Haven't played bitcoin poker for a while, just when I started looking for my old sites they are both closed, I probably even had some chips in there, bitcoin is rising since Trump entered the scene, why are poker sites suffering?
Because the poker boom happened in 2003 and the sites that established themselves in that time are the ones who have survived, due to network effect also. BTC sites have only been around after 2010 its hard to get a player base. What we need is for BTC games to run on all sites in BTC.
well yeah but the market is keep changing , take party poker as an example as they were the top site in the world and now they aren't even in top3
and now pokerstars is doing horrible changes and this may change their position
but when it comes to btc most players are afraid to turn to btc due the price factor , maybe when btc is more steady more players will show interest in btc cause the main problem is the lack of players
Them party poker days were insane, pokerstars was just a small site back then. The games were so sick people could make several hundred k per year with basic skills. Problem now is pokerstars have monopoly on the market and they know how to run a business to optimum levels - i dont see anything changing atm. Maybe decentralized poker somehow with no rake but the fish go to the sites who advertise.
