We gamblers are actually one of the biggest reasons why Bitcoin took off

Possible, or it's happening now since every government wants to be involved with bitcoin in someway and only a few of them yet to realise the potential of bitcoin but we need better policies that supports the crypto payments if we want to see the real adoption.

With the increasing number of crypto casinos this time. This is enough to prove that adaptation had already taken place. Although it was not too quick, at least we see improvement. We need more time for the fullest adaptation in other industries. And there is a perfect time for this, and we look forward to a big change, not just in gambling but also in all corners of the country. Waiting for another decade before we feel it—that's still okay, at least we are moving forward and inclining, not dying.

Nothing was more exciting than making payment faster and quicker through crypto. Cross boarder payment has now become easier without any cause for alarm or even trace of funds to the person behind the wallet using decentralized wallets. I will say confidently that gambling played a role in Bitcoin adoption but brought about more of crypto adoption generally. Because of crypto, casinos now have more patronage and can easily receive deposits from users worldwide and also make payments and withdrawals reaching the users account faster after a cash out is initiated from the casino.


It is just a matter of them from now, if crypto is been integrated in other industries, many will gladly switch to using crypto for payments there because of the strict rules and limitations to using fiat for payments in such platforms. Also delay in confirmation of payment is also a very big problem facing some of those industries that are yet to adopt crypto and accept payment and offer services worldwide.

Eventually everybody will catch on to the hype of Bitcoin. It's just a matter of time because there isn't any industry that isn't going to be affected by Bitcoin adoption. First it was the financial world that caught on the hype and now the gambling industry is being heavily influenced. The next might be something we don't expect like the e-commerce industry or any other sector becoming a big player in Bitcoin adoption. Gambling made Bitcoin more popular because it introduced alot of people to what Bitcoin is or crypto. Without gambling there won't had been many ways people could've spent their crypto and so will there be more ways of adoption in the future.

I'm not sure about that, because it's not just casinos that have adopted Bitcoin, but multiple types of businesses as well. So I doubt it's explicitly due to players. It's something deeper and broader than that, such as financial privacy and other factors.

The popularity and adoption of Bitcoin is a combination of many factors that simultaneously drive its use, the most important of all being money.

The trend of crypto casinos has started a long time ago. It is not something new that casinos accept Bitcoin or altcoins. This surely ease the gamblers to play casinos because it is easy to get Bitcoin or altcoins from exchanges. Using crypto coins also keep the gamblers' privacy because they don't need to send money from the bank accounts.

Casino business surely contributes for Bitcoin and altcoins adoptions. However, I think it is not the major one, investment field should be bigger role than casinos. Most people use Bitcoin and altcoins for digital investment. This is a more massive adoption, this is done by almost all people around the world. Meanwhile casinos, I'm not sure everyone wants to be involved in casinos.

I think that it will. While the others are still on that trend for slow adoption of Bitcoin. It will also contribute to the growth.
While the gambling industry has no doubt have been discussed for so many times on how it has helped Bitcoin to be adopted and thrived.
The other industries that are looking into its formal adoption of Bitcoin through government's intervention and help would do a lot significantly.
We cannot force them to quicken in the adoption but as long as we are seeing the progress, that's better than no progress at all just like how the gambling industry helped to Bitcoin's wide and mass adoption.

Like what other industries are on your mind? Not all industries can integrate crypto into their usual parameters and system flow.

And I think we should not just focus on "Bitcoin Adoption" alone on this subject, but rather "Crypto Adoption". It's not just Bitcoin that is being the most used crypto in gambling, which contributes to the whole crypto adoption in general.

Yes, but it we talk about the early stages, I will give it up to gambling as the best use case for us. There could be early investors though, but what they do? they sold early and never stick to Bitcoin. They thought of it as something like an experiment.

As compare to early casinos that we know, they have dice games and then we can simply deposit and withdraw that's it. And then it grow overtime, like a mush room, crypto based casinos grow and now it's a billion dollar industry.

For me, yes, some people misunderstood Bitcoin too. Just for example, I met one businessman before where I was able to mention him about Bitcoin, and the first thing he answered was "Are you a gambler?"
So my thought is some people for sure know Bitcoin is only for gambling, especially in some early days, where there's some faucet and you can spend your Bitcoin in some dice game platforms, etc.
