You're like, eh, whatever.
That's no big deal.
I get really worried about this idea that when you start to have contract events on things like elections β
then we get into the things like mistrust and paranoia and conspiracy theories.
Insider trading is something I'm profoundly disturbed by.
Everything's already rigged anyway.
Now things are super rigged.
I even think too, like, I think the two salient examples, like the Maduro, you know, someone who benefited on the capture of Maduro.
And, you know, there was someone who bet on, like, Google search trends that they likely had insider access to and I think made, like,
close to a million dollars, something around there.
And I think a lot about everything Tim said, but I also think when we get to this place, if it's not considered insider trading, who stands to benefit?
And it's those people that have that insider information, which are more likely to be affluent, more likely to have access to those spaces.
So the broader population will just kind of continue to lose out.
And I think this contributes to like the wider kind of economic environment that we're currently in of like vast wealth inequality,
A lot of people feeling really disenfranchised in the current economy and just feeling, you know, nihilistic about their financial futures.
And I think that's what often leads them to gamble.
So number one, I think it starts with the people that regulate gambling.
So that's the governments needing to do better.
I mean, to have better laws and better rules in place and better enforcement.
I think it also starts very simply with the operators that make these apps, ask questions for themselves to say, can we sleep at night?
