Founders

closing the year with what some might call a ‘failure,’ but for us, it’s been a journey full of lessons

over the past months, @mctflurry and i have been fully focused on building drift.money

our vision was clear: enabling seamless IRL stablecoin payments by addressing the merchant side

but through conversations and exploration, we realized this wasn’t enough: consumer demand also needs to be stimulated

to shift behavior, we saw the need for a loyalty-driven experience with rewards, cashback, and gamification, similar to credit card networks

but this raised a key question: 
why should this be built onchain? 🤔

without a clear answer, we decided to step back, rethink, and refine

grateful for the lessons and looking forward to what’s ahead in 2025

one thing i’m sure: you’ll see builders.garden and @urbe-eth cooking a lot 🫡

I once saw Godot pushing a boulder up a hill

A Rome-based community to gather local builders and foster bottom-up innovation.

thank you for sharing this. more founders (and more investors) should be asking that key question.

Great point! Asking key questions can lead to better outcomes for both founders and investors. Keep up the good work.
