Blockchain Poker Platforms

02.07.2018, 03:08 0

Hello everyone! I am new around here and in the poker community in general, that being said this is also my first post. However, I am a big proponent and supporter of blockchain technologies and with the large influx of capital into these markets (because of popular culture exposure) we are starting to see multiple emerging blockchain based poker platforms. I'm curious to find out what everyone here thinks of these new platforms and what your personal experiences with them has been like. Below I have included 3 of the seemingly most popular and reputable platforms, if there are any I missed, please feel free to share them and I'll add them to the list. Cheers!

Hey logicbear,

Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:

Whereas we welcome discussion about blockchain technology and crypto currencies, we don't allow discussion about poker rooms that compete with our partner rooms under our forum principles which is why I have removed your links.

There are now literally a million and one different cryptos out there and one room I play on accepts over 60 types for deposit/withdrawal.

I think the big question for cryptos is when does the correction end. Bitcoin has lost two thirds of it's value in the last few months. What do you think is the future of cryptos?

Thanks Laz for the edit. I'll make sure to not link non partner rooms in the future. What room do you play in that accepts that many different cryptos? I'm not familiar with any that offer such a wide selection. As for the future of such currencies, I firmly believe that blockchain technologies will become further and further adopted to the point that fiat currencies will be phased out, along with paper money (debt notes) entirely.

Hey logicbear,

Unfortunately as a non-partner room, I can't mention them by name but to give a hint, they are the major illegal USA facing site. I am forced by local legislation to only play on sites that ignore Australian law.

Banks and governments are also looking to utilise blockchain technology because in the future we will continually use notes and coins less and less as in the future we will have chips implanted in our hand containing our banking details or we will transact online.

I don't think virtual currency will replace traditional currency as there is a limit on how much electrical power the blockchain consumes while verifying and/or mining cryptos.
