They tell you to 'pick a niche'. I say follow the electricity in your nervous system. Your zone of genius isn't found through market research. It's encoded in your body's response to truth. Every time you feel truly alive, you're being shown your medicine. My most honest thread:

Every time I see old couples, I always wonder how many times they’ve forgiven each other.

@MettaMatta I got it too last week ! Read it before and look forward to re reading it

Reading this right now. One of the most outstanding novels I’ve ever read. Great literature is a mirror 🪞

@tiagopita kinda true, not even so cheap anymore, lots of foreigners with extractionist mindset moving there

@pornlaw @GreyBearLtd @TimurNegru it's legal in italy

@NikHuno @GreyBearLtd @TimurNegru Its a bit more involved than a toilet. I wouldnt recommend that anyone "live off the grid" with children in Italy. Forget homeschooling your kids in Italy. That doesnt exist here.

Puglia is on fire right now 🔥

@GreyBearLtd @pornlaw @TimurNegru homeschooling is legal in italy anyway tho

@pornlaw @NikHuno @TimurNegru You don’t need to take your kids out of school to live off grid.

@pornlaw @GreyBearLtd @TimurNegru Just need to build a normal toilet

@GreyBearLtd @NikHuno @TimurNegru Just don’t do it if you have children or the state may take your kids away from you and declare that you’re unfit parents… vastoweb.com/2026/04/attual…

rolex makes objectively good watches, but the brand is so closely associated with a kind of status-obsessed braggart who's constantly assessing other people's social positions that it's hard to get into their watches. spiritually painful.

Yeah sure. But again I am also skeptical of infrastructure getting too good. I think it's starting to hurt Mallorca for instance — the airport handles more passangers than Manchester or capitals like Lisbon or Oslo and the island is not that big and the keep expanding the airport. In the summer it's a nightmare. I feel it's one of the appeals of Greece, where some islands are still a bit hard to reach. I think with the increase of efficiency, optimization, digitalization (even something like digital IDs), people will be craving an escape or a relief from this. Overtourism will become more apparent too. Just look at Santorini last summer where people couldn't even walk. So again — if you want to buy property as investment or for a hospitality business that's good on average. But if you want to live there and settle, that's a slightly different story.

Wow interesting..and it's only meant to get better right? Ofc, you never know how long these projects will take due to all the bureaucracy etc. but there are works planned on rail upgrades around Bari, a major road project on the SS106 link to the Ionian corridor, airport upgrades etc.

For anyone wondering about the infrastructure, services, healthcare etc. in Puglia. From someone that has relocated there sometime ago.

not really, I think it's better than Sicily but of course not at the level of Trentino. For my needs, it's perfectly fine. Postal services work well, roads are fine, good airports and train connections. Healthcare is ok, probably need to travel to Rome or Milan for more specialized stuff though. But depends what you need. I am planning to move more off-grid into self-sufficient living so the infrastructure will matter less and less (if anything can be a burden e.g. good airports also means too many tourists etc). but of course if you build a hotel business you want the opposite.

@NikHuno Here's a q for you: do you feel a big difference in infrastructure quality vs Northern Italy and if so, is it a real pain while living there?

@TimurNegru Yes, Italy especially but also Greece

Should I keep posting European properties? Italy, Spain, Portugal or France

@naval Wen access to European investors ? @naval

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone. No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum. Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too. Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund. It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital. And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee. — Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital. Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring. But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line. This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in. Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition. But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital. USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages. It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere. There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction. USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid. Get access here: usvc.com

@nikitabier does @grok recognize the "shitpost" topic?

Ladies and gentlemen, today we're launching one of our biggest changes to 𝕏 Introducing Custom Timelines This feature allows you to pin a specific topic to your home tab. With support for over 75 topics, you can dive deep into your favorite niche on X. It's powered by Grok's understanding of every post with the algorithm's personalization—meaning every timeline is made just for you. And it works even better when it's a topic you already engage with. This was a huge undertaking across many months, so we're excited for you take it for a spin. We're giving early access to Premium subscribers on iOS (and Android coming very soon).

as always the DYOR/do your own research applies, like with any purchase. it's true that with southern mentality there can be a more deliberate omission of important facts, e.g. that the structure is illegal or there are limitations etc. that's why you get a good surveyor & lawyer on your team and generally learn to understand the legal context etc.

@NikHuno @TimurNegru Not at all, it's important to point out this land is bs and real estate in Southern Europe selling to foreigners is FULL of scams with them paying 10-100x more than they should for useless land that they can't do anythign with

You see theses posts a lot: here's some cheap rural land in Portugal, Spain or Italy, what a deal! Americans and Western/Northern Europeans start drooling immediately, imagine having a big piece of farm land with olives or grapes in Southern Europe? We could renovate it and build it into the place of our dreams, and cheap! Who doesn't want a farm these days But then you find out it's bullshit Because it's not like American rural land where you have pretty much full freedom to do whatever you want this, and usually there's even less freedom than in Western/Northern Europe in this case 9 out of 10 times you can't do anything with it because Southern European land is highly protected: it's usually a mix of buildable (in Portugal "urbano") and non-buildable (in Portuguese "rustico") land usually, the buildable part is the house, but even if you'd like to tear it down, you can ONLY rebuild it in the exact same design as how it looked before And the non-buildable land you can literally do nothing with but just look at Say goodbye to your dreams! It's mostly useless land and no you also can't turn it into a hotel or Airbnb unless you are a Southern European local and a member of the local municipality where you can green light any conversions of non-buildable to buildable land or give yourself an Airbnb or hotel license Which is by the way how many people in government here get rich, buy cheap non-buildable land for €50,000, convert it to buildable and sell it to a foreign hotel chain or developer for €1,000,000 or more (a 20x gain at least!) But you need connections or bribe people! Which foreigners can't and won't, because foreigners are new to a country, don't have 40+ years of connections to get stuff done and generally won't bribe So be honest: it's useless land

@TimurNegru @levelsio Pieter is just rage baiting, keep up the good work Tim
