This woman is uniquely 0.01% ambitious and determined
Top tier Ballerina then MIT
But she dedicated herself to.... a Crypto Gambling
A sign of a suffering culture when our brightest use their talents on such things

Crypto Gambling does not produce anything in the real economy
It uses resources while being a fun distraction and activity for users AT BEST
And at worst it destroys the entire lives of a small but significant (because of the damage done to these people and their partners/children etc.) portion of users

In a room of 10,000 random people you'd be unlikely to find someone more capable than her
And she channels that energy into creating a hyper efficient and lucrative scheme
That is a NET NEGATIVE on society

Our culture and institutions that have developed over centuries and beyond
Have somehow pushed this woman (and the many more like her, I do not even blame her individually) to unfathomable resources from damaging the very society that gave her the path

and yes, there is individual choice
But societal level is what is more important. If this were illegal and considered taboo (it should be) like it was just decades ago it would not be her path
But so much of our society rewards people working in these damaging industries

Gambling would have been considered low-class in the past besides a few specific and ritualized places
(think dressing up for the Kentucky Derby as a destination and trip)
A little periodic gambling is fine
Being able to make bets at any time from the magic screen in your pocket is not

Gambling being low-class served the culture
As the behavior is damaging to the society at large and is not productive in any way except in CERTAIN analysis in a fundamental economic way

Money spent on gambling now is lost
Yes money changes hands, but the net money bet does not change
But resources in time, money, and energy are used to create and advertise the companies and markets used

And yes, people get jobs and they make a living for these companies
But all their energy is spent on running something that produces ZERO VALUE
it does not feed you, it does not educate/train you, it does not transport you, it does not produce bricks or lumber or rubber, or any raw/finished resource
