    The problem is that we judge its success by how much the wealthiest people bet on its success in a glorified casino instead of anything else, like its positive impact on society.

    A plane can continue to fly without a pilot. The problem is not “continuing to exist”, but continued success or a spectacular crash.

    Also, I’d bet on Dropbox being able to function quite well without its CEO.

      Also, what is according to you a glorified casino?
