Im sure most of you are aware what a game show is. Shows you would see on TV, quizes like Family Feud and such. They're quite fun to watch and have international success.

But did you know that those "rewards" are heavily taxed? If you live in the USA things get even more complicated because the laws have many differences from state to state. The contestants that took place to such shows and actually won, in most cases, will have to wait for months until they receive their cheque because of complicated legal procedures and even after that, they still get heavy taxes on them.


So why not Bitcoin?

US, which considers BTC as property, already is. That's probably why media outlets avoid including BTC in such games, besides it's pretty low popularity comparing both nation-wide and worldwide. Until this changes, we can only dream about these types of shows.
