It can only happen when btc is quite stable. To that point It could be problematic.
I read your posts but there are only problems with casinos. I'd like to know what will come next. If big btc business are on the way or if we are stuck in this mining pool-alt coin-casino triangle. What do you think about that?
I hope we're not stuck in an Asic-Madness-Altcoin-Circle ... would be very bad ...
But some phantasies for the next step:
- transnational companies / global supply-chains use bitcoin. Could be very practical, like food-companies use palettes. Why not? At the moment they waste a lot of ressources with changing money and sending it through the world.
- Porn uses it for microtransactions, and when it works, video-on-demand, newspapers, music-on-demand etc. will follow
- computer games use it for their intern economy
- immigrant workers use it to send money to their families.
I don't think it will come fast. If. At the moment we're in speculation area, and there will come and burst some bubbles more ...
It's clear that people will be trying to create new altcoins, mining pools, casinos and so on. But it's going to be less and less profitable once few players are established on the market. Now it's harder and harded to entry to "older" sectors. You have to push it really hard in order to gain small percentage of the market.
For example we were disgusted with same-looking pools so we developed brand new front-end. It took us 3 months and nobody even try to mine there. In the beginning you only need some key features and that was it. Not anymore. As sectors mature, there is less space to another player.
-You could be right about international companies but once again, volatility is the problem.
-Projects which wasn't working with fiat money, won't work with bitcoin. Question is if old players start to accepting bitcoin or new players emerge who will be operating only in bitcoins/altcoins.
- It's possible that bitcoin will be in games but only as long as it will be clasified as internet money. Fiat money aren't in game because it has to look less real in order to confuse people.
