And yet, the first way most people encounter bitcoin is with a casino mindset.

I'm not sure I agree that we should first attempt to dissuade people of this way of thinking. Greed is a powerful motivator.

Speaking for myself, I certainly wouldn't have put as much time in to learning about bitcoin if it weren't for the greedy little gremlin in me who's hoping for $10 million per coin. It's not great, but it is real.
