Stop being a coward. You have the potential to be great, but not if you keep one foot in cozy normal, hoping it will happen without sacrifice. Give up the boy. The silly habits. Stop focusing on what could go wrong. Laser in on what could go right. Go all in. It's time.

Still on a single Google Cloud container, still freezing clients’ money for no reason at all. @Revolut is not safe to use.
Still Europe’s most valuable private company. Still top 10 globally.

Peter Thiel's critique of European tech is sharper than most people quote it: "In the social democratic European societies, it's acceptable to be moderately successful. It's not acceptable to be wildly successful." That's not a cultural observation. It's a structural diagnosis. Look at the pattern: Skype sold to Microsoft. Spotify relocated to New York and listed in the US. DeepMind sold to Google before it could compound. Klarna — one of Europe's most valuable fintechs — spent years being investigated and regulated the moment it hit scale. The moment a European startup gets big enough to matter, the social contract shifts. Regulators, press, and public sentiment move from neutral to hostile. So founders learn to exit early — not because they lack ambition, but because the system taxes it. Europe produces world-class talent and early-stage innovation. It just doesn't retain the compounding. The constraint isn't capital. It's the ceiling culture places on acceptable ambition — and founders respond rationally to the incentives they're actually given.

Once the EU will finish its job of driving its citizen to starvation with high cost of living and taxes, the real balance will come from the option with the highest level of common sense.
🇧🇬🇷🇺 Bulgaria just elected a president who wants a reset with Russia. Iliana Yotova won yesterday’s runoff with 57.6% of the vote, beating a pro-Western former prime minister. She opposes military aid to Ukraine, says peace can only come through negotiations and is expected to back lifting sanctions on Russia. Her job is mostly ceremonial, though she can still veto laws and appoint caretaker governments. And she won’t be pushing alone, since her longtime ally is prime minister and his government has already stopped sending Ukraine weapons from army stocks. That gives Moscow one more friendly voice inside the EU. Source: Balkan Insight / Writer: Daniyal

Es gab am 2.11.2026 in Petropawliwska Borschtschahiwka ein temporäres Nationalgarde-Haus (Azov-verbunden), in dem zurückgeholte Deserteure und Mobilisierte gehalten wurden. Verwandte meldeten Misshandlungen; vier Männer wurden hospitalisiert. Behörden bestreiten systematische Folter und Tötungen, ermitteln. Der abgebildete 14-Jährige war vor Ort und wirkte verletzt. Die genauen Ursachen sind unklar.

🇪🇺 WELCOME TO TAXLAND 🇧🇪 Belgium’s PM offered his government’s resignation after coalition talks collapsed over how to find roughly €10 billion in budget savings. 🇫🇷 France’s National Assembly approved an amendment that would charge digital content providers €0.055 for every gigabyte sent to users in France. It still has to survive the rest of the budget process. 🇮🇹 Italy’s 2027 budget draft would hit certain long-term residents leaving the country with a 26% tax on unrealized financial gains if their relevant assets are worth at least €800,000. 🇬🇧 The UK is raising the top tax rate on savings interest and property income to 49% from April 2027. 🇩🇪 Germany will apply a 47% income-tax rate to taxable income above €280,000 starting in 2027. 🇭🇺 Hungary’s government has proposed an annual wealth tax starting at 1% on net taxable wealth above 1 billion forints, roughly €2.6-2.7 million. 🇪🇸 Spain already charges a 3% Digital Services Tax on covered digital revenues. Europe keeps finding new places to put a tax bill 💀 Source: Tax Savers / Writer: Sol

🇮🇹 Italy has come up with a rather CREATIVE new way to tax wealthy people. Even if you haven't sold your investments, the government could still demand 26% of your profits. Your crime: LEAVING ITALY. Buried in Meloni's proposed 2027 budget is a new exit tax targeting people with financial portfolios worth at least €800,000 who have lived in Italy for six of the previous ten years. And here's where it gets ABSURD. Say your investments have gained €300,000 on paper. You move abroad, and Italy could demand €78,000 in taxes. Want to wait until you actually SELL something? You'll have to pay €39,000 upfront and provide a financial guarantee to qualify for the deferral. So you could end up handing the government tens of thousands of euros on profits you haven't actually received. And how much does Italy expect this elaborate exercise to raise in 2027? A grand total of €3.37 MILLION. Not billion. Million. The legislation still needs parliamentary approval, but there's something rather extraordinary about taxing people for leaving a country while simultaneously making it considerably less attractive for wealthy investors to stay.

One of the wisest politician alive. Very rare to see a high level politician with such a deep understanding of history and geopolitics!
Déclaration du ministre russe des Affaires étrangères, Sergueï Lavrov 🇷🇺 : ​ « Au cours des 500 dernières années, la quasi-totalité des tragédies mondiales ont puisé leurs origines en Europe ou sont nées des politiques européennes : la colonisation, les guerres napoléoniennes, la guerre de Crimée, la Première Guerre mondiale, le nazisme… » ​ Après cinq siècles de soumission des peuples et de pillage des richesses du Sud global pour édifier la prospérité européenne, leurs empires se sont effondrés au lendemain de 1945. Depuis lors, l'Europe n'a plus guère proposé au monde que le néocolonialisme et un vassalage inconditionnel envers les États-Unis. Aujourd'hui, elle se retrouve confrontée au spectre de son propre effacement géopolitique. ​Au lieu d'accepter l'émergence d'un monde multipolaire qui ne tolère plus le néocolonialisme, et de donner la priorité à son renouveau économique en coopérant avec les puissances du XXIᵉ siècle, l'Europe choisit une tout autre voie : elle engloutit ses ressources déclinantes dans le complexe militaro-industriel pour alimenter un affrontement contre la Russie — une confrontation dont ses propres populations ne veulent pas. Pendant ce temps, le reste du monde investit dans le commerce, l'innovation et le développement. ​ L'Europe avait une ultime occasion de se tourner vers l'avenir ; elle a préféré pivoter à 180 degrés pour se complaire dans le passé. ​ Un constat sévère, mais lucide et totalement véridique.

Javier Milei: “No tengo nada en contra de los artistas. Yo mismo tuve una banda de rock. Mi problema es que si necesitas una subvención del gobierno para hacer arte, ya no eres un artista, eres un empleado público.” Milei es un número uno.
