Be aware of these consequences if you build a brand with your personal name:
💸 If you ever decide to sell it, it'll be much harder
🙋♂️ You can delegate tasks, but the content might lose its value if your personal touch is missing
🚀 Harder to partner with someone

🇵🇹 Great timing, moved my residency to Portugal just yesterday 💪
My tax advisor calmed me down.
Everyone moving here until the end of the year will be eligible to get NHR.
🇵🇹 Portugal just announced the NHR program to attract foreigners will permanently end on January 1, 2024
There's a last chance to get in if you're a 🇪🇺 European citizen and you have about 90 days left to go through the process after which it's too late
rebase.co/portugal
Existing NHR holders are grandfathered in and nothing will change for them, that means if you get it now you'll have NHR status for 10 years even after it ends in 2024
Not enough time for non-EU or US citizens unfortunately as their process takes ~4 months usually

On the positive side, the 🇪🇺 EU has the biggest possible growth in customer satisfaction. Because it's starting from the lowest possible point, so there is some room to grow 😆

💬 Today, I added Text-To-Speech voice to my investing guide. It sounds quite close to a human voice:

I created this audio using the Text-to-Speech from Google. With it, you can translate thousands of pages of text for free.

I used my Revolut debit card to book multiple cars on Turo. You get the car that is in the photo, and you chat with the person who will hand over your car. I did this many times, and I loved it.
I wish Turo would be available in more countries around the world.

Before ChatGPT:
1) research using google
2) StackOverflow threads, blogs, and learning from GitHub code
3) build
4) iterate
1) ask what I want to build
2) review options, and code
3) iterate
Sometimes even zero googling and code are needed. I’m so much faster now!

The housing prices exploded and the long-term rental grew much slower. Those two will come closer to each other. The quick fix for investors is to do short-term rentals. This way you can change your prices almost on a daily basis and match the inflation.

I think there are two things to think about:
1) personal primary tax residency
I think having the tax residency where you like to live, not just because of some tax advantages. But of course, not bad if they are some benefits!
2) country of the biz to make it easy to run it
Ideally, you have your biz with one of the top-ranked countries to get as little distraction from the bureaucracy as possible. Hopefully aligned with the country of the tax residency.
Not easy to find the balance and it is a moving target.

Some things I've changed in the last 10 years. Gradually though, step by step. And year after year. Habits are the hardest to modify.

How to get better at writing?
✍️ Well, writing helps
📚 Read a lot. And preferably books.
⏱ Consistency. Writing every day a little will keep you getting better over time.

It's very smart of @elonmusk to go after the worldwide internet revenue using Starlink (1 Trillion dollars a year 🤭).
The latest iPhones come with the technology already enabled for emergency calls. And Tesla's Pi 5G phone will have a satellite antenna.
Do you think we will get satellite internet on our phones soon?

I like the super nice UX of @Airtable. But the game-changer is their API.

Hungary's corp tax is the lowest in the EU, only 9% but given their 27% sales tax and unfavorable bureaucracy, I can not recommend it. Not even when you speak Hungarian 🙈
Looks like US or Singapore are still the best options in overal terms and doing business scores.

Experimented some time with Mapbox, and I was not satisfied with the curves. So I draw the lines in Affinity Designer on my own. Much better now. 🎨
My favorite flight travel visualizations are from @polarsteps and @levelsio. Both are based on Mapbox.
Does someone know a similar project which can be embedded or used for my own projects?

NHR was not the reason for us to move in the first place. We fell in love with Portugal.
But fewer digital nomads are moving in the future for sure 🤦♂️

I'm a huge fan of emojis where you have no control over the UI (text messages, Twitter, etc.).
Reasons not to use them in your app:
🎨 look different on every device
👀 distract and might not fit well with UI colors and design

Insane! Just tried the zoom-out feature of Midjourney 5.2
1) living room
2) zoom out 2x
3) another zoom out 2x
1. First, you need to create the images.
• In Midjourney: You need to be on v5.2. You can check it by entering “/settings”.
Select v5.2. Now type “/imagine” and enter your prompt.
Once created, upscale (“U”) the image that you like the most.
In your upscale picture, you can now select the Zoom that you want (1.5x, 2x, or Custom).
Repeat the process to keep zooming out.

My view on bubbles: 98% of the traders will make the first 2% rich. When a bubble bursts most of them won't be happy. 🎰
Let's say your Uber driver gives you investment recommendations. Do you think you'll be in the first 2% or rather in the 98% of the game? 🤔

It's incredible how fast you can adapt when you leave your comfort zone. Lived now for two weeks in a van (4,5sqm) and moved to a tiny little hotel room in Paris for a few nights (11sqm). It feels like a penthouse now. And wow, private bathroom again 🤭
