One of the best use cases of Bitcoin: illegal gambling... in addition to online-enabling other vices.

But the point is that we don't need bitcoin to gamble. Only those in illiberal countries countries need bitcoin to gamble online.

That's not true. Online gambling is legal in Canada but my bank has taken it upon themselves to block deposits to Betfair.
