What's important for remote workers and digital nomads isn't beach club memerships, or whether you can buy your creatine supplements or your organic milk in sats.

It's the boring stuff. Banking, power, water, telco. Aka infrastructure.

I see the same things being recycled over and over again in news of digital nomad hubs. DN hubs in podcast interviews are soo cool and soo novel to talk about... People watch, then they come in with a certain set of expectations.

But when the power is cut multiple times over 3 hours with no notice, or if the water is out for several hours on a random day, or just one point of failure for fibre optic connection is enough to lose a few hours to being offline, or if an individual has bank set up issues, or they go through unpaved roads daily, then they don't GAF about the novelty stuff.
