中文代理與玩家刮起比特幣充值浪潮

自從加入了匿名貨幣比特幣轉賬方式,PayPerHeadAgents.com的代理服務業務有所增長。尤其對中文玩家而言更為明顯。

世界最大規模的比特幣交易所BTCChina的首席執行官 Bobby Lee說:“這都是關於貿易,關於波動性,關於盈利 - - 低價買入,高價賣出。”

上週CNN採訪了Lee並報道了比特幣使用現象。PayPerHeadAgent.com的代表Federico Gomez則表示,現在是時候推廣比特幣服務在博彩業的廣泛使用。

他告訴Gambling911.com整體行業是不願意提供比特幣服務。但首次收到有更多玩家使用並增長達百分之十時是由Gambling911.com提供的消息,通過這消息我們能更快整合我們的數據。

Gomez並沒有評論已經使用比特幣的用戶的百分比,但他表示數字非常樂觀。

PayPerHeadAgent’s表示其中一大部分使用者可能是來源於中國玩家或華裔。

CNN指出在中國地區,比特幣已經迅速普及。可能是因為它擁有世界上最高的智能手機普及率。據Goldman公司一份報告稱,大約有80%的比特幣交易量都是人民幣兌換。
