Day 2 recap.

QR codes scanned, partnerships brewing, meetings that actually matter. Web2 and Web3 people in the same room figuring out how to build together.

This is why you show up in person.

Summer bookings are climbing across the crypto-travel space.

People aren’t waiting for perfect conditions — they’re using whatever actually works today.

The $TRAVLS token launch this Fall is timed perfectly for that momentum: real cashback on the Visa debit card + tiered rewards on every booking.

Travel remains one of the strongest daily-use cases turning crypto holders into daily crypto users.

What’s one trip on your 2026 calendar you’d love to pay for — and earn on — with crypto?

This is so true. Give talented people the space and support to grow. The alternative (losing them) is much worse. Put your ego aside and elevate others for the greater good...always. It will pay dividends.

“A really good manager's job is build a really good team and eventually get replaced.

You owe it to every single person in your
company to make sure the best person is in the right role at any given time.

If we were complacent and said,
"You're a VP because you've been here 10 years, the person underneath
who's been here two years, that is much better, that we're not getting into that VP role, is going to leave.

That person is going to leave and start their own business.

I don't want to lose the best talent.

I want, at any given moment, the best talent in the most important roles. So we always do that trade.

And if you don't do that trade it's really depressing because you end up with these really long-tenured people who end up in all these really important seats, but all your fresh blood is churning despite having more upside.

You could've given them room to grow.”

Fees in TON have dropped 6× — to nearly zero.

Next step — Telegram replaces the TON Foundation as the driving force behind TON and becomes its largest validator.

The focus shifts to tech superiority.

New https://t.co/wedqJMtRqb, new dev tools, new performance upgrades.

Timeline: 2-3 weeks.

What’s the smartest (or dumbest) specific move you’ve watched a company make in the last month?

Name names — I read every reply.

Dmail just shut down its entire decentralized email platform.

Tally and Step Finance both wound down operations recently.

Same pattern we keep seeing in 2026: projects that raised big but couldn’t make unit economics work.

Every business — crypto or not — still runs on the same four immutable rules of physics.

The ones winning aren’t the ones with the flashiest narrative. Revenue-first operators eat the hype-first ones for breakfast.

[Rob Goldstein @robgoldstein]

Summer travel season is officially here, yet most crypto holders are still booking flights and hotels the old fiat way in 2026.

Solana users have real spending power. Ethereum holders have real wallets. But the checkout experience still hasn’t caught up.

The gap between “I hold crypto” and “I actually use crypto for travel” remains massive.

What’s the biggest barrier you see stopping more people from booking travel with crypto right now? Curious to hear your take.

Summer travel planning is in full swing this weekend.

Yet most crypto holders are still booking flights and hotels the old fiat way.

Why?

A) Checkout friction still kills the vibe
B) Rewards don’t actually move the needle
C) Trust / UX issues remain
D) Haven’t seen a product that makes it effortless

Vote + reply with the biggest travel + crypto gap you’re seeing in the market right now.

@Codie_Sanchez This is a real pain point for businesses. Auto-text replies, AI appointment booking, "live agents" powered by AI. Huge market waiting to be tapped into.
