I went to the racetrack last night to bet on some ponies.
Even though I was gambling, there was such a good feeling that I handed my money over to a real person.
And, he didn't jump over the counter and run away.
Or, when race 6 started, all of the horses showed up.

In the bitcoin world, I would have made a bet by dropping my money in a hole.
Race 6 would have started.  And nobody would have showed up.
I would have shaken my head in disgust that I just lost my money
and then gotten back in line to bet on race 7.
