We have some of the most intelligent people in the world working on extracting as much wealth as possible from high volume trading. For someone to gain money in the market someone most lose. Imagine if we had these minds working on solving real world problems that would actually benefit society. Just like gambling, trading is zero sum.
I don't think if we have those minds and collaborate with each other to solved problems, we still have more problems being born every minute. Regarding trading and making the most money, its human nature and the fittest survived. Other win but majority losses because crypto trading is a free market.
