心若没有栖息之地,走到哪里都是流浪。


作者:清迈TIMES
在清迈住了这么多年,已经见证过这座小城足够多的兴衰时刻,比如普通咖啡馆都可以人满为患的2018年,又比如因无人问津导致大量餐厅倒闭的2020年……
今天在脸书看到一位欧美博主的文章,颇有感触。打算借他提到的“清迈正在流失大量数字游民”这个主题跟大家交流探讨一下。
清迈数字游民大量流失,低成本生活背后的理想与现实
这位博主的文章在脸书上得到了许多网友的热评。TIMES君认为它的确说出了一个群体的心声,这个群体就是那些曾在清迈住过几年最后选择离开的人。


该博主在文章中写道,记得他刚到清迈时就感觉自己找到了心中所向往的地方,那个所有数字游民都在寻找的地方——房租便宜、随处可见的奶昔、wifi速度很快的工作场所,即便正在拥有一份全职工作,清迈也会让你有种半退休的状态。
他继而写道:“有一段时间情况确实如此,实际上情况还要更好一些。”
清晨,他可以在古城的小巷中漫步,在安静的咖啡馆里喝喝咖啡,到寺庙听听僧人诵经,看到依旧笼罩在黎明晨光中的寺庙,他坐在共享工作场所里就能听到操着5种口音的人,比如正在开发应用程序的德国人,正在交易加密货币的巴西人,正在编辑博客的澳大利亚人……
那一刻,空气中似乎弥漫着一种共同的雄心壮志,所有人都在默默为心中的“自由”奋斗着。


但后来,有些情况发生了变化,并且这个变化不止发生在该博主一个人身上。
他在和一些已在清迈长住过的人喝咖啡闲聊后听到了一种说法——清迈正在流失大量数字游民,且其中原因并非大多数人所想的那样。
人们在听到“清迈正在流失大量数字游民”后,很容易对号入座一个客观原因:近年清迈空气污染严重,所以把很多人吓跑了。
但对于这位博主来说,他认为空气污染并不是造成清迈正在流失数字游民的主要原因,which是得到TIMES君我认同的。
他认为,如果你刚开始拥有远程工作,刚开始海外生活,刚开始追求自由,那么清迈会是一个能让你轻松着陆的地方。它温柔可人、价格实惠、探索无限,包容性极强,一开始这里能满足很多自由职业初级者的所有幻想。
但最终,那些让清迈看起来“完美”的因素也会渐渐变成它的制约因素。有种“成也萧何 败也萧何”的即视感了。
这位博主解释道,咖啡馆的谈话开始变得不过是在重复一样的故事,一切不过是同样的剧本在换另一批新的人在运行。
一些数字游民开始陷入了一种不言而喻的循环——既不投入工作,也不投入自我,更不投入他们所在的国家,一切都从未真正深入。


于是,该博主开始注意到自己是多么地与世隔绝。尽管他身在泰国却感觉自己对当地知之甚少。当然,他参加过一些当地节日,也吃过街边小食,也学过一些泰语,但还是没有融入其中。
他认为,“我们中的大多数人真的都没有真正融入过。”
这就是外国人在泰国的悲哀。你可以在泰国住上很多年,却依然只能像浮萍一样飘在水面,而无法真正扎根和融入进来。
此外,清迈城市本身也在慢慢发展,房租开始涨了,咖啡馆更光鲜亮丽了,但是不知为何生意更冷清了,签证也更难办了,他认识的一些朋友也开始搬离清迈。
不知不觉,清迈不再只是一个地方,而是一个品牌。它散发着自由职业的远程生活氛围,可桌子上摆放着的MACBOOK电脑却变成了一种表演,而表演总是要面具的。


博主称,清迈给了他太多。在这里,他的工作动力得以提升;在这里,他学会了精打细算;也同样在这里,他直面了从未有过的孤独——
拥有了一切以为想要的东西,却依然感觉失去了什么。
综上所述,他认为那些离开清迈的人应该都会有共鸣。
作为很早就来到清迈的半个数字游民,TIMES君不光认同这位博主的说法,还想夸奖他的观察力和表达力很优秀。
好巧不巧,前两天我和英国朋友在吃饭回家路上聊过这个话题。我和他都在清迈住了10+年,当时我们说到泰国的弊端,因为对比英国的政策,如果一个外国人像他一样在该国连续住了10年,早就能拿到当地永居身份或者护照了。
可当情况放在泰国,现状是如何呢?即便他买了房,拥有了长期签证,可到头来还是一个外人,90天一次的移民局报到不说了,就连去南部海岛旅游一两周不带护照只带粉红卡都会有问题。(因为有的酒店只认准外国人的护照,当地颁发的驾照或身份证他们也不信)
泰国这种“不轻易接受外人”的政策造就了一种疏离感。“我不求融入或归属感了,我只希望他们能让我的生活简单点,不要再搞出一些复杂的政策。”朋友无奈地说。


在评论区,一位读者的评论同样得到了其他网友的认同。他总结博主的文章为以下评论:
“如果你读了文章,你就会知道这跟空气质量无关,更像是一种精神状态,对于千篇一律的生活感到厌倦,当一切都变得正常,就毫无兴奋感了。这时是时候离开了,去寻找另一个地方呆一段时间。在我看来,数字游民就是四处奔波的人,不会在同一个地方呆很多年,如果你安顿下来,游民生活也就结束了,所以这也是一个正常的过程。”
此时我突然想到一个词——“心魔”。还有那句至理名言——“心若没有栖息之地,走到哪里都是流浪。”
我认同清迈正在流失大量数字游民,空气污染加速了他们的离开,但导致他们彻底离开的核心原因还是“心魔”本身,而不是城市的过错。
希望我们每个人都能找到那个安心和安身之地,不只是一时半会的安那种。

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer: STRC Plunge is a Bottom Signal, Bull Market to Start in Autumn

Bitwise CIO: STRC's Plunge Signals Market Bottom, Bull Run Likely This Fall Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan analyzes the recent sharp decline of Strategy's perpetual preferred shares (STRC) and its implications for the bitcoin market. STRC, a product designed for stable, high-yield income, fell dramatically from its $100 target to $75 amid concerns about Strategy's ability to maintain dividends as bitcoin prices dropped. While Strategy's overall balance sheet remains strong, with ample assets to cover liabilities, market panic stemmed from its right to suspend STRC dividends. In response, Strategy introduced a new framework, committing to sell bitcoin as needed to fund dividends and allowing STRC to float freely, abandoning the $100 peg mechanism. This shift marks a change in Strategy's role from a consistent net buyer to a more dynamic participant in the bitcoin market. Hougan views the STRC volatility and related sell-off in MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock as classic late-cycle behavior, where mismatched leverage is being purged from the system. He draws parallels to the GBTC premium unwind after the 2021 bull market. This necessary deleveraging, he argues, is a precursor to finding a market bottom. Key bottoming signals to watch include MSTR trading at a discount to its net asset value (NAV), crypto fear & greed indices hitting extreme lows, and sustained negative bitcoin funding rates. Hougan concludes that as excess leverage is cleared, the market is nearing its bottom, setting the stage for a new bull cycle to begin in the autumn. The next major wave of buyers, he believes, will be institutional investors like banks, asset managers, and pension funds.

The Largest Upgrade Since The Merge? How Glamsterdam Will Affect Ethereum?

Ethereum's next major upgrade, Glamsterdam (combining consensus layer "Gloas" and execution layer "Amsterdam"), is scheduled for late 2026 and considered the most significant overhaul since The Merge. It aims to fundamentally enhance L1 performance and architecture to prepare for substantial capacity increases. The upgrade centers on three core changes: 1. **Enshrined PBS (ePBS - EIP-7732):** Integrates the Proposer-Builder Separation directly into the protocol, eliminating reliance on external relays. This extends the window for processing execution payloads, allowing nodes more time to handle larger blocks and more data, paving the way for a higher Gas Limit. 2. **Block-Level Access Lists (BALs - EIP-7928):** Provides a pre-declared "map" in the block header of all state data (accounts, storage) that transactions will access and modify. This enables potential parallel transaction processing and faster state synchronization for nodes. 3. **Gas Repricing (EIP-8037):** Overhauls the gas model to more accurately reflect the real resource costs for nodes. It separates computation costs from state storage costs, making operations that create permanent state data (like new accounts) more expensive, while computation-heavy operations become relatively cheaper. These changes work together to solve the trilemma of scaling: giving nodes more time to process larger blocks (ePBS), reducing execution bottlenecks (BALs), and controlling unsustainable state growth (Gas Repricing). The goal is a credible path to a higher Gas Limit (e.g., 200M gas) without compromising decentralization by overburdening node hardware. For users: * Transaction fees for simple transfers may decrease and become more stable due to increased block space, but state-intensive operations (contract deployment) may cost more. * Gas estimation by wallets will improve in accuracy. * L2 data posting costs could become more stable long-term due to increased Blob capacity. * EIP-7708 will standardize logs for ETH transfers, improving tracking for wallets and exchanges. Node operators must upgrade clients, but ETH holders need take no action. In essence, Glamsterdam doesn't just raise the block size limit; it re-engineers Ethereum's core block production, execution, and economic models to enable sustainable, decentralized scaling.
