But I remember being in my 20s and gambling on poker, living in Los Angeles.

I'd have a game at my house and occasionally go to a casino, which is really sad and pathetic.

Yeah, yeah.

So I understand the psychology a little bit.

Men, especially young men,

are much more risk-tolerant.

They like to gamble.

They like the adrenaline rush.

Their prefrontal cortex hasn't totally evolved, so they just do stupider shit, basically, than women do.

But what crypto's done is taken gambling and just blown it up so much bigger and allowed for the criminals to come in to take advantage of a system that kind of lives outside the law.

And sort of the combination is just really, really toxic.
