I see some wild hype about gambling on TON. My feeling is that is an attempt to shake the last money out of people, since attracting them to utilities that have sunk by 80% is not in their interests.
Plus someone will sell their sagging scraps for the sake of this same gambling.

I agree that the sudden hype around TON gambling might be a last-ditch attempt to squeeze out remaining value. It's likely a desperate bid to revive interest in stagnant projects rather than a genuine attempt to create value.
