An Application That People Want To Use
Earlier this year, we started building @variance_poker, an application that allows you to play a game of poker with friends, settled on-chain.
Motivation
Blockchains have the potential to create networks with desirable outcomes: incentivizing innovation, reducing taxes on creators, and allowing contributors to share in decision-making and benefits. However, without significant adoption, the amazing "tech" behind decentralized networks seems very much like a farce.
This cycle typically described as (1) low float high FDV coins, (2) memecoins, and (3) points. Many are bored and tired of seeing the same pattern repeated over and over again.
I aim to build an application that people actually care about and will use regularly—daily, weekly, or monthly. I do not want to create something that encourages sybil farms to exploit it and then leave after the airdrop. Poker is my only hobby, and it’s something I enjoy playing in my free time.
At a higher level, we hope @variance_poker will introduce poker players around the world to the magnificent world of crypto while providing current folks with a fun and engaging app.
What is Variance Poker?
@variance_poker can be simply described as: Poker with Friends, Settled On-Chain. We aim to replace traditional cardrooms by adopting smart contracts to automate settlement logic and bypass traditional payment systems.
The game starts in 3 steps:
• Create a link
• Send your link to a friend
• Deposit into the vault and start playing.
Roadmap & Timeline
• In beta, we are focusing solely on product market fit, ensuring contract safety and providing players with fair and auditable shuffling logic.
• The initial contracts will be compatible with all EVM networks. Do let us know which chains you would like us to deploy the factory contract on.
• Future features include:
• Mobile Support
• Settlement for Physical Games
• Poker Clubs - allowing communities to set up multiple live tables
• Public games that anyone can participate in
• Freeroll Tournaments
Closing
We will be launching the beta version of our protocol later in July. Drop a comment below if you would like to try the early version of the protocol!

@choffstein@therobotjames Your best chance of finding edge ISN’T in the most liquid markets, it’s 4th tier shitcoin casinos, weak sportsbooks, polymarket stuff
This is important. Arguably the most important thing (like in poker) is table selection

Make a mental note......how do you feel right now?
Now compare this to when ftx was collapsing and the lows of the bearmarket (when you should have bought)
Ok.....yes, we are not yet in full blown euphoria, but, clearly the bullmarket is in full swing.
Observe this feeling, make a mental note of it. Like that you can compare it for when the next bearmarket hits. This is the time you want to strap in, be even more serious with your inner work to stay grounded, take enough profit on the way up, and not lose yourself the coming weeks/months.

Korea declared Martial Law. It was one of the most spectacular trading events I've ever witnessed in my trading career. I've prepared detailed explanations of what exactly happened in the market and why it was so different from any other event. If you enjoyed it, please retweet!
