Of course, the amount of actual Bitcoin that I’ve earned for hours upon hours of tapping the screen and watching interminable video ads is far less than what my character racked up in the game. It’s a pittance, really. But is it still worth your time?

However, Bitcoin Empire not only feels like a repetitive retread that’s overloaded with obnoxious ads, but also one of the stingier examples that I’ve played to date.
Across about 19 hours of largely passive play over the last couple weeks, including a few investor-fueled restarts in search of bigger gains, I’ve banked 255 satoshis that I can withdraw to a ZBD wallet and spend or transfer as I wish. A satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, equal to 1/100,000,000 of a full Bitcoin.
In other words, I’ve earned about 17 cents’ worth of BTC by playing Bitcoin Empire. That’s less than a penny per hour in Bitcoin rewards.
