I spend a decent amount of time in a few discords dedicated to online "social" casinos (the ones that basically get around most gambling laws), and there's some crypto talk there, all of which is around either investment strategies like this, or in the cases of the casinos that payout in btc or crypto, how to get it to an exchange to sell it. I long ago gave up trying to convince folks there otherwise.

Sorry about that weekend -- losing folks you've known that long is tough.
