Do you consider running a poker table a “real business”? Assuming there were no addicts present, what about a casino? Is that “real”?

- jayd16 5y agoIsn't a casino with no addicts just an arcade? I'm not sure what your point is, though. The addicts are pretty inextricable.
- sjtindell 5y agoPerhaps let's just talk running a poker table. It's a platform where people can play a zero sum game against each other. To me, that's what cryptocurrency is. People want to play these games. That, to me, is real value.
- SgtBastard 5y agoNitpick: the House rake makes poker not zero sum amongst players.
- mcguire 5y agoWhat's the house rake in cryptocurrency?
- SgtBastard 5y agoTXN fees for miners to secure the chain.
- sjtindell 5y agoTrue. I thought of it as apt because the exchanges/miners, etc. take a fee.
