Terrible news. And that's while daily wagered average keeps dropping (https://dicesites.com/bustabit). Bustabit was my favourite investment in crypto by far. Now expected returns are suddenly half, so I'll have to consider whether I even want to invest at all.

At least, as a token of appreciation to those of us that helped make your casino grow (and already got charged a lot in comissions), you could had increased the dilution fee or some other measure that didn't affect people that wanted to keep their investment.

The reason the wager volume appears to be dropping over the last few months is primarily because of Bitcoin increasing in price. In terms of purchasing power it tends to stay fairly constant:

I do expect the bankroll to decrease in size a little, but that's okay as long as the wager and profit limits remain high enough to accommodate all players. And it's unlikely that the limits will fall below what they were with the previous commission structure given that the new one allows them to safely be increased by a third.

It may not be dropping in USD, but it is in BTC, which is the currency we are investing. It makes no sense to talk in USD terms when we are investing in a different currency.
