You will be able to obtain Bitcoin, some Satoshes, from playing Counter Strike Global Offensive (CSGO), as the development at ZEBEDEE have decided to create a small software, which is utilising the power of the Lightning Network, that will enable people to obtain Bitcoin through online matches, betting or otherwise, where you will obtain or lose them through the power of your skills against others.
The idea came about where they thought to themselves that creating games from the ground up for Bitcoin is pretty hard, so instead of doing that, they thought to bring Bitcoin to popular games instead, which seemed to be much more easier, and that would be much more effective at increasing the adoption of this new monetary system.

Video games infused with Bitcoin offer never-before-seen interactions:

• New revenue models
• Better ad integrations
• Microtransactions— ZEBEDEE (@zebedeeio) January 6, 2021
