Title: Peer2peer betting is here. Why you should care.
Post by: knircky on June 11, 2014, 05:59:59 AM
Hi Guys,

I could not help but notice that counterparty went live with decentralized betting. that means you can now bet directly against someone else, without the need of a bookie or sportsbook.

This is huge for bitcoin because in my opinion this is the first time bitcoin has created a truly useful application for the western world. What I mean by that is that there is no other way that you can bet peer2peer on the internet and avoid the vig, except with bitcoin.

Because betting is a $1 trillion industry that money now has incentive to move into bitcoin. That's why you should care even if you don't care about betting.

Please help me spread the word and support the guys on counterparty that are building their bitcoin 2.0 protocol on top of bitcoin.


I've explain more details with bunch of screenshots here for you to review.
