Do you think gambling played a bigger role in Bitcoin adoption?

[Salahmu]

Before the launch of Bitcoin many years back, it was difficult for me to gamble on some casinos back then because of so many restrictions due to currency conversion and bank not supporting the mode of transaction i was meant to use in making deposits on the casino I love to use then. Apart from that, sometimes you will have to wait for several hours before the casino will finally confirm my deposit.

So many challenges we faced then because their was no other alternative we can use to make fast deposits on foreign casinos but since the emergence of Bitcoin, life has been pretty good, influencing vast rising of crypto casinos.

What is your observation so far and do you think the trend will hit other industries that are still slow on Bitcoin adoption?

It was a lot easier when casinos began to enable cryptocurrency because I also remember those days you were taking about because to see a casino that has a deposit method you could use to fund your account using our fiat became challenging and that was what brought high increase in physical gambling were there is no restrictions to how you want to gamble but now casinos has normalize everything and they didn't just allow only the use of Bitcoin but also with some other cryptocurrencies. however it will also attract other industries concerning Bitcoin if what they're doing has a use for it because it was obvious in the gambling sector and is working perfectly in the aspect of deposits and there withdrawals for them.

The emergence of cryptocurrency has helped so many industries and companies to stand out due to how fast crypto transactions are not limiting customers to a particular region or location. What make crypto transactions to be largely adopted is because of how fast, safe and reliable making transactions can be. The normal fiat pattern can be manipulated and these alone has been one of the reasons why many customers are scared running transactions online that is not cryptocurrency related.
The fiat pattern of carrying out transactions will review your identity and make the second party to know you fully without your awareness.

Yea you are right. Technology has made everything to be different from the way it used to be in the past. Now people can now gamble at the comfort of their home without any drama. You don't have to leave or trek miles before you can book games like the way it was in the part when smart phones were not available and the adoption of Bitcoin has made everything about gambling to be easily faster for gamblers.

[CryptoYar]

Bitcoin can fix real problems (like your story told everything) in world of international companies such as online casinos because its special features such as getting around bank restrictions, making deposits much quicker than older international transfers, and charging lower fees are direct solutions to big problems that you experienced prior to using BTC. This increase in crypto casinos happened due to fact that Bitcoin has fixed long standing business issue to online gambling and this trend will hit other areas such as global e-commerce and money transfers when cost of using it is much lower, quicker, or simpler than their existing systems and this proves that need is key factor in mass acceptance.

Gambling played a huge positive role in Bitcoin's adoption. I also want to mention that Freebitco, PrimeDice and Stake played a very important role among all other casinos. I see Stake advertisements everywhere. Lots of people gamble on Stake from all over the world, which also means that millions of people were introduced to cryptocurrencies because of Stake alone. Freebitco's role was also exceptional because it was probably the first website from which we earned our first satoshis. I remember that Freebitco was even promoted by a local bank in my country as a way of earning our first Bitcoins in 2015.
I also want to mention that Moneypot and Bustabit played a role during the 2014-2017 years.

Bitcoin is used in online casinos, but gamblers use other currencies more than Bitcoin. So online casinos do not help much in increasing Bitcoin adoption because gamblers and Bitcoin investors are two different things. Those who play casinos calculate Bitcoin, they always compare it to dollars. And deposit stable coins. And those who invest in Bitcoin play casino games very rarely. Because they believe in Bitcoin and make long-term investments in Bitcoin, they are never interested in wasting their Bitcoin.

[purple_sparkles]

In my opinion, any form of Bitcoin popularization has a positive impact on its adoption, growth, and development. The more industries and businesses start using bitcoin in their services, the faster and more confidently it will continue to spread around the world. In fact, using bitcoin is beneficial not only for bitcoin itself but also for casinos and bookmakers. By offering an additional option for deposits and withdrawals, they attract crypto-oriented customers, which increases their user base and, as a result, boosts their profits.

[Leahized]

A lot of gamblers make use of cryptocurrency now, I can't really say that gambling plays a bigger role In Bitcoin adoption because I think that the percentage of people investing or hodling are more than those using their Bitcoin to gamble...it might be one of the factors that contributed to it but I don't think that it's that main factor in Bitcoin adoption.. it's risky to gamble with Bitcoin though because you might end up losing all of it

People are more inclined towards cryptocurrency nowadays than in the past. So I think most of the people are showing interest in gambling and playing gambling nowadays. As compared to earlier time traders are mostly using currency rather than fiat currency. So every casino is starting to use Bitcoin, because Bitcoin is constantly becoming popular with everyone. Moreover, many times there are many problems due to using fiat currency, so everyone thinks it is better to use currency. When I deposit money, I use stable coin more than bitcoin. This way my money is not at risk. Moreover, there are risks involved in investing and trading or gambling

[Juicyhome]

Gambling has been in existence before Bitcoin and altcoin, the only difference now is that gambling that was played in the physical shops was move to the Internet space. And these brookies innovated their site and integrate Bitcoin as means of payment because Bitcoin has gain popularity. And many gamblers using gambling sites that make use of Bitcoin as payment method to accumulate more Bitcoin to their wallets. It's a win, win for both Bitcoin and gamblers, Because the more Bitcoin is being use for transactions more it get to new users.

You are only bringing this close from one perspective. If you say that most of the online gambling platforms mostly use altcoins for deposits especially from players and it has not helped in the adoption then you are wrong. What the fuck is altcoins when we have Bitcoin that has been increasing the general crypto adoption? If not for Bitcoin emergence to bring about the word cryptocurrency, do you think the word crypto would ever have existed? Make your pionts clear dude.

However it is also true that Bitcoin has become more familiar to people as casinos have added crypto. Fiat has many problems when depositing or withdrawing money online especially restrictions and processing time. Crypto offers an advantage in this area, so people are also interested in using it. In fact whether it is gambling or trading there is always risk and when you play with crypto that risk is doubled because if the market falls you can lose money before you play. That is why many people use stable coins, they feel a little safer. The gambling market does help Bitcoin but it is not a major reason and no matter what the money is invested in it is most important to keep the risk in mind.

Most gamblers just want convenience not long-term investment or understanding of the tech so adoption through gambling is still somewhat shallow. For me personally gambling helped expose Bitcoin to more people but it’s really the bigger use cases payments, remittances, store of value that push deeper adoption, crypto casinos are just one gateway and yes I do think the trend will continue into other industries as long as Bitcoin keeps solving real world problems like fees, speed and accessibility. Gambling just happened to be one of the earliest industries where those problems were obvious.

[Joy- maker]

To answer your question OP, I will say yes that gambling played a very big part in Bitcoin adoption in some countries, because the rise of casinos and other gambling platforms that allows customers to gamble with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on their platforms has made some persons to embrace Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. And you are not also far from the truth OP,  because back then we always find it difficult to gamble on casinos and other gambling platforms that accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency due to restrictions in our country and currency conversion just as you stated, and because of that we have embraced Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, so that we can gamble freely at any time, and those casinos and gambling platforms in our country that don't allow customers to gamble with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are now accepting it as a payment method on their platforms so that anyone who have Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency can gamble on their platform comfortably without any restriction or troubles.

It's hard to say. We've all seen over time, based on the campaign signatures here, that casinos are most interested in advertising to cryptocurrency users.
And of course, there are other things that have been asked to leave, you know. So, casinos have truly played a huge role in crypto adoption, because I'll never believe there are online gamblers who don't know they can deposit and withdraw money from casinos with crypto. And everyone who didn't know until recently has now learned, and that's a great thing. I hope the marketplace industry will also support this trend of crypto adoption.

[Haunebu]

It's a fact that gambling played a humongous role in helping improve cryptocurrency adoption globally primarily thanks to the igaming sector actively integrating them into their platforms for a while now.

FIAT sites offering crypto as an alternative payment method these days literally says everything and proves why what I stated are facts.

[Kelward]

I believe that in the early years of Bitcoin creation gambling helped in it's adoption then because fewer businesses accepts it but presently what is moving Bitcoin adoption is profit, people see it as a valuable asset. Although we can't deny that cryptocurrency has made many people to go into online gambling because it is very convenient, they don't need to use fiat or transfer through banks to fund their gambling accounts. I think casinos are benefiting more from cryptocurrency because many crypto holders finds it convenient to spend their coins in gambling sites.

[Z390]

Many people are into Bitcoin investment today thanks to gambling, they know about Bitcoin through gambling, I am not one of them but I knew Bitcoin for the first time though a ponzi scheme.
After the ponzi scheme collapsed I got curious to look more into Bitcoin, that's when I knew about it and started doing some research about the tech behind it, gambling did got many into Bitcoin, it is the first taste they have about transaction using Bitcoin.
Till now many beginners are getting to know Bitcoin through gambling, they only had a plan to gambling online and use fiat but the platform ask them to get Bitcoin because it is more faster and that's it, what is Bitcoin is the next thing that comes from their mind. So hell yeah, gambling played a bigger role in Bitcoin adoption.

I personally know three persons who possibly would have never had angthing to do with bitcoin or any other form of crypto currency if not for casinos.
Initially, the casino sure supported our local currency deposits but at a time, the casino came up with an offer that was only available to crypto currency deposiyors, offer was very juicy and too tempting to simply ignore, one of those guys met me to show him how to buy bitcoin with our local currency from his bank account, I taught him out to and he took that knowledge to the others..

Now, this are just three persons, I believe there are still several persons out there, possibly in their hundreds of thousands around the world, or even millions who it was gambling casinos that influenced their first move to buy any crypto currency, could be bitcoin, ethererum, usdt or any other..
So, generally speaking, casinos have surely contributed nicely to the growth and adoption of bitcoin and crypto currencies in general.

[Hewlet]

What is your observation so far and do you think the trend will hit other industries that are still slow on Bitcoin adoption?

well, what is happening is just same as saying if you tap my back, i will tap your back and at the end of the day, it becomes a win win situation for both of us. their is no way you talk talk about the reach of bitcoin to the large populace of people without considering that casinos and the gambling industry has play her own part. take the forum for instance, the reason why the forum is still booming with hundreds of people joining the forum on a weekly bases is partly because people want to get involved in bitcoin and also partly because through the signature campaign that some casinos are coming up with, people now see the possibility of them earning in crypto and that way the casino gains in their own way and the crypto niche also gains in their own way.

gambling has led to an increased number of crypto users but through crypto, it has become even more possible to access some gambling platforms that ordinarily you could never think of having access to.
