Dearest reader,
It appears that Slane Castle has acquired a rather peculiar collection of guests.
Not dukes.
Not duchesses.
Not even the usual assortment of society’s finest.
But founders, engineers, and operators.
Some eighty of them, if the whispers are to be believed.
They have gathered for a fortnight under the rather intriguing name CastleDAO, where they shall spend their days building ambitious technology companies, with considerably less interruption than one might expect from ordinary society.
There shall be no endless parade of meetings.
Instead, the hours are largely theirs to build.
And on September 4th, whatever they have managed to conjure from those quiet hours shall be presented at Demo Day.
How delightfully suspicious.
One wonders what shall emerge from the castle.
I, for one, shall be watching.
Your most curious correspondent

If you think Crypto is dead.
Think again.
Crypto is just waiting for its "email moment."
Not necessarily faster blockchains nor cheaper transactions.
Just an experience so simple that you stop thinking about the infrastructure.
The new Solflare Bridge made me realize we're getting closer.
A few years from now, I don't think anyone will ask:
"Which bridge did you use?"
Just like nobody asks what email server delivered a message.
Email changed the internet in a simple way.
You didn't need to know what server someone used.
You just needed an address.
Crypto still hasn't reached that level of simplicity.
But we are getting there.
One thing I've never enjoyed about moving assets between chains is the too many steps.
And still have the uncertainty.
Am I about to make an expensive mistake?
Even after a year in crypto, that feeling never completely disappeared.
That's why a permanent deposit address on the @solflare Wallet makes me more confident.
Instead of:
"Which bridge should I use today?"
It becomes:
"Here's my address."
That simple.
Good infrastructure is the one you don't have to think too much.
The fewer questions users have to answer.
The more confident they become.
Confidence is one of the most underrated forms of adoption.
I hope five years from now, we actually get our "email moment"
Because when infrastructure disappears into the background.
People finally focus on what they actually came to do.
And that's what the new @solflare Bridge represents.
Not another feature.
But a step toward crypto that feels less like rocket science.
and more like simply sending value.
That's the future I'm excited to see.
The MoonPay campaign just made me realize something.
Everybody wants to get rewarded.
Big stimmy, medium stimmy, small stimmy.
It doesn't really matter the amount.
We just want to post when others are posting.
To show we also got some.
Some even go to the extent of faking rewards.
Yes, I've been seeing a lot of that lately.
So if you genuinely what to bag some rewards, here's what you should do🧵
