Crypto Mansions, NFT tickets and when NOT to use CASH

Crypto culture meets real-world utility. This week we talk Builder’s Mansion (yes, an actual mansion near Paris) and why in-person builder energy still hits differently — especially in the Solana scene. Then we get into why NFT tickets are still a match made in heaven, how they can act as proof of ownership/membership, and why the tech makes resale royalties and anti-scalping way more realistic than traditional systems. We also unpack what held ticketing back last time (hello, door scanning + identity checks), why it’s easier to build now thanks to better payment gateways and “vibe coding,” and how a unified, simple tool could genuinely help independent venues and small events without getting trapped in legacy ticketing giants. Plus: a quick reality check on the fiat/regulatory side and what partnering with payments providers can simplify.
