Hi all,

I recently started working on an educational game that informs the player about some of the important concepts about bitcoin and am looking for some feedback.

The target player is not an engineer or an economist, but a person on the street that still believes fiat is good and that we are fine with money controlled by the state.

The game is designed as a series of conversations between two people, one asks questions and the other responds. The responses almost always include a mini game where the player solves a simple task to understand the concept.

For example, the first game is a simple "scratch the screen" game to reveal the bitcoin emission schedule.

Here's a list topics for which I am currently developing mini games:

  • Inflation hedge. Digital Gold.
  • How to pay using Bitcoin. No need for Credit Cards or banks.
  • How payments work - mining intro.
  • Double spending is almost impossible.
  • Censorship resistance.
  • Fleeing a war zone with bitcoin.
  • Keeping it safe. Secret sharing.
  • Purity of bitcoin vis a vis gold purity tests.
  • Address the fear of losing coins.
  • Anonymity and privacy.
  • No banks or state or single miner or developer regulates Bitcoin. Essentially, "no one" regulates Bitcoin.

Would love to get any input on the list if topics. Is there something I am missing as the first introduction to someone new to bitcoin? Is there something I should take out?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.


Design the game similar to how Cashflow 101 game is played to make it interactive and fun and also they should be forced to think on how they view money.
To add:
1. How the government keeps increasing fiat currency (inflation) vs how bitcoin is fixed supply (deflationary). How savings in fiat or value of savings in fiat is being robbed in plain sight.
2. Why no one can stop a bitcoin transaction (censorship resistance)
3. Why bitcoin is "unhackable" - e.g. will take 33 decillion years to crack a btc wallet with value using an existing ultra-super-mega computer.
4. Why bitcoin is better than gold in terms of portability (imagine carrying $100,000,000 in gold and paying someone with it haha)
