We support the @vana community and their cool idea. At a time like this, there are few projects that are truly built for the sake of the idea. It's worth appreciating that
@annakaz is killing it. From MIT Bitcoin club to mining ETH → now giving us true data ownership + share in AI models. Smart, technical, and actually shipping the vision instead of hype. This is how you fix Big Tech data grabs. Legend @vana

MY BOLD PREDICTION: By 2037, autonomous driving will be MANDATORY in major cities, just like RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum) in aviation.
🛩️I’m a licensed pilot who’s flown everything from bush planes to jets, and a telecom engineer who’s deployed networks in the harshest places on earth, even the Arctic. I’ve lived the moment when tech mandates kick in, and they’re never about control. They’re about safety when human limits collide with scale.
In the skies, if you want to cruise between 29,000–41,000 ft, your plane MUST be RVSM-certified: precision altimeters, full redundancy, and autopilot required. No autopilot? Sorry, you don’t get that airspace.
It’s not disrespecting pilot skill, I’ve hand-flown countless approaches and loved every second. It’s simply that in dense, complex traffic, human variability becomes the biggest risk. A 100-ft deviation up there is unacceptable. RVSM didn’t restrict aviation, it unlocked massive capacity by halving vertical separation (2,000 → 1,000 ft) and relying on machine precision humans can’t sustain hour after hour. Cities are hitting the exact same wall on the ground. By 2037, urban cores will be packed with self-driving fleets, ride-hail, delivery robots, logistics trucks, all orchestrated by AI in real time.
Human reaction time (~1.5 seconds on a good day) will be the weak link. You can’t manually sync with a millisecond-coordinated grid without creating chaos. And here’s the part everyone misses (my telecom side screaming): none of this works without rock-solid connectivity. RVSM only succeeded because of reliable comms with Air Traffic Control, datalink, redundancy. Autonomous cities will need the same: ultra-low-latency 5G/6G, edge computing, and network-level trust/verification.
I’ve loved the raw thrill of stick-and-rudder flying and flooring it on an open road. This isn’t about killing that freedom. It’s about matching capability to the environment, manual mode gets pushed to suburbs/rural areas, just like non-RVSM planes stay below FL290. Physics, density, population growth, and zero tolerance for preventable crashes will force it.
Regulators will just catch up to reality. By 2037, the question won’t be “Does your car have autopilot?”
It’ll be “Is it certified, connected, and trusted enough to enter the city?”Who’s ready to hand over the wheel in downtown traffic?

Imagine Vana owning your steps on blockchain. Leaderboards for 7 days/month. You control the data. Connect or keep it pure nature? 😄 @vana
Canada’s telecom problem isn’t bad technology. It’s the system we’ve normalized.
Our networks aren’t failing. Fibre and mobile coverage are strong. Yet complaints keep rising, billing, reliability, and frustration.
If tech is improving, why are experiences getting worse?
Because competition has turned into a permanent conflict, and regulatory enforcement is too slow. When disputes drag on, market power fills the gap, and customers lose.
Fair competition isn’t a concession. It’s a prerequisite for affordability, innovation, and trust.
We need a system that enforces outcomes that benefit Canadians, not one where conflict replaces competition.

🎄 Looking out at this snowy scene from home, a few things stood out:
* A North Pole sign, for all the real Arctic networks we’ve built
* Snow-covered stillness, a symbol of peace & clarity for 2026
* A little pillow that says Hope, because we never let go of that
Grateful for the year behind us. Inspired for the one ahead.
Let’s stay connected. Let’s keep building.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
