Sometimes I wonder.....why does he have .eth in his twitter name, 4 years before ETH came out?

Yes. it basically adds an extra layer of security and creates a different set of accounts. You could use 1, 2, 3 (up to 100 characters if I remember correctly, so maybe 'oneSPECIALadditionalWord2addAnAdditionalLayerOfSECURITY' would be better and still easy to remember. But yeah, you could use...

Looks like gold and prepping up HK/Shanghai stock market so far. And trying to boost domestic consumption: https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202503/1330238.shtml

Thank you for that, so many sources quote 20K, even their embassy in London. https://london.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/84708-bringing-currency-in-and-out-of-thailand But the customs rules confirm your figure of 15K, one learns something new every day...

If Thailand is too difficult, choose any neighboring country and cash out at physical shops, they are not that hard to find. Or just open a bank account and do P2P, or even combine them and do both. The fees are minimal. For example: P2P USD from local bank to ->USDT cost today 0.18% (would be...

It's much easier than you think. Nowadays, I store my 24 word recovery key phrase in clear text on a piece of paper in three different locations, some of them pretty insecure, open to see for anyone that wants to take a look. Sounds idiotic, right? Well, not really. Losing the full recovery...

Let me guess, you do the notary thing and use one of the passports to open a bank account remotely? Bonus, if the name in both passports is a little different from each other, because of different spelling according to the passport country? Yeah, it will work. But one day, when AI takes over and...

Of course, China is selling US debt and gold is their first choice. The BRICs aren't stupid. As soon as everyone realizes that Trump's war on economy can only be solved with the money-printers going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr around the world, crypto will follow. So funny, that the US...

Laos is back on the FACF greylist again. Expect tighter rules for account opening and banking coming soon. https://laotiantimes.com/2025/03/27/laos-pledges-stronger-anti-money-laundering-measures/

I had a 6 months extension w/o work permit at that time, and when I tried to convince the bank manager that I applied for the work permit and am still waiting to receive it, he told me that they'd accept the receipt (which you get when applying) as well. Try a different branch, push to the...

The difference between the 6 months extension and the 12 months extension is the price - and the fact that there is no work permit required for applying for the 6 months visa extension - legally it might be necessary, but it's not being forced. With just the 30 day tourist / business visa it's...

I have mentioned this in the past, and I'd like to remind everyone that this institution hasn't turned profitable yet, and AFAIK doesn't have any physical branches in Cambodia, at least I haven't encountered any. Nor have I ever met anyone having an account there. Not implying anything, just...

Yes, but BTC only, as it's the only crypto that is sure still to exist, and have a higher value than today in 3, 7, 11 years. But I wouldn't expect 100x anymore.

Sorry, I meant 'customs db', that will flag you for a 'random' check if you got a history of with them. Interpol and biometric? https://www.interpol.int/en/How-we-work/Forensics/Biometric-Hub It's not the only one, there are so many more. Depends on country as well.

Interpol database. Little anecdote, at my last border crossing I even got a glimpse of the sticker with the password for accessing it, which they just put on their monitor. Sadly, my short term memory isn't that what it once was. Oh, and of course national immigration databases, criminal...

For everyone interested in this kind of thing, I just learned that with the Turkish CBI program, one can choose a new Turkish name on the TR passport.

Check hugginface.co, it's a gold mine. You can test run many models being developed, and also run your own models on their servers.

Don't even think about buying a non-developed island, you'll have to pour lots of work and even more money into it. Lots of cheap islands in Canada and Sweden (or Finland?), but those are a bit harsher and don't offer a tropical lifestyle. Consider distance to mainland, fresh water, cell phone...

The level of eye-candy beats Dubai for sure. Now tell me which airline does a stopover there. Last edited: Mar 6, 2025

How about investing directly into listed companies like for example Panthera Resources (billion $$$ claim vs. India regarding their canceled license in Rajastan?), and diversifying by doing it with 5 different one's?
