Edge City

Takeaways from spending most of October at the @edgecity Lanna popup city in Chiang Mai, Thailand:

• I enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by curious, high-agency people (especially builders)

• between attending presentations, participating in DAOs and spontaneous excursions, felt a lot like a college campus (except everyone is a fully-grown adult and there of their own volition)

• editing plant genes, learning about @metamask delegators and discussing the future of stablecoins with @vitalik.eth in the room is a vibe

• got a taste of the “biohacker” lifestyle – sauna, cold plunge, measuring biomarkers with blood tests and fitness trackers

• Thai food is cheap and amazing; pleasantly surprised at the quality and variety of health-conscious food options (though food poisoning is no joke)

• digital nomading is hard when your company’s daily standup is effectively 11pm 😵

• popup cities inspired by @zuzalu and @ns are absolutely gonna explode next year and I am totally here for it
