Benchmark Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Because gaming and crypto are so intertwined? Or is it just another acquisition because Nexon has too much money lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrongey Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Pulled what I had on there off just in case something shady goes down. Now watch them pay out a dividend or something like that. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many games use virtual currencies & in-game marketplaces, pay-to-play, tournament play etc. plus potential for micro-transactions or pay developers. I would say there are many ways to fit crypto into the model. Benchmark and FlownHause 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 btw, you still have to pay taxes with gambling winnings, ( like when you won some money at the slot machines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 https://www.ccn.com/bitstamp-to-be-sold-to-south-korean-gaming-firm-for-350-million-report/ Quote Cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp will reportedly be acquired by a South Korean gaming company. Citing three sources familiar with the matter, Business Insider reports that Bitstamp — the world’s oldest surviving Bitcoin exchange — is close to finalizing a sale to Nexon, a South Korean gaming company that is now headquartered in Japan. Nexon is rumored to be paying $350 million or $50 million less than Circle paid for Poloniex. Nexon’s recently purchased a controlling stake in South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Korbit. Bitstmap is one of the earliest backers in XRP. This might also affect USD investments MBi and Rose 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanman Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Perhaps South Korea's love of XRP spurred Nexon's interest in Bitstamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XRPgoat Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I love Bitstamp. If this is true, I'm okay as long as it doesn't effect the Bitstamp that I've grown to love...great customer service and I trust them. Tripple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
