iGaming ≠ Trading.
Gamblers play to lose. Imagine tetris. Each line cleared lets them play longer but they never "win". Players crave "the zone". Build for dopamine.
Traders play to win. The more you know, the faster you act, the better you judge — the more you make. Each advantage counts. Build for edge.
Dopamine
- near miss
- illusion of control
- room for superstition
Edge
- execution speed
- information arbitrage
- efficiency — fees + liquidity
Combine the two and you get a bad trading app, or a bad iGaming app. Probably the most common mistake unsuccessful crypto founders make.
