10 sats \ 2 replies \ @Tristan OP 27 Mar \ parent \ on: What would you build with an escrow API? bitcoin
Man, I’m so sorry. I know that industry inside and out - I worked in construction and real estate for over 10 years.
The BitEscrow API is non-custodial and you can assign (and if you want to, multiple) third party agents, so the chance of this happening is much much lower.
It’s a real shame that we can’t even trust the court system to help us retrieve funds. That’s why BitEscrow is trustless, so you don’t have to rely on trust systems.

Key word is almost: everything's fine. But we're bitcoiners. We don't wait for the worst case scenario; we plan ahead.

I think the biggest barrier to this outcome of BE soaking up significant market share here would be trust.
If you could demonstrate good track record of fair outcomes at a lower cost it's game over. I think as the older generations die off and their millenial and Gen Z kin are the ones that have to do the real estate deals, trust becomes more likely.
Rooting for you guys.
