‘Guilty Minds’ on Prime video and video games

I watched the 2nd episode of ‘Guilty Minds’ on Prime Video.

It raised 2 key dilemmas or issues of this decade
A. Impact of gaming on youth
B. Effect of Bitcoin

Such games are getting into an addiction zone. It has equal or higher impact on a human’s brain than drugs. They show a young 19-year old boy committing murder under the name of a ‘challenge’ in a gaming scenario.

The challenge has reward money of 100,000 USD to be paid through Bitcoin – no account, no traceability. Parents or no one will not know anything.

Some questions:
1. Why are video game ads allowed when alcohol ads are banned?
2. The role of crypto currency as ‘hawala’ money? What is the purpose of its existence? What is the economic impact created by it?
