ZEBEDEE to integrate bitcoin to CS:GO

[xSkylarx]

In the near future, you can earn some bitcoin while playing the popular fps game called Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or what we know as CS:GO. Thanks to bitcoin startup ZEBEDEE, they will launch a CSGO server where players can earn based on their performance on the game.

Players will pay as low as 100 satoshi and depending on their KDA(kill, death, assist) ratio, they can get a share of the total prize based on their performance of the final game result. They can cashout anytime and it will be handled by the Lightning Network.

This will open a lot of opportunities for online games not only on fps to integrate bitcoin. This is good news for gamers but also has some disadvantages because it will increase the rate of game addiction unless they put a maximum amount to earn daily or monthly.

"Cowell said he believes the ZEBEDEE integration will change the world of informal esports gaming the same way Robinhood opened up the world of stock trading". - this phrase is key for me in this article. I remember thus moment with Robinhood in 2018, when they announced a waitlist for commission-free cryptocurrency trading. This waitlist had grown to more than 1,250,000 after this announcement in a day. Robinhood opened the opportunity for trading Bitcoin and Ethereum to lots of users. CS:GO is famous and popular worldwide and ZEBEDEE moving towards the Bitcoin acceptance is making a great step in its own history and in whole.

Im sure putting up some sort of restriction or limit for maximum amount to earn will really just wipe out the interest for those who are really eager to make use of Bitcoin.
I was really surprised that they do decide to integrate Bitcoin into one of the most famous FPS game at the moment. Hopefully this wont really be limiting out to CS:GO
alone but also in other FPS games as well like Fortnite, Valorant etc.

This is actually a good news for those people or crypto lovers at the same time they are also some gamers just like me.This really pokes out my interest.

Interesting, and it's about time! This could bring some real money into CS:GO.

I imagine after a night session playing CS:GO, I'm getting a message like:

Player Tstar, you made 123 headshots. We've credited your account with 123 000 satoshis. Congratulations!

I think that teenagers will appreciate such an innovation, since they are ready to play for a penny for days on end. Older people will not pay attention to this, although who knows how it really will be.

That's a good incentive for csgo players and it's also better if they also integrate it with other games. This is like sharing a pool of money from the participants with that low amount. And whoever gets the best KDA will have the greatest share for that amount in the pool.
It's a good performance based incentive for crypto folks and players.

THis indeed, opens a lot of opportunities in both gaming community and crypto community. I would love to try this out as even a hundred satoshi would be valuable soon with the constant increase of the price of BTC. Also, CSGO games only takes about 30mins and grinding it for both fun and a little perks would and might make the CSGO community grow more. One flaw with this is that there are tons of cheaters in the game, hence it might easily be rigged, not unless the rewarding system itself would have its own cheat detection.

This isn't exactly ground-breaking, such projects have been existing for years, and they never became popular, which in my opinion is a good thing, because young people shouldn't be encouraged to gamble.
To me, the only exciting thing about Bitcoin and gaming is the possibility of Bitcoin Lightning Network integration in online game stores and in the games themselves.
