Timour Kosters

Anyone heading to the AI Impact Summit in India in Feb?

Amazing example of a social form -> institution: the birth of mass insurance.

In 1600s, sailors gather at Lloyd's Coffeeshop and trade gossip about ship journeys.

The data is so reliable, people start 'underwriting' risk of journeys. Lloyds creates syndicated insurance.

I think it's a great format for launches, fundraising, founder stories etc. where you need to stand out.

Hit up @lina_ventures and the Creative Lab team if you want to try it out.

Bhutan and the Blueprint for a Wise City The flight into Bhutan sets the stage for the unique experience that lies ahead. The plane flies past Everest and through Himalayan peaks before weaving into the small Paro valley, mountains so close

This is super cool: a new product called Capsules that turns your essays or posts into beautiful animated microsites.

@capsulesink built this demo using my Bhutan essay. It feels less like a blog and more like a short film.

A beautiful way to celebrate Bhutan National Day. 🇧🇹

Today is also Bhutan's National Day! Wishing a happy National Day to everyone there. Excited to go back next year.

Read the full pledge here: gmc.bt/pledge

The funds will support the development of GMC as a new political entity.

This hub aims to offer regulatory clarity and modern financial connectivity. The project is designed as the world’s first mindfulness-based economic zone.

Pretty cool to see this strategy.

Excess renewable hydropower to mine Bitcoin -> longterm hold -> use as national reserve asset.

The country has their national ID system on Ethereum and the GMC project recently announced a new gold-backed token on Solana.

Bhutan just unveiled a landmark Bitcoin Development Pledge.

The Kingdom is committing up to 10,000 BTC (~$1 billion USD) to back the Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) project.

Big move in using Bitcoin as a reserve for the new Special Administrative Region.

I'm heading to Kenya for two weeks in January. I've heard many great things from the edge city builder community there; I'm excited to finally check it out.

I'll be in Nairobi for a few days and then on the coast.

Would love recommendations for where to go and what to do ☀️

@syntonikka played a banger set afterward (pls upload it!)

Sharing my dj set from the Edge City Patagonia halloween party ☀️ it's a mix of fun house and indie dance.

I don't play too often at our villages because we have so many great DJs in the community, but it's fun when it happens.

At every Edge City monthlong village, I give out several disposable cameras to the community and see what comes back. The pics give a genuine sense of the vibe and the special feeling at edge.

The pics we got back in Patagonia might be the best yet.

chat, are bluetooth headphones bad for the brain?

I want to find good wired headphones that are as good and comfortable as airpod pros, but not sure where to look

Walking around beautiful cities like Buenos Aires, I always imagine what what I'd be doing if I lived here for an extended time.

Would I learn tango? Pick up the Argentine accent in spanish?

It's fun but bittersweet to wander through these alternate lives we could live.

You can’t vibecode a trebuchet

Can't believe they dropped AGI while I'm traveling in Sweden and they're "working on access for Europe" 😭

We're creating places where we can imagine the future of society and actually build it while living it.

It's necessary work, especially right now.
