We've covered a lot of mobile games in the past; Pay players Bitcoin rewardsbut Bitcoin miner is the most literal interpretation I've seen so far: you're mining fake cryptocurrencies with this iOS and android Although it is a game, you can turn real money into cash. Bitcoin.
as DecryptionGG recently reported, Bitcoin Miner was first launched several years ago without any real BTC earnings incorporated, and it didn't take off. But when Fumb Games implemented the ability to earn and redeem Satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin, or 1/100 millionth of a BTC), downloads exploded and players kept coming back. Ta.
And after playing Bitcoin Miner every day for over a week, I completely understood it. As with all of these games, the amount of Bitcoin you can actually win is incredibly small. Also, the full-screen video ads you have to endure along the way can be annoying, especially when they promote similarly deceptive-looking games. Game over and over again.
But unlike many of these games, Bitcoin Miner is packed with personality thanks to its pixel artwork and references to various coins, and it's a fun treat for those of us who live in this ridiculous industry.

You're not going to make a ton of money with this game, but it's fun to participate for a few minutes at a time. Several Bitcoin to play with.
Bitcoin Miner is a simple idle “clicker” game where you earn rewards by repeatedly tapping a button. We start with a single cryptocurrency miner. A little pixel guy sitting in front of a computer and occasionally a little pixel generates his coins and it scrolls into the piggy bank. As you deposit more coins, you can invest in additional levels of the mine and upgrade the speed at which you generate rewards.
Eventually, a multi-layered mine producing (fake!) bags is completed. Ethereum, dogecoin, Solana, Shiba Inu, and eventually Bitcoin. Reinvesting your coins into mine upgrades not only increases your earning capacity, but also unlocks and equips “managers” to earn more bonuses or open additional mines in other regions. You can also do this.
Admittedly, the gameplay doesn't have a lot of depth, but there's always another upgrade, boost, or expansion to pour coins into, and watch video ads to significantly increase your earnings or unlock other perks. There are many opportunities to watch.
In the process, you can also earn real Bitcoin in the form of Satoshi. Satoshi is lightning network. Satoshi may appear on screen to tap to earn, but he can also be hidden around the in-game store or awarded as a daily login reward. Most of the time, you earn these through simple gameplay missions that appear on screen.
In reality, it doesn't amount to enough Bitcoin to turn into cash. After playing for 5 hours, I collected 236 Satoshis. This equates to approximately $0.16 worth of Bitcoin at the time of this writing. This is on par with most of these mobile Bitcoin games where on average he tends to earn the equivalent of a few pennies per hour. Fumb's unique asteroid mining game, SpaceY.
Don't play Bitcoin miner thinking the bank will make money. Play it because this is a funny riff on the crypto market and unlike the real crypto market, numbers will always go up in this fake video game economy. The reason I'm still playing is because I want to see how wild the fake returns can be, even if the actual Bitcoin I'm getting is ultimately insignificant. .
