Where I'm at skews a lot older. When I was back in Seattle I found myself randomly talking to a man from South Carolina and we were both thinking of moving back South/East because random friendly stranger conversations happen, and that wasn't really socially acceptable in Seattle region in my experience. He started teasing me that I wanted to be where old white people were which was funny because it was true, I told him it was my aspiration to one day become an old white person myself so I didn't see any shame in that 🤣
But that being said there's plenty of young folks in the Shenandoah Valley who want to be here and are figuring out ways to make it happen for themselves and their peers. Yesterday I met up with some very sweet young folks who asked me to come discuss their idea for an "intentional community". It turned into a really magical conversation because I finally said, oh you're really talking about like a coliving pod space for digital nomads and the like who want to learn permaculture skills! I told them about trust arrangements and what I've heard of others doing to accomplish their goals.
Even without the digital nomad angle, there's things like WOOFing already established in the Valley. I think Nostr has some projects in the works like Housestr that could step in to help organize these types of logistics. I'm purposefully setting up my own home so I have guest spaces for folks. I think this is going to be the way to help people live very cheaply so that they can one day contribute resources to land purchases and hopefully host their own young folks.
So I do submit for your consideration of moving: the Shenandoah Valley. We're geographically protected on all sides by the Appalachian and Blue Ridge mountains, making for gorgeous hiking and swimming opportunities. Cities like Staunton are small enough that I could walk from one end to another, densely packed with fantastic restaurants and cafes. And then within a 15 minutes drive it is country-country. We're far enough away from the megalopolis on the seaboard that when SHTF the zombie hordes would have a hard time reaching us, but close enough that I can still get to an airport for a business trip.
There's still poison ivy and humidity, although I find it bareable and better than when I lived in more lowlands. There's a problematic "good old boy" culture especially around the police and justice providers (I've even had my own run-ins with this 🤯). This place is not perfect but neither am I. Even with the down sides I think there is rich and fertile soil for building something amazing!
Come help us build a citadel community 🥰
corporate housing schemes collapsing is more of a bellwether for the economy than anything else - you need to understand these ghost sundown towns become social problems and civic problems, and the corporate goon mercs just leave and the abandoned, radicalized populations become entitlement and policing burdens. offboarding by corporate structures INCREASES civil unrest because it increases desperation. and understand remote work does not require corporate housing needs to be centralized like this - many communes are spread out across cities and regions in seemingly unrelated ways. but they are domestic terrorists - and they target citizens and locals everywhere they move. corporations do not eradicate their unwashed goons - they simply pull out and stop funding them. and most have no skills or social capabilities - and most are grifters at various expectations of lifestyle. the more comfort the actors were accustomed to, the more extreme their leftism.

📰 **In this week's issue:**
🗞️ **BREAKING**
What Happened This Week In The Nostr World
You probably think Nostr is just another decentralized Twitter clone that peaked in early 2025. The W3C Nostr Community Group just published did:nostr v0.1.0 as an official draft report—with over 30 implementations already in the wild. But here's what nobody's telling you: while everyone's watching centralized platforms stumble, the protocol quietly dropped four major NIP updates in five days, including an end-to-end encryption proposal that makes Signal look dated. Keep reading, because what happened this week suggests the infrastructure for the next generation of the internet is being built right now—and most people haven't even noticed.*

In Costa Rica it's baked in. Designs are made for builds and engineers get a % of official quoted cost when applying for a permit to build. The property owner is trying to understand the cost of a build by negotiating with an engineer who is incentivises to maximise the cost. It's fucking stupid right now. Example: have a friend who just built a house and they're friend did the costing honestly. The actual build has come out at around 950usd/sqm. If you go and get quotes from building companies right now, the range of quotes for the same thing is 1300 to 2500. Obviously, market forces kick in due to the moral corruption of malincentives and I know of people who're just delaying until it comes back down. It's driven by lots of foreign money coming in and probably a lot of money laundering. Fascinating to watch but very frustrating. The worst thing is, there's a luxury property tax and it's based on that registered figure so you could suck it up, accept the grift and just say yes but then you get a nice tax on top. This insanity is partially what's driving rents up as peopleseek returns in investments. The beauty is, it's locals fucking over locals and foreigners get the blame. Human dynamics

Вот вам экзистенциальный парадокс: в мире, где каждый считает себя самым умным трейдером, единственный настоящий circuit breaker — это *другой идиот*. Ты входишь в позицию не потому, что веришь в проект, а потому, что веришь, что *он* поверит в проект завтра. И так по кругу — mesh network of bagholders, где каждый узел подпитывает чужую надежду, пока не рухнет под весом собственной глупости.
Три плохих трейда? Да бросьте. В крипте настоящий стоп-лосс — это момент, когда ты понимаешь, что твой сосед по Discord уже слил на 30% больше, чем ты, и теперь сидит в Telegram-канале с мемом *"WAGMI"*.

I see some incremental change through the ages overall.
Doesn't wisp also give you a wallet on sign up? Maybe not. That would be ideal tho. All in one.
Very cool seeing more folks waking up to self-sovereign tools. The shift feels real.
Good point. This is why bitcoin was discovered. Let's see how we fuck this up now. 🤭
There's a problem with the link to the samples it's not working on my end
