Interesting interview on cryptocurrencies and how they relate to gambling.
My dream poker game would be a No-Limit poker game played with U.S. Silver Eagles or U.S. Gold Eagles, or a blend of both metals. Besides for being real money they make excellent poker chips. They even come in neat tubes of 20. Losing in a game like that would hurt, I don’t want cash, just your metals. Treasure!
