as all of you know, i am not a big fan of 99% of non-L1 tokens. i believe...actually, i KNOW... that their utility is completely made up and that you do not capture actual value if you have a useless governance or buy-and-burn token model.
and if you are truly honest with yourself, you will admit that most people are just here to gamble and speculate.
but every now and then i find a smol, but great application of a token. i think BULLET is a new mini meta: on-chain telegram games.
I've been playing on-chain russian roulette with a couple of friends for the past days on telegram. super fun, provably random and much better community vibe than 99% of projects. i have lost about 5k usd so far. but i think this project actually makes sense, because it allows random people to gamble against each other online in a decentralized manner. everyone in crypto is a gambler.
you have an erc20 contract for the token and another game contract, which has access to the BULLET tokens in your wallet. you can then type commands to play the game in telegram itself. you can only play in their token.
i got in at marketcap 85k usd at the first game, now it is almost one milli: https://t.co/jOj9ZhU3EI
I AM NOT ENCOURAGING YOU TO SPECULATE ON THE TOKEN. I AM ENCOURAGING YOU TO JOIN AND PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE AGAINST ME.

Things continue to move very quickly.
I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible.
I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to.
Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business?

I dumped a live Ethereum contract into GPT-4.
In an instant, it highlighted a number of security vulnerabilities and pointed out surface areas where the contract could be exploited. It then verified a specific way I could exploit the contract
Massive announcement by the Fed and US policymakers.
The gist: all depositors of SVB and Signature Bank made whole, and a new facility to provide liquidity to banks under stress.

I’m selecting “hide” for some garbage that’ll rug my wallet and instead of the bottom right button saying “hide” like it did forever it now says “List 1 Item” with “accept 1 offer” right next to it.
