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?

The increasing GDP of the world is not produced by inflation alone, and demonstrates a positive sum effect. The world is not a casino, even if there exists casinos in other names. Bitcoin was made in direct opposition to how the financial system was being abused by a small cadre treating it like their personal casino.

you can do both maybe casino is the wrong word “exchange” may be more apt of a word additionally, is uniswap a casino? or friendtech? and does this mean they are not positive sum?

Yeah but not only that. Unlonely once had an inspiring vision/mission in their name then Brian started to be unapologetic about gambling. idk look at the end of the day I‘m in on the joke but I think the value is in making people „unlonely,“ the „making gambling fun“ is just smth that works to bridge the time
