Bitcoin is not gambling
At present, Atari will launch an encrypted casino in the Ethereum based virtual world{rrrrrrr}
Atari, the game company behind the iconic Pacman, asterioids and Pong, will cooperate with decentral games to develop an encrypted currency casino
according to a press release shared with coindesk on Monday, Atari casino will be built in Vegas City, the game area of the virtual space in Ethereum's decentraland, and will be leased for the first two years

bitcoin, the deadliest digital currency, is only a small-scale large-scale socialization experiment in China, and other digital currencies are just bitcoin's test objects. Doggy coin has seized the small reward and charity market of bitcoin, and Ruitai coin is trying the asset mortgage project; Qianjin card tries to purchase and pay overseas.
It can not be said to be a fraud, but there are certain risks, because digital gold currency is a form of physical currency, and its deposits are measured in gold rather than legal currency. Therefore, the purchasing power fluctuation of digital gold currency is related to the gold price. If the price of gold goes up, it becomes more valuable. If the price of gold goes down, it loses value
since there is no specific financial regulation to regulate digital gold money suppliers, they operate in a self-regulation way. Digital gold money suppliers are not banks, so banking regulations are not applicable
extended data
to explore the connotation of digital currency, we must clarify some concepts of model lake. For example, is it legal digital currency dominated by the central bank or illegal private fixed digital currency; Encryption of digital currency or electronic currency; Is it "selling dog meat with sheep's head"; "Bad money"
new technology does make the conceptual boundary of money more blurred. Theoretically speaking, the new monetary economics points out the possibility of the disappearance of money, that is, legal paper money is no longer the only medium of transaction, and is eventually replaced by financial assets issued by the private sector that generate monetary income
in reality, although the status of fiat money is still unshakable, there have been various local scenes of private money in history, such as the universal warra system in Germany in the 1920s. Now the digital currency with the characteristics of decentralization makes the challenge of private currency increasingly prominent< br />
