Re: Card Player Article: The End Is Coming
Of course, gambling and poker arent going anywhere. People really have to stop using that as some sort of answer to the 'when will the party end' question. People dont necessarily spend a higher % of their income on gambling now than they did 5 years ago, they just play poker rather than blackjack.
If you dont think poker is a fad, you are kidding yourself. The fact that it existed prefad, and will exist post fad in no way discount the fact that it is currently a short term pop culture phenomenon. There is a very good chance that in 1-5-10yrs things will be markedly different. Just think of your own personal experience. How many friendly gatherings now end up turning into a poker game now vs 4 years ago. Why is it that this attitude will never change?
Will the fish all die? No, but their will be less of them.
For people to wonder about China and other Europe is a little comical. Why hasnt poker spread? Why would it? Why hasnt baseball spread to those nations? American football? Why hasnt Soccer spread to the US?
