I feel like there should be a decentralized virtual world that goes with Bitcoin... what do you guys think...?
http://www.dragons.tl/ ?You can theoretically buy a high-level account for the Treasures bonus, and work at compiling data on mechanics and statistics to "sell" in exchange for mentorship over students, slowly releasing that data to them for continued Treasures points. Since the Treasures bonus can be withdrawn for direct BTC, this could be considered an actual job with enough students, and there are people clearing an 8BTC bonus weekly. I don't know of anyone who doesn't just gamble it back away, though.
The devs could probably be enticed to add more SL-like VR stuff to the game, to change it more from a gambling platform to a weird VR.
Excuse me..?
ETA: Oh - jargon. Treasures are accumulated by mentoring students. When students bet, the mentor gets a cut (the formula is something like mentor bonus [based on in-game level] minus student bonus -- and this is multi-level, so if your student mentors other students, you can also get a cut of their students' bets). The game's mechanics and statistical information for what happens in certain games is mostly unpublished, but a mentor could collect this information and use it to try gaining students. A mentor does not necessarily need to bet anything to accumulate "Dragon Treasures." At 100% "Treasures," the mentor is able to collect 8BTC. Theoretically, there's nothing stopping a mentor from simply working and never touching the gambling side, where they "sell" the information they collected to students in exchange for those students selecting the information-collector as a mentor. This could be considered a job if the mentor does not gamble his "Treasure," but instead just withdraws it to a wallet. Most (all?) mentors choose to gamble in part because they can only raise their in-game level (and thus the % cut they get from students "Treasures") by gambling.
(Just in case: SL - Second Life, VR - Virtual Reality)
