Apologies if this is buried somewhere in this long thread already, but some of the info seems out of date already.
Yeah, these things move really fast. I found two new-to-me sites in the last two days.
If you want to play with crypto natively, the options are SwCPoker (BTC), Nitrogen Sports (BTC), and I think Poker Shibes is still around (DOGE). Then there are a few extremely tiny sites.
Both SwC and Nitrogen denominate their games in mBTC (0.001 BTC) and it plays just like any other game except the currency is different.
As for safe, those sites have been around for quite a while and have a good cashout history. Other safety issues are more questionable, and it might help if you're more specific about what your concern is. Personally I only play headsup or MTTs on these sites unless I'm just donking about at micros, or I know all the players.
There are also lots of sites now that denominate play in USD but will happily let you move money in and out with cryptocurrencies. It's more common than not.
