will the bitcoin economy benefit from risk taking attitude of participants ?

[600watt]

many bitcoin fans are gamblers, and despite of all the talk about hoarding and buy-and-hold-forever, my impression is that a lot of them are way above average when it comes to investing in new ideas. they/we seem to throw around bitcoins as if it were play money. is this strengthening the bitcoin economy, or is it dangerous ? please share your thoughts.
