About this game
Players pick a retirement month from 2013 onward, start with $500,000 in BTC at that month's price, and choose a lifestyle budget of $3k, $5k or $8k per month that rises with inflation. The game replays real month-end Bitcoin price history (from Coin Metrics' free community data) up to today, pausing at major moments such as the 2013 crash, the 2017 top, COVID, the 2021 top and the 2022 winter, where the player chooses to HODL, sell half for cash, buy back in, or spend 25% less for a year. At the end the player receives a rank (Diamond Hands, Paper Hands, Pizza Guy, Wen Lambo and others) and a comparison against holding from the same start. A 'Surprise me' option randomises the start month. No sign-up, nothing saved, free, no ads or paywall; the site uses Google Analytics with a cookie banner. The author notes it is not financial advice and is a game about the past.
