Yeah I've only played lottery once (or twice?), just because everything about it is behind closed doors pretty much, and it's not so convenient to buy and keep track if i'm getting a reward. What true flip has made can be automated in every sense and shown to be fair and transparent with the blockchain (I'm taking their word for it since I'm not an audit expert). The same goes for the profit-sharing part of the token holders.
I think shifting our time from other social platforms to steemit may help out with understanding the crypto scene. Good to know you're finding it all interesting :)
Yes, I'm trying to drag my son in here to help me. I know he understands it from friends who are in it. I had the blinders on until now. But the money and the google visibility make my very glad I tried this. I'm absolutely amazed by all the technicality and the fact that it is so open. I did accounting for years and this is light years away different.
