In traditional slots you pay a coin, and if a certain sequence comes up, you get some winnings. I think everyone will agree that's a form of gambling.
In bitcoin, to create coins, you pay some electricity, and if a sequence of 0's comes up, you win some bitcoins.
Is this aspect a form of gambling?
And if so, is that illegal in the U.S.?
I think bitcoin is not a form of gambling, because Bitcoin is a tool for making payments online, even though the price is fluctuating but it's all affected by demand and there are calculations.
