End of YD yes , but in every closing door there will be another to Open , I'm sure that the Team is considering another gambling related business and not just Dice game.

We do not know exactly how much Ethan has neither, that is going to be one of the most important factors moving forward. I remember when Erik sold satoshidice for 126k bitcoins (a whooping 6 billion now, about 70 million or so when he sold it) he didn't just take the money and left and retired in a small town farm or something, he took that money and built other things, none as profitable as that obviously but he did kept working and not years later neither he worked on new things almost instantly.

So, if Ethan came out of this with a bit of money, even if not that much, it means he is a person who knows crypto very well, has managed a very good business for 4 years and has money and connections, and since he built this website as well that means he either knows coding very well or people who know coding very well. Which is why I believe depending on few things, Ethan could start on a new project very soon.

That's true. Although I have earned nowhere near 126k BTC, I can start thinking about funding a new project. The way I work is I usually do most of the initial prototyping (or even the whole project, as with YD) and this has at least 2 great benefits: 1. it can cut costs dramatically, 2. it gives me enough expertise to be in full control of what's going on.

So yeah, not doing anything is tempting and I could probably afford it, but where's the fun?

Right now I've started learning Rust extensively and I'm looking at Polkadot ecosystem - from the info I've gathered going through several coins it's the technology with the greatest potential in the crypto world, plus their ecosystem seems quite reasonably prepared for growth. It's something I can easily say "I like it". The question remains: what can WE do with it :-)

Cheers,
Ethan
