“casino culture”

sports betting, shitcoins, meme stocks, vibe coding 100m in six hours, etc are all expressions of the same deep cultural rot. if youth don’t believe there’s legitimate ways to get rich through work, all of culture will become a rotten sports book for the soul

Hyperliquid

Yeah but the hyper financialization is how global markets can service Korean skin care, Japanese Matcha, and Chinese iphones while delivering them within 2hours straight to your door.

I don't think you can have this robust global financial market with an army of people who know how they work, and not have that information spread into pure gambling. Robinhood is a household name now.
