Not a competitor. More like marketed like one.
Peerplays governance is determined by its PPY token holders. Dao.casino is centralized to the dev team and what they decide will run (could more easily be argued to be the owners and likely to face that regulatory hammer). Peerplays gaming experience is real-time. Not possible in dao.casino. Peerplays supports multiple crypto-currencies. dao.casino is limited to the tiny faction of people in the world holding eth. Peerplays has scalability. dao.casino suffers from all the same things every single other project in ethereum suffers from which prevents scalability (don't believe us, talk with the augur guys or any other projects yet to release anything scaleable after years of dev and find out why).
Since Peerplays came on the scene May of last year many have tried to copy us in our wake. We have yet to see anything that can be considered 'competition'. What they are doing though certainly looks like an interesting experiment.
Hope this helped.
Thanks! Yes, that helps a lot. Still I don't see what would drive ETH marketcap to Trillions of dollars. Why would ETH be favored over all other cryptos available?
There are a few factors to consider in how Peerplays works that contribute to this. First, ETH is faster than btc and has greater support than some other crypto currencies and it will depend on onboarding support what most choose.
Second is Peerplays profitsharing mechanism. With all the ETH wagered with the profit is then distributed to all PPY holders. This increases the holders of ETH and thus the utility. This will also increase the volumes and thus the market cap.
We are talking about a real working production level application designed to take on all markets. This impact will be dramatic.
Mind you if another crypto make a better showing in the network, all of that could shift.
Whom ever manages to be the crypto of choice in Peerplays for the end users will likely end up being the most dominate in the market.
That makes sense. Thanks again! So how would the average PPY holder collect his profit-sharing in ETH? .. assuming he invested with bitcoin and doesn't even have an ETH wallet.
edit:
The FAQ descibes UIA tokens and Gateway tokens.
I guess these tokens will be used to distribute profits to PPY holders.
