Gaming Fintech ZEBEDEE and mobile gaming studio Fumb Games recently announced the release of Bitcoin Miner, which is “an idle mobile game that pays players real Bitcoin for managing a simulated crypto mining business.”
The game represents “an interesting fusion of gaming and Fintech, as players get rewarded in Bitcoin for simulating an activity that would generate new Bitcoin in the real world.”
Paul West, Founder of Fumb Games, stated:
“We originally released Bitcoin Miner about four years ago, when crypto started taking off. But there was no real appetite for the game, as it wasn’t possible to enable players to earn actual Bitcoin with it at the time. With ZEBEDEE, we were able to put real Bitcoin into the game, which makes the premise of Bitcoin Miner much more fun, impactful and noteworthy for players.”
It is a bold move in a field that “is still largely misunderstood – there are many more misconceptions than truths floating around in regard to Bitcoin mining.”
Many users see it as mysterious or sometimes even scary, “due to the common reports of the harmful effects of energy use due to Bitcoin mining.”
These reports are “at best exaggerated and at worst completely false, but the road to education and true understanding is a long-winded one.”
Simon Cowell, CEO of ZEBEDEE, added:
“Bitcoin is an amazing technology for human progress. We mostly use it for its utility benefits, like the ability to transfer a fraction of a cent, or millions, to anyone in the world instantly and at zero cost using the Lightning Network. But we are also passionate for the technology of Bitcoin itself and hope that fun and easily approachable games like Bitcoin Miner will foster curiosity about Bitcoin and get more people of all ages and backgrounds learning about it and participating in the new digital economy powered by Bitcoin.”
To play Bitcoin Miner and other Bitcoin games for free while having fun, you may download the ZEBEDEE app.
Fumb Games is “a UK based mobile game studio that specializes in idle and merge games.”
With the release of Bitcoin Miner, they’ve “entered the quickly growing world of play to earn gaming powered by Bitcoin.”
As mentioned in an update shared with CI, ZEBEDEE claims to be “the leading fintech company focused on providing Bitcoin services for the gaming industry with comprehensive tools and an integrated app to easily engage gamers with a seamless and fun UX.”
Its sophisticated tools “enable developers to create Bitcoin-powered games and communities for players, and erase the boundaries between real and virtual economies by powering game titles with the world’s largest cryptocurrency.”
