<<A horse race is no risk to someone that has no desire to gamble>>

Speaking as one who spent a year or two in the gambling trade [It was Joe Coral "Turf Accountants" back in those days ... 1970's] and graduate of the companies "Bookie University" I would say...

"Tell that to the partner of any person who develops a gambling problem, or any of their loved ones."

We were trained, appropriately and to a high level of competency, to emphasis to all that horse racing etc was to be regarded as for entertainment purposes only. If you go to a restaurant you expect to pay for the service. You go to a "Turf Accountant" expect the same. Most got the message, but for one reason or another, others sadly "fell at the fences".

In those days it was cash only too, no cheques, no credit cards, and the door onto the street was to be kept normally closed ... by law. In the wider picture, horse racing bets, dogs, all that business was regarded as something that needed to be contained.

These days? My golly, what happened?????????

And so. moving on to today... it's the crypto that the problem with financial risk?

I think it's more the "So let's blame the crypto" syndrome, find a scapegoat.

as posted earlier.

"Have a scroll down all the way down to get an idea of the potential exposure."

I liked that interview between Nick and Andrew.

A nice analysis on risk assessment and human interaction by guys who have been there.

Thanks.

I understand crypto. The problem is no one understands crypto.

The main problem with "crypto" is the blockchain idea. Extra problems were added such as swindling and unreliable exchanges.

Crypto/climate change = same sort of mass hysteria bung thinking in which high priests lead the ignorant and credulous and loot them. The high priests believe their own bullshit.
