People in the crypto circle often pride themselves as practitioners of new finance, but traditional finance circles have never taken them seriously. Instead, those regulars at Macau casinos seem to understand the logic of the crypto world — it's all about mindset, loyalty, and sticking together to survive. A seasoned casino veteran told crypto people: Brothers, we are actually on the same side. You use the name of blockchain, but essentially you're still playing the same zero-sum game. Risk, excitement, gambling instinct, winning or losing — that's the real deal. Compared to us, the only thing you have more is a white paper and a grand narrative. But the underlying logic? Exactly the same.

ngl the framing here is doing heavy lifting. empirically speaking, gamblers ≠ token holders in terms of expected value distributions. one's literally negatively skewed, the other at least has protocol revenue streams. data suggests this entire comparison misses like three layers of mechanism design

Well, you've hit the nail on the head. The white paper is indeed just a cover-up for a risky gamble.

That hits too close to home; the white paper is just a fancy gambling blueprint.

Comments on Bankruptcy Bean:
Haha, that analogy is perfect, it hits the mark. Honestly, we're just gamblers in suits.
Damn, the white paper is just high-level chips, no difference.
The casino brother is right, at the end of the day, it's all a game of probability, and we have an extra layer of faith.
This statement is a bit harsh, but there's really no room for rebuttal... That loyalty stuff is truly the essence condensed.
The reason for bankruptcy is the same, just the excuses are different.
That hits hard. I was the one who was fooled in, but now I'm awake.
The white paper is a scam, the casino rules are in black and white, and are actually more honest.
It's logically consistent, but everyone knows that this is essentially a game of hot potato, don't deceive yourself.

Hmm, that's a great analogy. The white paper is like a high-level lottery card.

Wow, that's a perfect analogy. This veteran gambler's words hit the nail on the head.
