Does anyone have recommendations on an ideal way to buy bitcoin in Dubai?

I have a friend there asking for recommendations.

Cross posting my macro stuff here was my early intent, but I ran into frictions. I would start to but then forget to post stuff here. And some of the early desktop clients kind of sucked for posting images. Primal is making that better.

I found myself naturally posting “insider updates” about my book progress and stuff. And occasionally ranting about things. That’s what felt natural. Posting macro content here always felt like a chore. There are studies that show how hard it is to be “native” on two or more social media platforms. You can easily cross-post, but actually *understanding* the culture of different ecosystems is really hard. Reposting often feels hollow, especially because there is a big bitcoin community here but not a big macro community, and most of the small macro community that is here catches my stuff elsewhere anyway.

The more I think about it, unique content is best. Cross posting doesn’t hurt but it’s not the key driver. And the only unique content that will be genuine is stuff I feel uncomfortable or uninterested in posting on Twitter.

Elon Musk has never built a business that's profitable without government subsidies. Don't expect Twitter to disrupt that streak.

GM all. Something very unexpected happened last night. I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in over 2 years at a gas station. We talked for a bit and I found out he recently got divorced and he found out he has MS. He also mentioned depression without coming right out and saying he is depressed. I feel really bad for him, but I had distanced myself from this guy for a reason.

Back when we were friends he got caught cheating on his then gf. I have always really liked his gf, she's a good woman and her and I got along well. When the cheating was exposed I tried to get her to break up with him and may have made a bit of a pass at her, but she decided to forgive him. After that I started to distance myself and lost touch. They eventually got married and have two very young children together now.

I feel like a vulture, but the first thing I thought about after running into him was that I wanted to contact his ex. I have still thought about her occasionally even though I have had no contact with them all this time. I feel like after running into him and finding out he's in rough shape, going right to his ex to reconnect with her instead of him is a dick move. On the other hand he's a cheater and I lost a lot of respect for him after that.

I'm thinking I am going to contact her anyway and offer my support as a friend. I'm not responsible for him, and frankly I don't even know what I could do to help him. I don't really want to resume my friendship with him at all. Her on the other hand, I still care about.

I could use some reassurance that I am not a vulture and this is a socially acceptable thing to do. Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

Gonna go for a ruck whats a good podcast you’ve listened to recently
