I’ve long wanted to combine two passions of mine. Bitcoin and poker. I want to do this in the form of a meet-up style poker game where it is mandatory to use Lightning to buy in and cash out.

Tiny game. The goal is to spread the word and use of LN, not have people lose a bunch of sats. It’s cool how well the LN could facilitate a game like that. You could play a game as small as 200 sat buy in with 1 sat 2 sat as the blinds! What other electronic payment network would make that seamless? None!

I’ve dreamt of it for a while. I haven’t done anything besides dream, but I imagine the game being held once a month at a facility that lets us buy food and drinks with sats, once a month, bitcoin books and zines all around for people to look through, Lessons from competent bitcoiners teaching others the tools and wallets available to us, awesome bitcoin conversation while we beat each other up on the poker felt.
