I Want 1 BTC is a free browser game about the thing everyone says they wish they had done earlier. You begin at zero, walk out into an open world shared with other players, and pick up satoshis wherever you can find them. Nobody buys anything. There is no real money anywhere in it.

Before you can pick up a single coin you have to make a wallet, and the game hands you a twelve word seed phrase and asks you to look after it — because that is exactly how it works when the money is real. Send coins to another player and a network fee comes off the top and the transfer cannot be reversed, which is the lesson that costs people the most when they learn it the expensive way.
Somewhere out there is a wanderer with an offer that sounds too good to refuse. Taking it costs you. That is on purpose, and it is the cheapest possible version of a lesson a lot of people have paid real money for.
The map runs in every direction through grassland, forest, desert, tundra and mountains. Other players are really there, moving in real time. You can talk to anyone standing near you, wave at them, and send them bitcoin if you feel generous. A bonus region moves each day and pays double for whatever you collect inside it.
Most bitcoin explanations are articles nobody finishes. Getting a wallet wrong or falling for a scam teaches faster than any article does, but only if it costs nothing to get wrong. So this is the version where it costs nothing.
