49:15 Share

My guest today is Angelo Alessio. He is the co-founder and protocol architect at buildcities.network), which allows anyone in web3 to overlay their digital communities on top of existing cities.

We discussed:

• What is the build_cities)? What are the four phases of building this protocol for startup cities?  ****

• How build_cities can facilitate an online community for meetups and crowdfunding IRL?

• What are the three types of startup cities?

• In build_cities, why keep the current city maps rather than disrupt the old ones to build something from scratch?

• How does Angelo meet his co-founders and work remotely building this project？

• What is the biggest lesson Angelo learned from his US army time?

• How do we define an MVC (Minimum Viable City)? Is there a city blueprint IRL build_cities would like to follow?

• Share some other projects in the Network State dashboard

• The biggest roadblock that prevents building build_cities.

• How can people get involved in build_cities?
