Im on board with your technical description of what constitutes
An investment or not. I also can understand why folks believe money in more money out = investment.
I'm still trying to figure what happens to online casino deposits
done in BC if it totally collapses l know a guy who requires keeping moderately large amounts on deposit. Im hoping since it gets converted upon deposit upon collapse they will be honorable and pay out in the appropriate currency.

Said deposits will be converted at the current rate whatever it is. Holders will get their bitcoin as the blockchain should still be there

I don't think it will ever collapse as there will always be the genius who will buy it at five cents, thinking it can easily get to a dollar since it once was $50,000. The question is at what price do the buyers return? The Big Boys have dumped over 300,000 bitcoin on the market in the last few months, and there just aren't buyers, thus the depressed prices.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

It depends on what type of casino. There are Crypto casinos where you deposit and play with crypto, I have very little experience with that type of casino. When you say "amounts on deposit" I am assuming for sports(?) so it's probably not a true crypto casino. Even casinos that have Crypto in the name and claim to be Crypto casinos are not true crypto casinos where you are actually playing with crypto, it just means they accept crypto.Quote: rainmanQuote: billryanGray Scale's bitcoin Trust is selling at a 48% discount, meaning you can buy into bitcoin at about $8,000 for the true believers.

At most online casinos you are depositing via crypto, but your balance is converted into whatever currency they support, so you are no longer tethered to crypto. If crypto goes up you gain nothing, and if crypto goes down you lose nothing. Some online casinos will allow you to deposit and cash out using 2 different methods I.E. Deposit via BTC and cash out Via check by mail.
Most online casinos use crypto payment processors so they don't have much exposure to BTC. However, If an online casino is actually holding the crypto themselves, I would be worried they could go bust during big downswings. Oftentimes online casinos blame bad things on their payment processors.

The dealings I speak of are Casinos which allow deposit via Bitcoin conversion then withdrawal via Bitcoin.
Not sports Take largest Match available.Bets made to clear are small It takes months Many Stores many
bonuses in play at the same time.
My fear is collapse of BTC. System is totally broke and Governments shut it down if possible. Or Withdrawal
and BTC has failed and there are no buyers.

You'll get as much gold as $1 billion US will buy in December 2522. If a failed currency can't buy any gold, that will be your problem.
