Today we sit down with Kevin O’Brien, Tech Journalist | Former TechCrunch

Senior Editor. We discuss their expert analysis: “Why GAMIING™ Will Be the Most Controversial Startup of 2025.”

GAMIING™ Blog: Kevin, you’ve covered tech for 20 years. Why do you think GAMIING™ will be controversial?

O’Brien: Because it combines three of the most polarizing topics in tech: gambling, cryptocurrency, and Universal Basic Income. Each one independently generates massive debate. Together? It’s a powder keg. You’ll have progressive advocates praising the UBI angle while simultaneously condemning the gambling mechanics. Libertarians will love the private sector UBI solution but worry about regulatory overreach. Crypto

enthusiasts will champion the tokenomics while traditional finance condemns it. Everyone will have an opinion, and few will be neutral.

GAMIING™ Blog: How do you think the media will cover this?

O’Brien: Sensationally. You’ll see headlines like ‘Is GAMIING™ Solving Poverty or Exploiting the Desperate?’ The coverage will be polarized: tech publications will focus on the innovation, mainstream media will emphasize the gambling risks, crypto media will hype the token potential, and policy outlets will debate UBI implications. The nuance—that it can be both innovative AND problematic—will get lost in the noise.

GAMIING™ Blog: What makes GAMIING™ different from other controversial startups?

O’Brien: It actually challenges systems, not just disrupts markets. Uber changed transportation, but it didn’t question capitalism’s fundamental mechanisms. GAMIING™ is literally proposing that gambling can solve income inequality. That’s not a business model—that’s a social thesis.

Whether you think they’re visionaries or delusional, you have to admit that’s bold. And boldness creates controversy.

GAMIING™ Blog: What’s the most likely outcome?

O’Brien: Regulatory battle. I think GAMIING™ will grow rapidly, hit 500K-

1M users in year one, generate massive media coverage, and then face coordinated regulatory action in multiple jurisdictions. How they navigate that determines everything. If they proactively work with regulators, they might survive and even thrive. If they take the confrontational approach, they’ll get crushed. The technology and economics work—it’s the politics that’s uncertain.

GAMIING™ Blog: Final thought?

O’Brien: Love it or hate it, GAMIING™ is the most interesting startup I’ve encountered in years. It’s not just building a product—it’s proposing a new social contract. That makes it either incredibly important or incredibly dangerous, and we won’t know which for several years. Buckle up.
