8 things I really like about @phygitals that other gachas don't have 1) they have custom creator packs like - OG 151 packs with only kanto pokemon - 10% mythic packs (90% of the cards are under the pack price, but 10% are well over) - all or nothing (same as 10% mythic, but 99%/1% where the 1% could be worth 600x more than the pack) - vintage pokemon cards only - fire type pokemon only etc - @ONEPIECE_tcg_EN girls only packs (where I pulled this $300 nami for $100 from) 2) there are also some packs with 90-100% buyback boosts (usually gachas only offer you 85% of the FMV to sell back into) all of the @playriftbound packs have 100% buyback right now 3) their marketplace is one of the most active (maybe beezie is similar or a bit less active, mnstr [you can't even list there as a user] and the rest have very little marketplace activity) 4) you can borrow against your cards this means that it's not a straight up slot machine where you just keep selling back and will lose only average because you can actually do things with your cards you don't need to sell back -- if you get a card you like (like a popular pokemon or one piece character), you can a) hold and list for your desired price, like a limit order b) borrow against it for liquidity obviously c) is ship it to yourself, which I haven't tried yet on any gacha, but shipping and customs can be very expensive + apparently the parcels are often lost/stolen at least with phygitals going through the hassle of redemption or instantly selling back aren't your only choices 5) their claw buyback offers last for 7 days vs 15 mins for beezie 6) they have a proper mobile app in the app store (pls add marketplace functionality here) 7) they will probably have the biggest airdrop of the tokenless gachas, along with beezie 8) they show you card analytics like price over time and pop reports across different graders I still check @getcollectrapp and ebay last sold, but it's nice to have it there as a first sanity check, especially on mobile bonus: it's the only gacha I'm green on, as required. phygitals: +$2168 (74 pulls) beezie: -$1013 (450 pulls) mnstr: -$2495 (474 pulls)

i remember when @symbioticfi was vampiring eigenlayer and everyone thought it would tge before ethereum:0xec53bf9167f50cdeb3ae105f56099aaab9061f83 and become the restaking leader

I’ve come to accept that HIP-3 was never intended to be permissionless (and neither was HIP-1 most probably) cash mounted the most promising assualt on xyz’s hegemony imo, but in retrospect, even with the full backing of tether and 200k USDT per week, there was no hope for cash wouldn’t surprise me to see hyena wind down soon, officially killing non-USDC quote assets and then paragon winding down, all but killing the permissionlessness of HIP-3 HIP-3 is permissionless, but I can’t help but feel that all the DEXs aside from xyz were setup to fail a market can be both free and anti-competitive simultaneously undoubtedly, xyz has the most capital and the highest level of execution, I’m not saying they don’t deserve what they’ve achieved but a monopoly of this scale is unnatural imo we’d all agree that hyperliquid has the most capital and the most competent team of all perp DEXs, but hyperliquid does not have the same level of monopoly over perps as xyz has over HIP-3 @Markets_xyz’s USDC redeployment and @Perpsdotfun are the only things standing in the way of total xyz domination I think it’s pretty self evident to anyone with eyes that unit/xyz is a proxy/extension of the hl team and if the “builder deployed” part of “builder deployed perpetuals” was really a charade all along, then @0xOmnia must be a very annoying problem, as required.

reminder to swap all your USDH to USDC ASAP (hard deadline is july 17th), especially if you have USDH borrows on hypercore your USDH debt will NOT be automatically converted to USDC and you will be at risk of liquidation because borrow rates will increase significantly
