That's interesting. I wonder how much of the gambling was intrinsic to the idea, and how much it was caused by how and where (like, you're dropping a new crypto in a comm where people try to make money from crypto. Of course you'll get some abuse)
Another scenario that could ruin this idea would be well-organised infiltration - like a half dozen posters coordinating to game the system together, so they have more power than they should, until they can force the community to become something else.
Yes! Specially pre-IPO. Investors really do not like things changing suddenly, as they increase the associated risk.
