Have you seen the mess that is eos and tron? over 300 fucking gambling apps in the most revolutionary blockchains....or so they were called.

Tell me  pray, why a company like JPmorgan or say samsung populated by addicts looking to make a buck by throwing away a lot of money.

Is that what we want for long term adoption?


Ill keep this brief, I am not a whale, I am not n dolphin, I am however a long time user of the steem platform.

All through the 2 years I have been on steem, I have seen so many things go down, thanks to steem, I learnt how to be political, I learnt how to be cunning, I learnt how to approach people etc

Steem has never been a perfect economy, right from day 1, issues concerning whales and the likes have been on .

But now, the killer of them all is here and the community love it for some reason.

# Gambling fucking games
Point blank, these are unsustainable models, created solely to enrich the owners until such a time that they are tired and decide to stop their services with a **''thank you for the fish, see you later'** kind of deal.
Their tokens generated give no usecases whatsoever apart from ''paying users dividends'' and ''profit sharing''

Are we as a community so blinded with short term greed that we cannot see this will end badly for everyone?

Funny, the truth is simple, **we** know its bad, **we** just do not care, everyone is out for themselves, everyone wants to be the first to get in and get out, make maximum profit and continue living, some want to be ambassadors so they get some form of profit, the idea of a community took a backseat long ago.

We complain of the govt and people in power having shady behaviors, yet we as a people do far worst.

There is a rule in gambling that I have long since known, the house always wins....

No two ways about that, the house will win on the long run.

At least @steemluck tries to look legit by burning a certain amount of steem per month.

@steem-bet just came up with a clone, after claiming to be the next generation betting site. 
***
Its cool tho, if that is what is reigning on steem, I might as well jump on the bandwagon and create a ''revolutionary'' gambling game as well.

Goodluck steem, you did a wonderful service, but its time to die.

# A small contest
Quite simple, tell me what benefits the gambling dapps have to offer to the steem blockchain and ill give you 40,000 ken token straight.
***
*Note, Ill likely be keeping an eye on these gambling dapps and possibly partnering with them in the future so as to make sure they are honest enough in their claims.*

Wonderful observations bro, issues like this and more makes one questions the state of the steem ecosystem 

Is steemit truly a community that protect her weakest members?

How decentralized is the steem blockchain?

Does Steemit still care about user retention again or about the stakeholders?

thank you for sharing

They offer entertainment value just like any other distraction. They offer another aspect to the blockchain which keeps users active but at the end of the day the apps are there solely to make profit. And they will, just like any betting service that operates on a house edge. 

It's up to the people if they are willing to give up their steem for a brief distraction but as we have seen with other betting games there are a lot of people who are.

I understand where you are coming from. I am not a fan of betting in all honesty but do you think there is a way to stop the proliferation of the gambling dapps without it looking like a decentralized circlejerk? I guess no. Hence, we can't do jack with the proliferation. It is up to people to choose what they do with their steem. The blockchain is for adults and those getting into gambling know that it is a two-way thing. On a brighter side, it will increase the activeness of the community and bring more users into the steem ecosystem. Take it or leave it, even gambling outlets in the real world get a lot of patronages. Let's enjoy the attention it brings and don't let's forget that this does not stop any blue-chip company from setting up their businesses on the steem blockchain. There is no inter-dapp interference whatsoever.

Yes sir, its just a whole lot annoying to see developers go the easy route instead of fully utilizing it in other creative ways

the end result is also not pleasant, from my experience, the exit is always painful.

At the end, the users lose, less than 5% make any significant gain, while the gambling company makes big gains.

Also, crypto gambling companies don't need to follow any rules, which are very strict when it comes to traditional gambling palaces, heck, we dont even know who is behind some of these services.... but when a legit business comes up, many people ask for stringent criteria, including showing your face to the world and the likes before they throw their money in.... talk about double standards.

Well, you are quite right in that aspect. Still, I want to believe that folks that are into blockchain betting know exactly what they are getting into except for some few noobs. The truth is there is absolutely nothing we can do about them without losing the integrity of being a decentralized blockchain. However, we can only continue to sensitize people about the likely consequences of gambling on these platforms, like you just did in this post. No betting outlet, be it online or in real life will ever set up to lose.
