Ipê is getting viral, but many people still don't know:

WTF is a pop-up city?

@palomalecheta I think of Berlin's love parade from the 90ies... those were some techno optimists :)

@iam_smx Adastra school? Any others?

[Marina Beraz @Astro_Beraz]

@iam_smx What schools are in Starbase City? How are they helping to form future adult citizens and individuals?

Meet @purrfect_pixels, co-founder of @CatTownBase, an onchain world where you take on the persona of a cat.

From rural Ireland to a community that’s donated $30K+ to charities worldwide. This is her story.

This is happening in Florianópolis, Brazil.
Not Austin. Not Miami. Not Silicon Valley.
This is the way. Come build in paradise.

🌏Ipê Village Floripa – Brazil's longest and most epic governance innovation event is coming!

It's a one-month pop-up village where global builders will colive and prototype solutions for governance, health, education, and finance using AI and blockchain.

Our goal is to turn bureaucracy into code and startups.

⚖️ The Challenge
Brazil faces systemic corruption, inefficient public services, and one of the world’s most complex tax systems:

🏛️ 1,500 hours/year spent on tax compliance.
💸 Citizens work 150+ days/year just to pay taxes (41% tax burden).
📚 Education ranks 64th in math, 53rd in reading, 61st in science globally.

🚀 The Opportunity
Yet, Brazil has digital DNA and a thriving startup scene:

🔗 40M+ crypto holders (9th globally).
📲 WhatsApp reaches 95% of Brazilians.
💳 PIX serves 151M users, processing 6B+ transactions monthly—outpacing credit cards.
🏦 Nubank, the world’s largest digital bank, serves 92M Brazilians.

How can these two worlds coexist?

It’s time to reimagine governance for the Internet era.

Talking about the mycelial network, who watched Star Trek: Discovery? 🖖🍄

In Star Trek, the mycelial network is a vast, invisible web of space fungi connecting every point in the universe-and even alternate realities. 🌌

The USS Discovery’s spore drive lets it “jump” anywhere instantly by navigating this network, powered by special spores and a unique pilot. It’s nature’s internet on a cosmic scale, holding together all timelines and worlds!

Looking for next gen schools that serve as great examples! My kids have changed school too often and it's always the "least worse" choice rather than a reliable support system for parents to creating healthy (body&mind), self-aware, responsible, authentic & curious future adults.

[Marina Beraz @Astro_Beraz]

@nikolas_dm Keep going!!! Change can happen faster than we imagine

[Nima Kaz 🖖(d/acc) tech-optimist @OceaneXchange]

@espacial_aeb has been verbally supportive and it would be awesome to see some material resources towards this mission too! I say this as we're working hard to develop the New Space Cluster in @scflorianopolis & across the whole nation! - since 2017 by @jupterco & since 2023 joined by @Founder_Haus too
