Gambling is fun, but earning is better

I’ve recently been enjoying playing BlitzChips.com. To me, it’s a perfect example of what crypto makes possible: a game that frictionlessly incorporates money, while showcasing what you can do by making money programmable.

The game’s ease of use, speed of play, the fact that you can bet ridiculously small amounts, and the innovation of the $BLITZ token, all combine to create a game that made me find my love for gambling again.

I know that sounds weird, but it’s the truth. The fact is, I haven’t done any real gambling in years, because all the casinos somehow took the fun out of gambling. BlitzChips made gambling fun again.

While trading memecoins is also a form of gambling that’s been popular of late, it’s not the same as the old school, classic style of gambling like blackjack and craps. Games with tons of action that also allow you to feel like you have some control over your own destiny.

The beauty of BlitzChips is that because of the eCash network’s low transaction fees, it makes it possible for you to play for fractions of a penny and have it make sense. The sound and the graphics are great, and the UX of seamlessly flipping back and forth between BlitzChips and Cashtab is to me the best UX in crypto.

Now I’m not trying to convince you to spend all your money on Blitzchips and go broke. I don’t want that for anyone. But I am here to endorse BlitzChips as something worth checking out. It’s’ not only a fun game, but it’s a fair game. I’ve played tens of thousands of “rolls” and never have I felt it was unfair, or rigged, and it’s the only casino game I’ve ever played where you win even when you lose. But you’ll have to play for yourself to see what I mean.

Last thing about BlitzChips is that while playing it these last few days, I realized that Blitz, like all casinos, is providing a service. A form of entertainment where people like me can try our luck in a provably fair game. While some lose, others can win, and the platform gets paid for creating a market where the uncertainty of the outcome is what you pay for. If you’re looking for fun and fair, BlitzChips fits.

Having said all that, as fun as it can be to make money gambling, I think it feels even better earning it. Getting paid by others for doing something you love is for many people the ultimate goal, because not only do you make money, but you feel like your effort and work is adding value to the world.

This is why I love the PayButton plugin. It allows anyone to sell their digital content with as little friction as possible.

My dream has always been to get paid to write, and the PayButton plugin allows me to do just that. I can easily charge people for my writing in a way that wasn’t possible before.

In the past, getting paid to write meant writing an entire book, or getting hired by some publication, but now you can easily charge people a couple of cents to read your thoughts like I am here.

With PayButton recently becoming more performant, I am more excited than ever to write. I even have an idea I’m considering trying but haven’t decided one way or the other.

But to find out what it is, you’ll have to pay 1000 XEC.
