Bitcoin can get you illegal drugs — but a game developer is using it to redefine digital ownership

You can use the digital cryptocurrency to buy games and to buy items, but one developer wants to take bitcoin one step further.

Swiss studio EverdreamSoft said that its next mobile game is a trading-card battler called Spells of Genesis, and it uses bitcoin in its lore and to secure digital goods. You may use the cryptocurrency (in addition to your standard debit or credit card) to buy in-game items and booster packs to improve your deck, but EverdreamSoft also plans to use the bitcoin blockchain technology to lock purchases to the person who bought it. Digital card games are a growing sector of the market with releases like Heartstone from Blizzard and SolForge from Stone Blade Entertainment growing in popularity and revenues over the last year.
