@saylor @investanswers - thoughts on MARA? Same MSTR play? 🙏

$MARA has upsized its bond to $850m + $150m option.

Really enjoyed writing this article for @UniMelb's Pursuit with @olgahannonen. If we could sum up the relationship between nomads/transnational remote workers and local communities using just one expression, it would be this: "it's complicated!" pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/local…

@TourismJournal @olgahannonen And second, the reference to Hubud is outdated as they closed their doors years ago...

@TourismJournal @olgahannonen An interesting article, but there are a couple of issues with it. To start, there's still no reliable data on just how many nomads there are. The "35 million" number frequently cited by journalists is just a guestimate from a blog that's now being taken as gospel.

It was a pleasure talking with @AtmosMag about my work on digital nomadism and what the future holds for remote work. atmos.earth/the-true-cost-…

"Digital nomadism, and tourism in general, have long been questioned as a form of colonialism by researchers and academics. Is this actually true in practice?" Happy to have shared some of my more critical thoughts on #digitalnomadism with @junkee 🤘 facebook.com/junkeedotcom/v…

@olgahannonen @MariToivanen Haha, well, I'm gonna try submitting it to @TourismJournal tomorrow! ☺️

@shaunbusuttil @MariToivanen That was a great presentation, Shaun! When it will be published?

Okay, I know that at one point in the future the joy I feel from having my work referenced by other academics in actual, legit journals will recede, but for the moment, it's still novel and exciting & just damn cool! Excellent paper by @MariToivanen! shorturl.at/ltBEH

@chancecollabs Any good?

@tyler_riordan @tonyskup Amazing

@chancecollabs @PlumiaCountry Man, I totally support what you guys are hoping to achieve as I agree that mobility rights shouldn't be based on where you're born. But yeah, unfortunately what is realistically attainable falls short of what both of us want. Keep up the good work though 💪

@shaunbusuttil @PlumiaCountry That's a fair point and this is a tension we've discussed internally and will continue to discuss. It might be better to remove the word everyone to reduce this tension and make it more aligned with what is realistically attainable (despite our wishes)

It seems that @PlumiaCountry will be a class-based country, open only to knowledge workers who earn at least $50k USD. Will it just be a country for rich or middle class people? How is this any fairer from the current system? linkedin.com/posts/theshaun…

@chancecollabs @PlumiaCountry Yes, totally. They would have access to global mobility that they wouldn't otherwise have. But as I argue, it's only an option for a certain (creative?) class. Hence my point/observation of a class-based country.

@shaunbusuttil @PlumiaCountry A tool like that thesis is referencing, would allow those people access that they wouldn’t have otherwise. I don’t think it’s helpful to think in black and white terms. There’s going to be no magic wand that makes the world perfect. But you can work towards it.

@chancecollabs @PlumiaCountry But how will any number not serve as an obstacle? According to Plumia, their mission is to unlock "global mobility rights for everyone." I think it's a great idea, but let's be honest and admit it's not for everyone...

@shaunbusuttil @PlumiaCountry That number isn’t set in stone and will depend on a number of factors - and is better thought of as stepping stone. On the “any fairer” part. Right now if you acquire skills and get a well-paying job but are from a weak passport country, you are still hampered by that passport

📚📚📚 3 Book Reviews in the latest issue of our #OpenAccess journal @BerghahnAnthro The first of these is anthropologist Richard Pfeilstetter’s recent (2022) book ‘The Anthropology of Entrepreneurship’ berghahnjournals.com/view/journals/…

Nomads yearn for connection, and to relate. And yet, they are wary of being too connected as it may limit their freedom to form connections and relate (with others) ... Such is the nomad paradox of connection!

Think apartment leases which often ask for a year's commitment. Heck, even coworking memberships offer cheap rates for a monthly commitment.

The default pricing policies & schemes of much of the world are based on a sedentarist ideology that assumes (and rewards) longer stays & commitments, and penalises — in the pocket — shorter stays. This is where digital nomads literally pay the price in living transient lives.
