Re: Gambling for money contradicts the very idea of money

When we win money, we break this scheme. In the same way it is broken by theft, robbery, or taxes. If money is obtained for nothing, it loses its value.
you are just wrong about that, money is money, it only loses value if no one wants it anymore.as for money you win from gambling, it's not obtained for nothing, that simply is not possible (unless it's a free bonus or contest or something, but that can't be called gambling if you are not risking anything).
you can't win for free with gambling, you always need to risk your own money, so i have no idea what you are talking about.
It would be much better to play for something else. For example, for points.
and do what with those points exactly? if you want to cash out you will need to exchange them for money, so you are just adding an extra step.So overall, it seems quite logical to me that the most popular board on Bitcointalk right now is the "gambling" section. The most obvious use case for cryptocurrency, wouldn't you agree?
i don't get it, how did we go from talking about money obtained for nothing and losing its value to the gambling board being the most popular? i'm so confused.
