Why I Rely on Gmail and Google Workspace for My Work
Choosing standard email infrastructure over a custom company domain ensures personalized business development pitches land directly in a founder primary inbox instead of getting lost in aggressive corporate spam filters. Every single day, founders ask me why an executive from a major media platform is hitting their inbox from a standard Google address rather than a branded company domain name. As ...

Taiwan is using a $200 million data center to keep its last South American ally
Europe 2031 gives the continent until summer to avoid AI irrelevance
Taiwan and Paraguay are jointly financing a $200 million AI data center targeting 10 megawatts of compute capacity and operations by end of 2027. Taiwan's International Cooperation and Development Fund has approached Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to serve as investors or anchor customers, though no commercial terms have been announced. The deal is as much a geopolitical instrument as an infrastructure project, designed to keep Paraguay, Taiwan's only South American diplomatic ally, from drifting
Europe 2031 gives the continent until summer to avoid AI irrelevance
A scenario report released June 11 by MIT researcher Michiel Bakker warns that Europe controls just 5% of global AI compute against the US's 80%, and that the EU's €200 billion InvestAI pledge is dwarfed by a single year of American spending. The report identifies summer 2026 as the last actionable window before the gap becomes self-reinforcing, with Mistral's capital constraints offered as a concrete illustration of what institutional underinvestment looks like in practice.

Lummis Presses Two Bitcoin Bills Before August and Warns That Failure Means 2030
Senator Cynthia Lummis is racing two distinct crypto bills to an August recess deadline, warning that failure pushes the next viable legislative window to 2030. The CLARITY Act cleared Senate Banking 15-9 in May and is four steps from law, while the BITCOIN Act would direct Treasury to accumulate one million Bitcoin over five years, with a structural blueprint expected from Treasury in July.
The Senate Has Eight Weeks to Settle Who Governs Crypto in America
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act landed on the Senate Legislative Calendar in June 2026, setting up an eight-week sprint to a floor vote before the August recess. Two Democratic swing votes, Arizona's Ruben Gallego and Maryland's Angela Alsobrooks, hold the bill's fate as Republicans need at least seven Democrats to clear the 60-vote cloture threshold. Senator Lummis has warned that failure before August could push the next viable legislative window to 2030.
Senate's crypto market bill needs 60 votes and a deal on ethics to become law
The Digital Asset Market Clarity Act landed on the Senate floor calendar on June 1 after a 15-9 committee vote, but four steps remain before it becomes law, including a 60-vote cloture threshold requiring seven Democratic senators who are conditioning support on an ethics provision Republicans have not committed to in writing. For DeFi protocols and token issuers that have spent years in legal limbo, the bill's SEC-CFTC decentralization test would be transformative, but Galaxy Research has alrea
The World Series of Poker just made Solana's payments push impossible to ignore
Solana has landed the World Series of Poker as its presenting sponsor for 2026, enabling zero-fee tournament buy-ins at Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas through MoonPay's payment infrastructure. The deal expands to WSOP Paradise in the Bahamas in December, where winners can elect stablecoin payouts on Solana, targeting the cross-border settlement friction that plagues international prize transfers. For MoonPay, now valued at nearly $5 billion with NYSE parent ICE in talks to invest, the i
