StarCraft Had It All Wrong
Ah, those wonderful days when people were still unfamiliar with Bitcoin and just how rich this cryptocurrency could make them… Well, the times have certainly changed and now we look at Bitcoin stories from 2011 with a mixture of humor and sadness. Why weren’t we there?
This one time StarCraft, a military sci-fi game spread all across different galaxies and space worlds, held a competition, inviting around 60 players to take part in the game. The main prize was around $1,000, for the second place players received $500, and the fifth and eighth places received 25 Bitcoins each.
We don’t know whether to laugh or cry looking at this price pool! Back then Bitcoin was worth just $1.65, so the reward wasn’t all that high. We don’t know whether the players held onto their Bitcoins or not, but they could have gained quite a fortune!
