@samuel_leeds Not that it will help with the technique but...I suggest replacing those $20 gloves.

Whatever’s happening out there, I’ll handle it stronger in here.

Dubai is crazy. Can't tell if the sound is Iranian drones or Italian SVJs.

@thealepalombo 90 days of physical presence does not give you an international tax residency. So many people fall for this false information.

The undisputed capital of capital in 2026 is the UAE. The UAE attracted 9,800 millionaires in net inflow in 2025, more than any other country on earth. The truth is that Dubai has changed a lot since 2020. I spent 4 years in Dubai. Built ventures there. Watched the tax landscape shift and the enforcement tighten. But I left. Not because Dubai doesn't work. It works spectacularly. But only for specific profiles. And if you're considering relocating there in 2026, it's crucial to understand if it will be a fit for you with updated information. Firstly, the tax landscape shifted fundamentally since June 2023. 9% corporate tax on profits above AED 375,000 (~$102,000). Under the threshold? Still zero. This is where the real play lives. The enforcement tightened. The Federal Tax Authority ramped up inspections. E-invoicing expected around 2026. Free zone 0% tax benefits are far narrower than most guides claim – consulting, software development, digital services don't qualify. All of these changes need to be accounted for. And then there's the Golden Visa. Most people think of it as just a long-term visa. Ten years, property investment, nice to have. That framing isn't accurate anymore, in my view. The Golden Visa has become one of the most flexible residency instruments on earth. And it's appreciating in value while every competing program closes. The key feature: no six-month entry requirement. You're valid for ten years without needing to set foot in the country at all. It becomes a passive residency anchor you can activate whenever you need it. 90 days of physical presence plus property ownership gets you a Tax Residency Certificate. That's three months in the UAE to establish tax residency. The real value isn't just that it makes you a tax resident – it's that you have ten years to activate that option, at need. And the timing matters. The supply of global residency programs is shrinking. The UAE Golden Visa becomes relatively more valuable simply by staying open. I There's a lot more to cover so I wrote a definitive guide for 2026: This is a fairly comphensive breakdown of the real tax structures and how to use them (freelance visa vs. corporate LLC), the Golden Visa framing I think more accurate, and the honest costs that made me leave. By the end, you'll know exactly if Dubai makes sense for you in 2026. I am also thinking of writing more technical deep dives. Which topic would you like to see expanded?

@celestialbe1ng @alecttrona How many occasional cigarettes a month?

@alecttrona Same

“Do you want to try my watermelon-flavoured vape?” My honest reaction:

@miquelgirones1 That is an extremely risky strategy and a very common information trap that people fall into and then get taxed retrospectively.

If you’re paying taxes in Europe, you’re getting robbed. 🇦🇹 Austria → 55% 🇫🇷 France → 55.4% 🇩🇰 Denmark → 55.9% The workaround is simple: 🌍 set tax residency in a 0% country 🇪🇺 live 5 months + 3 weeks in EU country #1 🇪🇺 live 5 months + 3 weeks in EU country #2 Stay under 183 days everywhere → no tax residency triggered. That’s how you live in Europe without paying taxes. Comment “TAX” and I’ll send you the full structure.

@okaythenfuture Tell me you don't live in Dubai/you're new in Dubai without telling me that...

Dubai by mid century will likely have the same cultural presence and economic dominance that New York City occupied in the 1960s. It will be seen as the quintessential crossroads of the world, the de facto EMEA hub(usurping London/Paris’s role), and also one of the primary Asian gateways. People will be fighting to live there, but unlike now the doors won’t be as open. It doesn’t look like that now, but just extrapolate the current trends. Dubai is fundamentally open in a way that no other first world zone is, It’s open to practically everyone and it continues to gain trust as a high performance zone both for balling winners and strivers, and it also takes pride in its cosmopolitanism and parallel societies while still maintaining order, If western liberals were smart they would actually toast Dubai as the climax of their vision, But alas they are retarded.

@MrOverpaid 7k/month? Instant ramen + a tent on the dunes.

Dubai is NOT expensive !!

@dotkrueger Are there any chart gymnastics that would forecast a bearish BTC macro downtrend?

The core argument for Bitcoin boils down to two charts. The first chart is the broad world Money supply, which is now 120 Trillion for the top 7 currencies, and 150 Trillion overall. This metric is doubling every 10 years. 1/3

@doriginaltiara @real_lord_miles @AskPerplexity What's your take on this?

@real_lord_miles Yes. I think it’s more UK specific. According to Grok at least.

I had a crazy call with the tax authorities today. It went something like this “Hello Lord Routledge, I’m calling to ask about your tax residency status bla bla bla” “I’m not tax resident of England so therefore I don’t pay income tax in England” “Okay have you spent more than 90 days in any country?” (If you do, you fall under the tax residency of that country) “Yes” *sounds like she caught me” ahh which country? >:) “Afghanistan” …..*pause on the line* “Afghanistan?” 😯 “Yes” “Okay do you have any proof you are intending to pay your taxes in Afghanistan?” 😏 “You want me to pay my taxes to the Taliban and sanctioned individuals” Silence “Uhhh” 😟 “Do the Afghanistan tax authorities corporate with British tax authorities, do you have anyone who speaks Pashto?” Silence “We’ll get back to you on this matter Lord Routledge” *click* Lord Miles does not concern himself with the tax authorities. I don’t pay income tax

@doriginaltiara @real_lord_miles @grok what's your take on this?

@nocontextroyco @TheNotoriousMMA

@MacroMate8 I've lived in all of the crypto hotspots and at the end of the day, with a bit of work, London is the best city in the world (besides New York).

@charlesmiller_7 How do you make this look like it's a picture from a book?

@DFitpreneur These are literally the least effective exercises you could do.
