        Buying them randomly and being able to trade them is the a distinct decision and it powers this industry. They could shut this off immediately if they wanted to, but they profit from it.

          So we take away the market functionality from all players because 3rd party sites misuse it for gambling?

            The only thing that’s dumbshit is your simplistic understanding of how the world works and how these systems interplay
