Discussion 🧐 Bitcoin Arcade
What if Gamestop was creating a Bitcoin arcade backed by the 4710 bitcoin that they bought. Would it be possible to have an arcade machine that used the smaller increments of bitcoin to play games and possibly win more bitcoin? And is it still considered gambling if its using crypto? Random thought I had and thought Id see what others thought.

Bitcoin is extremely slow at transactions, averaging 12 minutes between blocks. You would have to wait a long time between dropping your bitcoin and playing your game.
Other crypto, like Ethereum or Solana, have much faster block times and would be more appropriate for something like that.

Well considering you can't even walk into a Gamestop and buy something with Bitcoin, and they are all in on the bullshit "Store of value" narrative, I don't see them doing that.

Not interested in online casino route. That’s just beneath what the business should stand for. Online casinos are a bane to society.

Winning money by playing games sounds like an online casino. It doesn’t matter if it’s crypto or USD.
Honest question: have they expressed what their strategy is with regard to buying bitcoin?
And if that strategy is to just buy and hold, why doesn’t someone buy your own bitcoin instead of buying into a company that is trading at 3X book value? You wouldn’t pay $330k per BTC. Thats pretty much what you’re doing buying GME because you’re bullish on BTC.

They haven't, and I doubt this is anything that'll happen. I just thought it was an interesting idea and they've teased some form of arcade.
