@NTmoney I’m in

From the beginning my goal has always been for 1confirmation to be user aligned bc I think that’s how to generate the best crypto returns long-term. What that means is we only invest early in products that we like from a user POV and are positive sum for the space. We don’t chase popular narratives or zero sum copycats. We’ve learned the most impactful products are led by mission driven founders building before the narrative exists. We prefer to dump on institutions rather than retail - that’s how most of our returns have been generated so far. And we keep our funds relatively small to stay focused on the strategy. There are lots of ways to make money. The bet we are making is being user aligned is how to win biggest over decades and help bring crypto to 1B+ as fast as possible. Let’s see.

@RedirectedPanda @NBATopShot @flowty_io for what?

@concourseproj anywhere I can find a promo code? for this?

August, you are looking mighty fine. 🤩

@vinylsneverdie Not great legs

These shoes are amazing in comfort and design. Huge thank you to the team for sending me a pair. They will be shown off all summer.

@iRacer77 @OrlandoMagic Heat / magic series it would have been heat in 6 right? (Without butler)

As an @OrlandoMagic fan it pains me to feel this way, but I can't help but sit here and be jealous of the Miami Heat... Year after year this team finds a way to win big game after big game despite being the underdog. I really hope the Magic can somehow harness some of this mental toughness before their game tomorrow because they really need it.

@PackripEwing this def isn’t the most expensive topshot moment…

Top Shot's Wemby 1/1 auction just smashed the record for any digital collectible (Sorare) or physical card, selling for $145,000. In my opinion, any collectibles media brand/company not reporting on this has zero credibility.

Today marks 13 years since online poker’s “Black Friday,” when the DoJ shut down PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. This was one of the most impactful events in my life. Here are 3 good decisions, and 3 bad ones, I made in the aftermath. In 2011 I was one of the top online poker pros, battling anyone and everyone at the highest stakes available. I had built up a $50 bankroll as a broke college student into millions of “Full Tilt Poker Bucks” which I naively assumed were as good as cash. On April 15th, I went to log in at fulltiltpoker.com. The always busy poker lobby was replaced with an FBI seizure notice. I thought for sure the site had just been hacked or something. The image covering the homepage was a grainy 500px wide graphic that looked like it was made in MS Paint. Unfortunately despite the bush league computer design skills, this seizure was legit. The biggest poker sites were offline, indictments against their executives had been unsealed, and the online poker world would never be the same. Here's what I did next... Good decision 1: I quickly took action on moving to Canada. While USA players’ money was indefinitely frozen, rumblings were that “rest of world” players could still cash out without issue. I got my butt up to Montreal, leased an apartment, set up banking, and scrambled together whatever documents I needed to establish Canadian residency in the eyes of the poker sites. My bankroll was unlocked. This turned out to be a really fortunate move. Just a few months later, Full Tilt Poker (where I kept the majority of my online poker funds) unraveled as a Ponzi-ish scheme and what was left of player deposits was frozen. I got out in the nick of time. Bad decision 1: once I unlocked my bankroll, I gambled horribly in whatever poker games were available. My bread and butter game of Pot Limit Omaha was completely dead after Black Friday. So I decided to battle a couple of really savvy No Limit Draw specialists in a game I was badly outmatched in. I predictably lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. I think internally I felt a sense of “found money” with my newly recovered poker money, and I just didn’t take it seriously. It would have been smart to cash out completely and take a few months to reflect before deciding what to do next. That's a good reminder to do this in life around any sort of major transition event. It's tough... you don't want to sit there and not do anything (I would have had my cash frozen for a long time if I hadn't quickly made it up to Canada), but you also don't want to make too many rushed decisions. Still working on this! Good decision 2: Black Friday led me to be an early adopter of crypto. With PokerStars/Full Tilt Poker out of the picture and US regulators watching traditional payment rails like a hawk, the remaining poker sites started to turn to a weird new thing called Bitcoin to facilitate player deposits and withdrawals. Most people were extremely skeptical of Bitcoin at the time, but I was open minded enough to use it as long as it enabled my online gambling addiction, err I mean profession. Some of these early crypto poker games were incredibly juicy. I was battling against dark web drug dealers who had more Bitcoin than they knew what to do with, and no clue how to play cards. Most pros didn't make it over to these games due to the friction and mental leap required to play crypto denominated poker in the early 2010's. Back then Bitcoin wallets were soooo clunky, exchanges sucked, and in general crypto was a very fringe corner of the internet. Bad decision 2: I had complete tunnel vision on poker and never zoomed out to see if this crypto thing might have had legs on its own. In 2013, I thought Bitcoin was awesome because it allowed me to continue to play online poker. I saw how useful it was for financial transactions. But I never really drank the Kool-Aid or did enough digging to see that maybe crypto is an area I should be investing my time or money into. Despite buying and selling lots of sub-$1000 Bitcoin, I basically totally missed out on the appreciation in crypto's earliest cycles. Good decision 3: I branched out from playing just the top 2 poker sites (PokerStars and Full Tilt) to sites 3-10, with huge success. Most of the very best poker pros exclusively played on PokerStars and Full Tilt. After Black Friday though, the online poker market became more and more fragmented. Now that I was set up with Canadian residency, I attacked the tables on sites like 888 Poker/iPoker/Microgaming hard. These games were a little under the radar, but they were plenty big and could be very soft. They made 2013-2015 some of my most profitable poker years. Bad decision 3: I stayed in the poker world for too long. Poker was a huge part of my life, and I loved it. But I should have moved onto something else earlier. When I did finally leave poker completely and move on to start my e-commerce business, I realized how burnt out I had become. Learning something new was super rejuvenating even if it meant starting over as a microstakes player in a new game. It's also been nice to work in an industry that is less of a nonstop dopamine rush up or down. I think gambling for a living is pretty bad for your brain, at least for 95% of people (including myself). Anyways, it's crazy that Black Friday was so long ago. In some ways logging in and seeing that FBI seizure notice feels like yesterday. In others, poker seems like a lifetime ago for me.

@damochaprince not great

This was a massive consolidation event for my collection. Sold A LOT of moments this last week to make this happen and realized a TON of losses. Almost all of MGLE3, MSFE, Base S1, legos, + a ton of TSDs I never thought I'd sell. With that, I'm done. Best of luck to all!

@LiveTokenBot Nice ! Congrats on the sick buy !

@Schokobub2 @NBATopShot Relax brother

If there are errors in the organizer of the game there must be a null solution. The event day or the game must be deleted. @NBATopShot There a lot of Player who lost of Luka Doncic Today and that is Your Fault.

VCs who are investing in memecoins: what are you telling your LPs? (Bonus points if you're not telling them)

@DanRose773 @PackripEwing Haha

@PackripEwing Thinking litigation? Let me know, my firm could be a resource.

🚩 When the CEO of your new company fires you via email out of the blue after 4 weeks. Well, that was an interesting and short lived experience with a potentially fraudulent tech startup. Let’s see what happens next.

@PackripEwing I’m hiring.

@NTmoney excellent

Long live the honorable degens ♥️

@packdrip This is very funny
