This whole post can fit in 3 sentences without losing anything, and would still remain the worst take of the month. That could have saved you some time, maybe even enough to take a look at a mirror and admit to yourself how important you and your call really are if you can take it while biking and in public offices.

I'm going to say something that will befuddle some Europeans, anger others, and maybe inspire a few. Today I experienced one of the starkest differences between Dutch and American culture. And though it's Dutch, I think it's broadly European. Let me explain. I had an important conference call and took it while biking to a local package pickup point. You walk in, show your code and ID, they hand you your package. Basic. Not a big deal. I wasn't being loud or obnoxious… but yes, I was on the phone. As I was leaving with my package in hand, the other clerk… not the one helping me, the one across the room who wasn't serving anyone… chimed in loudly.. “Next time, finish your call before you come in here to get your package." As an American, I was stunned. As someone who thrives on verbal confrontation, I had all sorts of comebacks flowing through my head. But I was on a call, so I just gave a “WTF?” look and kept walking. Some of you will have no reaction to this. Some will think… sure, you were being rude, and that person had every right to say something. And yes… they do have that right. But… If that happened in the US, the likelihood of that employee being fired on the spot… depending on how the customer reacted or complained… is several orders of magnitude higher than here. In this country, it is nearly impossible to fire an employee. The protections are so vast and far-reaching that workers have no fear, and no reason to check their behavior toward customers. At no point did it even occur to this person that there could be a consequence to speaking to me in that manner… "The customer is always right" does not exist in these parts. It's partly why European waiters carry the stereotype of not really caring about you. They're not working for tips, it's just a job, and firing them is nearly impossible… so where's the incentive to be nice? Funny enough, many Europeans view American retail workers as friendly to an almost weird degree. Understand the incentives and it all makes sense. Net-net, being a customer in the US is a far better experience. But there’s an even deeper issue… America celebrates the individual, and that culture trickles all the way down through business into something like at-will employment. The individual has the right to get up and leave… the owner has the right to fire on the spot. The individual is put on a pedestal. It is our nature. It is our origin story, for better or worse. The Old World is about what I call deference to the institution. The institution above the individual. It's been this way forever, and in my opinion it will never change… for reasons very similar to Zelinsky's Doctrine of First Effective Settlement. Absent a clean slate, cultures don't change even across centuries. You might say…. but Europe empowered the individual in this very story… the clerk got to speak his mind to a customer. Not true. Employees of a company or institution are agents of that institution. So what EU employment protections actually do is not strengthen the individual. They empower the agents of institutions… giving them even more leverage over the actual individual… the customer. The person walking into an establishment acting on their own agency to receive a service. They don't want a lecture from the institution. Europeans should appreciate what they have here. It's easy to complain about low wages, but it's a real trade-off… you get to talk shit to a customer, and another Dutch customer might even nod along… we're a pragmatic society, we speak our minds, we're honest with each other. Who knows which path is the correct one. From a realpolitik, hard power, and innovation perspective… and social mobility… American culture wins every time. And there is a perspective that, regardless of your feelings, your ancient cultural dispositions, or your tolerances… hard power is all that matters in the modern world. Maybe from other perspectives, the EU way wins. I don't know.

@dmoutouss Dani lately:

After spending too much time in Zara’s lately, I have an idea. Presenting ZaBar, the perfect alternative for men forced to go shopping with their other half. The pitch: A corner in Zara (or any store) with couches, a TV playing whatever sport, WiFi, and a fridge with beers and basic drinks. You pay 5€ to get in with a complimentary drink. Want another? Buy it. Then you just sit there and exist in peace. Keeping it simple. A place where men can wait without slowly dying inside next to the fitting rooms. I’ve watched too many guys follow their partner carrying bags and staring into the distance. That man doesn’t want to be there. That man wants a couch and peace. ZaBar gives him both. Looking for the @ZARA team or any retail store willing to test the concept. The demand is standing in your stores right now, and we will be excited to bring our partners to the stores that offer this.

update: 2.3M views thanks for playing solana forever i love you

@brianlong @solana @eightbitsim That's what i meant really

@voshy @solana @eightbitsim Also, not shocked by the people involved

Read this and understand it! @solana traders expect consistent TX behavior regardless of the leader. Sadly, some validators are changing the rules during their leader slots. Thanks to @eightbitsim for excellent work here!

@Ryanair Copying a day old tweet is below your usual level cmn

@BlastCtrl @SuperteamBLKN Here we come

The biggest Solana event of the summer is coming to Belgrade. At Solana Summit by @SuperteamBLKN, BlastCtrl will be organizing and running workshops for teams that want better marketing, stronger socials, and cleaner product positioning. Most of the team will be on the ground all week too, and we're always happy to speak with anyone building something cool on Solana. We can't wait to see you all there!

@lagunacarta @SolanaFndn Hard to beat GREED Academy story 😂

If you could recommend someone on Solana with a really interesting founder story or unusual career path, who would you suggest?

@DonAlt 8) Get support from official solana account and toly on the timeline Thank God it's just hypotetical

If I was a bad actor I would 1) Have someone launch a coin for me 2) Take it over to "save the community" 3)Airdrop a bunch of the supply to friends & influencers *That way they'll stay quiet when it goes to shit 4) A bunch more to my unknown side wallets *Justify it as airdropping to community 5) Look like an angel 6) Cash out on the side holding on main 7) Keep bullposting Coin goes to zero eventually? I'm still holding you idiots did this, why can't we have nice things "I'm losing infinite just as you are" "At least we tried" All the while I'm laughing my way to the bank Glad this is just a hypothetical, would be truly evil if anyone did this

@mrinko @Austin_Federa What a cope sandwich

"I can do work without AI" "I can lose weight without GLPs" "I can get around with just my horse" same vibe innit

@nahuelzn Yeah except he did not lol

- Perisic, jugá de delantero hoy - Ok - Para el próximo partido vas de lateral izquierdo - Dale - Si le pasa algo al arquero estás para atajar? - No hay problema - Ah, y me llamó el DT de la beach volley, falta uno. - Estoy (La foto es real, jugó beach volley para Croacia)

🐂🐂🐂

Oh no, we did it again. Croatia this time. The Drakes flew from all over the world for a week in one of the nicest parts of Croatia, Istria. If you live under a rock: before Breakpoint Singapore, a group of Drakes met up and spent a week together in Bali. It was supposed to be a one time thing, but it ended up being so much fun, we had to run it back. That's how Drakepoint was born. During this first "official" Drakepoint, Drakes enjoyed wine tastings, truffle hunting, island exploring, chilling by the pool in our villas, and amazing dinners that turned into 3am conversations. The kind where people who only knew each other as PFPs turn into actual friends, between people who genuinely move Solana for the last 5 years. There will only ever be 69 Drakes, and 68 are already out there. But the number was never the point. The point is the 68 people you get access to: a small group of founders, investors and builders who actually like spending time together, sharing what they know and backing each other. Owning a Drake isn't having a cool PFP, it's getting in the room. And in Istria, the room did its thing. Someone makes an intro over dinner, someone helps a founder through a problem they've already solved. The stuff you never see on the timeline gets passed around the table. That's the Den. A small curated group with real reach that actually cares and shows up for each other. It goes way beyond that, through Lucid Ventures. Founders building in web3, consumer, infra, AI and across Solana can present to a network that brings more than just capital. A collective drake-telligence that can fund, advise, intro and amplify. Every edition makes the Den a little sharper and the door a little narrower. With 68 already in, there's one seat left. The 69th Drake is the last direct way in. If you've been following the Drakes, this is the moment to make a move. Drakepoint was a glimpse of what the Den is, and a hint of where it's going. It was a huge pleasure to spend this week together, and we can't wait for the next Drakepoint that's already in the works!

“NVDA onchain is cool. But why not cocaine?” That line stuck with @voshy for weeks, and at Solana Summit Germany by @SuperteamDE, he used it to show founders what most pitch decks are missing. Watch the full presentation:
