Yesterday we asked what would actually get you to try a Web3 travel platform.

No option ran away with it - the responses were split roughly evenly across zero-markup pricing, working crypto payments, non-expiring rewards, and a trustworthy founder.

That split says something useful: travelers don't need one killer feature. They need the whole stack to finally work together in one product.

One platform making a serious attempt at exactly that is Staynex:

• Access to 2.6M+ hotels with zero markup on nightly rates
• Hybrid payments: credit card, wallets, 100+ cryptocurrencies
• On-chain rewards that travel with the user across the network
• Jeff Hoffman, founder of Booking.com, serves as Chairman

Not a pitch - just a pointer for anyone whose vote reflected real frustration with how travel platforms work today.

😺 Altman faces investor pressure over conflicts tied to OpenAI deals

WSJ reports that Sam Altman’s personal investments are clashing with OpenAI decisions. In the Helion case, he pushed OpenAI to join a $500M round at a $35B valuation, a 6x jump, despite the reactor promised for 2024 not being built.

Helion develops fusion energy. OpenAI declined to invest but signed a deal to buy up to 50 GW by 2035, about 25 Hoover Dams. Helion now uses this contract to raise a new round, increasing Altman’s stake.

Similar cases involved Stoke Space and Merge Labs, where Altman also had stakes. Investors are now questioning his role ahead of a potential IPO, with Bret Taylor named as a possible successor.
