Fabio Tiberia, founder of FT Consulting, has been a pioneer in the sports betting sector in Brazil since 2012, being responsible for bringing innovative technologies from Europe to the country. Since 2016, he has dedicated his attention to the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, the basis of the revolution that is shaping the next generation of the internet, known as Web 3.0.
Blockchain, introduced with the emergence of Bitcoin (BTC) in 2009, is a technology that allows the creation of a decentralized system, where there is no need for a central intermediary to validate transactions. This decentralization is the pillar of a true revolution that not only transforms the world economy, but also several sectors, including the iGaming market.
In the traditional model of sports betting platforms, management is centralized. The operator is responsible for setting odds, managing payments and controlling player data, both financial and biographical. This B2C (“business-to-consumer”) model is governed by rules imposed by central or third-party entities.
With the arrival of decentralized platforms based on blockchain and smart contracts, this paradigm is changing. Now, it is possible to implement a peer-to-peer model (“player to player”), in which the players themselves define the odds and bets. Payments are made transparently, securely, quickly and at reduced costs, all through smart contracts.
Fabio Tiberia believes that this evolution represents a unique opportunity to transform the iGaming sector, bringing greater transparency and autonomy to players. Soon, he will launch a series of courses with the Jobs.bet platform, covering interactions between the world of cryptocurrencies and iGaming. Among the topics covered will be:
- Decentralized Platforms vs. Centralized;
- Stablecoins and the Democratization of Online Gaming;
- Betting Pools and Wealth Redistribution;
- KYC or Privacy;
- Affiliate System with Smart Contracts;
- Peer-to-Peer vs. Peer Betting Centralized;
- Decentralized Risk Management;
- Hot vs. Hot Wallets Cold Storage;
- AML and Flash USDT: Potential Enemies.
The intrinsic value of Bitcoin and blockchain technology is also worth highlighting. BTC represents the only existing anti-flationary currency where its real value often exceeds its nominal value, making it a powerful weapon against inflation. Furthermore, Bitcoin symbolizes the democratization of the global financial system, allowing individuals from anywhere in the world to access a fairer, more transparent economy independent of central intermediaries.
This technology is not just a passing trend, but a milestone that, over the next two years, will revolutionize the world and the iGaming sector. Everything we know today will be obsolete given the innovations provided by blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The future is decentralized, and this is an opportunity that no professional or enthusiast should ignore.
