There's nothing brilliant about #blockchain gambling schemes; "the blockchain" itself is merely a sort of electronic ledger, and the virtues of the "blockchain economy" are merely copied off the existing ways in which people can gamble and speculate upon worthless investment opportunities. The only thing that's truly novel about #crypto is that, merely by copying what other blockchain gamblers have already done and spicing it up with some novel marketing gimmicks, there can now be a hundred thousand mini-economies instead of a limited handful.
There's practically zero actual #innovation going on, beyond fostering a whole new ecosystem of gamblers and grifters who are pulling much the same sort of scams that an earlier generation of scam artists have pulled off. The "wealth" being "created" by this crypto speculation is of a wholly destructive sort: the crypto gamblers are invited to believe that hunks of cryptographic hash (i.e. hunks of #entropy, in physical truth) are somehow equivalent to hunks of gold, merely because the hunks of cryptographic hash are technically all different from one another. One might as well gamble on thermal noise.
