Hi Fellow's :)
Have you heard of 1ST coin?
NOO??
Well let me tell you something about it cause now its the time to jump into this coin.
1ST is a coin, wich is putting their vision on betting, and especially on betting into games. Now allot of you're old people (YES if you are 40+, then you are OLD!), dont know how big this industry really is. So let me show you.
Unfortunately i cant find that info on the web, probably all people play games instead of the people in North Korea, here only Kim Jung Un plays it : (Source = Steam accounts worldwide)
Back to why you should invest into 1st coin:
What i can find is the total amount of Esports makes, and Esport is the main goal for the 1st coin for being implemented into.
The Emergence of eSports

So thats allot isnt it?
In the whitepaper 1st coin presents this goal of being implemented into Esports, see it in here:

Here they also present a estimated, potential volume for some top games right now:
The other big + on this coin is that it is based on Ethereum. And as you guys probably know by now is that Ethereum is even better build then the bitcoin, and it probably only takes some time for ethereum to raises above bitcoin. Almost all new coins are based on the way ethereum has been build, not bitcoin cause the transaction time is very long of the bitcoin in compare with ethereum.
1st Coin also says in its roadmap that eventually it will make the oppertunity for every gamer in the world to start their own "tournament" (1v1, 5v5 etc) and where they can make their own bet on the winning team. This would be great! Im sure everyone of the gamers would love this feature!
(Oh and last but not least, it already has a large marketcap, $101,907,720)
