in the future we will have very cool games with bitcoin or a game-currency which is bound to BTC
Yes, I'm looking forward to this. Bitcoin is a perfect fit for games, because it's an universal electronic currency. You don't even have to convert to in-game currencies anymore...
I would think after 5 years this should have already been a reality. its shows how one tracked the developers of bitcoin really are. online games are a multibillion dollar industry, I just assumed it was common sense for them to have worked this into their business plan. talk about adaptation, DotA makes millions of dollars selling thier virtual items for their heros, imagine if people were using bitcoins instead of cash. They have a bitcoin portal but no one buys anything on there with bitcoins. I have all my items up for sale , people want to pay me cash and i tell them I will only accept bitcoins. Or take another game like anything on facebook replace the games virtual currency with bitcoins, WOW. ask yourself how long would it really take the developers of bitcoin to make a game and add it to the facebook apps? hmmmm? surely not 5 years.
Do you have any idea how much work has been done on Bitcoin Core alone? It's not the responsibility or "business plan" of the free Bitcoin project to bring games to the market. That would be plain stupid. It's up to independent companies to do that. But Bitcoin makes the use of in-game currencies easier and more relevant than ever before.
ya.ya.yo!
Hmmm so what you are saying is the bitcoin developers should wait around for other companies to implement bitcoins in their own personal business. for example lets say i own Steam, you EXPECT me to take time out of my schedule and design a game to implement your coin, a plan that is going to not only raise awareness to your dream, but increase demand as well as create a massive flood of transactions. HMMM I think you need to re-evaluate whose responsibility it is to put this coin in a game.
Please sir tell me what incentive would a company like Steam have to put this project in place? what do they get out of it. If steam were to do this the demand for Bitcoins would be greatly increased. Why is it someone elses responsibility to create a demand for Bitcoins? did someone else create it, or did the developers create and work on it? I can promise you if Steam put bitcoins only into thier transaction process, no cash just bitcoins, the value of bitcoin would go to 2000 dollars over night. And yes that much money is spent on Steam on a daily basis. They hold a platform for hundreds of games not just DotA.
And in his post we see why Bitcoins has not progressed on a user level in 5 years, its a sit around and wait for everyone else to do the work for us.
EDIT: I will say However HAHA this is a little funny after my rant, Steam is designing a game completely around Dogecoins of all things. you can see it here. It like a space conquer MMORPG and you can create items and sell them to other players for DOGEcoins
