Or is this some random thought that you had? this and while the original Civilization is proprietary, freeciv is free software and Bitcoin can be lobbied easier into it Title: Re: Do you think Bitcoin will make it into the next Civilization game? Post by: tutkarz on January 22, 2014, 01:29:39 PM There is no point in bitcoin in civ game because these games are not focused around financial problems and there is only one global currency anyway. You may think of it like bitcoin is in civ games from the start in form of gold that can not be printed from thin air and there is no inflation.

BTW. FIAT money is also in no civ game, neither as Technology or as a WorldWonder. *** World-Wonder FIAT Money. *** The Civivilication which builds this Wonder receives unlimited Funds. If FIAT Money is used more than once per turn it may result in civil unrest. This World Wonder is obsolete with the discovery of crypto currency. :P Title: Re: Do you think Bitcoin will make it into the next Civilization game?

Yes, Bitcoin could be a world wonder that would enable some perks like global trade (and eventually obsolete WallStreet, just for lolz).

That would be funny! :D Title: Re: Do you think Bitcoin will make it into the next Civilization game? Post by: zolace on January 22, 2014, 05:09:26 PM lol this is the most hilarious posting yet!!!
Title: Re: Do you think Bitcoin will make it into the next Civilization game? Post by: Interized on January 22, 2014, 05:31:29 PM I think he means games like WoW or Diablo.
They have in-game currency that has actual value (you can trade for USD). Second life, which isn't actually a game -- it is indeed a "second life" but has a currency of its own -- People build/design anything like you would in the real world but virtual, and people pay for it with the Second Life currency which can also be traded for USD. I think he is suggesting games might use BTC as the currency instead of a controlled system open for exploits. (botting) Title: Re: Do you think Bitcoin will make it into the next Civilization game?
