Regulation pushes things into the background, it doesn't stop it from happening or fix the cognitive biases (confirmation bias, selection bias, survivor bias) that contribute to addictive gambling behaviour and speculation.

You shouldn't be looking at these technologies as investments, particularly short-term investments. They're meant to be learned from.
