The first hotel casino accepting bitcoin

That's a good initiative. Whether this is going to be successful or not depends upon how good they serve and have the acceptance. In most businesses, having bitcoin acceptance doesn't last long. They just begin to accept bitcoin into the business, and at some point they don't get the desired income and end up accepting bitcoin. Here they're on the right track, and at the beginning itself, they've limited the acceptance in the hotel and gift shop and not in the casino. Also, it looks like they're planning to have their native token, Robocoin, for which initially they're going through Bitcoin.

Although the news has to do with gambling, in the end it is spreading the popularity of Bitcoin in real life business, so I don't think it will have a negative impact. If some people think that Bitcoin is only for gambling, it is an error and they'll find out sooner or later that this is only a use case, just like with fiat.

There’s nothing negative about connecting Bitcoin to gambling because the crypto gambling industry has played a big role in making Bitcoin more popular. We’re talking about a billion-dollar industry here.... In fact, we should be thanking the gambling industry as it’s a prime example of real-world adoption. Gamblers are actively using Bitcoin as a currency, not just hoarding it for investment. That’s what true adoption looks like, and it’s helping Bitcoin stay relevant and practical.

Oh, no, don't take me wrong. I don't think that there is anything negative about that. Not in countries where it is not forbidden, legally or because of a religion.

I was only answering to the previous post, because it seemed that traderethereum was worried about a potential negative impact of that mental association:

That is a good news for Bitcoin but in the other sides, I just worry because people around that city will thinks that Bitcoin is only for playing gambling. -snip-
