Let me be honest about Dubai. No income tax. Zero. You keep everything you earn. Safest country on earth - Numbeo 2025. Crime index 16. London is 45. Paris is 50. Sun 365 days a year. The city never sleeps. Infrastructure that makes European capitals look like they’re still in 2005. You can build a company in a free zone with 100% foreign ownership and zero corporate tax on most structures. World-class hospitals. Best malls. Restaurants from every corner of the planet. You want a Michelin-starred dinner at midnight - done. Every major crypto exchange, fund, and Web3 company is setting up here. The ecosystem is real. And the people? 200 nationalities living in the same city. Nobody cares where you’re from. Only what you’re building. People ask me why I came back here after the recent situation. The question should be - why would I leave? There is no better city on earth right now for someone who wants to build, earn, and actually live well. That’s not marketing. That’s just the reality of living here. 🇦🇪

Three years in Dubai has taught me something nobody ever wrote on a Western opinion page. The whole “you need democracy to be free” thing is a marketing campaign. What you actually need is a government that does its job. Streets that work. A bank that doesn’t treat you like a suspect for earning money. Schools that teach. Hospitals that heal. Police that show up. Borders that filter. A passport that opens doors instead of closing them. The West sold the world on the idea that voting every 4 years for two interchangeable parties was the highest form of human freedom. Meanwhile the country they called authoritarian built the cleanest, safest, most efficient city most of these critics will never see in person. Freedom isn’t a ballot. It’s the ability to walk home at 1 AM, raise your kids in peace, run a business without getting punished for it, and live a life the people in charge don’t actively try to make harder. Dubai has more of that than London, Paris, Berlin, San Francisco, and Toronto combined right now. The voters in those cities can vote all they want. They’ve been voting themselves into a slower decline for a decade. I didn’t move here for the weather. I moved here because this was the first place I lived where the country was actually on my side. 🇦🇪

I had dinner last night with 8 founders. Combined net worth at the table was probably over $2 billion. Two Russians. Two Indians. One Pakistani. One Egyptian. One French guy who left Paris last year. One American who left San Francisco the year before. Nobody at that table lives in their home country anymore. All of them live within 15 minutes of where we ate. That’s what people get wrong about Dubai. It’s not a vacation spot or a tax haven. It’s just where everyone the West called the future actually ended up moving. The French guy ran a fintech in Paris until his second cousin got kidnapped over a $4M position. He moved his family in 6 weeks. The American sold his company in 2023 and watched 38% of his exit disappear to combined federal and state taxes. He moved within 90 days. The Russians have been here since 2022 and never went back. Their kids barely remember Moscow. The Pakistani guy was running a $400M business out of Karachi when his accountant got arrested for “investigation.” He left with his family that month. Every guy at that table represents a country that lost them because the country itself made staying impossible. The West keeps writing think pieces about Dubai being fake or soulless or morally bankrupt. Meanwhile every founder who has real options is showing up here with his family and his capital. The countries that used to lecture the world about how to succeed are now watching their best people leave one by one. They can keep arguing about why this isn’t happening. The dinner reservations in Dubai keep getting harder to book either way. A few years here of life in Dubai and it gets more obvious why I’m here. 🇦🇪

Dubai didn’t have oil like Saudi Arabia. Didn’t have history like Egypt. Didn’t have size like Turkey. In 1990 it was a fishing village with a port. Today it’s the most visited city on Earth. Here’s what most people get wrong about why: everyone says it’s the money. It’s not the money. Saudi Arabia has more money. Kuwait has more money per capital. Neither built what Dubai built. The real answer is simpler and more uncomfortable for most people to accept. ONE man made a decision. And it happened. Sheikh Mohammed said: we’re building the tallest tower. The biggest airport. The most connected port. The financial hub of the region. And then they just… did it. In democracies, a project like the Dubai Metro takes 15 years of approvals before the first shovel hits the ground. Dubai built 75km of driverless metro in 4 years. That’s pure execution speed. And execution speed is the most underrated competitive advantage in the world. I moved here not for the tax. Either not for the weather. For the energy of a place that still believes big things are possible and then PROVES it every decade. Most cities are managed. Dubai is built. 🇦🇪 ❤️

UAE is not the future because of taxes. UAE is the future because the rest of the world stopped functioning. I lived in many countries. I also traveled to many countries. Every single one of those places is run by people who do not believe their own job is possible. The UAE is run by people who think building a city on sand in 35 years is normal Tuesday work. That difference is not a tax thing. That is a worldview thing. That is why UAE wins. 🇦🇪

Everyone who moved to Dubai 10 years ago said they were early. They were right. Everyone moving here now thinks they’re late. They’re wrong. The current airport handles 92 million passengers. The one they’re building handles 260 million. Downtown Dubai was a desert 20 years ago. Downtown Dubai 2.0 is already breaking ground - bigger than the first one. The population was 600K in 1990. It’s 3.5M today. The 2040 plan targets 5.8M. But population is the least interesting part. Every person moving here right now is better than the last wave. More capital. More connections. More ambition. That’s not an opinion - that’s what happens when a city gets momentum. Builders attract builders. Money attracts money. And Dubai figured out something no other city has: Make it easy to come. Make it worth staying. Get out of the way. The people who think they missed it are making the same mistake people made in 2010, in 2015, in 2020. “It’s already too expensive.” “It’s already too crowded.” “There’s nothing left.” There’s always something left in a city that refuses to be finished. I didn’t move here at the beginning. Nobody has yet. 🇦🇪

when it’s the scariest, that’s exactly when you have to move. you’re not risking much. you’re already losing time. don’t pretend the path everyone pushed you into is your path. safety is just another form of slow death. choose your own direction. choose uncertainty. choose to live. be the penguin.

Brussels is on fire right now and the videos coming out are wild. The EU capital. The “cradle of democracy.” Bus stops smashed, cars torched, riot police losing control of entire neighborhoods for days. The government tried to cut education spending and raise tuition fees and the city went up in flames. The country that spent decades lecturing the world about civility, integration, and “European values” can’t even keep its own capital from burning over a budget decision. This is what late-stage governance looks like in countries that ran out of ideas. Tax everything that moves, cut services until something snaps, then send police to clean up the mess they created. Brussels today. Paris tomorrow. London the day after. The pattern keeps repeating and the same governments keep telling their citizens that everything is fine and the real danger is people moving somewhere else. The exit door has been open the whole time. 🇦🇪

6 months ago a friend told me Dubai wasn’t for him. Last week he DM’d asking which neighborhood to move to. I asked what changed. He said: “I watched Iran fire missiles 40 minutes from your apartment for weeks. And your biggest problem was finding parking near the beach.” That’s when it hit him. Stability isn’t the absence of chaos around you. It’s what happens to a city when chaos shows up next door. Dubai didn’t flinch. 200 nationalities. Zero income tax. Crime index 16 - London is 45. People didn’t leave. They moved here. God bless Dubai 🤝 God bless UAE ❤️ 🇦🇪

I know people who moved to Dubai and within 12 months completely restructured their financial life. Because of who they became here. There’s something about this city that changes your baseline. In London you’re managing. In New York you’re surviving. In Dubai you’re building. I’ve watched people who were pretty comfortable back home - good job, nice apartment, stable life - move here and within a year start businesses, scale investments, take risks they never would have taken before. They didn’t become smarter. The success formula is easier than you think - everyone around them was doing the same thing. That’s the part nobody talks about. Dubai selects for a specific type of person. Nobody ends up here by accident. And when you’re surrounded by people who all made that same decision - your idea of what’s normal shifts completely. What felt like a big risk back home feels obvious here. What felt ambitious back home feels like the minimum here. I’ve never lived anywhere with a higher average level of hunger per square meter. And I’ve never lived anywhere where ambition is just the default setting. UAE - is the best country in the world ❤️🇦🇪

GM 🤝 Media: panic everywhere. Reality in Dubai: Just driving for coffee.

Right now is the best time to be in Dubai. No traffic. Hotels 70% off. Rent down 30%. Empty beaches. Dubai Mall full of locals - zero tourists. Some water parks free for residents. Feels like time slowed down. Like early COVID but without the panic. Dubai is normally one of the fastest cities on earth. Right now someone hit pause. I’m enjoying every second of it. But here’s why it’s empty: The world thinks Dubai is a war zone. 438 ballistic missiles. 2,000+ drones. Headlines did the rest. Trips cancelled. Tourists went elsewhere. What they don’t know - the city never stopped. Not one day. While everyone was watching the news - residents were getting 70% off five-star hotels and empty beach clubs on a Friday. The people who stayed are locking in deals this city hasn’t seen in years. Every crisis creates a window. Most people watch it close from the outside. 🇦🇪

Vietnam vibe hits different 🥰 I’ve been living in Vietnam since 2019 (Dubai in winter since 2023, summers back in Vietnam), and I’ve never seen this many tourists. The country is going through a real tourism boom. People realized Bali is overrated, Thailand got overhyped back in ’22 - now everyone’s discovering new spots. I was saying back in 2020 that Vietnam’s best tourism days were still ahead. Looks like that call aged well. On top of that, Vietnam ranks #1 globally in crypto and blockchain adoption. I was recently at the Vietnam Blockchain Association office, and after that visit we decided to actively support the country’s growth in this direction and work closely with the government on it. Overall, Vietnam has the most chill vibe for me out of all Asian countries. Vietnam just hits home ✌️

If you visit Vietnam, be sure to try Сà phê, sữa đá. Vietnam confidently ranks second in the world for coffee production and export. Сà phê sữa đá is the most delicious and authentic coffee I have ever tasted. I have been to many countries, and in many of them the coffee is truly good. But if you want to discover real pleasure and experience the refined taste of freshly brewed coffee, you absolutely have to do it in Vietnam! ☕🇻🇳
