@kennetheversole @dillon_mulroy Well America has been doing this for a while now. It’s easy to shout free market when you’re dominating the market, but your true values are tested when you aren’t the one dominating anymore. And America has failed that test with flying colours

[Tom @Constan11645454]

@dillon_mulroy @zerohedge Basically US strategy against everything Chinese in the last years. Shouting free market when they dominate, but creating regulations and concerns out of thin air when they aren’t dominating anymore

@ezwoem Why to should he stay? Americans treat Chinese like shit meanwhile they are doing all the work for the AI labs in the USA and China.

@RnaudBertrand True but why do you intentionally mislead people? Its pretty obvious that it’s that lucrative because its in Xinjiang

@AutismCapital You’re technically correct. I’m experiencing oxytocin withdrawal with secondary dopaminergic dysregulation.

So deserved, Revolut is an amazing company and significantly changed my life

Before Revolut I had so many problems with banks

I used to have a Dutch bank called Rabobank who would freeze my card at random times while I was traveling, and no they didn't even have an unfreeze button in the app, I mean they barely had an app

I'd literally have to fly back to Holland and go into the bank office in my tiny hometown to then make an appointment with them to unfreeze it

One time in I think 2014 I was in Bali and they froze it, I flew back and at the bank office they said it was time for me to get a mortgage, when I said I didn't want one they said do you have insurance? They were freezing my card to then use it to make me come to their office to then upsell me shit

Another time in 2017 (I think some of you remember) they froze my card in the US, and with no money I became homeless, luckily X (back then Twitter) helped me out and you all ordered Ubers for me on request and @manuthan gave me a place to sleep at @outsiteco in Venice

You don't hate dinosaur banks enough!

After experiencing all that I got Revolut and I never had any issue like that again

(Well except for moving to Portugal where I was forced to open a Portuguese bank account at MillenniumBCP, which was possibly an even worse experience than Rabobank, my premium package private banking account manager would always be unreachable and only email me to tell me she'd go on holiday and would be even more unreachable 😂)

Revolut has been my main bank app for the last decade and it's been wonderful, I've pumped millions through it and it barely flinched, sometimes they ask me documents to prove where the money comes from, but that process is super smooth and via chat

Revolut is another great example that you can make something that makes everyone's life significantly better and society will reward you by making you rich!

@elonmusk Was on the autobahn recently driving through massive rain and I literally couldn't see anything. The rain was already incredibly intense, add to that the the cars in front spewing water all over, you could genuinely see nothing.

in shenzhen most business people respond to you within 3 minutes on a sunday. even if you have no prior connection. it’s surreal

@levelsio uhhh no? right wing is against censhorship. The graph you posted shows that too

[Tom @Constan11645454]

@SimardPete @skumWgmi do both, one thing does not necessarily cancel out the other. its all about managing and balance. but thats boring so people always talk about one or the other. You can be smart with money, enjoy your life but also save and invest properly

[Tom @Constan11645454]

@iamallthatis_ this is so true

I like people who find a way.

There is always a way.

[Jostein Hauge @haugejostein]

Many of my posts are supportive of China's economic transformation.

Here's why.

China has lifted more people out of poverty than the rest of the world put together in the past 50 years.

China is leading global efforts to develop clean energy technology.

China has higher life expectancy than the USA despite its income per capita being 1/6 of the USA.

China has the world's largest high-speed rail network.

China has provided the world with affordable consumer goods for decades now.

I could go on...

The point is, from an international development perspective, we should celebrate China's rise.

We also need to call out Western leaders, pundits and media for their anti-China rhetoric — which has less to do with China and more to do with the fact that Western hegemony is being threatened. In recent years, China has done a lot more for global prosperity than the West.

Am I saying that we should unequivocally celebrate China? Of course not. But in Western media, we are bombarded with critical takes on China every day. There is no need for me to repeat it.

I've also grown tired of the caveats people in wealthy countries target at poorer countries when the latter do something good.

The idea that the West is the ideal model to strive for is absolute rubbish. China is doing things differently, and they're being successful in many ways. We should celebrate that.
