New #retirement #lottery scheme slammed by critics
"the scheme could appear more attractive than depositing money in a bank, where savings interest rates are less than 1%, offering little incentive to save. #Thai #commercial #banks have a very high #interest #spread -- the difference between #deposit and #lending rates -- of 5-7%, allowing them to reap large #profits, said Mr Aat. In contrast, banks in #Singapore and #Malaysia operate with spreads of only around 2%"🧐 #BOT

Noone talks about how most #lotteries can, will, or are made redundant by #ProofOfWork.

Rather than throw money into some #lottery pool, or dollars into some tacky #pokieMachine (intl readers: #slotMachine), we'll instead join #miningPools. The dollar in the machine will power the #miners for several minutes while you play a *real* #videogame, displaying the #leadingZeros you're getting (#bitcoinMining works on these zeros).
