Spending my last day in Bangkok at The Ancient City. 

Incredibly beautiful architecture

devcon

One final @devcon side event to cap an amazing week in Thailand 🇹🇭

Global Majority Day with builders and creators from LATAM, Africa and Asia was special!

🌍🌏🌎

Devcon is a non profit event, organized by the Ethereum Foundation. It is about the future of technology and society, not just Ethereum.
BKK 12-15 Nov

i spent a summer in an operating room, shadowing an orthopedic surgeon who was the team doctor for the Dodgers, Lakers, and Kings.

in a typical OR, the responsibility of cleaning up post-surgery usually falls on the nurses.

in ours that summer, the surgeon — despite his experience working on the top athletes in the top hospitals in the world — was always mopping the floors and cleaning up the trash until the room returned spotless.

"treat no job and no person as though they are beneath you," is what he shared my first day. it has stuck with me since.

i've watched 4 founders exemplify that this week:

@vitalik.eth visiting all the impact booths to ask questions, speaking at every event

@jessepollak onboarding tuktuk drivers, joining the buildher brunch, providing real-time, in-person feedback to new apps

@linda volunteering at the FC booth, meeting power users for lunch, asking for feedback

and (surprise!) @stani carrying banners, handing out merch to crowds, talking to devs

this matters to people.

one of the most impressive things I saw today at @devcon was Stani at the Aave booth. 

No fancy swag or big team. Just a founder talking to users for more than 2 hours straight

after a week of eating conference and side event food this KFC hit like crack

The GM (Global Majority) Hub session yesterday with Aya from the EF Leadership team and Vitalik was truly special. 

Aya shared openly and beautifully what it means for Ethereum to have 177 Africans at Devcon. 

Massive thank you to @goyo, @yoseph and the Ethereum Foundation for making this happen.

@superchaineco Contributor Cohort 0 meetup at @devcon

Unofficial HQ for everything Optimism and the Superchain Ecosystem.

The L2’s of Bangkok. Fast, affordable and the best way to get around ⚡️

@yoseph’s @devcon talk on the next 10 years of web3 in Africa was the highlight of the day for me. Many great web3 use cases being built for on the continent

Seeing so many African builders in the room was special, many of us wouldn’t have been able to make the trip without his support

Vitalik speaking on the future of Ethereum at @devcon  🦄

@ensdomains frENSday was amazing. met so many farcaster folks! Big announcement was the launch of Namechain and ENSv2✨

BTS Sky Train is another great way of travelling in Bangkok ✨🇹🇭

Took it to go to Chatuchak Weekend Market today.

Win (bike) is the best way to get around in Bangkok 🇹🇭

the degen token launched on solana puts such a sour taste in my mouth. no connection to the original token, completely ripping off the original branding - just someone with an audience looking to make a quick buck

I was going to say “that’s Solana, so go figure” but then remembered somebody did the same with the Moxie clone on Base. 

“That’s crypto, so go figure”
