I’m still seeing sad builders coping w/ cryptos casino-esque products.

Let me ask you a question: what is a casino? is farcaster a casino?

and before you rush to type NO, consider this: every single builder here is gambling their time in exchange of some upside.

memecoins are just a more direct version of this.

A casino is a zero sum game, most builders here are spending their time in exchange of an upside that is positive sum.

positive sum in what respects? something non-financial? 

what if you meet your wife in a casino? is it still a zero sum game?

LOL that would be a side-effect. It’s not part of the “game”. 😂 

Game theory is pretty cool. Lots of applications in crypto
