How does someone with a mere $10 stake have the opportunity to contribute to the cause of a $10mil disaster?

Realistically, they'd have to be far more connected to the event, and as such, far more exposed to some kind of risk.

Pessimistically, i imagine that's what they meant by "enormous asymmetry between the cost to create/build and the cost to destroy". Like its a lot easier to destroy an art piece in a museum than to create one.

That simply describes entropy. I don't know what the example of someone putting a wager on an event represents.
