That's exciting you're working on turning your contest into an app. It could be used in a wide variety of sporting and other applications, so I think if you decided to sell or license it, you could do quite well.
I had heard that Malta was bullish on crypto, and honestly, I'm surprised that more people aren't at this point. They've shown that as a technology, they're not going away. The markets are still bear, so it seems like people would be buying up more... but maybe they're just doing it quietly so they have longer to acquire more assets.
One of my concerns about governments regulating exchanges is that even if they don't control the crypto, if they're controlling the distribution and exchange, they can make it difficult to use specific cryptos, and steer people to their (the government) own crypto. Then, rather than getting the decentralized payment systems that we've been wanting, we could end up with centralized ones. The centralized ones will be able to track us even more than we are already. It's just a concern I have. It hasn't materialized as of yet. (Although I heard the CIA can identify virtually any Bitcoin user. Not sure if that's true.)
The walls in your hotel room are interesting. Until you showed a bit of the room, I was fairly sure that you were lying on the floor. It looks like flooring material. Ha ha.
Thanks for running the contests. They're fun to enter. I hope you're having a good time in Malta. Take some cool travel pics for us if you have time.
I see the regulated centralised exchanges as a stop-gap. Decentralised exchanges, with good liquidity and UX is inevitable, for exactly the reason you highlight. Centralised exchanges pose the systemic risk that crypto were designed to eliminate.
I do think that having a government embrace crypto opens the space up to more interest and brain juice that can help the technology grow.
when I arrived at the airport, there was a lady in baggage reclaim asking, 'Are you here for the Blockchain Summit? Beat the queues by registering here.' I was then ushered into a little room to register and claim my name badge.
That is very cool!!! I have heard good things in the crypto world about Malta, but that would top it for me! Have a great time in Malta, see you in Krakow next week :D
Good to see you vlogging again and you are looking so fit and I am pretty sure that's because of your hard workout routine that you are following each day and it's really good to know that you are learning coding to create your own application.
Just enjoy the blockchain event and keep posting more Vlogs.
ScoopStakes looks great, I remember playing it back in the days and I remember thinking "Shit, this must be a lot of work" - so I am glad you are getting it automated!
Yep, I'll definitely on-board a team eventually. At the moment my 'pet project' is ticking along nicely. Still a lot of work but the right kind of work this time.
Yesterday I was just thinking about steem betting. People using their steem to stake on games. I know gambling is not one of the many things encouraged by society but it's a huge market--especially soccer betting. I don't know, maybe it's something you can do in the future.
By the way, good luck with the Malta summit. Hope something products come out of it
Sports betting is something I'm considering for the future. But for now I think there is a lot that can be done by offering competitions that people can enter for free , win prizes whilst enjoying games that evolve around their favourite sport.

Hey, so cool to meet you today at MBS. I hope to see you tomorrow.
You too! Check my latest post, you feature in it!
It’s crazy how the block chain is expanding and literally follows us everywhere we go.
Also what’s the meeting all about ?
The Maltese government is embracing Blockchain technology. It's the countries way of letting the crypto world know it is open for business!
Will the help for the future price increase?
Who knows, it can't hurt!
Hey man, good to see one of you vlogs again.
ScoopStakes looks great, I remember playing it back in the days and I remember thinking "Shit, this must be a lot of work" - so I am glad you are getting it automated!
Maybe use utopian somehow to get some help?
Anywayz, all the best bro, keep it up!
Thanks man.
Yep, I'll definitely on-board a team eventually. At the moment my 'pet project' is ticking along nicely. Still a lot of work but the right kind of work this time.
scoop stakes catchy name UI looks pretty sweet good work nice man always hated the design part myself but this looks class.
Might enter for once lol will be sweet once you get a front end on there :)
Yeah definitely get involved!
I'm new to the whole frontend design stuff but its fun to play around and see what works and what people respond to.

I am waiting for you to explain to us about the results of the Blockchain Summit meeting in Malta, I hope it can be useful for us ...
