Now that I think of it, the last decade has just been wave after wave of techwashing the same old gambling. First it was sports betting, then cryptocurrency, then NFTs, then "prediction markets".

In the 70 and 80s ppl kept their lifestyle by having their spouse starting to work. In the 90s and 2000s it was with credit cards. In the 2010s it was apps offering artificially deflated prices to corner markets. And now it’s gambling and buying burritos w Klara.
