Did you know that Satoshi Nakamoto left remnants of Poker software in #Bitcoin?
🐉♠️Satoshi must have had a reason to include the poker code?
😅It’s possible he worked for the gambling industry, or that he intended to launch some kind of #Bitcoin casino at a later date?
😂Dr Craig Wright aka Satoshi Nakamoto launched the first licenced online Casino in Australia (Lasseter’s Online), prior to #Bitcoin's launch and worked with the gambling arm of Playboy.
Dr. Wright has many roots in the gambling industry, and these experiences and knowledge were incorporated into the Bitcoin white paper.

(lines 1573 and 1788, Satoshi wrote some GUI code for a poker game)
In 1998, Dr. Wright was contracted by Lasseters to provide much-needed guidance on regulatory requirements and security systems in order to launch a licensed online casino by Lasseters. Centrebet was also his client when he was a BDO auditor. Dr. Wright also worked with Playboy Gaming, MGM and Bodog over the years. He even developed an online poker platform on Bitcoin after it was launched in 2008. In his own words, “part of what I was doing with BDO overlaps with the concept of #Bitcoin.
"Poker was a use. It was not the ONLY use. USD is used in Poker today.
Money can be used for many things.
And yes, I was not terribly clear as it was not about an ideology." Dr Craig Wright
