If it was anyone but Eon i'd have to disagree, anything is possible when it's him

Met a guy in April who bought a villa without setting foot in Dubai first. Video call, wire transfer, done. His family arrived 6weeks later. That's who's actually buying at the top of this market. Not a local. Not someone flipping paper before completion. Someone who'd already decided to leave wherever they were - the house was just the last box to tick. There are more of him than people think. The UAE's on track to add close to 9,800 net new millionaires this year, more than anywhere else on earth. A lot of that is coming straight out of the UK, which is set to lose over 16,500 over the same stretch. Here's the thing about that buyer - he wasn't comparing five villas over six months. He'd already moved on, mentally. The house just had to catch up. Which meant it had to be finished, not a render. Staff quarters separated properly, because his last house had that and he wasn't taking a step back. And it had to feel lived-in already, because he wasn't buying a house, he was buying his kid's first day at a new school going smoothly. Almost nothing new being built in Dubai is built for that guy. New towers take years. He doesn't have years. That's the gap the villa strategy actually fills. Not because renovating old houses is a clever trick - because it's the only way to hand someone a finished home fast enough for a buyer who's already gone. This is Dubai Real.

Historically, luxury transformation projects in Dubai have returned 40-90% annually. I spent months finding out if that number was real. It is. But only in one lane, and almost nobody's looking at it. 🧵👇 Dubai's full of villas from the 90s and 2000s. Good bones, unbeatable locations, 2003-kitchen interiors. Nobody with real money wants to buy one of those and manage a renovation themselves. So the ones who can pay top dollar just... wait for someone else to do it first. Buy it outdated. Fix it properly. Sell it finished. There are 4 operators in the entire city who can actually pull that off at the level buyers expect. I met one of them on site at a property mid-renovation and asked why he turns down more deals than he takes. His answer: the buyer isn't choosing between three nice villas. They're relocating, sometimes with three days' notice from a passport office in another country, and if the staff quarters aren't separated from the family wing, the deal is dead before price even comes up. Doesn't matter how good the marble is. That's the part people miss. This isn't a buyer comparing granite countertops. It's someone who needs their kids in school by Monday and won't compromise on the one detail that happens to be wrong for them. And there are a lot more of these buyers than people realize. Roughly 130,500 millionaires now call the UAE home . The number's nearly doubled over the past decade. This year alone, close to 9,800 more are expected to relocate here, more than any other country on earth. Meanwhile the UK is on track to lose over 16,500 millionaires in the same 12 months. That's not a coincidence. That's capital moving from where it's taxed and squeezed to where it isn't. Every one of those relocating families needs somewhere to actually live. Not a plot. Not a render. A finished house. I saw the top of this market myself - met both the builders and the ideal customer. I built the Dubai Real series to sit across from these guys myself before I'd tell anyone to put money near this. Not a highlight reel. You don't need $50 million to get in. The Luxury Property Investment Circle starts at $50k If you want to see how I actually vet these - comment below. This is Dubai Real.

A different type of buyer has been quietly entering the Dubai property market. They’re not buying because they want to chase the highest possible rental yield. They’re not looking for a quick flip. They’re buying because they want options. For many of these buyers, Dubai property is less about making the biggest return and more about having a safety net. A property in Dubai gives them: - A place they can move to if needed - A potential residency pathway - An asset in a stable market - Something they can access and manage internationally Their priorities are different. They ask questions like: "How easy will this be to sell if I need to?" "Is this area going to hold its value in 5–10 years?" "Can I manage this property remotely?" "Does it give me flexibility?" They’re usually less interested in chasing every extra percentage of yield. Instead, they tend to prefer established communities with strong infrastructure, good connectivity, and proven demand. Many of them lean towards ready properties because they want something tangible - a home they can use, rent out, or sell if circumstances change. What’s interesting is that they often don’t think of themselves as investors. They think of it as having a backup plan. And that’s why many of these buyers are some of the most patient and long-term focused people in the market. Dubai isn’t just an investment for them. It’s their second home.
