An interesting question I think you can always leave audience with is —

How can sports help grow Bitcoin adoption beyond limits?

That's a great question! Let's see if we can remember to talk about it.

Well, you could make betting by BTC a thing to do! I suppose facilitating gambling with sats or BTC would gather some interest for the gamblers in the house. Making side- bets with each other might not entail any state interference.

It already is

Oh, you mean that there is side-betting going on or that their is online bookies here?

They still need to develop a full lightning network sports book, but there are several websites with sports betting:

Freebitcoin mostly has soccer, but they put up other events seemingly at random
Nitrobetting is a pretty traditional sports betting site that uses bitcoin (not exclusively), but it doesn't allow lightning payouts.
Predyx is a new prediction market site that uses the lightning network and has a few sports outcomes.
The makers of Predyx are working on a LN sports book, but it isn't up and running yet.

It is a good thing I learned about gambling long ago in the dog tracks and Vegas!! I don’t do it any more. When I was gambling, I would only take as much as I could loose, loose it, then quit. I figured out that there was only the house to gamble against and they always win.

Edit: How can Sports help grow Bitcoin adoption beyond limits and at a very fast pace?

Don't talk just leave your audience with the question in the end of the podcast.

As you wish

Ahh sorry I mean it's a suggestion not a direction for you guys. I think this question will create a great connect with the audience for this week. I also feel that you should always end the pod with a question and ask the response in the comments.

You could also make an offer at the end of a podcast. Such as a side-bet or something similar. What about making pools?

30 sats \ 21 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 23 Nov

Making random wagers at the end could be fun. We do have several running bets, but I usually forget to bring them up.

31 sats \ 20 replies \ @grayruby fwd 23 Nov

And I forget that we made them. I am glad you are keeping track. Hopefully you don’t get temporary amnesia when I win.

Another new NBA champ this season
All new MVPs going forward
