If you can create user-friendly app for betting and it is legal, why would you use blockchain for that instead of just using traditional way? I would bet my ass off that the end-users (gamblers) don't give a crap whether it is on block

It is quite funny, looking from a small country, how big the "tax software" industry is in the US. I live in Finland, but even we have about 5 alternatives for accounting software etc. However, not much for personal use. I often w
