I think the reason crypto gets compared to a casino comes down to the fact that it’s completely self-custodial and permissionless. In traditional finance, only institutions and wealthy individuals can access sophisticated financial instruments. There are gatekeepers everywhere. But crypto flips this completely. Take @solsticefi as an example, literally anyone with a wallet and interne connection can jump into advanced strategies like delta-neutral yields or provide liquidity. No permission needed, no minimum net worth requirements.
