I'm surprised by this. Where are their users?

I don't know anyone who is using ZBD with any kind of frequency.

It powers Fountain and Wavlake wallets last I checked. I also imagine it's in games that aren't bitcoin focused and are invisible to bitcoiners.

And these licenses are expensive to acquire[1] and maintain. Just for the licenses, I'd guess an acquirer might pay 5-10x what it'd cost to get the licenses themselves considering how long these licenses take to get and all the compliance machinery required to maintain them.

Add in existing customers, a talented team, a compelling vision, then bam, you've got a nine figure valuation I imagine.

  1. a good enough guess: >$2 million per continent and several years.

I'm intrigued by the non Bitcoin games they are powering. I don't think I've ever played a game on my phone, perhaps there is a whole new world that awaits.

The licensing is a good point. I suppose I was feeling like I hadn't heard anything from them in a couple years. But now it has me wondering if I really just don't see them because they are in a different world.

Seems wildly overvalued honestly.

I once lost a wallet with over 10,000 satoshis; it seems my account was banned for no reason. After that, I was traumatized and never used it again.

Did they steal your sats or you got them back eventually?

reply

Same here. And the "technical support" is nonexistent. They don't answer, they don't give reasons, and even less so any options for recovering the account.

The funny thing is, I was going to delete the account soon. They saved me the trouble, but they kept my sats.

reply

Explains why they kept sending me e-mails to do something with my dormant account, or the account would be retired / deleted.

I even forgot what wallet or service I used that for withdrawal would only permit withdraw to ZBD. Otherwise, I would never have even created that account.

Wow I stopped using ZBD a long tune ago but this is an impressive raise

I was impressed too, but I no longer trust using the ZBD wallet.
