Apparently, the genius behind this timing is that financial markets are closed, so no one’s portfolio gets a heart attack. But crypto?

The ruling arrived like an unwelcome pop quiz after the Nevada Gaming Control Board requested that the company stop offering contracts tied to sports, elections, and entertainment outcomes-because apparently, someone has to keep track of what constitutes “fun” versus “illegal fun.”

However, when the network gets busy, users often experience high fees and long delays, which can discourage people from using Bitcoin.
