Duel launched Rock Paper Scissors - no house edge, just live 1v1 PvP.
The whole point: 100% RTP. Nobody makes money on the round itself - it's just a fair 1:1 online matchup. You create a game, set your bet size and accepted currencies, or join an existing one.
How the PF works: both players' picks get hashed (SHA256 + a client key) and locked in before either side reveals. After the round, both keys and picks are published - anyone can recompute the hashes and verify neither side changed their pick mid-game.
True 1v1, no house in between.
Maybe we can do RPS tournaments for now - no more giveaways, just double or lose your prize.
The crowded trade problem is one of the more counterintuitive risks in markets.
The common assumption is that if a lot of smart people are in the same position, that position is probably correct. The analysis is sound, the thesis is well-constructed, and broad agreement seems like validation. But what crowding actually does is change the exit dynamics entirely.
When everyone is on the same side, the position works until it doesn't, and when it doesn't, the exit is simultaneous. There's nobody to sell to except other holders who are trying to exit for the same reason. The fundamental thesis can be completely right and the position can still produce a painful drawdown purely because the unwind is simultaneous and there's no incremental buyer to absorb it.
The most dangerous trades in crypto are the ones that feel safe because everyone agrees with them. The consensus is often correct on direction and catastrophic on timing, because the consensus getting in is what makes the eventual unwind violent.
