Despite being considered as a theoretical air pocket less than a decade ago, bitcoin is fast becoming popular among businesses and operators as a feasible option for payments processing.

In the online gambling sector, bitcoin appeals to gamblers because it allows them to make and receive payments almost instantly, and without the high transaction fees. Johnny Mayo of Forbes Asia 30 under 30 Finance & VC previously said bitcoin has helped the gambling industry revolutionize itself, particularly in terms of digital payments.

“I think, there’s a few different variables here but I think the largest would be now we have the first opportunity for micro transactions. We have the ability to be able to split a value of a percent. Using current traditional payment system, you can’t do that,” Mayo told CalvinAyre.com. “You can’t send to send to each other and it makes certain ideas impossible from the get go. That for me, I’d say is probably the bigger things with bitcoin and gaming is the micro transaction element.”

Currently, smaller operators have already started adopting bitcoin in their product offers, but a wider adoption from larger, established operators remains to be seen. However, there are developing nations – such as the Philippines and Malaysia – that are now starting to catch up with the others countries that are leading the way.

Next week, four bitcoin experts will sit down at the ASEAN Gaming Summit to discuss the opportunities for bitcoin gambling, especially in the Southeast Asian region. Jiten Melwani, founder and CEO of Bitgame Labs, will join Coinpoint CEO Oron Barber and Playbetr managing director Marvin Jones will talk about the possibility of cryptocurrency being the payment option of choice, among other things.

Whether you like it or hate it, money is an absolutely vital force in today’s world. However, the job market that we rely on to make that money is in worse shape than ever.
A struggling economy has lead to a severe lack of jobs, and now we find both the young and old alike struggling to find opportunities to earn money.
People who have enjoyed relative security throughout their lives have now found themselves having a hard time getting small bills paid, and people who are just emerging into the work force are finding themselves short on opportunities, and often reliant on their parents (which makes the whole problem worse, in the long run.)However, the modern age has also brought with it an invaluable resource that is capable of assisting people regardless of what position in life they’re in.That valuable resource is none other than the internet that you’re using right now.There is an untold amount of money waiting to be made on the internet, it won’t quite match up to the money that they have made in the past, or perhaps even what their peers are making now.
