The Man of Tomorrow series delves beyond surface highlights, offering a glimpse into my daily life! Bits on how I spend my time, lessons learned, and motivational insights to spark your ambition.
Somewhere along the way, I realized something simple but easy to ignore in fast-moving spaces! I know that chasing the next “crazy airdrop” isn’t the strategy… but consistency is!
If you read Man Of Tomorrow #23 - I Was An Idiot And Lost Everything you know I mess it up badly during the summer and there's no way back from that!
My Limitless strategy for the road to legend was based on volume and stats. I said I will cascade any wins into the next "sure" game I find on the list!
It started at Azteca, where Mexico beat South Africa and I recorded my first win! It ended up with heavy losses on Argentina, Spain, Germany and Argentina again!
Argentina will beat Cabo Verde 3-0 right? Unless you live under a rock... you know they needed extra time so boom.... I was an idiot until the end and lost everything!
My whole portfolio is gone and my Limitless PnL gone to -$47,699 abyssal depths! Then I lost some more on Polymarket to make the cycle complete!
So short story my whole portfolio I built since 2020 is gone and lost $56,000 in about one month! What's left to do? Accept it and go back in the trenches! I will make them back by 2028! That's my goal!
I build a fair portfolio since 2020, through hard work and sleepless nights! I was drained twice, got rugged few times but this time I rugged myself badly. This is the story that tops everything!
Not joking... I was an idiot and lost everything! To add some context into the story... I had gambling issues in the past and after years of compulsive betting I decided to stop. I kept away for 5-6 years!
Now the plan is to make it back... no matter how long it takes! I am ready for the trials, the sleepless nights and whatever is needed to resurrect my portfolio!
Every win is a win so even the Travala bonus for being a Smart Gold member was welcome! Got $13 but this was just the beginning! More to come right?
I think this was the moment when compulsive gambling hit in, and told myself I can win it back by going for volume and daily quests. Was a perfect plan!
However, it went wrong when Uruguay didn't beat Saudi Arabia and Portugal drew with Congo! Down the rabbit hole with the same "I will make them back attitude" and I nearly did it!
Slowly made my way back but by now I swapped every other assets in USDC and played the all-in roulette! Lost again! But at least I did some free prediction on Tria!
Using the Tria card often, and having a prediction tournament was an extra perk! Wasn't the best but I won $100 USDC at the raffle.. which topped-up the card!
Staking $ZEN went live and I had to tap in nice and early! With staking now live on Horizen Mainnet, the only part that catches most people out is getting their assets onto the right network.
If your ZEN is sitting on Base or on a centralized exchange, you're only a few minutes away from putting it to work. Check this Horizen $ZEN Staking Guide to start!
The first thing you'll need is a Web3 wallet, ZEN on Base and a small amount of ETH. Then stake, earn, and claim whenever you want. The $ZEN keeps adding up until then!
It wasn't a full month of staking rewards, maybe only few days, but the APR was at top percentages. Got 3.77 $ZEN and compounded! Another $15 added in the bag!
Being access restricted on Rally feels like living in the UK. Somehow everything is slightly worse than expected, with 10 months of rain a year abd gravy on a perfectly innocent roast.
Now Rally decided I need a timeout. Access restricted so Rally is not available in your region due to regulatory restrictions. At least I had some wins before this drastic punishment!
So naturally, I asked myself the important question... should I sell my Rally Wingston NFTs? Absolutely not. They’re already 60% down from mint/buy price.
Got a free mint but bought more thinking they will pump! Wrong move! At least I got $25.81 for doing tasks and shitposting before being located in the UK was a crime!
Pinky promise I will stop gambling on prediction markets! I've heard this in a movie and make sense each time I say it! A player never stops... just changes the table!
So I shifted to poker! The game has been around forever, and the way we play it online hasn't changed all that much. You deposit money into a platform, sit at a table and play your hands!
Divvy Poker is taking a more Web3-native approach! It's what blockchain infrastructure can potentially change underneath the game. This one is Solana powered!
They brought the familiar poker experience into a wallet-native environment where players can interact with the platform using crypto rather than relying on the online casino model.
Game mechanics can also use cryptographically verifiable randomness for shuffling, giving players stronger assurances that the cards aren't being manipulated.
In simple terms, the experience becomes much closer to connecting your wallet, buying into a table, playing your hands and taking your winnings back to your wallet.
That creates an interesting intersection between traditional poker and onchain infrastructure. Divvy has also explored community-driven tournaments and private poker experiences!
They opening the door for DAOs, communities and Web3 projects to create their own poker events rather than everything being controlled by one centralized operator.
I got a free Divvy Pass for a DAO tournament and managed to finish 6th, which came with a $35 reward straight into my wallet! PVM is back baby!
Divvy Poker is making parts of the underlying infrastructure more transparent, wallet-native and potentially composable. I may make some free money so I am ... all-in!
Poker is still poker. There is skill, there is variance and there is money on the line. Blockchain doesn't magically remove the risk involved in gambling!
Divvy Poker is an interesting experiment in what happens when a very old game meets very new financial infrastructure. I had to make a plan and win!
So Divvy has a Sunday Tournament with big money that requires a pass! You earn a pass by finishing top 5 in the free tournaments throughout the week!
There are also games with $3 entry fee where the prize can get bigger from registrations. On this ones you also get some bounties when eliminating others!
Paid $3 and put my poker face! Went in many 1v1 all-in battles and won them all. Ended up winning the tournament and getting $30 in profit!
So far played in two tournaments on Divvy and won $65 by having fun! The cards might be the same, but the rails underneath them are changing.
Here's the start of the greatest come-back in crypto history! PVM the Dumb trying to make back $56k he lost during the 2026 Football World Cup!
Got $13 from Travala, a lucky $100 at the Tria raffle, $15 from Horizen staking and $26 for posting those Rally silly prompts before got a region restriction!
We are adding 65 USDC for being a poker troll on Divvy and that takes it to $219 for the full month of July! Now it's just $55,781 to recover!
