"@VitalikButerin @0xSisyphus The problem is that ship has been sailing the other way for [--] years (since UIGEA). Dont really see what brings it back tbh Was discussing in this thread earlier this week @wclemente the adverse selection would be so incredible. the logical conclusion (iho) is that gambling pendulum has swung too far not that people should be able to buy priv cos easier. tho generally think ppl should be able to do what they want w their own $ (ie gamble recklessly) some @wclemente the adverse selection would be so incredible. the logical conclusion (iho) is that gambling pendulum"
