It’ll be pretty insane if ERC 721s continue fundamental value accrual and outpace ERC 20s. “Sorry about that y’all! Those were all shit coins, NFTs are our real value prop.” -Vitalik 2021

It’s crazy that one of cryptos biggest VCs is known to pressure teams to launch tokens as quickly as possible then pressures them to drive value to equity and never drive real value to tokens

I would never come out and say it publicly because uniswap is one of the most important protocols in crypto but the way labs approached their token and DAO is beyond disgusting.

It exists purely as an indemnification shield and they don’t even try to hide it.

@econoar @karbonbased It’s really hard to come back from lowering fees when switching costs are so low and celestia just waiting to pounce

The amount of work required to simplify the Raptor engine, internalize secondary flow paths and add regenerative cooling for exposed components was staggering.

As a result Raptor 3 doesn’t require any heat shield, eliminating heat shield mass & complexity, as well as the fire suppression system.

It is also lighter, has more thrust and has higher efficiency than Raptor 2.

Truly, a work of art.

@coinfessions def sold an NFT and doesn’t know he has to withdraw from pool

[Why Foo @StupidContracts]

@EntropyAdvisors Projects should start airdropping to confirmed solo stakers.

Also, interesting to think about Ethereum prioritizing design decisions that allow solo staking. Turning down upgrades that increase efficiency at solo staking expense. Kind of bullish solana.

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!

2 biggest issues in crypto today are:
1. Horrid, horrid, horrid terminology fragmentation
2. No apps anyone actually uses
